And maybe I can get some TeamLiquid.net'ians to become some Glitches
FAQ:
What is Glitch? Glitch is a browser based MMO(RP) game. Because of the "browser based" it's completely in 2D ... hm, maybe 2.5D! It's currently back to Beta (it was beta, then got "gold/live" ... then it got back to beta ).
Beta? How can I play? I have three invites for you. And as I see it, every new player gets these three invites, so we can spread them around! Just send me a PM with your email address!.
What is it all about The usual stuff: Petting pigs, hugging crabs, planking other players, cooking meals and imagining about your life!
??? Basically you just run around the country and do whatever you want! Try to cook better meals, mine more minerals, build a house, etc. Sounds crazy to boring, but it has a minecraft'esque flair that will hook you!
Is there more to the back-story? Yes there is: The world is built by 11 giants, but the world is constantly attacked by "The Rook"! The Rook wants to kill the trees and animals and all the giants created. But we player can fight back by "Martial Imagination"! In the other direction there are project constructing new streets and places to go to. Currently - beta - it's quite on hold, but there is enough to explore! But you will be able to construct the world by yourself!
Ok, bottom line: Why should I play it? The "subtitle" of the game is "A game of giant imagination" (see the Martial Imagination?). So you can imagine your world, as you want it and play like you want to. Besides: Can a game be wrong, if you can get Achievements (yes there are!) like "Thrash Metallurgist", "Trans-Rational Meat Aficionado", "Not-So-Grim Reaper" or "Darwin Award Winner"
Anything else I should know? There are big changes around the corner, where i.e. you will be able to "construct" your house purely in your "imagination" like you want it, the level system will be dropped and the game will evolve more around the players action! Help getting it done right by joining today!
Wait a second: What do I have to pay for that? We are in Beta, but I think the current system is "final": You don't have to pay anything for the game-play. Paying money will allow you to buy new hats, clothes and - maybe most important - if you subscribe, you get "votes", what the developers should do next! (If you don't pay, you get, what you get) There is minimal influence of paying customers to free players. So you don't get a real edge by paying money (but I will not stop you, if you want to!).
At first I got the impression that it was a sandbox type game like Haven & Hearth, but after watching the trailer... looks a bit too cutesy! I'm guessing it's not open pvp with full loot and permadeath?

It reminds me of Little Big World or whatever. Can't say I'm really all that interested. The little song that tries to explain what the game is about just got stuck in my head and I don't like it >
The game is everything and nothing :D Actually I think my description is as far as I can go But nobody could tell me, what minecraft is all about and millions are playing it...
All my invites are out!
Sorry WTFZerg (no email ) and TubbyIsAwesome (too late). Maybe someone that got one will share!
Signed up with my email but knowing my luck probably will not get an invite :p If someone has one please pm me if i get some invites myself will give them away in this thread. Love this sandbox games.
I'm getting the hang of it but need some help! I took cooking, but I can't get hold of most of the ingredients. Where can I turn flour into bread, and where can I get salt from? >.<"

There is no "I took cooking". You can ""focus" on something, but eventually you can learn and do everything! Flour: Squeeze chickens for grain Change grain to flour with "Knife and Board"
Salt: Harvest Spice trees (there are many in Ix) Change them with a "Spice Mill"!
Maybe you need some skills to do so! If you can create the items, you see it in the creation window! You need quite a few items to create everything I have two bags full of stuff just for creating and changing!

Sweet I got as far as Flour and a Frying Pan, just keep getting quests to make all this stuff which I can't yet make!!! I'll have a look for spice trees.
