WDIG did not think how many kids they hurt.
Millions of kids played VMK, but then they broke their hearts and shut it down. Next time I go anywhere, (theme park wise) I will wear a save VMK shirt.. JOIN IT TOO!

I like how you answer your own question right away hehe
Hello and welcome to the forums. My name is bluedudeman, and I have been here since 2005 I think. I don't know. Anyways we're super friendly here, most of the time jk, we're all pretty good friends. It's a real tight community but we always have room for another awesome person I hope you enjoy your time here! Anyways, on to the main topic. Yeah, I think they probably knew that a lot of people cared about the game... I'm sure someone brought it up during the closing days of VMK, so I bet that the staff/WDIG thought about it. But hey, I mean I personally don't look at Disney and say "oh they just did it because you know, they're the bad guys!" I don't fault them for their decision. We don't know a whole lot about the situation, so they way I look at it, there must have been a good reason to close it. Good idea with the save VMK shirt, I probably won't be doing that... but I might I don't know Good idea though :P I really miss VMK. Welcome to the forums

To say that millions played is a hyperbole (which is a word that I just realized a week ago is pronounced hye-per-bullly and not hyper-bowl), but a thousands did. And it was really popular. And for them to close it was stupid.
I know my heart was broken. When Yavn first made the announcement, I cried, and the night it closed, I cried. BTW, welcome to the forums!! |

Maybe million(s) is, but I wouldn't TOTALLY doubt a single million... maybe I don't know the exact numbers..

I don't think they intended to hurt anyone. In their eyes I assume they thought that we would all go to one of their other games and continue on with our lives. I'm sure they expected everyone to be upset, but I don't think they expected everyone to get as upset as they did. It took me a while to realize, but they were right. You just need to keep moving forward.

Yeah......but Disney also failed to realize that maybe we weren't interested in any of their other games.
Maybe we didn't want to be a Penguin, or a Pirate, or a Fairy, or a Car, or....well, you know what I mean...... |

Disney announced at the beginning of VMK that it was a promotional game for a Disney anniversary, I forgot which one, but anyways.
Disney planned to close VMK down after one year. They left it open after that because we wanted them to, and they had so many people playing, that it was good advertising. After a few years, population actually started to decline, and because it was a free game, Disney was using their money to keep it running. They closed it down because they had a set amount of money to use for it, and were running out of that money. I moved on from VMK. It was fun while it lasted, but now? I play Pirates, Toontown, AND Pixie Hollow. I find those game twice as fun as VMK was. (Especially Pirates, I mean, ships and cannons are awesome. The VMK Pirates game was just way too hard for me :P)

Pirates is fun, just not fun enough. Toontown? Meh only if you pay. And pixie hollow?
Well I'm a guy, but the game doesn't appeal.

I was upset that it closed too. But they probably thought that they could close the game and the players would be paying customers of the other online games. That's why they gave out free 30 day unlimited passes to Toontown and POTCO (some of which I still have but no longer work, ). But in the end, it's all a business.

When I first thought about it, after I stopped crying, I thought that it would be fine. Then it closed. WDIG knew how many played it. They knew how special it was. They knew what they were doing to us. More then 5,000 players a day.. Little kids, pre-teens. VMK was an escape to people, like me, and they just took it away. I keep saying that they just don't care about us. Sadly. We are kids, even teens. They think we will get over it. I honestly think that I will never get over it. VMK will always be in my heart. I will never forgive them. Almost 3 years later and I am still in the denial stage. I don't want to believe its gone. It still makes me cry.

You know, I guess I am over the closing of VMK. I mean, I never think of the actual game anymore, just this site. So I guess I'm over VMK, I mean yeah if it came back I'd play right away but I'm not thinking about it anymore. Maybe this is why I'm making a big deal over us not having a lot to talk about anymore, because I don't really see it as a VMK forum, I just see it as a forum kinda now haha. Makes sense to me.

Hi newbie~ Can I call you VMK, or do you have a name that you would much rather go by? *waves* I'm Vivi, formerly known as Vienna. I tend to drift around, but I know most of the people here. (I wonder if they still think of me as their own...) Last edited by Jezzi; 01-29-2011 at 07:22 PM.. Reason: non-g |

I got 2 of each, . But I was only wise enough to use one toontown pass because I thought they would never expire. I was kind of dumb lol. Oh well, I'll just wait for that one weekend when it's unlimited access for everyone.

Probably one of the big reasons that I didn't really have a huge problem with it right away was because I had taken like, an eight month break, went back to VMK.com and I was like... "oh it's been closed for months..."
