Why is VMK closed? I can't log in. Does anyone have an idea? :confused:

It closes every once in a while when they are working on something. It will probably be open again later this afternoon.

It closes every night and opens sometime in the morning, I'm not sure when though. But it's because the game moderators aren't there at nighttime.

Right. It is always closed between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM Pacific Time. But it also closes periodically during the day, like it is right now.

It's a little trying sometimes...but it's all good. It's still in Beta form and bugs and other things need to be taken care of from time to time. It'll all be worth it once it opens officially. :)

As for the current time periods of it being open, consult the newsletter section of the first page of VMK. Lots of information on the game as well s the time's it's currently available. Hope this helps a little.

On Thursday evening, it said it wouldn't open until Friday morning, but it did open up later Thursday. I think there's a good chance it will be open later today. At least I hope so. :)

I think Disney is using a common customer service tactic:

If people are waiting for something, give them a really long wait time: that way they won't be disappointed if it takes a long time, and they'll be pleasantly suprised when it opens early. :)

This Is Bull, Why Does It Have To Take 1000 Minutes To Do Something?

I Mean What Can I Possibly Do For That Much Time?

xFan342, you confuse me!

A while back, on another thread, you posted the following:

I think That Everytime They Have A Black Screen Crash, It Means They Are Updating Something To The VMK Beta.

So Don't Worry and Don't Complain.

It Will Be Worth It!

Now, everytime it goes down, you seem very angry. Please relax. Take your own advice from earlier: "Don't Complain."

I only say this with respect.

Assuming I figured it out correctly, the time given there is until the time it would usually open tomorrow. To me, that means that their only timer is set to opening the next day, which means the time given not accurate for the short closings during the day to fix and/or add something real quick. :) Such is the life of a game in beta.

Well, to me, this game delay is coming at a bad time.

I JUST got to start playing. Up until today, the game 'refused' to log me in. Now out of the blue, the game starts up and I'm playing along, getting my 'park' legs so to speak.

And now, I have to wait until tomorrow to play again?

That stinks. :eek:

Lady
05-28-2005, 09:57 PM
I don't think we'll have to wait until tomorrow, it most likely will open later tonight. I think their timer is probably not something that they set themselves, it's automatic pointing to the next day's opening. But, stuff like this will happen as long as it is in Beta. Personally, I feel for the CMs who are working the weekend. In my job, when there's a big release I tend to work 7 days a week. It's rough, but fun once it is over.

Henny Henlopen
05-28-2005, 10:00 PM
I'm thinking it's a Holiday Weekend and folks over there have probably left early. Per their site, they have to have a mod on when ever the site is open.

Lady
05-28-2005, 10:04 PM
It's possible they're all gone, I suppose, but I know that other games have people working 7 days a week so I don't see why they wouldn't have people on weekend shifts. A holiday weekend would be perfect for them to do load testing.

Eddiebears
05-28-2005, 11:16 PM
It's highly possible that they are preparing for the Memorial Day Weekend and are trying to fix a lot of bugs and glitches in the system before an onslaught of new users. We'll have to wait and see and visit the entrance page often to see if it's open. :)

When's memorial day weekend? Besides Toontown ppl don't take days off on holidays anyways.

Max Twinklescooter
05-28-2005, 11:46 PM
its this weekend and VMK is not done by the same people who do toontown also toontown people do most likely take days off and its rare to see a devleporer on open let alone test, and this is the beta version of VMK which means they will be adding and fixing it alot so its kinda normal -Max Twinklescooter

Eddiebears
05-28-2005, 11:57 PM
True. Keep in mind that even in Beta test format, there's an awful lot of users playing the game the past few weeks. I'm sure they have to upgrade and fix bugs that wre being discovered left and right. Once thins thing opens to the general public there's going to be thousands more people running around and that's a stress on the system to be sure. I don't mind a little breather from the game if it means that a lot of the glitches are hopefully being fixed. The people creating and controling the VMK have a lot to do and they're going a great job! And hey, if they also need a little breather as well, that's cool too! They deserve it.

Foustketeer
05-29-2005, 12:03 AM
I am going to have to agree with Eddiebears. I have playing it on average 3 hours a day. I know I need a breather and maybe they are adding small things and fixing the glitches.

However, of all weekends to have their site down, THIS weekend isn't one of them.

I don't know about anyone else, but I was looking forward to relaxing and playing some internet games. So much for VMK.

I am just wondering if they will have the game up and running 24/7 sooner or later or if they will continue to have the game running for such a restrictive time period. :eek: :confused:

I agree with you Henny!
After all isn't this game ment for young teens, yet close it on a weekend and a 3 day weekend when they are home? Yet is open when they are in school..

I went to play for the 1st time today, and like many have been waiting for it to come out, but went out of town this past week and right before I got to the point where I could get in the game, it shut down for the day. grrrrrr

I got in and went to the Music area. Played 2 songs and got no points. Hopped around the park a bit and got stuck in the gallery of the castle for a couple of minutes and decided to end the program and get out of it. I guess they were trying to check something and too many people got on at once and messed with the system accidentally.
