Glitch was my first MMO, and I fear nothing will ever live up to it. The last two months of searching has shown me that. Nothing can describe the many ways it spoke to me, made me laugh, and brought me enjoyment. And the people... oh, the people. The players, Stoot, and all the devs are what brought it alive in every way. We all will be glitchen. Forever.
You have done a very special thing here Tiny Speck. And if you need us back, for anything; through the looking-glass and down the rabbit hole, I am ready.
Thank you, TS, for a game that was more than a game for so many of us. I've played video/computer games for many years (yes, I actually owned an Atari 2600 when it first came out), and I have never actually cried and been depressed when a game ended...until now. Glitch was not played, it was experienced. I will miss you all, but will echo the sentiment that we will be Glitchen forever in our hearts. *tears*
I still get teary when I think about this wonderful, beautiful, whimsical, zany experience. I am so glad I had the sense to *finally!* respond to my daughter's invitation *months* after she'd sent it to me. This was my first MMO ever. Probably be my last, unless TS ever does another. I. Love. This. Game. And. All. Of. You. Happy trails wherever you fare. Thank you.
It wouldn't be enough, not even close, I may spend the rest of my life trying to make up for what I received and I plan on living for a good long time yet.

If that's true, Glitch will live forever.
Thank you so much. I don't think it's a stretch to say that the game and everyone who contributed saved my life.
Thank you, Tiny Speck, for convincing me that there were still good people out there after most of my friends and part of my family basically left me due to my depression. Thank you for all the happy times, the witty writing, the amazingly silly jokes, and a home to go to even if I didn't have much of one, thank you for making me feel like I belonged a little when I needed it most.
Nothing else will ever compare. You were the first MMO on the internet that ever made me cry because I couldn't play it anymore, the first to make me laugh out loud so many dozens of times and always, always impress me no matter how many days and hours I played it.
I'm going to miss you all. I hope we all see each other again someday in a game like Glitch's. Until then, good luck, and don't forget the hooch.
Ty TS, Ty The Contrubitors, TY the volunteers, TY the Bacon Worshippers, TY the Onion Rings, TY the freedom, TY the Giants, TY Rube...
All of those things can be put into one word...
Here’s my secret dream.
In 5 years or 10, you might be walking into a west coast bistro. It looks charming from the outside. Inside, it is a bit quirky. You are interested when the maître d' calls you 'madamsir'. You notice a large calligraphy, “O Inferno São Os Outros”. And you feel happy, without quite remembering why.
You are seated in a beautiful chair that seems to be melting. Perhaps you order the Expensive Grilled Cheese or a Cold Taco, with a side of Legumes Abbassidienne, or a bunch of grapes and they reek of sulfur. A seasonal offering is Pumpkin Ale or you could try the Savory Smoothy.

Thank you, TS, for taking the chance to develop a game celebrating abundance and creativity, where the only "win" was "I enjoyed doing that." Thank you for giving us a beautiful, whimsical world to cherish and celebrate. And thank you, fellow glitchen, for playing, for making that world a welcoming place for people who'd never done MMOs before (like me).
I will keep Glitch in my heart forever. In just a couple of months of play, this game changed how I think about online activity, changed how I think about life.
Now I know I'm not alone. We just have to find each other out in the world that doesn't allow us to teleport to each other.
This "game" has been the best experience. The art, music, skills, quests, friends, creators... it goes on and on.
Thank you for creating a wonderful experience I will never forget.
Until the next one... ;)
TY TS, TY Glitchen. Glitch lives on in my heart. I hope, fervently, that the game will reappear some day. Until then it and all of you are in my heart.
Thank you! :> Glitch was finally the MMO I've been looking for (one that didn't require hours of grinding and leveling up but had just the right amount of customization and silliness) and although it's gone now, I'm glad to know that such a game existed period. Even if it doesn't come back, perhaps it will inspire others to think outside of the box and who knows, maybe something similar and zany will show up someday.
Thank you all so much, and I hope you all have a beautiful future because everyone of you deserves it for trying to spread so much joy.
