[UPDATED: Open until closed] There is a problem with the game. Will the devs fix it?

Staff note- this is the thread that followed the outage; closing this one.

I can't log in, anyone know what's going on? Am I the only one having this problem?

Does anyone know if the devs will fix this?

  • What you gotta do, Haze, is find the flurbleforp in your browser, and jiggywigget it a bit. Then reboot your computer five times, and you'll be all set.

  • Hey guys, I just found out that there's already a topic addressing this, in case anyone is interested.

    There is a problem with the game. So, we will fix it.
    www.glitch.com/forum/genera...

    So apparently there is a problem.

    Edit: And they are planning on fixing it!

  • Wait, what?

    I thought it was the flurbleforp for sure.

  • No see, the jiggywigget was GCing the whatisnow and Maury Povich found a tranny in the nowthatsjustsilly.

  • *ahem*

    "Jiggywigget" is a verb.

  • Ah.  I see.  Well, that could also be part of the problem then.......

  • True. You don't ever want to verb your nouns or vice versa. That'll gunk up the glitchworld every time.

    :D

  • @diaveborn

    I tried rebooting, that didn't help at all. I think its a problem with the server side of the game. And there is a "We're currently closed" sign no matter which browser I use.

  • The problem might have been related to this account's user name, which contained a lot of squares, but for some crazy reason the number of characters in the user name increased over time... 

    It showed up as flowers instead of squares for Justin though: http://justindaigle.com/files/scr/Glitch-20120522-223834.png

    I tried visiting their home street after adding them as a contact and the game stopped working.

  • @ Haze - The sign is just a figment of your imagination :D

  • The devs are most definitely trying to fix it.

    Here's a quote from stoot from the other thread on when they are going to fix it...

    "We're ALREADY fixing it!"
    Posted 2 hr ago by stoot barfield

    Since that quote is from 2 hrs ago, I would say they are well aware of the problem, and they are going to fix it. In fact, to be more specific, they are already starting to fix it.

    I'll let you guys know what else I find out re: the fixing
    Posted 7 months ago by Haze Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Already?! 

    Wow :D

    Keep us informed, Haze!

  • I just heard from a source that the problem might have been related to a user's account name.
    Their name might have been adding characters over time and it caused crashes for some people's games.

    Source 2

    You can see what the user name looked like in Local Chat:  http://imgur.com/5kr5k

  • Here is an update from stoot. His update is entitled "Update."

    Update
    (at 10:53pm, pacific): But, seriously, it was more complicated than we thought. And, we're taking extra to make sure that we lose nothing. Still working!

    Based on this update, one can only assume that the problem was more complicated than they originally thought.

    We can only hope that they take extra care in resolving the problem, so as not to lose any data. Hopefully they are still working on the fix!

  • Haze! You are a true hero! Where the devs failed, you have stepped in and spoken directly to the people! I applaud you for your service in getting to the bottom of this.

    Guys, in case there is any confusion, Haze is trying to figure out what's going on. Here's an update from Haze.

    Based on this information, we can only surmise that Haze is actually looking into what the problem is. Thanks so much, Haze!

    Edit: I forgot to provide proof! Sorry! Here's where Haze gets to the bottom of this.

  • Everyone, I just got word from Jimothy that Haze is collaborating with the devs to get a straight answer as to what is going on:

  • Did they add meta potion to this game?

    Posted 7 months ago by Polly Nomial Subscriber! | Permalink
  • There's been an interesting point brought up in a forum. Snarkle asked if they've added a meta potion to the game:

    Did they add meta potion to this game?Posted 55 sec ago by snarkle | 

    Can anyone confirm?
    Posted 7 months ago by Sisfwip Murgletroid Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Did the problem actually have something to do with the player's character name? Cause if it did I say we tar and feather 'em.
    Posted 7 months ago by Papa Legba Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Yes, Sisfwip Murgletroid, I can definitely confirm that snarkle asked if they added a meta potion to the game.

  • Update: Great news from up on high! There is actually a thread discussing the incident right now. Haze announced and promised frequent and/or infrequent updates if you check this thread.

    Here's the source, if you don't believe me.

  • Here's an update from stoot with some great new information!

    Update (20-something minutes later): I'm still bored of this problem. It's boring.

    One can only surmise that he made this update 20 minutes after his previous update. As for the rest of his post, we're still analyzing its contents.

  • Update: We are now discussing the discussion of the incident.

    Source!

    edit: I may have spoken too soon, as we are now discussing other things.  Possibly.  Probably.

  • Update: My previous update missed some pertinent facts of stoot's 2nd update.
    Posted 7 months ago by Haze Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Haze, I think you should read the sticky topic.
    Posted 7 months ago by diaveborn ♥ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Update: Those pertinent facts relate to the boredom related to the fixing of the problem.

    Says stoot "Update (20-something minutes later): I'm still bored of this problem. It's boring."

    Based on this statement, we can only imagine that some of the devs are in fact bored. And its most likely as a result of fixing this problem. This is likely because the problem is believed to be "boring" (re: stoot's comment "It's boring.")

  • @Jimothy, Sorry I missed your post. It got lost among all of my updates.

    These look like great threads to use as reference for our reports. Your source is just filled with hard hitting facts, as reported by this post. I'm sure these sources will be valuable resources for our future reporting.
    Posted 7 months ago by Haze Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I continue to be amazed at the hardness with which I am being hit by these facts!
    Posted 7 months ago by diaveborn ♥ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Acting on a hunch, and with gentle guidance from diaveborn, I tried reading the stickied thread again for more information. It turns out the previously mentioned hard hitting facts, are in fact very hard hitting, and some would go so far as to say that they hit really, really hard.

    Sample quote:
    "Seriously, those facts hit really, really hard."
