| |
| − | ==Intro==
| |
| − | First of all, welcome to Glitch, we truly enjoy the game and hope you will too. Some of the things in Glitch may be confusing to new gamers and old gamers alike so we decided to make a page to answer most of the common questions. If you have any questions feel free to post them in the discussion part of this page or ask in the [[Help Channel]] in game, there are always poeple to help.

| |
| − | Glitch is based in a world called Ur which has it's own [[Calendar]] and 4-hour days (real time) it is 6x faster than our time. Ur has been thought up by 11 [[Giant]]s, unfortunatley their imaginations are being attacked by [[The Rook]]

XP are what you get when doing activites or eating a [[Sno Cone]]

| |
| − | [[Skill]]s will give you the ability to use certain tools, do something more efficiently, a new ability or learn other skills better. The Magic Rock learns the skills for you and will tell you when you have finished a skill. Skills can be selected from the "Periodic Table O' Skills" Skill learning can be sped up by either learning [[Better Learning]] or with a little help from a [[Giant]].
