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.

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?

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...
