Save VMK!

This has been posted on 12 different forums, and I would like to quote a few people right now.

You may be over the Kingdom by now, you may think you are too "cool" or to old. Well, if you are too "cool" to play VMK, are you too cool to go to the Disney Parks? Virtual Magic Kingdom was a wonderful thing, it doesn't matter if you disagree, it was. Without VMK, you wouldn't have met most of your online friends. VMK was a safe enviroment where you could talk to others in a safe enviroment. I've never seen a game so safe in my life. It was a place you could go to Disney for free at your home. I really want to make VMK come back, more than anything. It meant so much to me and to see everyone just give up trying to save it breaks my heart. VMK wasn't a game or a promotion in my eyes, it was a home.


Now, I think we should all come together and try to save it. We've tried making remakes of it, that doesn't work. It's proabably easier to get VMK back from Disney than try to make your own exact VMK remake. I'm sure some of you are going to say, "just get over it." No. I'm not going to get over it, why can't you just understand it meant alot to me. Why can't you just help us save it? The more people we get the better chance we have at making it return. This isn't going to work without everyones help. So please, help me save VMK.

We will be the people tasked with cleaning up the aftermath of the economic disaster we are in right now. We will most likely be tasked with cleaning up the environment. If kids think that they can't do anything, the world will not be such a great place once we are older.
While VMK was a great game, saving it does more than bring a game back. And it's for that reason that I kindly ask you to take a moment and think about why you put down the save VMK movement. It's not just a game anymore. Now it's time to get over our past failures and do something.

3. Start up a petition to show demand, start emailing.
Are you in?

VMK isn't coming back.

Give it a year or so until everyone realizes it.

I don't believe VMK is coming back, therefore I am not "in" on saving it.

Loved the game, I would play it again but I feel it's past saving.

When will this ever die? It's been almost a year and a half. We tried to save it, we failed. End of story. No need to keep trying.

If there's anything the arcade ever taught me, it's that if you want to see something through to the end, you should expect to fail. A lot. But whenever that happens, you've just gotta shove in another quarter and pick yourself back up.

i don't think it'll come back... maybe if there's another disney promotion whatever thing

but..
WAHHH I WANT IT TO COME BACK

i don't think trying would really make much of a difference though, unfortunately.
we've..... already done like, everything

but it can't hurt to

Then we can do, like, everything again.

I'm probably pretty dumb for not realizing it earlier on in the game, but VMK would have never re-opened that first year after it closed. Why? Because it would have made Disney seem unsure of their decisions, and would have put off some of their stockholders.

Now that VMK is pretty much forgotten, however... Who knows?

No need to keep trying? Despite whether you support the save vmk movement, to tell someone to stop doing something they believe is harsh for the lack of a better word. We failed? After vmk closed thousands of emails, letters, phone calls, etc. were sent to Disney, and we received several responses from Disney. If you ask me that is not a failure. A failure is when every last person stops trying.

Eh...heh.
Anyways, I do believe that VMK can come back if we are willing to devote time to emailing the Disney team, etc.

As much as I'd love to have VMK back, I think it's way past saving.. But good luck to those who will try. (:
