As you know, VMK has clutter, scamming, whining, etc. and the VMK staff shouldn't have to take that from players. We aren't babies so we should just be patient. I'm going to get right to the point, VMK's popularity is going to decline dramatically if we don't do something about it. VMK should release EVERY item ever made including pins, clothing, etc. This would cause players to get the items they want and have no worry for scam letters and trading issues. Also, ask yourself, are we really that bad? I understand at a certain point, VMK newbies will not want to buy items so they will scam and trade about it. If VMK does get to a certain point that way, it does bring me to another issue over pricing . This issue has been going around forever. Here is an example: A QUEST KIOSK FOR 30k? Is that a joke? You know how much they say that you have to stay off the computer and all, but when I want something, I work HARD to get it, how can we just stop the computer if the game is so addicting xD. The prices are getting way over high, right? well if that "newbie plot" occurs, VMK staff should make prices go down or even go free. I mean would you rather have more or less players? :confused: duh.. lol.

EDIT: I can see beta not re-releasing for all the player's hard work, but life isn't easy, you give and you keep on giving. It is for VMK, and let's see...how many people own VMK Beta not yet released or green bags and flips? a few out of 10,000 players and the people that have those things aren't going to get angry because they understand EVERYTHING in this post and could adapt to new things. (I was thinking of you, Miss CL_littledragonerin!)

I respect all posts and all opinions so let the constructed criticism BEGIN or if you agree, just say you do and even explain :tg21: ;)

No I do not support you.
I think releasing green flips and green baggy jeans, inferno, etc etc.
Would be very very mean to those players who earned those items.
I dont mean that they should'nt re-release things that are not beta.
The beta should stay beta, FOREVER.
I'm not trying to be mean, but only some things should be released again.
Those whiners, would still be whining.
And, just for the record, when the Quest Engines were out for 30k? I bought 2 of them, easy as pie. The prices should not have to bother anyone.

I agree. New players can get very annoying because they think everyone will just give away their stuff. That can very annoying because, sure you may give them an item or two, but if you dont give them what they want, they try to report you or something. Just realeasing everything( ESPECIALLY BETA!), and getting rid of the entire trade system would be best in my opinion. :) GREAT IDEA!

I know 30K may take, say, a month, but it's still virtual stuff. Your life dosn't have to revolve around it, so I took a break and now VMK is a game when I get bored, not an addiction.

Yes, I did too and I don't go on as much, but I hear about these stories and other things.

Honestly 30k does not take a month to achive.

Way back when i wasn't getting over 7000 in fireworks, i was only getting around 3-4k. And it still only took me a weekend of non stop playing.

So it still does not make your life revolve around it

I'm not talking about just the kiosk, that was an example, you should see how many players Don't stop playing VMK. O.o

Well, it would take a month, 20 minutes a day for me to get 30K

I bought my quest kiosk for 20K, but then they retired it and re-released it at 30K

Honestly, your opinoin of credits earning (20 minutes a day @_@) does NOT mean that everyone only earns credits at a rate of 20 min. a day. Probably most people earn credits for much much much longer than that. Please dont base your opinion on yourself about everyone else.

I do not support you.
Trading for things is part of what makes the game interesting, and some people worked very hard to get the things they have.
No matter what, those "whiners" would still be whining.
They'd say it was too expensive. And, again, still be whining.
No matter how it is, there are always some people that are going to be difficult.

uh easy as pie? i just spent like a week getting 5k for a castle prop. ( now im broke) OFF TOPIC

I disagree. Come on, if VMK rereleases everything again they'll just be begging even more because they won't have enough credits to buy everything they want! they already beg for a 500 credit pin as it is. They need to stop being lazy and play pirates and visit NPCs.

I respect your opinion. Thank You.

i agree 1/2.

beta should stay beta yes
but things like costume clothes should be for sale all the time, like say a costume store. Only because it comes out every year in october.

also, when you try to save up in a month, each week something new comes out that costs 500 credits and you end up wasting most of your money to buy the new things that come out.

I remember saving up to by the quest kiosk when it had cost 20k. when i had 15k it moved to 30k so i gave up and spent my money.

that is my point, we could avoid all of that if we just keep everything on sale.

Not a good idea... If you think the whining is bad without this stuff on sale, if the stuff does go on sale, probably about 3/4 of the people who play VMK would quit... Me being one of them.

The kiosk was sold for half priced once (15,000 not 20,000.) I brought one and I wish vmk would do more half priced things.

I sort of agree with you.

The quest kiosk is the first price. In my opinion, without prizes or anything to trade, unless your quest wins best quest room it is a waste. f you do buy prizes it is just more credits even though it'll become successful. If it was cheaper more people would have quests.

However, I do not think costumes should always be available. Just out for longer if it was only a week longer. Because eventually they would become rare, and not common which would happen if they were always out.

Exactly! last month during halloween someone asked me if i could get them a bat hat so i did come on people stop being so lazy i had to work for it too!

I 100% disagree with you here. You have many great ideas, but this is not on I will side with you on. So many vmk players have spent countless hours getting these items and all of the sudden they're just released like there's no tomorrow? I mean newbies can work for these item just the way we did. I mean why should they get the shortcut? They just have to stop being lazy and work at the game like everyone else.

that is true...that is very true.

Re-releasing every item would destroy the whole trading system. Trading is probably one of the most popular things to do on VMK. Some things should be released more often, yes. But let's not go overboard, nobody spent those long hours of trading for nothing.

I know 30K may take, say, a month, but it's still virtual stuff. Your life dosn't have to revolve around it, so I took a break and now VMK is a game when I get bored, not an addiction.

it only took me two days it aint hard. i agree about most of this.

i kinda of agree
newbies should work as hard as other people to get what they want
vmk should start banning scammers and people who do not listen to vmk values.
it might quit some of the whining

well of course, not everything is going to be destroyed. We are just working up to it. I respect your post.

I don't honestyl think they should release EVERYTHING.
I agree that people have earned things that are extremely rare and they should be able to do with it as they choose.
let people whine, because it shows they are babies.
