acro, obviously
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.)

And Glitch wasn't even perfection. It was just the ever enticing promise of it!

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!

Indeed! I really think that every game critic on the net should compile a list of the best attributes that Glitch presented, including the attitude of the devs and staff, and post them on their websites as a set of commandments for future game designers. Of course, the only way that's going to happen is if one game does all those things and is not only successful but dominates the market. Until then, it's up to us players to keep whining! It is, in fact, our moral imperative.

Well, and it could be argued that the promise of being better is part of perfection!

Yeah, I loved all the quirks too, and the hiccups! It was only the occasionally atrocious lag that kept it from being perfection.
