Yeah, it's difficult. Although I've tried many of these other games, I don't like any of them. They're just not for me. My people are for me, though, so it's kind of painful! I'd like to game with buddies, or simply chat with them, or read their status updates... But, I've gotta enjoy the experience in between the chats, too. And, on top of that, I've got about five options to choose from right now. :/

Yeah, five average to good options are nothing like one awesome piece of perfection. *sigh*

True, but in comparison, it was pretty damn close! I have been noticing lately how many standard game mechanics were done better in Glitch than in anything else I've played, especially chat!
I think I'll lay off trying to find a replacement for a while. I don't really have the time to game properly at this point between working and trying to rebuild my own business (in order to not have to work!) anyway. I agree with Carl that the drive to find another game to play was to reconnect with the community I came to so dearly love here... and if the game itself is sub-par, so will be the community. I can stick with my silly desktop game for mindlessness in the interim. (I got hooked on www.games.com/game/oberon-m... enough to buy and download it before I found Glitch, and it keeps me busy still when I feel like just messing around). (Side note to that, if anyone pursues even the free version -- my BF told me just a couple nights ago that when a couple of the female characters get all uppity looking during play, it reminds him of my Glitch on purple. I laughed, then cried.)
Okay, you realize I'm going to have to check that one out now (drat it!). You might want to consider Mage Faire, if only temporarily, as they have opened their forums. There are a couple of active Glitch-player threads already.
