So what have you done for the Saving VMK movement?

First of all,
I have raised awareness to basically all my friends and even started a save vmk group on a social networking site who has a growing amount of members, many whom did not play VMK but still many who are interested.

I have also been sending letters and trying to get my friends who know people that are influential in the Disney Company to raise awareness about the demand for VMK reopening.

What have you guys been doing?

Learn from one of Disney's greatest lessons, "If you can dream it, you can do it" I have dreamt of VMK coming back and I can do it..but of course not alone but with the help of many. This is a project that will need much more than a hundred people if not hundreds of thousands. I am sure that if we reach the goal of getting thousands of people to constantly demand VMK we can get it back!

PS: This thread is not for you to turn down all I have done, but possibly get you to try a little more in something you really want.

What have you been doing? If the answer is nothing now is the time to start...

What can you do?
Tell ALL your friends to help you... I happen to have friends living in any places and some know people that are Disney Legends and Imagineers. Maybe if we spread the word someone can personally tell Bob Iger or Paul Yanover about the demand for our precious VMK!

Guys trust me on this one I am sure that if we do this we can get VMK back up and running or at least draw Disney's attention to the game once more.

I have created a Save VMK shirt that I will wear around Disney World ^_^
I know it's not much but it's a start for me.
Also, being a Disney Imagineer is my DREAM!

If the answer is nothing, then I can very well keep doing nothing, because being a realist, I realize that it is a lost cause. Honestly, it's been a year. Fact of the matter is, Disney has no obligation to do anything, and they are very much like any other supply-demand business. There is a small demand, and it would be a bad move to open VMK again, money-wise. It renders no profit, and they could be putting their money towards better things, things that will generate some revenue.

As much fun as dreaming is, you've got to come to terms with reality at some point or another. Have a good nap, come back when you wake up..

Statistics have proven that more people played VMK than payed for toontown online and POTC online. So that is why I say there is still hope for VMK to open. The demand for those online games does not surpass the demand VMK had. The only online game Disney has that could compete with VMK was club penguin but even there less than 15% of the players actually pay for the game. Most people on ToonTown or POTC online are on a trial or under a promotion. (Disney does not make most of its profits from online games therefore it does not give them as much attention as it does many many other aspects of the company) VMK did effectively increase interest in attending the parks for all of its players because of the promotions available in those locations. And that is what we need to shove in Disney's face so they can get the picture. VMK was beneficial and it does not matter how you look at it I am sure if you bring the matter to the attention of the right people something can get done. Having the realist attitude never helped anyone because all great things that have happened in this world have happened against great odds ranging from the evolution of species to the creation of the United States of America. So do not tell me this cannot happen.

But... we've taken a whole year trying to think up of the right plan - they might have forgotten about it then!

In the beginning I did make concensus to sign petition, send email and such. I do email every so often just so Disney knows the subject has not been completely dropped by me, but I have so little time as a father and husband to really get immersed in being an active Save VMK activist. I can only do so much.
