Did You Expect VMK to Close This Soon?

[DiamondMeme]

Boycott Disney? No way. I agree wit awesomered cause wouldn't u want to spend ye last days having fun and enjoying that vmk is still open a little bit?

[Fattback]

NO WAY!! i that it would last forever ( exageration )

For a while, I thought it would outlast those 10 year bans, but when they closed VMK Central at both parks, I figured it was only a matter of time. When they took VMK prizes out of DMR, I was really worried. Then the megaquest gave me some hope that they would keep torturing us for years to come, so this struck me as somewhat of a surprise when it happened.

No it is not going to turn 3, because beta VMK opened May 23, 2005. There would of been only 2 days till it turned 3.

But then, VMK did some things that made me change my mind, and think "hey, VMK might be sticking around after all". They came out with all the wonderful Gingerbread items at Christmas time and hosted "the first *annual* Gingerbread contest" (leads you to believe there will be more in the future) they added the Magic Shop, they released the first take of the Card Trading Game, added the Penny Arcade, started releasing real versions of the VMK pins (tiki and pirate), hired new staff, had new things in the newsletter (Esmeralda's Trivia, Pirate Vinnie, etc.) and created Bella's specials in the Emporium.

So, while I knew VMK wouldn't be around forever, I certainly wasn't expecting it to go away so soon. I thought they were breathing new air into the game recently, trying new things (the big quest), and going forward with their commitment to the game.

Yeah, what's the point of saying the first annual _____ when there won't ever be a second? They've been adding all of this cool stuff only to tell us that we only have a month left to enjoy it.

The least they could do would be to close VMK 3 days later than they planned. This would make it a Saturday so the players could play all day and it would also be the 24th. VMK would then be 3 years and 1 day old.


Big Mistake Disney! Big Mistake!

I always knew that VMK would someday close it's gates forever but never expected it this soon or this quickly. I thought there would be an announcement several months not weeks before closing. This almost makes it seem like "Okay we are over you - we're closing VMK...NOW".

I agree. This is almost like saying, that we only have a few weeks left to live because of how close some/most of us are to VMK.

Yes, it may have been made as a promo originally, but it was kept longer, so there's no real reason it's closing. They say it's because it was a promo, but it's become more than a promo -- a great game that people of all ages like to play. It could be kept as a normal game and not be thought of as a promo.

I cant not belive it but its over.Im sad and mad at disney,and to think this day would never come.I sayed no.In the meantime...

Thanks a million Yavn!

[SillyBrightPuppy]

Well I kinda did and did not.
I had a fear of it closing after most of the stuff from it in the parks was taken away.
But I am still sad, but I am also thankful for what Yavn and the vmk staff
made.
Thanks guys

I really did not see it closing its like i just joined last summer and i was looking forward to playing this summer

[Ewika]

I did expect it to. Although I did not expect it to end so quickly. Without VMK I feel a whole part of me is gone. I mean Disney kept the Parade of Dreams from the 50th anniversery, so why don't they keep VMK?

[Tris-Remix]

I put I dont care because it would close sooner or later, but i was thinkig around 2010ish

[crushandgush]

I wonder if we can move the closing date to september 30, 2008. That is the day on the cards.
