I bought that pin in 2005, I remember buying it for some reason. Great pin, was one of my favorites.

I remember everything there, I can also tell you that I read that newsletter in the morning when only Up and Topaz were online, and I sat on the couch instead of my chair. Then on the chat and said... omg new staff outfits. Those outfits are the best thing ever..

Woot, thanks for the post again Up.

Wow, what memories that all brings back! VMK really did bring together a bunch of strangers and turn them all into friends didnt it?

TheBird 09-23-2008 07:19 PM

I liked Haley's and Jake's Blog.

Matterz 09-23-2008 08:09 PM

Brings back the good and bad memories.
I missed the CL's once they left.
We should've known the closing was coming..
Disney would never get rid of the workers inside a regular kingdom.
Why should the Virtual Kingdom be different?

EtnaGreen 09-24-2008 08:09 PM

I loved the new staff outfit changes, they look alot similar to the uniforms that people who work at main street have to wear.

Pisces 09-24-2008 09:44 PM

Yeah the new outfits were great :D it's so weird... it seems like so recent everything in VMK happened...

ACECpt.RICH 09-25-2008 12:44 AM

I was never really a fan of the tron items. I unfortunately didn't have the opportunity to get the room (which I wanted). I did like the pin set though!

Does this mean VMK is going to end?
No. The game continues going strong – and we've got some exciting additions coming in the next few months – so stay tuned! Plus, you can still go Questing in-Park at Walt Disney World.
That's something depressing to read...
