View Full Version : The loss of magic on VMK

I know there may be threads like this, but this one's different F.Y.I.

When VMK was newer, it seemed to be 'magical'. More fun perhaps. Now, with new changes and updates, it seems to have lost the magic almost completely.

Instead of commenting on this, I've decided to start a thread with reforms, that if made, could make VMK more 'magical'. They don't have to be realistic.

This isn't exactly a 'what would you add' thread. Its 'what would you add. change, or bring back'. I'll go first:

I think VMK needs to make the Jungle Cruise game more profitable instead of 20 credits a game. This way, there would be more games to choose from, raising the 'magical factor'. Your turn!

OMG i totally agree with you! I don't think its fair the same couple of people who are sooo good at Jungle Cruise are the only ones who benefit from the bonus of 750 credits you get from being on the High Score List! I think that game should be like the others, more credits for a better score that way everyone benefits! :turkeydanceani:

i think flying carpet should come out, adding to the fantasy and magical factor.

I think they should bring back the old fireworks mini-game. More people seem to have enjoyed it than the new one ;)

Well the title you chose for this thread doesn't seem any different then any other complaint about VMK thread so that's what I was assuming. But anyway like my friend once said, " VMK is what you make of it," which is totally true. I have been playing since 05and I still enjoy it and still feel the magic.

I thought the Jungle Cruise gives out 25 credits.
Well I think VMK Staff have been adding too much,and they need to take that away.
I think we should get the old fireworks, and all the pins they said they'd released
like last year. For example: Flying Carpet, that other driving magic, and I've heard some people can't get Cursing storm like way back in the beta where VMK change the BlingBling! code to Cursed Storm so they couldn't get it.

Agreed.
I think they should take away the LAG that would make it SO much more magical ;)

I think they should take away the New loading screens. That way the game would go a lot faster. I also agree with what GVErin12 says: the Spell Room and Treasure Island should stay.

TRULY I WOULD NOT SAY VMK HAS "LOST ITS MAGIC" VMK MODERATERS ARE JUST TRYING TO MAKE IT MORE FUN FOR US SO IF YOU THINK ABOUT IT REALLY NO MAGIC HAS BEEN LOST..........VMK IS STILL JUST AS "MAGICAL" THERE ARE JUST NEW ADVANCEMENTS COMING OUT THATS ALL!!! :137::pork:

The loading screens wouldn't have an effect on how fast the game goes for the game as a whole. Slowness in the game is partly your own internet connection fault- not loading screens.

About the Spell Room and Treasure Island areas. Those were actually just promotional rooms for the trying magic and the Kelloggs tie-in with VMK. The rooms were taken out way after those promotional dates expired (At least for the Kelloggs), so we were actually lucky enough to have it there longer ;)



- I've been playing VMK since beta, and have been any active member since then. I have not missed playing VMK for more than a week at a time. There is truly nothing I'd change and I think the problem is that people are trying to compare VMK now to what VMK was in the past. They are not even close to being the same, so I wouldnt try and compare. Look forward to the future, not to the past.

The point I'm trying to make is that we are looking to the future in some ways. Maybe the future means a revival of the past. Look it up in history, it happens :-)

You are right though. VMK will never be the same. The staff's probably not going to remove the loading screen or bring back beta pirates. They might offer it, though, if its what the players want. Without us, there is no them.

I quit because of that. I remember the first time I scored 240, 000 at fireworks. I was overecstatic. Then I remember getting like 15 5* magic and it was fun..VMK is still fun playing pirates though.

I'd like to find out who started this whole "VMK has lost it's magic..." Who thought of that? Now that is everyone's top reason for leaving VMK. Everyone uses it. VMK is more fun to different people. When new people join, they find VMK so much fun. When people who have played since beta get bored, they blame it on "VMK is losing it's magic." No, it's called "You are getting bored of VMK."

VMK should bring back the good times like the spell room bc people can hardly get magic anymore without breaking the bank. They should also realese magic at 1,ooo credits again like they did in 05' and 04'.

I do remember the spell room - After you had visited 2-3 times it was a boring room to be in.
Though you must remember more than I - 1000 credit magic in '04 must be before my time.

i think they should bring the old monorail back bc the old one was WAY better

And i think that they should fix the lag in the street music party place.. bc i used to go in there ALL the time! and i got dc.. but not after being in there for about 10 seconds!

and yeah.. with the jungle cruise thing.. i play for like ever! but i only get 20 credits... that game isn't very fun anyway... i think they should try to make it better or give us more credits... or maybe i just dont like that game?.. LOL idk it's just not fun or exiting like pirates and fireworks is!

Beta times were the best ( except for bugs... ). The game lured me in with all the cool stuff you could do. Now it's pushing me away because everybody's not following the VMK Values and I keep losing even my best friends because I haven't been on VMK in a long time...:( I almost feel like I might quit...

('(ll)') lol i like that beautiful Look out! its the spider pig!! ok anywho yeah everyone agrees that the spell room and treasure island were Great!

and i miss the hidden mickey quest! thats not as popular and we need it back! they should make a "Hidden Mickey Quest part III"

And..uh..thinking..thinking...i loved the old pirate game with the grid! it was so bright and happy, not like the one today! all dark and infested with Krakens. i didnt get booted out in the beginning like i do now.

ok i'm trough and i agree with ALL of u, vmk has lost some of it's touch and we are all mourning the loss.

Here are my lists of what VMK should add, bring back, and change. Also an explanation why.

~ Additions VMK Should Make ~

~ More Rooms In New Orleans
- We need more rooms in New Orleans. I know VMK just opened at the beginning of the year but it will be it's 1st anniversary of it on Tuesday, January 8th, 2007. VMK players are getting kinda bored with those rooms you know. Don't you?

~ New Magic
- Are you tired of the magic we have now? We might get a new magic for the New Years but we don't know. Magic they should add are Desire Magic, Bluebell Dancing Inferno, and Turn Into Flying Elephant Magic. Desire Magic can be a type of magic that you get to type in a wish to VMK and there would be a chance it might come true. Only can be a prize in a host event in a quest or major prize. Bluebell Dancing Inferno is inferno only blue and cold. And I'm a big Dumbo fan so we should have that transformation magic.

~ NPC In Tomorrowland
- They should have an NPC in Tomorrowland. It could be named, Lt. Robert Snakeskin. (He can be a reptile LOL)

~ More Holiday Features In Other Lands
- Instead of Halloween and Christmas decorations being in Main Street, they should have them somewhere else. A good place for Christmas should be the whole castle in Fantasyland.

~ New Holiday Features
- VMK should add new features like Valentine's or St. Patrick's or any other holidays.

Brought Back and Changes lists will come later in a future comment!

Have a nice day, Elf

haha! vmk has only lost its magic is because the people. Not the game, the game is doing fine. It's the players, they are wanting rare to scam. Rare is what lost vmks magic, not itself.

VMK didn't come out in '04

I would personally prefer if they actually banned for taken, as it is unacceptable for children to play in circumstances like that.

I think that they should not have certain months. Just release new things whenever. The months causes greedy people to complain if items are not released.

The only thing I would really like changed is that I would like for reports to be taken seriously, instead of just telling the person to ignore it.

They should have a rpg zone and another Beta test and make new VMK like VMK 2.0

They should do that. It would be cooler.

~ What VMK Should Bring Back ~

~ HOST Pins of the Month's Theme
- HOSTs have not been giving us pins anymore matching the theme of the month. June was the last month they did. Maybe TikiT needs to work harder or he's busy. But should it have to take long? People need them back!

~ No Bans To State Opinions
- Have you ever stated your opinion but got banned? I got a warning for it. They shouldn't ban people to state their opinion. If you were to show this list to VMK, they would ban you. When I started VMK late May '06, they didn't care. But now, they do.

~ More "Yavn Speaks" Articles
- Yavn has been busy a lot lately, but why such the time? He should try giving every an article every two weeks or at least try.

Changes list coming soon ~ Elf

VMK would be more magical if they brought back, at least, the paying system of the old fireworks. I'm tired of getting less than 200 credits per game when I used to get around 1,000.
