children of ur

it seems like a lifetime ago that the game glitch closed.

there are two projects trying to bring it back, one of which is only open to a special clique of elite people (seriously. to get in you had to audition and make yourself shiny in some forums to prove how much fun you'd be.) and the other is open to anybody regardless of whether or not you played the original.

it has a lot of the game's original functionality, but not all. subways don't work at all, and there are no houses. some of the items work, but differently.

still, you can go back into a pretty good facsimile of Ur, and wander around on the landscape petting trees and squeezing chickens and enjoy the lovely soundscape.

if you never knew the original, you would hardly notice anything missing. it feels pretty close to being home.

i'm mentioning it now because some of you out there might enjoy wandering around for a while in an alternate world where there's pretty scenery and nice music and the best way to get ahead is by being kind.

do yourself a favor.

try it out.

How do you walk there, flask? I can't get my avatar to walk, and it also says 'not safe' and my virus protection said an attack had been detected.

i use arrows. next time i'm in i'll have to try wasd.

space bar for jump, and triple jump works too.

i can't answer for attack warnings; i sign in with google and there's some kind of thingy you can do if you played glitch to make your CoU toon match your glitch toon.

Thanks flask, that worked! I did get my old Silvery avatar back just by signing in with that name, so that's lovely.
Thanks for the tips; I'm also following Eleven, but that doesn't seem to be progressing very fast... And now I'm going for a walk in Ur, thanks to you!
