I see no reason not to repeat anything that makes money.

dabaseballking ’s Invisible pin is 5* - Spooky!
Then why close it?
it proves that they're done with it, and focusing on other games. You know, Disney bought CP pretty recently, they had to focus on that and potco and pixie hollow and cars... plenty of opportunities for them to make money

My personal belief is because it didn't fit in with their "Business strategy." Around the time VMK's closing was announced, a new team was put in charge of Disney's MMOs, and they decided that the way to make the most money was a "Quantity over Quality" strategy. Instead of having one all-inclusive MMO to rake in as many players as they can while only having to upkeep one game, they, for some reason or another, decided that appealing to smaller and smaller audiences with more and more games would work better instead.

Here's a video on the issue.

Not only that, but I think that in saying "See ya real soon!" they were talking about new games and promotions Disney might be developing. I'm not sure it had anything at all to do with VMK.

Alot of it was already lost.
If disney ends up bringing back vmk, then why did they close it?
-.-
Hey, we're back after a two year break! It was fun!

Again, most likely closed because it didn't fit in with their new business strategy, most likely will reopen when they realize their new business strategy is (If I may put it so bluntly) preeeeety stupid.

Personally, I think it's a great idea.
"How about we make a game for every movie we make?"
"Good idea, we can charge at least $6 a month for each game, make about 10 a year, this way kids will always have something new for their parents to pay for!"

[/sarcasm]

Yeah, pretty bad idea. I'd pay $20, maybe $25 a month for an all-around game like VMK over paying even $15 for 3 ok games that don't cover much. Would I pay $25, probably not, but I'd take it over the 3 ok games.

You've gotta admit, it's such an original idea, I'm sure no other company has ever considered it before.

I'm game.
I've been really looking for a way to get into Disney. I've been writing letters, throwing them away and starting over, only for the cycle to repeat itself. I don't know what to write.
I think ThrillJacob's idea is pretty good. I actually like it.
By the lower-downs on the Disney chain you mean...?
Like hotel cleaners? Ride operators?
In general what do you mean by that?
Well, if you do want to carry out this plan, count me in. I'll start my emails and let's see how it goes from there.

Lower down the chain, a few levels above yavn. Can't find any email addresses though. I guess that's why emailing lower is going to help, because they don't get emails anyway since it's impossible to find them...
