Outside Chat

You know what there needs to be? An IM thing for when the game is down so people can talk back and forth besides using the forums.   Just a slight idea because Id like to harass my new friends!

  • +1, and it would be beneficial if the forums are on a different server than the main game servers so when it has to go down, etc. we can still post, and get info via the forums (or the new chat idea).

  • I don't want to be accused of spamming the forums here but we've just updated GlitchAddict.com with a social network facility, chat, forums, private messaging...and a bunch more stuff. We really have worked hard on this and have lots more goodies still to add..so anyone that wants to come on over and hang out with their friends during the down-time would be very welcome =)

  • No offense Gomez but I would prefer not tracking down people on a bunch of different sites. The only communication we have is our walls and the discussions on that can be very confusing. A private messaging system would be very useful.

  • There have been so many chat options/forum options/communication options offered up and none of them have really taken off.  I personally wish there was something attached to the Glitch site itself, especially since folks also read the forums..they get quite busy when the game is closed.

  • Big improvements are coming to the status update/newsfeed feature (that stuff on the on the home page) and this will do well to continue conversations when the game is off (or, when you are away from the game).

    And, in the long run, hopefully, 3rd party sites (like GlitchAddict) will use our APIs for authentication so that you don't need to create an account to use them — and your in-game friend's list works transparently carries over. (We need to do more work on our end for that to happen seamlessly.)

  • I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought this would be decent. :)   I was thinking the same as you nanookie

  • It's Morticia not Gomez ;-) You don't have to track anyone down on the site - they are all listed clearly in one place for you to add friends, you have the same abilities as here as well as a private messaging system and more. Like I said, I'm not here to spam anything, but we've put a lot of work into making the site something that people don't tire of too easily, and have some more fun features to add soon. Either way, anyone is welcome if they choose to wander over, if not then no probs =)

  • Gah, sorry I feel kinda stupid now. But can I easily find my friends who were on Glitch as well?

  • @AniThe site is only for Glitch players - we have just under 100 members now and they are all listed on the members page...just add them as friends and off you go!

    @Stoot - yes we are very interested in the future possibilities of API integration!
