Since VMK shares your sign in with most of their other sites, you should be able to keep your title, Items and most importantly Your Friends Lists. All they have to do is on may 21st give the option pay to play meaning you keep everything and pay to play like normal. $10 a month would give them and average of $70,000 A MONTH OR $840,000 A YEAR !!!! I think they should be able to run off that. Come on makes sense to me.

VMK has given us plenty of time to react to a closing.
Part of me says with all the posts about saving the game, there is a reason for the extra time.
If a game was really closing, usually it just does.
If you wanted to switch a free game to a pay per play game without upsetting even more people, you make them think they are the reason it was saved.

$10 a month is WAY too much.. just remember, we have lag, dc, LINES, etc. this game has yet to be crafted into a flawless game.. i still stick to my $12/yr. its worth no more than that.

also, if they were to do that, i would hope they would tell us this before the 21st. i have a boy account, and i'd at least like to transfer all his stuff over if i know i am going to stay.

intresting thought mrmyth. i thought the same. i would think that they would just close the site with like a weeks notice. not 2 months, slightly less than 2 months.

Maybe they should do something similar to Puzzle Pirates, where on one server non-paying members are limited with what they can "buy", while subscribers can "purchase" anything available in the "stores"; and on the other server, you can take the coins you earn and exchange them for "doubloons" that can be used to purchase anything available in the stores. It takes a lot of coins to get one "doubloon", but it would allow people to still play for free if they want to work hard at being able to get whatever items they want, but the people who can afford it and don't have a lot of time to play can use the subscription way...

I would pay, but here's my idea:

All of us who have been long time VMK players and played it as a free game should get free full access.

I don't think it should become pay to play though, because a lot of kids aren't able to pay for the parks, how will they pay for VMK?

Then, that would be alot of people playing VMK for free since VMK has always been a free game. That wouldn't really help them earn money.

They won't. They expect us to go from a FREE game to a choice of games that all cost money? I have a feeling they aren't seeing enough visitors in those games and how do you get more? Demolish one game and tell everyone from that game to go to the others.
