Wow, I was a complete nut in VMK. I had so many personal issues in my life at the time it is only hitting me now that my issues are now at rest that I am mourning the loss of VMK. Call me crazy, but just realizing what it was to me. All the quest, getting my green car from Fireworks remixed after getting 7600 points on it. Building all the rooms I did over many hours of concentration. Meeting with my virtual friends of which I miss dearly now and may never meet again. It has been quite a year much less a weird 7 months without VMK. Do not ever forget the magic that VMK gave to so many. I am still hoping Disney will create another VMK when this economy gets better and hopefully we can get our community back as well as the magic.

Me too! That's what I did on my other accounts while my main account was sitting around watching the quest room. Sometimes I would let my other account, which happened to be the one that won my quest all the time, sit and watch the quest for me. I only told people he was my friend. I wish I had my full lanyard of 5* magic (only 3* inferno, though), full green explorer, 3-piece sparrow (no shirt), brown cowboy shirt no vest, two minnie hats, stitch hat, two mansion clocks, fire walls, and more that I had won in other people's quests during the last month back . Also, to LordIllidan: Can I have a napkin, please?

I awarded fire walls, Minnie hats, and more every day for the last 10 days in the quest. The tasks were simply to go to the 10 most popular rooms in VMK and say "Go to [a site] and sign the put.i,sun!" I do admit one thing: I used another account to play the quest super-fast and win so I could keep giving such wonderful prizes. I only actually gave away the grand prize once, and that time was because of someone who used a type-fast program like VMK Pal (I never used such a program). The second prize was usually around 3,000 credits and a pirate couch, though, and I did award those prizes. The staff probably knew, but they didn't ban me. I reported the type-fast guy, and they said "Sorry your plan didn't work " as the reply. I reported again, and they said "We couldn't find any cheating devices". I reported again, and they said, "It is impossible to cheat on a quest." I asked "Then who were the ' cheaters ' on the Blackheart quest?" They replied with "If you need assistance, please use the Contact Us form." Hmm... That still leaves an unanswered question. If it is impossible to cheat on a quest, then who were those cheaters Yavn talked about that caused VMK to quit the first Blackheart quest early? I intended this to be a short reply, but writing it brought back many memories of my Save VMK Quest.
Hehheh. Thanks for sharing. I do remember hearing alot about that quest during the last few days (I was on the forums a LOT, just not the actual game. It's easier to sneak in a quick post now and than than it is a game of pirates, especially considering load times XD), and I've really gotta thank you for that. It helped a lot.

As for the cheating thing... It's my personal opinion that VMK staff, as lovable as they were as people, and as good at they were at their jobs as moderators as they were... Were pretty incompetent in terms of more technical issues. Not just the ones we saw in-game, but the entire staff. I may praise VMK for great gameplay and concept, but... That doesn't change the almost monthly blackouts where nobody could connect, the frequent disconnects, etc. etc.

Not to mention the whole thing ran on outdated software. SHOCKWAVE? Come on, seriously. Last time I saw Shockwave before VMK was in the 90s.

That makes sense considering they bought the domain in the 90s.

Umm... I don't think anyone posted about that quest on the forums until AFTER VMK closed.

Ah, but when did they actually start production? Something like VMK doesn't take an entire decade

Unless you're the team working on Duke Nukem Forever...
