I'm sure it's from meeting the staff. But honestly, that's a little rude to make a pin of yourself when you produce a game, play for two months, than disappear. I'll sharpen my darts...

Wait? So to celebrate closing, we get a pin of a guy who seems to care nothing about our eMails and concerns, and because he thinks he's "all that" he makes a pin of himself thinking we'll forget about VMK closing. Thats lame. Seriously.

I would buy a Hula or Lily pin before this........ they deserve their own pin. They are in VMK everyday - when was the last time prior to this that Yavn was in VMK???

05-21-2008, 06:28 AM
You all realize the Yavn Pin was going to be a Limited Edition Prize from the VMK Trading game right?
I hope so, don't think VMK just made it now and released it.

Also, the Minnie Special Pin was on the VMK Item Coding Site the day VMK released the Mickey Special Pin.

Like the Poll they got going now, what should Yavn do now... Notice Get back to work wasn't an option, or keep VMK going... Vacation!? seems he's been on vacation since the fall. And now the Yavn pin! Salt in the wound... salt in the wound

Yeah, the deserve their own pin, but more than yavn? The creator of VMK? Maybe he hasn't be showing up in VMK because he'll get nothing but bad attitudes.

Maybe I am still upset about being called a cheater during the Blackheart quest... either way, creating a pin with your face on it?? Little over the top if you ask me. VMK creators are much more then just Yavn and even prior to VMK closing I can count on one hand how many times I have seen him in the game.... Lily, Hula and Fin deserve a Host pin dedicated to them before this.

This is all in my own opinion... I just feel like it's a slap in the face to those behind the scenes who work on and in VMK every day. Maybe if he actually spent more time in the game I would feel differently.... but for a guy who always talks about how he's on vacation..... ego much?

I would like to point out that there was a poll a long time ago about who you would like to see on a pin, and by considerable margin Yavn was the winner. This WAS a player poll.

Prior to closing I am sure everyone would have like to have had said pin, and Yavn and the entire staff at VMK had little if anything to do with its closing. Look to upper management and the accounting department for that.

All of the items that have come out in the last 40 days and some that haven't yet are awesome. My biggest complaint is that I have had no time to use them or play with them to see what I can make. This is not something that any of the people at VMK could have done anything about (again a high-up and money issue).

I only hope that one of your new games does as good a job at filling the void.

Thank you for the awesome items and the great time.

Never said they had anything to do with the closing, just saying that the hosts have spent more time in VMK then Yavn ever has and that I believe they should have something dedicated to them for all their unbelievable patience, love and dedication they have shown to the players of VMK.

Off topic : BTW, love your rooms!! Great work!

Uhhhh....he didn't create the game on his own. There are other producers, but he just got the spotlight.

And every time TD magic shells out thousands of credits, I just want to laugh.I only hope that one of your new games does as good a job at filling the void.In my opinion, this was a once in lifetime experience, not only because of the game design, but because of the universal appeal of the theme. I am not expecting anything to ever come close.Thank you for the awesome items and the great time.

GPDOTThat sums it up in a nutshell. Thanks VMK; it was amazing.

And I totally agree that the Host and people in the game deserve respect and more. I know I thank them for their hard work and dedication every time I see them, and yes they spend more time IN the game than Yavn; this seems primarily due to their roles don't you think?

The main difference, for me, is that the hosts are people who are to watch and keep the kingdom safe, and Yavn and the development staff create the world we have lived and played for the past 3+ years. I appreciate both the builders and the care takers of the kingdom. My point was not that the hosts deserve any less, but by popular demand the players asked for a Yavn pin.

Thank you for you comment on the rooms, I will miss making them and seeing all of the new materials and rooms come out. I did make one last room, Herbie Rides Again.

Thank you

I guess I really don't have a say since I didn't vote! LOL :)

Were the hosts an option in that vote? (just curious)

Don't get me wrong, I appreciate the fact he created VMK, I just think that for someone that so many looked up to, he should have spent more time in the game, a half hour a week is better then nothing. If you created it, I would think you would want to experience it??

It's a great pin, don't get me wrong. I would just enjoy it more if Lily was on it :)

I personally would've worn the Yavn pin with pride. I'm sure if Yavn could have saved VMK he would have, but it just wasn't in Disney's plans. He created this wonderfully fantastic world for us all to play in for almost 3 years and for that I am grateful.

I dont like it anymore.

Yavn doesn't even play VMK. The HOST_'s played VMK more than he did. To me it feels like as if your in a group of people like 3 maybe, and you all have to do a science project. And nobody wants to do the work but yet you do all the work, but the evil kid next to you lies and says that he did all the work and he gets all the credit for it but yet the person who did the work gets an F. I know it sounds confusing but basically I think that the HOST_'s did a better job at VMK then yavn did.

That doesn't make sense. Yavn was the one who created VMK. The HOSTS made rooms and gave out prizes. Now, which one did more?

Well I met that like HOST_'s did more in VMK. So, why should yavn deserve all this? Like I know this was a "player voted poll" on who should be on this pin but still. All yavn does is say bye to people because he says that he is working on the next newsletter or saying that he is creating the next "big thing" for VMK.

Ah. I see what you were saying. imo, I don't think that anybody deserved their own pin. But if anybody did, it'd probably be him since he was the one who designed VMK.

And yavn had/has been working on many other things besides VMK; so it is no wonder he never went on.

I also understand what you're saying and where you're coming from with your opinion. I have a different way of looking at it. The Yavn pin was originally suppose to be a prize for the Trading Card Game, and was a special edition prize at that. Who knows if they eventually would've made other staff pins too?

Although Yavn did not spend as much time in VMK as the hosts & staff did (at least now under his Yavn avatar, anyway) he put a lot of behind the scenes hard work into making the game great for all of us to play.

In my eyes, I've always viewed Yavn as kinda like the "Roy Disney" of VMK. Walt was not around long enough to make sure Disney World got completed so Roy took over. Walt, always one to embrace technology, would've loved the idea of a Virtual Kingdom and Yavn is the one that made that a reality. Sadly Yavn wasn't strong enough to keep it open for us, but it was great while it lasted and his contribution to the game should not be discounted.

they did this as a nod to him
He left vmk a year ago mostly except for helping some

Hmmm.. remember the guy BEFORE yavn, he was more in-charge. Seth ring a bell?

I personally think TikiT, Nico, and some other developers deserve more slack. They didn't even have a "VMK Staff" badge on them. Very disappointing.
