I think that VMK should stay open at all hours and have people switch out the jobs to let us play!!!!!!!

Thanks,
Lollipop

P.S. All for this protest please say "Aie!" Then type it so I know you said it! LOL

I think this goes with the reality that even VMK closes like the parks do. In a way i think its brilliant in another I think its annoying.

Well for right now they use the off time to fix stuff and test things - so right now for the beta it's a good thing.
It'd be smart, once the game is open, to have it 24 hours so people all over can get on without time zone issues. I'm sure they'll do that once the beta is over.

Yea, Time Zones are mean. LoL.

Lol yea really - I feel so bad for the poor people in other countries who can only go on VMK for a few hours because of them. =(

Well Along with Beta, Crashes- Login Problems, and GLitches will occur and something i think we forget about Beta, is while its awesome VMK is out, we has Beta testers still have to do our job, by reporting bugs and glitches. other wise nothing will get fixed.

Lollipop
05-31-2005, 05:37 AM
:) true true but for that matter i myself can admit to just quitting and logging back in as opposed to reporting a bug!

Mr.Lunatix
05-31-2005, 05:38 AM
well Duh.. lol thats when you open a New window :D yeA i admit that i get in VMK before reporting the bug.

For ppl like me that live in Engalnd it is unfair bc it opens at 4pm (BST) so we dont have a lot of time bc in the school holidays we wait for quite a while for it to open.

Should Vmk be open for 24 hours and sometimes close for a little while to make new things like costumes or rooms?

Wat do u think?


(Plz tell me if im doing anything wrong bc i am new) :uglyhamme

I don't think this would ever happen. I would want it too, but remember that just like a real theme park, there are people who work for VMK and they can't be on all the time! :)

They would probably keep it open IF they had moderators that worked night shifts..

Plus they need to keep it closed sometimes to fix bugs and stuff like that.

Maybe not 24 hours but 7-2 am would be nice. 10 is just waaaay to early to close a theme park.

It would be nice if it was opened longer. But (at least not until they get more servers) I don't see it ever being 24 hours.

Thats a great idea! There could be a USA and a Euro disney! Euro could ahve different staff so the regular VMK staff dont have to work 24 hours!

No not really, if it was open 24/7 some players who go on night mostly scammers would scam at night since some staff is tired and really can't do much.

What about on weekends?

Maybe not 24 hours but 7-2 am would be nice. 10 is just waaaay to early to close a theme park.

0_o that would be 5am over here!

this is true but if is like the real theme park it should open at the theme park time and close at the theme park time except for the theme park times that end before or at 10 other wise i like the 11 and midnight just not all night bc whose parents would let them stay on all night i mean if no one is on it is pointless although they could still do a tester for whose is on :CastMem:

i would adree but i live east and i am 3 hours behind so i have to wait a while but i live for vmk i think they should but even staff should get sleep if it is always open:lol:

dancerdudes
03-20-2006, 11:10 PM
yes i agree with everyone here. I myself am thinking of donating a server and some money to open earlier.

Chip
03-20-2006, 11:30 PM
No because that might encourage Kids to stay up later adn be tired the next day or something. School.

gatechgal
03-21-2006, 12:58 PM
I'll post this again. It's important for VMK to be moderated for everyone's safety. Now if Disney had to employ enough moderators to be open all the time, then VMK wouldn't be able to be a free site anymore. They would have to charge players in order to make up for the money they were having to pay the moderators. So I realize the hours dont' fit everybody. But it is what it is and we should be grateful that we can all have a good time on this free site.

its not fair only at weekend i have time for first event, others start too late..

03-21-2006, 06:04 PM
Another idea for "EuroVMK"... they need to find something where VMK can see in which country you live and so can't "EuroVMK" be used by American-users on an houre when (normal) VMK is closed.

AstroAceTinker
03-21-2006, 06:42 PM
It would be nice to have it open 24 hours but like the others are saying I don't think that'll be a possiblility. But Disneyland is open 24 hours whether the public comes in or not, because the workers (whether they are night shift or not) have to work on the rides for the next day. So there can be a possibility of having vmk open 24 hours. But don't you think that might be a little harsh on the workers?

i think the vmk time is fine right now except i wish it would stay open longer on fridays and saturdays like disneyland

if vmk was 24 hours, id have to quit... id never go to class, do my homework, sleep, eat...

but maybe 24 hours on weekends? that would be cool.

That would be really cool, only if they could find a way for us to log in and have the same character and items as on our US account. That would rock!

im addict to vmk its a drug lol but its ok for me it opens at 10:00 and close at 1:00 A.M if it was 24 hour i would spend thousands of dollars in the bill for computer

1girl2sweet
03-21-2006, 09:44 PM
Yes and no

Yes- because, face it, it would be better

No- because VMK has to add costumes and make vmk better and nobody would like to see a warning saying vmk will be closed for enhancements a lot.

03-21-2006, 09:47 PM
It is possible for VMK to open 24 hours a day... Some people here seem to talk as if Disney in the parks and in the VMK central within the parks are the staff and patrol VMK from the parks itself...

Like habbo hotel (same makers as VMK) moderators are paid to work from home on their own computers... The only reason VMK closes is because there has to be staff from home working at all opening hours.

It all comes down to money.... Sulake (creators) dont want to have to pay more for vmk to open more hours I guess.. :( If VMK hired more staff aka mods then it would be awesome! :) There is barely enough as it is, lol.

i also live in the uk (england ) and i well think that it should be open longer

MrJambo
03-22-2006, 10:23 AM
Open all weekend, that's the best idea I've heard so far and I think it has the best chance to happen. As long as VMK stays free, I don't see Disney spending the money to keep it open 24 hours everyday.

KrazyLuke
03-22-2006, 10:57 AM
VMK will probably never ever be open all day because of many reasons. you have to think about the staff... they have another life outside vmk working and i do not think they would want/have the time to work in vmk all day. and plus how many people really would be up at early morning??? us EST have it closing at 1 AM and there are only around 2,500-3,000 ppl on. and if they kept it open all day, there is a great chance of nobody or a couple of people being on. so i do not think vmk will ever open all day 24/7

What about the poor people who live in Hawaii? (Well, maybe not poor. It IS Hawaii afterall.) VMK closes at 8pm for them.

I would absolutely LOVE VMK open at night. I get home from work late (3am)and need to unwind...what better way to do that than to play VMK! Especially when I try to play during the day and get SERVER IS TOO BUSY or I am dc every time I try to go into a different room. Does anyone else have a problem in the Music Game room with the error screen coming up and says SORRY VMK HAS CRASHED PLEASE LOG ON AGAIN?!? I get this almost every time I try to play a song!!!

Because we all have to log into VMK with our registered e-mails from the Disney.com site, maybe they can put an age limit on an "after-hours" time for VMK. There are many adults that play the game, that way it can fit into our schedules as well as the school aged children.

I also think adjusting the hours for those people in other countries would be a great idea as well.

What's funny was, I remember goofing off in beta, when this thread was created, but my-oh-my, how things have changed. I regret almost nothing I do in VMK, not because what I do is great, but because it can nip you in the ### later on:

-Not getting Sorcerer Mickey Hat
-Not getting HM Clock
-Not taking advantage of the easy lines and open space to try for BGR.
-Not being at the event to get Inferno

But remember, even though we have regrets, we *virtually* live through it. It's what we must do with the VMK times, as well. The only way to fix timezone problems is to accord it so that each player is only allowed in during 7:00-10:00, their time. Four Problems, though:

-VMK would have to have credit card registration, to prove residence (if kids, parents must do so)
-Thus, VMK would be mostly adults
-Players who live in Hong Kong would never play with kids in London, seeing as their time is almost a full 12 Hour difference (I think)
-VMK would have to put in MUCH time and LOTS of money just to get that 'project' underway, killing our staff-hosted events due to time shortage.

Just giving you something to think about...

i say i like the current system of vmk being open only during certain hours of the day. if it stayed open all night, the only games you would be able to do would be the credits games and vmk would have to hire staff to be around at all times. i like it the way it is because if vmk was open all night long. i would be staying up until all hours everyday, but randyman is right alot of things have changed since beta, why not change again. come to think about it, vmk 1st birthday is coming up and i wonder what they have planned.

I say yes to the people who are over seas, and the current VMK hours don't work well for them. I say no to the people live in Florida, and just want it to be open 24 hours so they can play at 3 in the morning.

hi i live in a place of magical wonder(more like WV don't remember that) and here VMK opens when we are at school so i would like it if VMK could just open at 6:10 am and close at 1:00 am here in the east coast west coast would be 3:00 am to 10 pm just a for hour extra would be good for me.

manunderwater
03-28-2006, 10:57 PM
No its a horrible idea, sorry to say. But, I say that because if it were open all day, you would get no sleep, no rest for school, you would probably fall asleep during school. And there would be no adult supervision, so there's bigger chance for more violence and for you to get scammed.
