The Reset

It's time (almost). Time to let go, time to start afresh. Time to reset.

You said to make it painless, and we did our best job ripping off the proverbial band-aid for the last time. By the beginning of next test you'll find that most of your possessions have vanished. Here's a list of what to expect. This is, verily, the last test before the reset.

Everyone freak out! Or not. We haven't forgotten everything you've done to help Glitch make the unforgettable, addicting game it is, and there'll be another test (starting next week) before the flood gates open! You'll have Glitch to yourself for a little longer.

What will *you* be doing on the eve of this brave new Ur?

  • Faereluth said it best :) As long as I can hold on to all my lovely friends then I will willingly let the rest go. I am excited to really "pay it forward", as I could not have gotten as far as I have without the help, advice, and gifts from others. Glitch proves that love and kindness do exist <3

  • Cryztal, this is the last test before we get reset, but we'll get to start in the world before the game is launched for non-beta-testers.

  • As I understand it, it's the last test before reset. When the game re-opens, it will still be a closed beta (and hence technically another test), but will not be reset again before "launch".

    I presume "launch" means "allowing the general public in".

  • I think launch really means (1) making it official & (2) making it 24/7. I wouldn't be surprised if they kept it "invite"... but open invite, if that makes sense. At least at first.

    As stated, "launch" is just a milestone, not the finish line.

  • Thanks TS devs, my friends and all fellow glitchens for such a fun and delightful environment and experience.
    I'm looking forward to starting new and seeing what new worlds we can build!!

    See you all on the other side.

  • Yes Kitta you can get in..it hasn't reset yet  ... this test ends today ...ad then  the game resets..with one  last test before launch.

  • I can't get back in though. The unpacking freezes at 96%.

  • One last trip "home" to pet the piggies good-bye and set the chickens free. And drink the last of my hooch.

    I'm glad I got to beta test Glitch. I've never been that much of a gamer, but Glitch totally hooked me. I'm trying to look toward the reset with a zen attitude, but...it's gonna sting just a little :-)

  • Bye Glitchians. Bye piggies. Bye chickens. Bye house. bye well organized bags

    Hello exciting new life.

    I am scared and thrilled at the same time. Like jumping out of an airplane for the first time.
    Posted 15 months ago by Kookaburra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @devs: When the reset happens will we come out of a giant's mind on a starting street just like the first time?
    Posted 15 months ago by BarryW Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Whoa, invite only?! Cool! I like exclusivity.

    Now I have to figure out why I set Mining IV to be learnt...
    Posted 15 months ago by shipwreck Subscriber! | Permalink
  • @BarryW: That's certainly how previous resets have worked.

  • Has anyone asked about the subscription and half price current deals?  Are they ending today as well?

  • Congratulations to all at Tiny Speck!
    Well Done! =)

  • Dear TS team you Rock the ROCK!  

    I've truly enjoyed my time during alpha and beta with a few exceptions and am looking forward to the reset and new/old adventures and friends.
    Posted 15 months ago by MzMunchken Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Gadzooks, the half-priced credit deal will run until the end of beta, as stated here. To be more precise, any credits you buy while we're still in beta will be doubled when Glitch launches.
    Posted 15 months ago by Blanky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Nice! I asked about this in game yesterday but no one seemed quite sure. Good news!

    Thanks, devs! I can safely say this is one of the best, most enjoyable beta tests I have ever taken part in. I'm excited for the future success of Glitch.

  • This has been a great experience and thank you for allowing me to be a part of this.  Will miss my home but also thrilled to know Glitch will be back for good.    Great job and thank you again.

  • Wait a second... There is life outside of Glitch?! O.o Guess I need to get one before the reset then, huh? =)
    Posted 15 months ago by Alpha-girl Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Thank you Tiny Speck and the whole team for all of your hard work to bring us this most amazing game.  I had a blast in beta and am looking forward to the Glitchy future!

  • I have enjoyed being part of this little community, I hope the friendliness continues when we're on the flipside and out in the open.

    I hope the last test starts when I can spend some dedicated time playing (like say...Sunday)

  • Just said goodye to my piggies and set the chickens free. Sad, but I am really looking forward to reset. See you all on the other side!

  • For those of you wondering how exactly your collector's items will make it through to the next test, see the update at the bottom of my notes on the reset. 

    Everything on the floor of your home will be vaporized. Only your trophy case is safe!
    Posted 15 months ago by Blanky Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Ugh, school work is going out the window, once the reset hits, I'm gonna be on here 24/7 attempting to get back to where I am now!
    Posted 15 months ago by Shmoopsy Poo Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I haven't read any of the replies to this thread, but I just need to say I am THRILLED we get a head start getting our shizz back before Glitch is opened to plebeians.
    ...Speaking of, who wants to install a fiefdom in Ur and tell the n00bs that they must work as our serfs? BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA ahem, I mean... I can't wait to be a greeter and help others. Yeah!

  • Main question, will this still work after reset and will MrDawg get a complimentary outfit (and hair) like the professor in this video? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FcUi6UEQh00

  • Thanks for the chance to dip my toes into the beta, looking forward to the next run before launch. Is there any word on how long the wait until the last test will be?

    I'd like to get my little 10k house back and maybe, just maybe get a good way toward a nice big house before launch day. Of course I never saw all the house types so I'm not sure where the best places are!

    Suggestions on a postcard please :-)
    Posted 15 months ago by Storm Subscriber! | Permalink
  • Wow, already here.  It's a little sad, but exciting.  I can't believe it's here so soon.  Thanks TS for such a creative, imaginative, fun, snarky, cute, silly (and most recently spooky) world! It's so exciting that we can soon live in it 24/7.  I'm looking forward to starting over now that I have learned so much.  Especially with all my Glitch friends I have had the pleasure of reconnecting with and/or meeting for the first time.  I'm proud and happy to be a part of the new and ever evolving world of Ur.  Congrats to us all!

  • As Wil Shipley would say, "Oh my paws and whiskers!"

    Can't believe the reset is upon us...

    Thank you so much, Tiny Speck, for creating this game and inadvertently creating our awesome community. I'm so grateful to have had the opportunity to be a beta-tester and interact with y'all. It has truly been a pleasure!!

    See you Glitchez on the flipside ;)

  • In a way, we're all coming back from the dead...so it'd be cool to get some zombie or mummy outfits in the wardrobe to run around the new world in :)

  • Dear TS Staff,
    Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful place. Thank you for allowing me the opportunity to learn and contribute and find new friends without whom my life would be incomplete (seriously).  

    I once said I wondered what would draw me back here after reset. I couldn't see myself being tangled up in starting over. But I was wrong - oh so incredibly wrong. I am here. I am hooked. I have found my online home and I am proudly Glitchen through and through.

    As I said in my review comment: "Beautifully imagined. Incredibly implemented. Painlessly addictive. Awesome fun."

    And I meant that with every fiber of my being. I don't say those words casually or carelessly. I mean that with all my heart. 

    Cheers to you all. Here's to bigger, better and incredibly addicting experiences.

  • What a great community of players we have, from all over the world. It has amazed me how many of them speak English, we in Great Britain are very bad at learning other languages, I have had so much fun helping in this beta. I am quoting this bit, from Augustus: In a way, we're all coming back from the dead...so it'd be cool to get some zombie or mummy outfits in the wardrobe to run around the new world in :)
    Posted 6 hr ago by Augustus. That would be great fun, so tiny speck make us some new clothes, for the launch, also while I am talking about clothes can I have a Red Top Hat to wear.

  • Is beta over? I thought there was one more session.
    Posted 15 months ago by Sierra Subscriber! | Permalink
  • You're right, Sierra--we get one more test before beta is over. We'll be reset by the beginning of that test, though.

  • Blanky, my piggies don't appreciate being vaporized. I told them they were going to live on a nice farm. Now you've made a liar of me! lol.
    Posted 15 months ago by Avery♥ Subscriber! | Permalink
  • I wonder when the actual reset will happen? I am still level 22 and learning my final skill before reset. If they hold off until tomorrow afternoon I will have one more skill to forget at reset.
