As the long awaited and as the anticipation almost killed us, VMK has finally arrived. With a 5 Step Process once actually logging in, the little problems I had with that was changing the clothes went a little slow causing slight lag to the game, once continuing sign up creating a username went ok, but i found if you pressed enter after typing in a name, you always got the same error saying: Username must contain 4-18 letters only.(The Problem that Weebl was experiencing) After the creation the game loads to a VMK shortcut menu. Also I found the quick tips, a bit frustrating, while i Wanted them on, the same one appeared everytime you went to that page. So eventually its better to turn them off.
Chatting
VMK has opened a new layout and style for Chatting in game. While we use the VMK Dictionary, which contains words appropriate for 8-12 year olds, it was a bit frustrating finding the proper words, however really fun at the same time. Getting a little creative to get your word across is half the fun.
In-Game Gaming.(lol)
The game I found the most confusing was Pirates of the Carribean , at the same time I enjoyed the fast paced Pirate action, and I love the fact its Team Play, which I hope we see more of. Using the Left and Right arrow keys you control the direction of your cannon balls(begin with 5 balls). You move your ship just like you would your character in VMK, with the mouse and clicking when you want the ship to move. Click your ship and fire away! Hoping you hit your other Team's ships. POTC can be played with 2 Teams of 4 Players Each. Difficulty at the easy level (3 out of 5)
Photo Safari
This is probably the easiest game so far. Using your arrow keys you control a boat on your Safari in search of Animals you snap by clicking the mouse, based on the rarity your Animal is the more points awarded. Pretty simple, however you only have certain ammount of film and if you run into things while traveling your gasoline level goes down, and once at zero, you guessed it game over. So keep out of harms way and steer your boat trying not to hit obstacles in the water. Also You can pick up Gas and more Film on your Safari so look for those as well. (Difficulty 1 out of 5)
Fireworks
This game for me with a High Speed computer, lagged really bad, and I'm not sure why. However only when I had 6 different fireworks to explode was there tremendous lag. First off you begin with 2 different Fireworks as they shoot up in the sky, use your left and right arrow keys to go back and forth from each of the fireworks, once you have the proper firework as it shoots off click it and see a pretty explosion. LoL thats pretty much the basics you play against 3 other people, highest score wins. Each Level gets harder and harder with a total of 6 Worlds with 3 Levels in Each World. Don't worry they go fast. (Difficulty 3 out of 5)

Shopping
Shopping is pretty easy in VMK. Using your credits won by games, or found by certain NonPlayableCharacter's in the game you can buy Pins,Posters,Clothing,and Furniture for your Guest Room. Visiting different places allows your shopping menu to create shortcuts, that way you wont have to visit each Place to find the item your looking for. By Clicking the item you can view a picture of it, and also in most Shops you see sample of the Object in the stores.(Hint visit the Emporium for 40 Credits)
Camera
By visiting VMK Central in Main Street you can purchase a Camera for 100 Credits, also you can participate in what I think is the best part about VMK finding the Hidden Mickeys around the park. Although i am not to sure how to "cash" the pictures of these hidden mickey's in, its fun going around the park looking for Hidden Mickeys. After taking a Picture with the camera Icon, you can store it in a Catalog or move it to your Photo Album which can be placed in your Guest Room. Also you can buy more Film at VMK Central as well.
Guest Rooms
While this is something that will soon be updated, having your own room i think is perfect for this environment, when you sign up you are automatically given a Room of your choice. And then once you have visited the shops you can go to your room and place these items. I chose Mad Hatter's Tea Party, so i bought Furniture from "Its a Small World Imports". To match the Alice in Wonderland Theme.
As this is only the end of the first day of VMK, Soon i will Add more FAQ's if you guys have any questions please PM me, and i will set up a Questions Section of the FAQ, so others will know the answer as well. If its allowed i will add screenshots of the proper Icons, and screenshots of game instructions as well. Once again this is only the begining of a Tedius FAQ. Hope you guys find this information direct and helpful. Have fun and Good Luck~Lunatix
