View Full Version : Sparrow Suit retired? Codes don't work?!?
hawkeyefan 01-18-2007, 06:29 PM Has anybody else noticed that the codes obtained from the Jack Sparrow game now show as invalid when entered in VMK? What's up with that? Are they retiring the Sparrow Suit? I wonder why VMK made the codes not valid any more. Anybody know what's up with this?
Jeena 01-18-2007, 06:30 PM It's just a phase i think, sometimes the codes just dont work, i hope it's not permanant...

Neoteny 01-18-2007, 06:32 PM Maybe somebody finally cracked the code and created a code generator. Will Sparrow outfits soon become untradeable?
Jeena 01-18-2007, 06:33 PM :oh no i hope not!! I haven't got a whole one yet!! I need to get trading...

hawkeyefan 01-18-2007, 06:38 PM Why did this thread get moved to Collector Items? It's a VMK Game Discussion thread...
Capt.Winner 01-18-2007, 06:39 PM Why did this thread get moved to Collector Items? That's dumb.
Because we're talking about an item, that could become a collector's item, and we're just discussing it. That's what the Forum is for.

"Could become"? It already is a collector's item. I've collected one myself!
Wendot 01-18-2007, 06:42 PM Why did this thread get moved to Collector Items? It's a VMK Game Discussion thread...

Neoteny 01-18-2007, 06:44 PM Well, that settles that. Thanks, Wendot!
Stunt 01-18-2007, 06:55 PM Wait, so the codes from the game when entered now say invalid?
That's weird.
Neoteny 01-18-2007, 06:56 PM I played the game this morning and didn't even get a code. Unless "error" is a code.
Stunt 01-18-2007, 06:57 PM Right but what about older codes.
I have a few around I have not entered.
Neoteny 01-18-2007, 07:04 PM Right but what about older codes.
I have a few around I have not entered.
I don't know. Try them.
Stunt 01-18-2007, 07:07 PM I don't know. Try them.
Can't I'm at work and can get on here but not VMK.
I'm supposed to be working.
hawkeyefan 01-18-2007, 07:51 PM Wendot, this isn't a thread about any VMK item(s), it's a thread about VMK Codes not working from a VMK Sparrow game. Thanks for your reply though.
As for old codes, they don't work, that's what I'm referring to. They come back as invalid codes. They were working on Tuesday, but not on Wednesday, and again not working today (Thursday)
BonoGirl 01-18-2007, 07:52 PM Are any of the other games giving out codes that work?
bopper 01-18-2007, 07:57 PM Are you entering many codes in a row?
Sometimes VMK doesn't like that.
Try moving to another room or logging out and logging back in and see if your codes work.
Neoteny 01-18-2007, 08:08 PM As for old codes, they don't work, that's what I'm referring to. They come back as invalid codes. They were working on Tuesday, but not on Wednesday, and again not working today (Thursday)
Well of course they won't work today if you used them on Tuesday! You can only use each code once!
hawkeyefan 01-18-2007, 08:56 PM Sorry if I was confusing. Let me try again.
Any and all fresh, unused codes from the Sparrow game, do not work when entered into VMK as of Wed. Jan 17th. It has nothing to do with switching rooms, or entering them too fast, etc.
Stunt 01-18-2007, 09:29 PM Has anyone reported it yet to VMK?
Noelle 01-18-2007, 09:39 PM I have had this happen before. I just waited a couple of days, tried the codes again and they worked. That's how I got my Sparrow Suit. :)
Stunt 01-18-2007, 09:46 PM Anyone know if Everest or Uphill/downhill are working?
KrazyLuke 01-18-2007, 10:02 PM If you are getting an error message about code failure or generator failure where the code would show it then it's most like that they are currently out of codes, so nothing can be generated O_o This happened before and it worked a day or two after ;)

I think he's saying that he already has the codes; they just don't work when entered.
hawkeyefan 01-18-2007, 10:18 PM I think he's saying that he already has the codes; they just don't work when entered.
Correct. They don't work for me, or anybody else for that matter.
Stunt 01-19-2007, 12:33 AM Codes are working again.
Neoteny 01-19-2007, 01:00 AM But are they working for hawkeyefan?
hawkeyefan 01-19-2007, 01:34 AM But are they working for hawkeyefan?
Pirate Codes are NOT working yet. It's still a no go.
Neoteny 01-19-2007, 01:51 AM Well, Stunt says they're working, so maybe it's something on your end.
Stunt 01-19-2007, 02:40 AM Codes worked for me.
I have some codes from before and I was able to enter them without a problem.
But when I tried to play and get new codes it said error.
But the codes DID work for me.
hawkeyefan 01-19-2007, 03:53 AM Codes worked for me.

Hmm, maybe the ones I was trying were too old, because I tried what I thought to be a more recent code, and it worked... I got an Organ :-) So it looks as though problem is solved.
rabbitprincess 01-19-2007, 04:51 PM is this problem solved yet? i just tried it and it still says error...anyone report it?
Fantasysurfingboy 01-19-2007, 04:54 PM When I'm done playing it gives me a code of.... XXXXXXXXXX
hawkeyefan 01-19-2007, 05:01 PM maybe codes obtained recently work, but older codes don't. And also it appears the game still isn't giving out new codes when you complete the game... how weird.
iLoveTheRain 01-19-2007, 05:57 PM is this problem solved yet? i just tried it and it still says error...anyone report it?
Good luck finding a Contact form on the Pirate site. I looked around for about 10 minutes before the rage of the run-around they give you got to me. http://www.ilovetherain.com/Emote/Rawrg.gif
The only thing they want to hear from you about is how much you're going to pay them for them to allow you to advertise on their site. Yay Disney http://www.ilovetherain.com/Emote/Zombie.gif
-edit-
Haha, it's like they added it just for me. I just spotted a "Question" form. Sent one to the site. Hopefully they'll send an answer within the week.
Spacewolf 01-19-2007, 09:28 PM I got an "error" for my code when I tried playing. Will try again later and see what happens.
MagicStarPower 01-19-2007, 11:18 PM Maybe somebody finally cracked the code and created a code generator. Will Sparrow outfits soon become untradeable?
Actually, sadly, there is a program now available to generate VMK codes :(
This stinks...

Are you sure it's not a phisher? http://www.ilovetherain.com/Emote/Pac.gif
MagicStarPower 01-24-2007, 09:59 PM Are you sure it's not a phisher? http://www.ilovetherain.com/Emote/Pac.gif
I'm sure. It simply asked you to say which game you'd want a code from. Then it generates it. It appears that the system is down right now and it has been for about a month so maybe someone caught them?
iLoveTheRain 01-25-2007, 02:00 AM Is anyone else sick of entering these winky codes
http://i53.****************/albums/g63/strange_indeedy/SparrowCode.gif
Yes, every message is from a code, and from today http://www.ilovetherain.com/Emote/Hmph.gif
TravisSch 01-25-2007, 02:01 AM Yes I'm tired because I still haven't got the sparrow suit. I'll probably starting selling the items for credits. :)
iLoveTheRain 01-25-2007, 02:03 AM Yes I'm tired because I still haven't got the sparrow suit. I'll probably starting selling the items for credits. :)
They aren't tradeable, to top the wonderful frustration of it all off http://www.ilovetherain.com/Emote/Shsh.gif
You either have to keep them, or sell them for 5 credits. Baka codes ...
-edit-
See, this is how tired I am from today. I read your post as "trade the items away" or something...my bad http://www.ilovetherain.com/Emote/Oi.gif
gabyta 01-25-2007, 07:43 PM the game isn't giving out new codes :( I tried today again :(

I'm "plundering" right now, and it seems to be giving them out fine to me 0_o
Maybe it was a glitch?
Stunt 01-29-2007, 05:21 AM Anyone else having problems getting codes again?
They seem to have stopped again, getting Error message.

Yes, I am getting an error as well. I don't often play this game, but thought I would give it a try after reading this thread. :wave2:
Astroshadykid 01-29-2007, 07:19 PM i have tried about 50 times today and have not gotten a error yet :D
rabbitprincess 01-29-2007, 07:22 PM ok if anyone has any extra codes they don't feel like typing in..i'd gladly accept them :)
hawkeyefan 01-29-2007, 08:01 PM i have tried about 50 times today and have not gotten a error yet :D
AstroShadyKid1, the game still isn't giving new codes for any of us... we're not talking about entering the Codes in VMK, we're talking about the error we get when playing the Pirate Game again and selecting the VMK Code prize option... it isn't giving new codes.
rabbitprincess 01-29-2007, 08:07 PM well..like i said, if anyone has any unused codes they don't feel like typing in. I'd gladly accept them :)

Astroshadykid 01-29-2007, 11:49 PM uh i know -.- i played the game this morning, got all the codes without a error at all..and they worked when i put them in on vmk..
astroconfuseder 01-29-2007, 11:52 PM the codes still work i just got 1

No you didn't, it isn't working for any of us.
hawkeyefan 01-30-2007, 04:55 PM No you didn't, it isn't working for any of us.
Pirate Game still doesn't appear to be giving out anything but "error".
BaldEagleBob 01-30-2007, 08:00 PM Pirate Game still doesn't appear to be giving out anything but "error".
It's not just Dead Man's Chest, either! Kellogg's 'Pirates Are Coming', the water parks game, and Narnia Adventure are all giving out ERROR messages instead of codes.
Is this the end of outside mini-games for VMK prizes? I sure hope not.:confused:

You're lucky! I hope they get the Pirate Codes fixed... I want a suit!

Picture to prove it.

Twisty 01-30-2007, 09:40 PM Yes, I'm hoping to get Sparrow Soon, too.
Thark, I hope you already got that code, I bet people will try to use it. -.-

ok dude, how are you going to tell me a didnt get a code, you cant so you are absolutly wrong saying i didnt get 1
pigletsdaman 01-30-2007, 10:18 PM i hope you ppl know that you can't even trade them and all of the codes haven't worked for like 5 months or at least mine haven't none at all and maybe pplz just couldn't take it anymore and you still can't trade them
pigletsdaman 01-30-2007, 10:20 PM :oh no i hope not!! I haven't got a whole one yet!! I need to get trading...

that doesn't prove anything they mean they don't work on vmk not the pirate site of course they're going to come up but it doesn't mean they'll work
PolarFish 01-30-2007, 10:24 PM They are trade-able, I traded with one just today.

sparrow suits are trade able
Thark 01-31-2007, 01:40 AM that doesn't prove anything they mean they don't work on vmk not the pirate site of course they're going to come up but it doesn't mean they'll work
The Sparrow Suits are tradeable.
And the codes work on vmk if you want a picture of it working just ask. I was replying to hawkeye who said the game wasn't dispensing codes anymore, it was already explained in earlier posts that the codes have worked on vmk for other people.
Also a lot of people sell the extra items for credits. But sparrow suit is still worth the time.
If you aren't getting codes I recommend clearing cookies, history and all internet content, possible through Internet properties.
lobasketballfreak 01-31-2007, 01:55 AM Well you never know it VMK staff might think its time to retire all sparrow stuff even the not tradable stuff like sparrow poster, dead man chest ect. Then it will be a whole lot rarer then it is at this moment. rotfl
Stunt 01-31-2007, 02:21 AM Not working again

Confirmed... the game isn't giving codes again... Arg!

This is happening very often, leading me to believe that there's somebody out there running a script to extract the codes quickly. Bad news.
Sponkey 01-31-2007, 05:36 PM Ah Yup there is a code generator out there again from one of the other sites and I bet vmk is stopping this codes from being givien out to see who is still putting in an excessive amount of codes. Why do these ppl have to use generator's? Just use the quick link it is the same as playing the game only shorter!
Twisty 01-31-2007, 09:01 PM Yes you can.

does this mean that we won't be able to get sparrow anymore??
Stunt 01-31-2007, 10:30 PM For the past couple of days this has been happening.
Sometimes you get a code and sometimes it's an error message.
Usually after a day or two it's fixed, I think.
BUT-
The Waterslide game is also down.
Maybe they are linked?

Well, the last time somebody figured out how to hack the system, Narnia teleporters were made untradeable.
Maybe that will happen with the Sparrow costume, too.

Like you really know the reasoning behind all VMK decisions.
I doubt they'd let some stupid hacker ruin the game for the rest of us.

That's what happened with the Narnia Wardrobe Teleporters. They used to be tradeable, then somebody hacked the codes, and suddenly there were thousands of them in the game, and now they're no longer tradeable.
Stunt 02-01-2007, 05:07 PM Let's focus on the problem here, Why are the codes not working again?!

I mean, I understood how to play before, but now I know who the characters are and what the objects mean and all that.
Savvy?
Stunt 02-09-2007, 10:42 PM Nothing works!
No Pirates, no Uphill/Downhills, no Narnia or the Skull Rock rooms.
What's going on?
AppleBees 02-10-2007, 09:04 AM I'm getting the xxxx xxxx xxxx xxxx but after a second or 2 the error comes up, can somebody help me? How do can I fix this? or is it just a glitch or something like that?
ps: I played many times and I kept getting error, even if I closed the window and opened a new one :(
silverbullet 02-19-2007, 07:26 AM I got one code woot!!! Then it gave me error the follow three, I'll try more later.
