Option to hide your online status or perhaps just when you are hanging out off the grid on a hidden street.

Glitch is a wonderfully social game but sometimes you just aren't in the mood to chat with half the world or more often you want to spend some time uninterrupted while talking to just one or two people. It's really difficult to have any sort of real conversation with somebody when you just keep getting PMs from all sorts of different people.

It would be nice to be able to either have the option to hide your online status or at least to make it so that there are places you can go hang out privately. Perhaps add the option to your house or make the hidden streets truly off the grid.

I know there is a block button but that is just not something you use on people you consider friendly acquaintances. It would hurt their feelings which is just a very uncool thing to do.

  • I would love to be able to play anon once in a while, especially when working towards a goal and don't want to seem rude.

  • I would like to voice VERY strong support for this idea! I agree that it's my fault for friending everyone, but isn't that what the game is all about? =P This would be super helpful for those times when you can only be logged in for a couple mins (i dislike having to tell everyone that i'm heading to work so i can't talk), and (like Li'll Missy said) when you're working on a specific mission and don't want to lose your train of thought (it sucks having to im every person sending you a party invite to let them know that you're busy now but you'd still appreciate the thought next time...) Pretty Pretty Pretty Please give this thought serious consideration and thank you (devs) for all you do either way! =^.^=

  • Many chat systems have either a Busy or a Do Not Disturb setting for chat.  Some also have a Stealth or Invisible mode.  Thse might serve most of the situations that people seem to want.
