Slowness of Getting on VMK - VMK Forums - Virtual Magic Kingdom Online Community, Forums & Fansite

Ever since 2 days ago, I have been having to wait atleast 10 minutes for vmk to load @_@
This is seriously annoying. 0_0
What is up with this?

When I first joined VMK back in June, I had this problem also and thought it was my slow computer. (Even though its not slow o_o)
After halloween, It started to load MUCH faster, but now it is back to the way it was when I first joined >_<

And It takes forever for characters to load and such and my clothes take forever to load and this NEVER happened!

I REALLY need help because if it isn't solved, I'm quitting cause it takes me 10 minutes for vmk to load, 5 minutes for peoples stupid swirling blue bodys to load, and 5 minutes+ for my furnish and clothes to load totalling up to over 20 minutes..

Do you reccomend me sending this to Contact us? IDK just help pls

Yeah, I joined, like, the first day VMK opened and it took forever. I could understand that; hello, brand new game, they have some bugs, of course!

I really was not expecting that 2 YEARS into the game, it would still load slow. But there again, can you blame them? Some people ONLY get on VMK to get the items when they take a break; so really, there are massive amounts of people trying to all log in at once.

i've also noticed this.
vmk was slow, so i cleared my cookies and all that bad trojan-virus stuff, to try and make it faster.
My computer is lightning fast, VMK- isnt.

I've noticed this problem, too. I joined about a week after VMK started, and everything was totally fine! But now, it takes me 20+ minutes to log in, 10 minute for my clothing to load, and about 2 minutes for my furnish to load. Its bothersome.

I've been noticing this as well. My computer's very fast as well, and it still takes a long time for it to load. Yet another reason that I don't play VMK much anymore...

It was taking me about 15 minutes to load too then we did a defrag on the computer and now it loads fast again. It started for me many months ago too. We even bumped up my memory and it didnt help until we did defrag.
try and see if it doesnt help you too.

Ermm. I'm not as you would say ' hi-tech ' What and how do I de-frag my computer?

MinniesDream · #9 01-15-2008, 09:57 PM

It's loading fine for me now. However, going on at night (at around 6:00), when everyone is on, I either can't get on, or it loads a bit slower than it usually does.

congrats choco
did you do anything different?

MinniesDream · #11 01-15-2008, 10:34 PM

Nope. I think it was just that it was a weekend, etc.

izzie · #12 01-15-2008, 11:21 PM

Im not enjoying this - its still happening
and I have sent a more detailed message to contact us

izzie · #13 01-21-2008, 11:32 PM

Update; Contact us sent me a detailed message of how to fix it. It had a list of about 10 things to do (all of them each being a individual suggestion) I did 3 of them, and VMK Is continuing to be like this.

I still need more advice, please help!

TheMagicWithin · #14 01-21-2008, 11:33 PM

But this morning... Uh.. Not so good. Too many people are getting on...

Click on "start" -> Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> Disk Defragmenter.

You should get a gray box that pops up. Click on "Defragment". It will run in the background. I'd recommend doing this while you aren't trying to run other programs.

Also, in general, VMK has been running slow for a LOT of people. Could be the times of day, could be the days. Just be patient, I'm sure it will resolve itself.
