I know many of you long time players of vmk have probably seen this image before, but to people who have not here is a few images that shows what BETA was like, this is not examples of how BETA was but a very early promotion image:

Some people are getting confused with when this picture was released and what time in vmk does it display, i can confirm this is not BETA. I can confirm this is some time around PRE-ALPHA and ALPHA, here is a site to help with these times:

weird. i dont recall that image....
look at the friend list 0_o

Oh wow...some of those graphics look so different! What's with the Red Rocker? It is bigger than the players! And those look like the pins we have now, only I see a Mickey Ear shaped one.

Wow I forgot how cool it all looked

Hope you all enjoy this :) I sure did some more concept images will appear in a moment!

where did you get this??

some stuff we dont have:
the friends list
the blue poster in the mansion room
Circle micky pin ( staff only )
Giand Red rocker
Giand Magenta organ


the other thing i see is in the last pic to the left at the bottom

is that a game room i see
@_@

Yes its the old potc. The pin setup was how it used to look (8 pins i believe?)
and that other stuff is probably computer drawings of what VMK was going to look like, this must be promotional advertising before public beta was released ;-)

I was going to say....I couldn't imagine VMK looking like that, with all those graphics and stuff. The color was weird, too.

Wow, look how funny the tea cup at the top right looks! the saucer is HUGE compared to the cup!!

the other thing i see is in the last pic to the left at the bottom

is that a game room i see
@_@

no it is the old pirates of the Caribbean game before it was changed to what it is now. level 2 i think that was

I can confirm the bottom left image is pirates game level 2 where whirlpools and pirate death mark was added!

I don't see a picture

I don't see a picture

Let it load it will load soon ;)

If only they kept it like this. We should send this to VMK requesting they make these enhancements.. again :D

i really like the monarail station

Hhahaha that would be cool, would you really like a VERY buggy vmk?

Well, of course they would need to tweak some things, but i wish they still had rooms like that :D

Wow it looked so cool! I wish I hadn't missed Beta...

It sure does look good :)

Look at the monarail, it has sorta a train thingy at the top. Also the lines at the monarail. As well the alladain carpet (spelled wrong i know) and dark scary tree! The friend list looks awfully similar to one that somebody posted forgot who was though. And what's that room on the bottom right corner? And thought VMK would be ending soon?! There is way much more to come!

Then there was that one with the Stitch Teleporters that had a platform under it. I can't find it though.

OMG, I remember playing the Pirate beta game. I miss the old verson.

OH Sweet find!! I love looking at beta stuff

It's what VMK was going to be like, not exactly what it was like. Beta was not also as good as people say, face it guys, we know what VMK are like. There are still bugs and glitches that people find, and taken and baby stuff will always be there.
It's an image of what the producers wanted the game to look like. If you want to see more concept art and actual beta images, visit the page I created a while back on the wiki (http://www.disneysonlineworlds.com/index.php/Visual_History#Past_Images_of_VMK).

Thats correct i tried to talk my way around saying it was not actual beta, i can say it could be Alpha period, this is the development stage before BETA!

Thanks for the link!

But imagine if all this stuff actually happened on Vmk wouldn't it be kewl?

Most of it did.. :) Just vmk has developed since then! ALOT!

Wow . . 0_o

So, who was allowed to join the Alpha stage? That was before Beta, could everyone join Alpha?

And it says the new Pirates lobby opened on October 2, 2006. That is about a year ago! I thought the Pirates lobby (the new one) has been around longer.

a few ?s
1. what is the thing on the top of the monorail? lol its like an engine!
2. what is the thing thats up in the castle gardens pic?
a few comments
1.wow!
2.I look at the pics as normal but if u take a good look at ones like the main street scene, it is Really REALLY different! i mean look near the area were vmk central is! its pinkins like another store!
3.I miss the old pirates game it was easy to beat and if i remember correctly, you could play with any ammt of players and the game would add the Ais
4.all the colors are SO vibrant and vivid! the glow in the gardens is more..glowy!
5.i like that monorail station it has tables and chairs and loading areas were u can wait in likes with the guard gates on the sides.

that should be it i really like that graphic good job finding that :) keep hunting

happy halloween to all and to all a good Fright!

i remeber those beta days before i got banned for so long my account got deleted ( dont ask ). those were the days when you could have so much fun in the spell room grab some powder and get in that orange queue. " Ah . . Those Were The DAYS! "

Alpha stage i guess was the developers and staff members trial to see if everyhting is alright before public release i guess..

Woooo.. why did vmk change it? it looks pretty sweet...

and ya, the new pirates lobby started in june o_o!

Heh, I actually like the images on the promotion for VMK back then. I wish VMK had those in the game, lol.

I have seen that image on some persons website before, so its nothing new

Umm did the characters really look like that?
I mean in a way it looks different..
The way there standing looks funny

Well as we can see the same people are being used over and over again in a number of the shots. I am sure that there gifs being placed on a background. These characters are even used on the cards that used to be given out at the parks.

People in beta did not look like this and the clothes were not avalible.. Some of the NPC's located near the Yeti look just like these people..

Hmm I actually saw this picture a while back before and I was wondering they still have it? Pretty interesting on how the rooms look like back then. Must be pretty beta cool :)

I miss the spell room and discovery island!
>_<

That image has been seen many many times in the past two years. It's not an actual beta picture from VMK. It is just concept done by the VMK team.

Sorry if i sound rude Ink but... I have explained to many people in this thread and many people have told me.. that its a concept pictures.. it was a mistake to put BETA in the title.. im sorry..

I like this picture it shows a lot of cool stuff we havent seen. There is also another beta picture with like Silver stuff, that one is really cool

Yes that picture is featured on the wiki that is actual BETA images this is ALPHA

The friends list is cool.. and I really like how the monorail looks..

Oh.. it's fun to remember how VMK used to be!!

May i just say half of these things never featured in the beta game..

maybe they meant by how the picture looks maybe? (sorry if Im confusing)

but also those were concept art drawings and not real game playing pictures ;)

That's pretty cool! It would be strange wearing an odd number of pins on VMK. I like the friend list :)

Yes just think they have done a good job seems these are concept images..

Wow, those pictures look better than what VMK looks like now

aww. i wish i played vmk during beta days :(

I am glad alot of you enjoyed these images, im suprised alot of you wished you either played at that time or wish it was how vmk could of been today!
