View Full Version : New updates to VMK, Thumbs Up or Down?
Arden 04-03-2007, 11:04 PM Hello VMKsters!
I just wanted to start another thread about all of the updates that VMK has come up with. What are ya'lls view? Like them, hate them? And if either, why? Please still be considerate with your critics and don't go overboard please. :D Feel free to post.
Thanks guys!

Tink's Fireworks 04-03-2007, 11:18 PM I LOVE THE NEW RIDES!! I'm OK with the title appearing when you move your mouse over them gets kinda annoying ;)
~Tink :figment:
Mizz.V 04-03-2007, 11:27 PM Omg!!! I Think The Stuff Is So Cool!!! The Name Thing With The Rides! Ahhhh!!!! I Love Love Love It!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SuperBillyHill 04-03-2007, 11:30 PM I like the rides, but I wish there was some other way to get the single use magic for sword in the stone tries. I like the room options. I like the guests can move a item option but the item should default back to not moveable after you put it back in your inventory and it doesn't now. I don't care for the bubbles with a players name that pops up when you mouse over them and I don't care for the new way the generators spin.
adisonfire 04-03-2007, 11:33 PM I love the new rides but hate the fact that you only get the magic pin once in a blue moon...then you might get a Mad Hatter pin if you are double lucky! The title's that appear when your arrow scrolls over the character is so coolio!
BTW...See you in VMK Land Belle! Hugs, dis

SuperBillyHill 04-03-2007, 11:36 PM Oh and I also wish there was a option on the - allow guests to move a item - list that only allowed the guests to rotate the item and not move it around.
Jezibabe 04-03-2007, 11:38 PM Sorry, but I hate the way the names pop up when your cursor goes over it. It is very distracting and annoying. As someone said in another thread, wish there was a way to disable that feature :(
Arden 04-03-2007, 11:38 PM Yes, I agree Super.
Maybe you should send it in to the newsletter. ;)
futuremartymcfly 04-03-2007, 11:39 PM I think everything so far's been great. Whats even more impressive is the lack of extra lag. VMK is still running perfectly normal on my computer, something that doesn't happen with new additions.
Arden 04-03-2007, 11:40 PM Well, you seem to be the lucky one future. I am having more lag than ever and that is a big problem for me. Also I am crashing easier, but that myay be do to my having VMK Pal. But I can't say for sure.
maybe*=myay be
me*=my
libertyswimmr 04-03-2007, 11:44 PM yup its a lot slower O_o
i dont care for the names popping up
wish you could get the magic and pins easier or in another way
rides are pretty awesome though
Arden 04-03-2007, 11:48 PM Yes, I agree. :D
gabyta 04-03-2007, 11:52 PM Thumbs up!!! I love the new rides.. the rooms, the music, the possibility that guests can move your furniture.
Arden 04-03-2007, 11:53 PM Ah yes, I enjoy the furniture ability as well. I only wish that you could control it better, or set limits to it, you know?
My opinion about the updates is this.
I like the new dark rides and ride pieces because it gives more of an illusion of actually a ride and it is similar to the in-park ones. It also gives VMKsters a chance at a new ride-a-thon and new items. :D The hairstyles for girls I could do without though. I am very excited in seeing what all VMK staff releases this month. And I know most everyone is as well. The room furniture
ability is quiet nice as well. However, I do have some negative comments about the updates. For one, the rides are causing me to have more lag and easier crashes. Also, the furnish moving ability should be able to be controlled by the room owner in my opinion or at least have more player-controlled limits. :D
Also, there should be a Peter Pan magic pin in my opinion, like a pixie fairy dust flying pin or something. I can only hope. -sigh-
The new magic pins you can obtain from the new Dark Rides should be more than a one use pin, because it spoils the whole point of having it.
These are my opinions.
Feel free to agree, disagree, comment, critic, or contradict. :D

:ccat:
Ok so does anyone agree with my views? Did I leave out something?
You don't have to go into detail. You can just say: yay or nay :)
April 04-04-2007, 02:06 AM I somewhat like the updates. The rides are nice and all, but sometimes can really lag my computer if I'm trying to multi-task (pm someone here while riding). I also am one that doesn't like the name popping up. I am used to clicking on people. I'm kind of so-so for the updates. I personally thought VMK was fine for a while, but yeah. =3
aengus 04-04-2007, 02:08 AM Love all of the updates. I wouldnt mind finally getting a sword in the stone magic pin LOL but I think all the additions are incredible!
puchisana 04-04-2007, 02:12 AM Me i like that how about that in ride a thon we win the dark ride up and down?
It will be all week
3 days u get up
3 days u get down
the middle day u get both
abbycatkid 04-04-2007, 02:12 AM THUMBS UP! The rides can be a little slow, but they are cool! :) :bunny1:
Arden 04-04-2007, 02:22 AM Hmm.. interesting.
And what about the new dictionary restrictions. What are ya'lls view on that?
sunday_monkey 04-04-2007, 02:35 AM I really love the new rides. I can't imagine all the hard work that must have gone into making them! So much attention to detail! It's fun to see people going on them for the first time and "hearing" all the oohs and ahhs. People seem to be really impressed.
I don't mind that the sword magic is so random. I've gotten it a few times, but haven't won. Of course I'd like to win the teacup pin, but I think if they made it super easy to get some of the fun would be taken away from it. I wonder how often they are going to update the prize?
All the other updates seem fine to me too. I do find the name thing a bit annoying now, but I think it's just because I'm not use to it. I'm sure once it's been around for a while I won't mind it, and I can see how it can actually come in pretty handy.
abbycatkid 04-04-2007, 02:51 AM Rides, pins, Sword in the Stone, hovering names, trade window, and clear button thumbs up.
Let guests move items, thumbs down.
Lol, I saw you in that arrange a room game, which was a very unique game, where we..... waited......................and did nothing.
KEBSD 04-04-2007, 02:56 AM After riding each ride about 25 times, I get the sword in the stone pin to find that I'm not strong enough to pull out the sword :]
Yeah, the new rides are cool, but the sword in the stone pin is frustrating.
~Key
Princessweelow 04-04-2007, 02:58 AM i love the rides wish they were free. the names dont show only the bubbles lol but vmk is getting slower bc everybody waiting for the rides is that going to be a prob.?????? i think so
Neoteny 04-04-2007, 12:43 PM Thumbs up on everything except the missing punctuation. Give us back our periods!
disneyzoodude 04-04-2007, 01:26 PM Thumbs up! I love all of the new updates.
Marysol 04-04-2007, 02:52 PM I love the rides, thery're amazing!
I like the moving feature this means new game ideas! We need a change!
I like the new trade window becuase it doesnt say,"Marysol has Addded/Removed _______." Anymore, and you'll wont need to scroll up if somone said anything and you missed it becuase of all thoes un-nessary words.
But I HATE The way the Generators spin now! Its Confussing and whats the point or 7-9 if you cant spin them??
I also absolutley hate the scroll over person and see their name. Me and my friends play hide and seek alot we do this all over VMK. Now its easy to find us, and Snow Whites Hide N Seek Forest is now POINTLESS! D:
mrmyth 04-04-2007, 03:32 PM Me and my friends play hide and seek alot we do this all over VMK. Now its easy to find us, and Snow Whites Hide N Seek Forest is now POINTLESS! D:
Good Point.
I do not like the pop up titles for two reasons.
1. I do find it distracting.
2. It used to be to see who someone was you clicked on them. By doing this you saw their pins,signature and got an idea of who they might be,(or at least a snap opinion). Now with the pass by and get instant title I think a lot less will be noticing anything but friends they were looking for/room owners/or who they were stalking.
Eviie 04-04-2007, 03:53 PM Thumbs up on everything except the missing punctuation. Give us back our periods!
Yes i know. I'm very very MAD about that new addition or i don't know an un-addition lol . Don't know how to say that. Wow i better get back to reading a dictionary or something..
SuperBillyHill 04-04-2007, 04:20 PM I think - omission - is the word you want. ;)
Neoteny 04-04-2007, 04:34 PM Yes i know. I'm very very MAD about that new addition or i don't know an un-addition lol . Don't know how to say that. Wow i better get back to reading a dictionary or something..
Subtraction.
abbycatkid 04-04-2007, 09:55 PM Thumbs up on everything except the missing punctuation. Give us back our periods!
I know, I have a habit of typing: .. all the type!!! When I can't type a period even to end a sentence, I feel so.. improper with my grammar! (See? I did it again - after "so!")
Neoteny 04-04-2007, 10:04 PM I also absolutley hate the scroll over person and see their name. Me and my friends play hide and seek alot we do this all over VMK. Now its easy to find us, and Snow Whites Hide N Seek Forest is now POINTLESS! D:
I hadn't thought of that. Good point.
Brer_Nick 04-04-2007, 10:07 PM I've been asking for ridable rides since beta, you decide whether I'm thumbs up or down
Arden 04-04-2007, 10:12 PM Ah, I enjoyed all of your comments.
And I agree :)
What do you think VMK will come out with next?
abbycatkid 04-05-2007, 10:00 PM I also absolutley hate the scroll over person and see their name. Me and my friends play hide and seek alot we do this all over VMK. Now its easy to find us, and Snow Whites Hide N Seek Forest is now POINTLESS! D:
Can you still see the name if you are hiding behind a tree?
mynamegorgina 04-06-2007, 11:51 PM Umm... let's see.
THUMBS UP... except for maybe the alice hair for the girls. it should come in more colors. =]]
YAY! the periods are back!!! i missed them so much. why did they take them away in the first place?
Arden 04-08-2007, 06:41 AM Yes, the hair is scary...
Neoteny 04-08-2007, 08:10 AM Thumbs down on the slim chance of winning Lumiere and no chance of winning anything good (like, oh, say, a Mad Tea Party Pin?) from the Sword in the Stone.
PolarFish 04-08-2007, 10:20 AM Thumbs up to it all
Arden 04-14-2007, 07:29 AM BUMPING! :wave2:
Fairies Exist.
Believe in what you can't always see, that is why its called MAGIC.
Your magical woodlen fairy,
:wand2: Arden
BadgerHockey 04-14-2007, 07:36 AM Sorry, but I hate the way the names pop up when your cursor goes over it. It is very distracting and annoying. As someone said in another thread, wish there was a way to disable that feature :(
I totally agree! They are EXTREMELY distracting, and pop up when I'm trying to click that space on the floor. I wish there was a disable feature. :( [Like with the trade requests]
Other than that, the rest of the updates rock!
:Tongue:
Emcat 04-18-2007, 08:56 PM I love the new rides.
~Emcat
Joshua 04-18-2007, 09:00 PM I'm okay with them. I just give a thumbs down for thw way they are releasing the ride pieces to us.
JessCats 04-18-2007, 11:08 PM The updates are ok, but not the best.
DisneyRoxy 04-20-2007, 12:52 AM Hey Everyone
I dont like it that you waste about..hmm 500 credits on dark rides and then you get a magic sword pin and you use it and you dont get nothing. I wish you could just be a maxinmon time for you to get a pin so you dont have to waste alot of money. Just like pirates and the magic treasure pins.
Neoteny 04-20-2007, 04:04 AM Hey Everyone

I don't know: Seems like I've been opening a lot more empty treasure chests lately, too.
Pixie_Jess 04-20-2007, 04:27 AM I like SOME of the new addisions (cant spell) but now I cant play any of my mixes (eather on the street or the monorail) because I crash before I get to the queu, so there go those credits every hour. But now I an able to log in alot faster... that's always good. The rides rock!!! Luckyly I was able to get my sword pin and Tea Party Pin all in my 3rd ride (I was one of the lucky ones) but other than that... it's all kewl. (Love the new hair.. very kewl) ^_^
GraspingClaw 04-20-2007, 07:40 AM I don't know: Seems like I've been opening a lot more empty treasure chests lately, too.
Empty chests are a bummer, but the "random" award system associated with Pirates is leagues better than the Fantasyland system. First of all, you don't have to pay to open chests (because if you're winning keys, you're earning credits) and second of all, the keys are given for playing a fun game that constantly changes due to player interaction. Who's bright idea was it to charge players to sit through the same ride over and over again, offering them a slight chance that they might earn a magic pin that might get them a decent prize, instead of common furniture? No better way to ruin your new build, VMK.
black33 04-20-2007, 01:27 PM I don't know: Seems like I've been opening a lot more empty treasure chests lately, too.
This is odd, because I've opened level two chests 3 times.. and they were empty every time.. but i opened level 3 and 1 and I got stuff from them.. at least i've gotten Davey Jones Magic once.. I don't mind getting empty chests after that..
SemmaSweetie 04-20-2007, 01:59 PM My personal favorite new feature has to be the ' clear room ' button :D
Although i do could wit out it taking away the photos along with it...
The rides are pretty Kewl, but as many of ya said...i too would like it bettr if there was a different way to get the tea party pin :P
The only thing that annoys me about letting ppl, guests, to move your items is... as the owner you have to make the option available, and by the time you finish with letting everyone move everything, after they finish helping ya, You have to take the option off again 0_o, That annoys me :(
But besides a few minor dislikes id give the new things a ThUmBs Up!
Neoteny 04-20-2007, 03:02 PM This is odd, because I've opened level two chests 3 times.. and they were empty every time.. but i opened level 3 and 1 and I got stuff from them.. at least i've gotten Davey Jones Magic once.. I don't mind getting empty chests after that..
Oh, yeah, I usually stick to playing level two games just to avoid the dreaded Turn into Coral Magic.
Extras 04-20-2007, 03:08 PM Thumbs Down! Down with Fireworks pfft.
Arden 05-05-2007, 06:54 PM Bump!
Lets get this post back up!
Arden 05-13-2007, 06:57 AM Daily Bump :wave2:
Neoteny 05-24-2007, 09:06 AM I give a big "thumbs down" to the new "no quests at Disneyland" update.
