Glitches of Ur

I spent most of today playing Glitch for the last day of the game. I had the Dreamwidth chat open and helped some folks finish quests and get cooperative badges. It was really fun. I also got one new quest involving the desert bandits, which the DW folks helped me finish very quickly. I donated to shrines, earning several more emblems which I gave away. I bought a few expensive artifacts and we passed them around for the IMG points.

During the final days of the game I gave away a lot of money and sold furniture off cheaply. I made all the new recipes which I really enjoyed, and explored the new lands. The vortex of Random was especially cool. I made a point of checking out the basement seam streets.

At the very end, I went back to Grimmsea bottom, which was where my very first house was. I found a caiyotite necklace (a rare item) just lying there on the street, among heaps of stuff that people had discarded. I passed it around among a couple of strangers. then I went and hid inside Grimmsea Hollow, which is a big tree, and is cozy. Two other Glitchen were in there with me. The giants made several announcements. The "Goodnight Glitchen" song played at the end, then the server shut down and the screen went to black and white.

Here are my final stats:
Level: 41
Currants: 383,884 (this is after giving hundreds of thousands away!)
IMG: 3,793,603
earned all skills

Some badges that were particularly time-consuming were making 253 storage display boxes, and seasoning 503 beans.

I loved so many things about this game, including the absurd sense of humor, the cooperative spirit, the art and music design, and hanging out with my friends in-game.

I will miss you Glitch!!!!!
