Awesome.
Anielmz 09-25-2006, 08:52 PM Wow.. how did you get all of this information? :D I CANT WAIT!!
davidsplanet 09-25-2006, 08:55 PM I traded my life away for a headdress and now it will be on sale. :( Now it won't be rare. And why does Yavn say cowboy vest and not suit? Woot for those with the gray haunted mansion suits! Thx Yavn for letting us know, your the greatest.
TravisSch 09-25-2006, 08:55 PM The information is in the newsletter on the site.
Also, I'm excited about the magic. I want to get the coral magic.
However, the thing about new magic expiring at a certain point makes me kind of upset.
Also, I like the addition of the in trade icon coming :)! Now people won't have to wonder why I'm not answering them when I'm trading.
vmkstar99 09-25-2006, 09:01 PM OMG! Native costume! HM brown and black suit! Green and pink superhero costume! I CAN'T WAIT!!
Too bad they're not going to sell HM gray suit..
Maribeth 09-25-2006, 09:01 PM So there's a possibility of getting Coral magic? and it goes away after you use it? That stinks.
Can you only get the keys once each? That stinks too.
~twinklebyte~ 09-25-2006, 09:02 PM Yaay!
Costumes, hair, MYSTERY STUFF!
WOOOOOOOOO <3
SleepyPiglet 09-25-2006, 09:02 PM Woot so many great changes coming! :D
timmyastro 09-25-2006, 09:03 PM yup and vmk might break off from disney.go which means woot no dc! :)
Katiebcat 09-25-2006, 09:04 PM I have to buy the princess costumes( i have pink)!
Exoxus 09-25-2006, 09:05 PM Wheres the BGR and BQR Winners!? :(
ZOMG This Newsletter rocks!
Deeda 09-25-2006, 09:07 PM That single use thing sounds a little...angering. That is SO not fair! How can they do this to us? So what if stuff isn't rare? I can't believe it. I might as well quit, then, with all the stupid descisions. It's just totally unfair! I give up. I love VMK, but this is just nuts. I mean, they can make our stuff disappear at a certain date, but they can't stop annoying things like "taken" and "bay be?" That is just...how can they have the audacity? I hope the mods keep this post up. I really do.
Katiebcat 09-25-2006, 09:09 PM I have to buy the princess costumes( i have pink)!
this rerelease comes with a price of not having the costume rare.
KristyNWonder 09-25-2006, 09:10 PM wow so much new stuff! the hair styles aren't out though. are the trade icons in the game yet too??
Exoxus 09-25-2006, 09:12 PM Find Staff! See what they look like! Quick! Before I break something!
futuremartymcfly 09-25-2006, 09:12 PM Too bad they're not going to sell HM gray suit..
That might be one of the mystery items.
MichelleA 09-25-2006, 09:12 PM schmoofy you were right! woot! awesome new stuff.
I dont like that new magic stuff *Bleh*
TravisSch 09-25-2006, 09:13 PM Wheres the BGR and BQR Winners!? :(
ZOMG This Newsletter rocks!
I've been wondering that too. I'm waiting because I want to see if I won. :)
gigarichard 09-25-2006, 09:14 PM Why are they changing the site? I like this layout and I hope it doesn't change too much. Before when they changed the layout of the site it was much more organized, will it be even more?
KristyNWonder 09-25-2006, 09:16 PM I think the change of site will help with lost connections.
sooo, nothing new in the game as of today right?
Maribeth 09-25-2006, 09:16 PM Oi. Of course they do this when I don't have access to the staff!! Someone go and find the staff post pics!
Hehehehehe Green ears should be buyable now! And.. let's see how fast the coders react and get that image fixed when you make a new account. ;)
Deeda 09-25-2006, 09:17 PM Ohh, good, nobody cares about my post? That's kinda good, lol. I know no one's mad at me. But the new staff outfit thing is nice!!
Neoteny 09-25-2006, 09:18 PM Um. What does Coral Magic do?
TravisSch 09-25-2006, 09:18 PM Hehehehehe Green ears should be buyable now! And.. let's see how fast the coders react and get that image fixed when you make a new account. ;)
Yavn said in the newsletter green ears won't be buyable. Sorry! :(
Schmoofy 09-25-2006, 09:19 PM Find Staff! See what they look like! Quick! Before I break something!LOL! I lol'd at this. Also, no new BGR's yet like you said :(
Hehehehehe Green ears should be buyable now! And.. let's see how fast the coders react and get that image fixed when you make a new account. ;)Someone didn't read the newsletter well enough ;)
Maribeth 09-25-2006, 09:24 PM You're right.. I didn't.
They still SHOULD!
And.. and.. I really want to see staff!! Really!
rabbitprincess 09-25-2006, 09:27 PM omg..omg!!! I'm sooo excited!! :D
Deeda 09-25-2006, 09:31 PM Ah, no, don't go yelling at me, there. I merely said I think it's stupid, myself. I didn't expect anyone to share my opinions, I'll tell you that much. But I do think it's annoying that people are actually going out in a virtual game and being "left in box by mummy". I mean, who wants a life like that? And as for the single thing, it's just a little but unfair, it is. An odd concept, that. But I reckon it ain't much of my choice, no, eh? But still, I'll say again I don't care much for agreement on my statements. Not here at least.
Oh, and Schmoofy and TravisSch? You take the fun out of everything. :( LOL
PaperClip 09-25-2006, 09:32 PM I wonder when it will come out. I want to get the TICMP magic.
TravisSch 09-25-2006, 09:33 PM And.. and.. I really want to see staff!! Really!
Go to the host event. You'll probably see the new staff uniforms there! :)
EDIT: Hula isn't wearing the new uniform.

Why can't they keep the green and give us that? LOL!
Its VERY cute, and im lovin' the new changes.
Ba da ba BA BA im lovin' it.
THANKS YAVN AND CREW!
Flame Gun 09-25-2006, 09:43 PM So there's a possibility of getting Coral magic? and it goes away after you use it? That stinks.
Can you only get the keys once each? That stinks too.
No You get them each time you win POTC game
Level 1 Bronze Key
Level 2 Silver Key
Level 3 Gold Key
You can only use them once but you can get more of them
Extras 09-25-2006, 09:48 PM http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/8927/newsletter20060925modoutfitssy3.jpg
Housemaid Hula LOL
Seriously, those look like housemaid uniforms.
BelieveNTheMagic 09-25-2006, 09:49 PM On the mystery items, will it either be a item/cosutme/pin?
Brentino 09-25-2006, 09:51 PM Sweet. Why do girls get 2 new hairstyles and guys get 1. Not cool...
Moi:princess:
Adventurebry 09-25-2006, 09:52 PM These new costumes for the staff look like somebody on the fourm here made them.. I mean, im not saying people on the forum make bad costumes, most of the time, the costumes made here are better then VMK's! It's just, well a different stilye (sp) then the other cothing.. But I am VERY excited to see all of the new changes.
Extras 09-25-2006, 09:52 PM Sweet. Why do girls get 2 new hairstyles and guys get 1. Not cool...

I know, definetly unfair.

Maybe they just edited out the people and put them on a different format. They'll probably look better on vmk.
Qui-gon 09-25-2006, 09:54 PM I am super excited about all this stuff but I think they should clear out some of these bugs! I mean, they're bringing out all this new stuff (which is great) but I think they should really be focusing on not as much disconnecting, Mansion probs, etc, etc. I'm all for new stuff but at what point does VMK become bug-less? The simple answer is - never. All this new stuff will just create new bugs. And I'm not saying they're not working on it, I know they're doing all they can but... Right now, I can't even get a Mansion game done. I don't know if it's my computer or VMK but one thing's for sure - something's wrong.
~Q/S
Waterelement 09-25-2006, 09:54 PM - dances around in circles -
Yay!
Nedakh 09-25-2006, 09:54 PM No You get them each time you win POTC game
Level 1 Bronze Key
Level 2 Silver Key
Level 3 Gold Key
You can only use them once but you can get more of them
When you use a key, you may win something. It's random what you win. And besides the Coral Magic, there are two other new items in the treasure chests.
LAXplaya1346 09-25-2006, 09:59 PM I'm hoping the new halloween room that might have been mentioned in the calendar is like a trick-or-treat street
TravisSch 09-25-2006, 10:01 PM I'm with Runo in Central Plaza but he isn't wearing the new staff costume.
Quibbles 09-25-2006, 10:02 PM Wow! im a little upset about the magic e xpiring. But heck, i dont use my magic anyway... :rolleyes:
The new staff shirts are awesome! i want that boy tour guide shirt.... :Tongue:
And being able to wear 15 pins?!? thats some of the best news ive heard in VMK History! Ill be able to wear ALL my HOST_ game pins ( i have all of them :D )
New hair @.o Yay! i wonder what it will look like... maybe the longer hair for boys ( that goes down to the ears ). then long straight hair and curly hair for girls. But why do girls get 2 new hair styles and boys only get one?
gigarichard 09-25-2006, 10:04 PM New hair @.o Yay! i wonder what it will look like... maybe the longer hair for boys ( that goes down to the ears ). then long straight hair and curly hair for girls. But why do girls get 2 new hair styles and boys only get one?
I would like that kind of boys hair also

adorablepup 09-25-2006, 10:14 PM omg thats so cool new magic,costumes,stuff cant wait!
PrincessAnnO 09-25-2006, 10:16 PM You know, I remember someone on the forums coming up with that uniform idea a LONG time ago. If I had the time right now, I'd begin the search...how 'bout one of you save me that time and find it before I get home again this evening (you have 'til around 9pm eastern)? I'm telling you it's already here somewhere...I remember the suggestion of it looking like the uniforms in the park...I'm guessing it was sometime in Sept or Oct last year. Let's see who we need to congratulate for the idea!
By the way, all these new changes are way too exciting! Thanks staff!
SpinMarty 09-25-2006, 10:19 PM I just wanted to mention that a year ago here in the forums we
TOTALLY CALLED

already people will have the idea to copy the staff costumes now. Luckily, with new shirts atleast, players can tell staff from non-staff. Woot!
BelieveNTheMagic 09-25-2006, 10:27 PM Yahoo! More awesome items! Anyways, I have a feeling Green flips will be avalible since Staff are getting a new look!
In the newsletter it said green flips and green ears will not be sold :rolleyes:

Yeah, I don't think it was a good idea to use the skirt and the shoes. They could take it out again, but too many people have it. I'm glad that they have new shirts, I'd go crazy if half of the girls in VMK pretended to be staff. Many of them would be banned. I hope VMK knows what they're doing. Other than that, the new outfit is cute xD
I'll miss the green one, though. lol

Read the Halloween Hijinx part and it should tell you there :D

Has it already came out? I thought that it would be out in October. Maybe it is just a "Me error."

GreenGirlJess 09-26-2006, 12:51 AM Oh wow, the new staff costumes are awesome.
And YESS! They are releasing the cowboy again.
And, new hair? I hope there is a ponytail.
Bellezza 09-26-2006, 01:02 AM to excited to handle self (bursts in million peices) lol anyway i cant wait for that stuff i am so getting a headress baby
Speedy_Bear 09-26-2006, 01:32 AM That might be one of the mystery items.
My guess would be that another costume would not be the wystery item, but rather furniture, or dare I say, Turn into Bat Magic (one time use?LOL).

I don't think I am a fan of the red ears.

Red is my favorite color! why does it have to be staff ears?! :Embar:

But this means no red ears for Pinky. :(
oh well. XD
Neoteny 09-26-2006, 03:07 AM As much as I love the look of the new staff uniforms, they're certainly going to make staff harder to pick out of a crowd.
The bright green ears were very noticeable.

It will be easy to spot any staff member now because nobody except staff wear red ears.
Roxychick 09-26-2006, 03:39 AM when are they coming out??
Neoteny 09-26-2006, 03:46 AM It will be easy to spot any staff member now because nobody except staff wear red ears.
Green's just more noticeable than red. Well, unless you're color-blind.
jamiewe 09-26-2006, 06:29 AM So there's a possibility of getting Coral magic? and it goes away after you use it? That stinks.
Can you only get the keys once each? That stinks too.
Yup and i stink to isn't? :D
Neoteny 09-26-2006, 06:32 AM Really, any guesses as to what Coral Magic might do? It doesn't sound very exciting from the name....
cteddiesgirl 09-26-2006, 07:08 AM I traded my life away for a headdress and now it will be on sale. :( Now it won't be rare. And why does Yavn say cowboy vest and not suit? Woot for those with the gray haunted mansion suits! Thx Yavn for letting us know, your the greatest.
I know. I wonder if the pants and the hat will be released.
There will be so many people with only part of a costume if they don't. :(
this rerelease comes with a price of not having the costume rare.
But, they will be rare again. There are always people leaving and not giving away their stuff and always new people coming. :)
And YESS! They are releasing the cowboy again.
No. It only says Cowboy Vest. Not pants, not hat. Not costume. :( I truly hope they do release these.
why did they have to.. why.. :(
Red is my favorite color! why does it have to be staff ears?! :Embar:
- Ace
I know. Lots of people I know were so hoping to get red ears for Christmas. Including me. I absolutely love red!
Maybe a brighter red for us? Since those look like a dark red. :) I want my Christmas ears!
As much as I love the look of the new staff uniforms, they're certainly going to make staff harder to pick out of a crowd.
The bright green ears were very noticeable.
Yes, those ears are. They almost glow. Even though I don't like green much, I love those ears! :)
It will be easy to spot any staff member now because nobody except staff wear red ears.
It was easy to spot any staff member with those glowing green ears. :)
And no one else has them either. :)
TopazR 09-26-2006, 08:07 AM As much as I love the look of the new staff uniforms, they're certainly going to make staff harder to pick out of a crowd.
The bright green ears were very noticeable.
I'm just hoping/figuring the red ears in game will be brighter than the picture shows. More "metallic-ish". Both the current green, and the gold have that shiney metallic sheen to them.

No red ears for Christmas? That's ok. As long as we get Santa hats with ears. :mickeysanta:

Tris-Remix 09-26-2006, 11:30 AM Lets just hope for VMK to become the best thing ever! I cannot control myself really. I'm jumping and dancing around :Tongue: Why couldn't they release green ears? Ooo! Santa with ears, Im wearing that all year!
hmm i wonder if the green ears and flips come out bear with me on this it never said they werent coming out it said the werent coming out for halloween you ppl need to read a little better
bellhop_andy 09-26-2006, 12:05 PM i unhappy now bc i thought that they would bring new and decent items out, but they are just bringing out old items mainly. I might but Black hm, but thats about it. I want new magic. And the staff seem like they only want new items for themselves, like just walking round i posh clothes. Im sorry i fell so sad about this, but i just really bored rofl. So yea i looking forward to the mystery items i suppose rofl.
Oh and i hope they come out with a whole range of ears lol. like they got most colors now, but there could be ones like purple.. etc.. you get my point lol.
Tris-Remix 09-26-2006, 12:09 PM Hey, I just remembered on the new player screenw here you start to make a character and then it says red words blah blah blah, the dude got green ears! Wouldn't they gotta change that?
Angel Fancy 09-26-2006, 01:19 PM http://img158.imageshack.us/img158/8927/newsletter20060925modoutfitssy3.jpg
Housemaid Hula LOL
Seriously, those look like housemaid uniforms.
LOL! I think they look like school uniforms. They are soooooo cute. I love them.
But I thought I read somewhere that we would get different color ears. I guess not huh? Angel Fancy :wave2:
Qui-gon 09-26-2006, 02:03 PM My question is why change the suits? I mean, yes, some people have green flips and green baggy pants but they have the green ears. I can always tell a staff apart from a normal person. There really is no reason. I guess they just want a thing that no one has, something official.
But that brings up another thing - what about the old staff suit? Will they release the ears? Will they re-release the pants and flips? Only time will tell I guess.

berryu 09-26-2006, 02:25 PM But that brings up another thing - what about the old staff suit? Will they release the ears? Will they re-release the pants and flips? Only time will tell I guess.
Actually, acording to the newsletter, they are not releaseing the green ears and re-releasing green flips. Its actually been posted a lot now, guess ppl skip somthing...
(Don't worry, i skip everything;) )
Neoteny 09-26-2006, 03:18 PM I thought we were assuming Coral Magic to be the mysterious TICMP...?
Turn Into Coral Magic Pin?
Why would we want to turn into coral? That sounds like even less fun than being Buried in Treasure.

I think this is an excellent change. They "why" may be as simple as making staff genuinely unique and distinct and looking more "staff like". I've always thought that the "all green" staff outfit let them look somewhat unprofessional. Using the DL costumes is a great nod to tradition, and gives a much more professional and adult look to the staff.
Qui-gon 09-26-2006, 05:53 PM Actually, acording to the newsletter, they are not releaseing the green ears and re-releasing green flips. Its actually been posted a lot now, guess ppl skip somthing...
(Don't worry, i skip everything;) )I did read the whole article and it says they're not selling Green Flips or Green Ears for the Halloween Hijinx event. Of course, they won't sell them now but maybe in the future.

It's been asked a lot of times over the year and each time Yavn or someone else said no. But now, they change so unsuspectingly.
~Q/S
does the new staff outfit apply to testers too
MickeyForMayor 09-26-2006, 05:58 PM does the new staff outfit apply to testers too
i believe so.
ClaireGal 09-26-2006, 06:17 PM I'm sad that cowboy pants aren't coming out...I traded mine away thinking they would come back...and i still have my cowboy vests
oh well that's the way it goes but all the other stuff excites me
NEW HAIR!!!
MickeyForMayor 09-26-2006, 06:23 PM i just hope the hair is long and wavy not like bald or something... i don't want to be bald X_X
SpaceJack 09-26-2006, 06:50 PM People need to remember. Native American Suit has Cowboy Pants and shoes.
Maribeth 09-26-2006, 08:14 PM does the new staff outfit apply to testers too
I doubt that, as since they are switching to the tour guide outfit, it doesn't make much sense. The testers are sort of behind the scenes, so why would they get a tour guide outfit? I think they will stick with the blue, or maybe change secretively, or perhaps change later on. However, if they do change I would love to see blue ears.
Which brings up another point. They would have also said they were'nt going to sell blue ears if they were going to change the outfits.
Or they are going to change but they don't tell us yes or no directly, leaving the blue ears to be a mystery item.
Only time will tell I suppose.
Neoteny 09-26-2006, 08:34 PM I'm looking forward to the mystery items. I hope we're not disappointed!
Also, Yavn didn't mention anything about returning furniture. Will we see Skeleton Chairs and Spider Web Room Dividers again this year?
davidsplanet 09-26-2006, 08:52 PM What I get from the magic pin section in the newsletter is that VMK is beginning to stray away from magic pins. I guess there will never be a magic carpet pin sold or any type of magic pin again unless it's a one time use pin, which I think will prove to be a mistake on VMK's part. And why would just the cowboy vest be sold and not whole suit?
Deeda 09-26-2006, 10:19 PM to excited to handle self (bursts in million peices) lol anyway i cant wait for that stuff i am so getting a headress baby
Yes, I must admit I'm rather stupid. I read the "headdress, baby!" part, and I misread is, thinking it said "headless baby!" Wow, am I blind or what?
Neoteny 09-26-2006, 10:26 PM A headless baby would make an interesting piece of Halloween furniture.
GryfindorGal 09-26-2006, 10:52 PM Wow, looking forward to the new realeses and changes! Bout' time we had some new hair styles. Lol.
Tris-Remix 09-26-2006, 11:00 PM A headless baby would make an interesting piece of Halloween furniture.
I bet a virtual bay be would be crying for their sister! Hmm, a poster would do. LOL, if any of you people are a mummy or duh duh, hide your bay be somewhere for October so they wont be scared :Tongue:
Cmkrebs 09-26-2006, 11:09 PM i dont like the sound of the one time use thing and how its will disapear once, to me it sound like a waste of credits, i hope it doesnt last long. some of us are trying to get one of each thing why couldnt they come up with stitch magic or something like that or ncps that are mickey and minne mouse
Adventurebry 09-26-2006, 11:14 PM i dont like the sound of the one time use thing and how its will disapear once, to me it sound like a waste of credits, i hope it doesnt last long. some of us are trying to get one of each thing why couldnt they come up with stitch magic or something like that or ncps that are mickey and minne mouse
I like that. I think thats how magic should have been in the first place. When you use snowman magic, do you get a magic feeling? No, because you did it so much. If you only do it once, I think you might really feel something "magical", and I think magic pins were meant to do that..
Anyway, I LOVE these changes. You know that feeling when you go to Disney, that great, exited feeling when you enter the park? That is a great feeling, and well, when I read this newsletter, I felt that. Not as much, a microscopic amount, but I felt it. VMK never felt like a disney game to me, I mean, I saw the castle, and the disney movies and stuff, but it just did not feel magical. I hope that when the changes come around, it will feel like a Disney game.
NOTE: These are all my opinions, and if you do not agree with them, im fine with that.
Cmkrebs 09-26-2006, 11:19 PM maybe we should send a complant note to vmk and see what they say, i mean the younger crowed of vmk may like it but the older crowed think its pathetic
Adventurebry 09-26-2006, 11:26 PM maybe we should send a complant note to vmk and see what they say, i mean the younger crowed of vmk may like it but the older crowed think its pathetic
Okay, does age really matter on the computer? I could pretend im 59 and use large words, good grammer, and flawless spelling. I bet I could trick anybody. I think we are all the same age online, but again, thats my opinion. And, do you speak for the whole "older crowed"? I think everybody needs change once in awhile.
123goffoym123 09-26-2006, 11:30 PM i have a question it says new site did that change happen and my computer didn't change or what?
Cmkrebs 09-26-2006, 11:31 PM i havent seen no new changes, that makes me mad, i come home from school and think ok there will be something new about vmk and when i get home i see nothing!
Chaelle 09-27-2006, 12:25 AM I better have the staff girl red skirt just in case it becomes the new 'green flips'
Yay for staff costumes! They are so adorable!
~Chaelle
Exoxus 09-27-2006, 12:36 AM EW!
Jake and Haley scare me.
I liked the old page..
AstroCool_Dude 09-27-2006, 12:37 AM Yea Jake and haley are weird 0_o but i like the rest but anyone know what happened to the newsletter?!
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 12:58 AM the newsletter is there i looked at it already
TripleM 09-27-2006, 12:59 AM this new page is awesome!!!
Neoteny 09-27-2006, 12:59 AM Too much popping! Stop the popping noises! Please! Stop the popping!
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 01:01 AM Too much popping! Stop the popping noises! Please! Stop the popping!
yes please! add the fireworks music i love that muisc
Qui-gon 09-27-2006, 01:03 AM Jack and Haley...okay. That's probably the worst thing on there. Colorwise, I think it's good but I liked it better when they had different pages. It's something I'm going to have to get used to.
~Q/S
Neoteny 09-27-2006, 01:03 AM What was wrong with the old Website?
Why don't they work on giving us new things in the game, or on fixing things that are actually broken, like the disconnection problem?
Who needs a new VMK home page?
adorablepup 09-27-2006, 01:04 AM who is jake and haley?
Neoteny 09-27-2006, 01:09 AM who is jake and haley?
That's a very good question. Why introduce new, generic "host" characters instead of use existing characters like Push, The Yeti, Captain Blackheart, and so on?
Haley and Jake don't seem particularly interesting to me.
AstroCool_Dude 09-27-2006, 01:10 AM I agree *yawns* YAVN WHY?
EDIT: Anyone else notice Jake and Haley are from Amerecin Dragon?
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 01:20 AM i liked the old page what ever happend to ask vmk host where the interview the vmk host people, on that subject did u notice on that that they never did host lilly or hula or yavn
just my 2 cents but i bet the new hair and the treasure chests will be out tomorrow cause they are minor changes and they can do them fast
berryu 09-27-2006, 01:37 AM Yay!
If thats so then, prepare me ship, tommorow i will be battling scallywags and port royals!
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 01:37 AM they could be out tomorrow, has anyone gotten those so called "keys" for the new room? if so can you please post a picture, i think this teasure magic will be a one time use or is it just me
NarniaDante 09-27-2006, 01:38 AM I agree *yawns* YAVN WHY?
EDIT: Anyone else notice Jake and Haley are from Amerecin Dragon?
LOL!!! I just noticed that! That's is so weird...that show almost got cancelled...
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 01:39 AM targ where did u get ur icon i have been looking all over the place but havent found it yet
AstroCool_Dude 09-27-2006, 03:52 AM I agree *yawns* YAVN WHY?
EDIT: Anyone else notice Jake and Haley are from Amerecin Dragon?
LOL!!! I just noticed that! That's is so weird...that show almost got cancelled...I know it's weird i mean why Jake and Haley? Why not just put a dog and an old man? lol
AlphaKoolDude 09-27-2006, 06:11 AM Omg so weird i did not notice it was new i forgot to log on today O_o
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 10:05 AM i wonder what will be differnet today

futuremartymcfly 09-27-2006, 03:14 PM is there any new things out yet today
No new items have been released, and you can still only hold 8 pins.
berryu 09-27-2006, 03:14 PM Why can't they release the stuff now.
I want it now, now now now now now!
futuremartymcfly 09-27-2006, 03:15 PM Why can't they release the stuff now.
I want it now, now now now now now!
don't worry, I'm sure stuff will be released this weekend.
i want the pretty treasure chests
ebilrules 09-27-2006, 04:33 PM i just saw the new site.. Haley's face was messed up. I saw this article last night but didn't see the the new site yet. I really miss the old one.
cooldad210 09-27-2006, 07:14 PM the old one is better
Nedakh 09-27-2006, 07:16 PM Also keep in mind that this is the first part of the redesign. More options and changes will come.
Schmoofy 09-27-2006, 07:24 PM Also keep in mind that this is the first part of the redesign. More options and changes will come.Oh sweet, so do you think the irratating popping will go away?
Annaso 09-27-2006, 07:46 PM Um, I might seemd a little dumb when I say this, but in the newsletter, it only says things about cowboys VESTS, not the full costume...does this mean they won't be releasing the FULL outfit? And what about grey mansion suits? Those aren't gonna be for sale? Aw man, could someone please help?
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 07:47 PM it would be nice if vmk released something new on sertain days besides releasing something just on the weekends and please stop the popping, its driving me crazy
vmkstar99 09-27-2006, 07:51 PM That might be one of the mystery items.
True, let's sit back and see :)
Cmkrebs 09-27-2006, 07:55 PM here is something one of the testers had on today

Neoteny 09-27-2006, 09:01 PM Is Coral a character from some Disney movie or something? Because that picture sure doesn't look like any coral I've ever seen....
olpmcgvmk 09-27-2006, 09:25 PM Davy jones magic!!!???

MickeyForMayor 09-28-2006, 12:26 AM that hair was in beta as i recall. im sorry i don't think thats the new one. at least i think so...
DCSMickeyMan 09-28-2006, 12:28 AM I'm pretty sure that's the old form of mickey ears, and not a new hairstyle.
olpmcgvmk 09-28-2006, 12:29 AM that hair was in beta as i recall. im sorry i don't think thats the new one. at least i think so...
Beta well maby but then why would it be there maby there reinstating it
i hope it not that i was really hoping for what jessie mcartney had
Maribeth 09-28-2006, 12:32 AM Looks more like seaweed than coral to me, maybe they weren't thinking clearly during design.. Needed a little more coffee. ;)
Maybe I'll see some while I go scuba diving in a couple weeks =D
I think those are the beta mickey ears; if not that is some really ugly hair.
Come to think of it, it that was hair that totally demotes the purpose of black mickey ears. Just another scam. :/
olpmcgvmk 09-28-2006, 12:32 AM i hope it not that i was really hoping for what jessie mcartney had
Lol ok no plz none of that. Mabey thell give out an afro
Cmkrebs 09-28-2006, 12:40 AM i have been on vmk for a long time and i never understood what beta means can someone tell me?
AstroCool_Dude 09-28-2006, 12:44 AM I think that it means back when VMK first opened aorund that time like the beta days
what the cooles hair for boys on vmk now is spiked and that went at to years ago
SuperJaekizzle 09-28-2006, 12:52 AM Its not even out yet
Cmkrebs 09-28-2006, 12:54 AM i cant wait until friday when something new will be out
AstroCool_Dude 09-28-2006, 12:54 AM what the cooles hair for boys on vmk now is spiked and that went at to years agoCooles Hair? Spiked? HUH?:confused:
Cmkrebs 09-28-2006, 12:55 AM yea im confuesed on that too
AstroCool_Dude 09-28-2006, 12:56 AM LOL i am REALLY confused on it
Cmkrebs 09-28-2006, 01:25 AM did u notice on the high score for hm are low, i have gotten alot more then them whats up with that
winniesdapooh 09-28-2006, 01:43 AM i am going to buy doubles of every new costume (except the girl ones), i have been saving up a lot and i have enough :-)
iShadow 09-28-2006, 03:40 AM i have a question, sorry if it was already answered.. but does anybody know how to get the POTC keys? what happens if you already are on level three? thx
you get a key every time you win on a level it makes more since to do it that way bc all the new magic is 1 time use only which is really cool if you think about it that the magic is easier to get anyway read a little better on the newsletter
GryfindorGal 09-28-2006, 06:18 PM any say on when these new realeses will come out? I'm expecting some buzz on the weekends around VMK. That's when I'm hoping they'll start releasing!
Eeyorevf 09-30-2006, 02:03 PM That sounds so cool I can't wait.
Deeda 09-30-2006, 02:04 PM Cooles Hair? Spiked? HUH?:confused:
Haha! Hear, hear! I don't like the spiked hair anyway, it makes everyone look preppy. LOL I just kinda hate it. I made a boy character and I put spiky hair on it - BAM! Every girl was all over me. It was scary...@_@ I've never seen the Esplanade so excited!
Cmkrebs 09-30-2006, 06:45 PM since the dc monster is gone, it just makes jungle cruise game slower and the same with haunted manison
Penguinz 09-30-2006, 07:33 PM This is so exciting! I can't WAIT for the new magic to...
OMG! Mystery Item! It could be magic!! It's the PERFECT time!
Cmkrebs 09-30-2006, 07:34 PM i hope its not the one time use magic
Princess716 09-30-2006, 08:05 PM sweet!!!!! are they already out? if not i can't wait till they are!!
PinkPokaDots 09-30-2006, 09:55 PM I remember that last year in halloween too many people were trying to impersonate (sp?) staff and lots of people were banned for it so maybe their costume change was so nobody could impersonate staff this year, but the boots and skirt look very similar to the ones we alreay have.
gamemaster720 10-01-2006, 01:33 PM Yavn said in the newsletter green ears won't be buyable. Sorry! :(
He said they wouldn't be BUYABLE. Maybe they'll be in the Series 3 quests! I don't know, just my insight to things :)
Ishika 10-01-2006, 01:37 PM He said they wouldn't be BUYABLE. Maybe they'll be in the Series 3 quests! I don't know, just my insight to things :)
I seriuosly don't think members will ever get green ears or should get them. I admit they're pretty awesome and all, but then, new members may mistaken them for staff... or at least the people that don't know that the staff won't be wearing green ears anymore. You see where I'm going with this?
Tomorrowkid 10-01-2006, 01:46 PM OMG!! i cant wait to see the staff wearingTHAT!!
CrAzyEm 10-01-2006, 02:50 PM I remember that last year in halloween too many people were trying to impersonate (sp?) staff and lots of people were banned for it so maybe their costume change was so nobody could impersonate staff this year, but the boots and skirt look very similar to the ones we alreay have.
yes they do. i have the red skirt that looks like the staff one and the shoes look like the HM ones. are they wearing the new uniforms today?
Tanimalcrossing 10-01-2006, 03:49 PM hey if you said something in the first post about if its out, just an idea, that'd be coolio
wdwdreamer 10-01-2006, 06:36 PM when does the magic treasure chest start?

VMKJen 10-01-2006, 08:35 PM anything new today in vmk, i havent be able to log in cuz i need to put shockwave on my familys new computer
no nothing is new in vmk today.
Extras 10-01-2006, 09:17 PM i am not sure but i hope its not a one time use!
It clearly states it is one time use.
Neoteny 10-02-2006, 02:43 AM Just think of the one-time magic as a code, so you can only use it once.
Cmkrebs 10-03-2006, 02:06 AM when i was on vmk i noticed some cool thing, main street was decoraded, so was the haunted manison the loading bar was orange, the ghosts in haunted mansion got more funiture and the loading page said happy halloween that was cool.
some people said u can get bat magic again im not sure if this is true, i was in all of the store but the inner space shop can someone tell me if this is just a rumor?
what was the mystrey item, was it the jack o latern bags?
i like the crowns for the guys!
wow vmk wtg
oh and i had trouble playing hm
AstroCool_Dude 10-03-2006, 02:08 AM Actually it is the crown for boys thats the mystery item
Neoteny 10-03-2006, 03:42 AM some people said u can get bat magic again im not sure if this is true, i was in all of the store but the inner space shop can someone tell me if this is just a rumor?
Bat Magic is in the Emporium under Specials.
Cmkrebs 10-03-2006, 06:23 PM i didnt see, ill look again, how much is it
Neoteny 10-03-2006, 06:27 PM 10,000 credits for the permanent pin, or 200 per single-use.
AstroCool_Dude 10-03-2006, 07:16 PM I wonder if they will make single use inferno 0_o
futuremartymcfly 10-03-2006, 10:33 PM I now see why single use is so hated, it drives me crazy not being able to use TICMP
Neoteny 10-03-2006, 10:45 PM I now see why single use is so hated, it drives me crazy not being able to use TICMP
You are able to use it. Just only once.
