BY the time I got in to tonight quest , it was done.
If your waiting in line go on and do something else,

Way to soon! I got to click on the machine, but the 1st 50 players had already finished and won the quest.(Did you win m what was your prize?)
I spent most of the time tring to get in line and waiting in line.

What a bummer.
The Host said the room had been open for a while, Did it open early tonight?

So I went back to the main page to check sure enough it said 6:30-8:30 PT
So It took a4 or more minute just to get in the Que line, then I wait in line , then get in the room around 6:52 PT and the game is done less than 30 minutes into the time they gave to come still another hour and a half and it is done..

OK, I am done venting you my go on with your play

Guess, I have to have the fastest finger next time.

as far as i know it is the fastest time and not first come first serve, the prizes are awarded after the time is up, it just shows who has the fastest time at the moment:hop:

There were 2 quest rooms today, VMK Bella's Quest and the VMK Quest Land one.

EDIT: And the prizes -are- given out on a time. Each quest goes for an hour (or maybe 2 not exactly sure) then the prizes are given out to the winners.

Yes, But the time on the VMK board said it would be open untill 8:30 PT, Another hour from now, I just wish they would give more people time to play.

It does stop the playing with mule problem, they had,
I only saw one VMK Quest, and I was tring to get in that one,
Maybe I would have had an easier time getting in the other game.

Not sure about the hour thing, because, I got in half hour hour after the main board said it was opened, Unless it opened early,

maybe they could make one quest per hour so it would last the entire time,
and make twice as many winners

I'm going to try the one that is still up, Maybe I will have better luck there!

Good Luck everyone! :easter_eggs: :hop:

I think the Bella quest was only for 1 hour. The VMK Quest Land one is going on right now, and it ends in another hour. (it opened at 6:30 PT)

In the last quest, there were 100 winners and the 23rd and 64th or something won inferno. 1st through 10th or so won 50 credits and a Tomorrowland Retro UFO pin. The 100th winner got a sorcerer's hat. All the others won 50 credits.

Wow! So it was rondom. That's cool, even the other people that don't get like a minute to do the quest can still get inferno. :hoppy_easter_bunny:

Thanks Retri, I got in line it went really quick !
I wouldn't have gotten in line at all thinking everyone was wasting there time. Silly me! I was just about to give up and my head against something and you came a long.

Now at peace inside! warm and fuzzy and happy I got a chance to play .

I was in HOST_Bella's room at about 7:45 tonight and she said the quest was not over until about 9:30, and that is when everyone got their prize because it was based on quickest time. I got the Main Street pin. I think maybe you were in a copy cat room where someone made a room with the same name.

Huh? I did Babs quest yesterday.. Nobody else saw that?!?! Then again it was like at 7:30 EST (4:30 PT) So not many people were looking for it. I didn't finish it. I couldn't find the skull in POTC!!

Most of the VMK Host Quest rooms are on a timed control system. Which means it will be open only for a number of hours and during that time, you try to get the lowest time possible. So, it's not first come first serve. You could be the very last person playing but still beat the fastest time on the board. It just determines who is the fastest at the ending.

Ok, I need to know how many hours and minutes 12:30pm is after VMK opens (if you have the same time than VMK, please tell).

I really need to know.. I hope it's in the first hours of VMK :(, or else I won't be able to play the "Quest Events", meaning I could never get Inferno my playing the events..
