Sure Disney can be rude but if enough people stand up and have a say then what's stopping us from saving a game we all love? I mean this is 3 years of memories, 3 years of trying to earn the rare things, 3 years of vactioning in Flordia or California to get VMK items, 3 years of some of the best friends in the world that no one could ever pass up on. It's only been 3 years. If we are all quiet and don't stand up for something then why do we have mouths? What makes us different from people in the past who stood up and saved things? We are all people. We can do this.

You are ABSOLUTELY RIGHT!!

I think we can do this. If it's even pay to play

[gabyta]

if that is what they need.. make this game a pay to play game!

[gamedudegamedude]

OMG nooooooooo i cant live without vmk im depressed

[poloshia]

As if things could get any worse... Ladies and Gentlemen, the unthinkable has happened.

[gamedudegamedude]

its like disney trying to get money from us for 3 years, make us buy cards then just close vmk! YAVN UR SUCH a lier u lie GO to well um BAD WORLD!

[Misskayla]

This stinks. I can't even wrap my head around it. :'(

This truly is awful. I just sent a letter in to contact us. I can't believe I'm never going to be able to talk to some of my friends It makes me wonder how many people are going to give out personal info just to stay in touch with their friends... I hope vmk realizes what a huge affect this will have on the players.

Throughout my entire VMK experience i knew that someday vmk will close, why next month? why not in like a year or so?


During my 2 and a half years of playing i have always set goals and made new friends. I have met some of the nicest people in my life on this small little virtual game. I have reached many of my vmk goals and felt happy about it, by why should it all go down the drain. VMK is the only place where players have a good time and can share there laughter with everybody. Toontown, POTCO, and Club Penguin can't do that. Although vmk has had some bad times in it's past it is still a fun place to be.
But seriously why after the Blackheart quest? That quest caused Chaos and after reading some posts i started to cry for what it did. Why end it when almost all the magic is gone?

My plan was to take a little break from vmk bc i play it so much, now that vmk is closing im going insane.

Im going to send a message to Nick and see what will happen witht hese forums.

Disney, like most major companies, is motivated by one thing: money. My family just spent $1700 renewing our WDW annual passes and we spend a small fortune each day we are in the parks (character meals, pins). While not all of the vmk community is fortunate to visit the parks regularly, many of us do. I personally will consider spending some of that money with their competitors in the near future. I do not believe that a company whose stated purpose is to create dreams and memories (thereby making a lot of money), would allow something that would disappoint so many. If you are one of the many who believe vmk should go on, my recommendation is to contact Disney directly. Contacting vmk will likely have no impact.

Regardless, it has been a blast; thanks to all the friends I have made along the way! Take care- StitchMayhem

omg!??!!?!

Well I just emailed the online group this:

I hate that you are closing down VMK. It is a great game. It was always a good money maker even though it was not pay to play. If you need to make it pay to play then do that. People would go to Disne, buy the ceral, etc. for VMK. It has been 3 years. Thats 3 years of memories. It's like a part of peoples lives. I mean if you have a friend for 3 years you just don't get rid of them. I mean if you go like at VMK Fan Site and see how many people are upset maybe you would rethink this. I know now that Disney has been moved to the bottom of many people's favorite list and many will be looking for another company to support or even become more loyal too. VMK was award winning material. It showed parents Disney knew how to be safe online and teach kids online safety. If you can't keep something that has become like a best friend to some people then why should we keep Disney as our favorite company?

dude.. Im gonna miss all of you so much! I'll never forget any of you. I just wish we could have a year warning or something.. but a month and a half? that's totally weak

[monniedisny]

I am permanently disabled and playing this game allows me to keep my mind off the pain! I have made friends here and worked hard going to the park to get stuff which was not easy for me to do. I love playing this game bc it makes me feel like I am at Disneyland when I am not able to get there. I don't like toon town or potc its not like VMK at all! I used to play neo pets and sims and wanted a virtual game that I could play that was Disney and yeah we got VMK. I enjoy playing this and can feel the magic and like I am there in the park when I am not able to get there being disabled its not easy to. Please don't take this away from me, its the only entertainment I have! I will even pay to play this game if I have to, I love this vmk world so much better and I don't think Walt Disney would be to happy that if you have so many unhappy people to take this away. I think he would say this is a good place and nice environment for kids so keep it! You want to be all about money fine, I am sure if you make this a paid game like toon town you will have more people playing this than any other game and make money and I don't think its fair to have had us spend money at the park and then take this away from us. Please don't do this !
