4/07/08 - Yavn Speaks: VMK CLOSES FOR GOOD!

[Spyro]

You know.. I've been playing since VMK began. I am one of the few "Here From Day 1" players still on VMK. I have built several in-game friendships with several in-game memories. Still, aside from those friendships and the memories thereof, along with other memories I have such as getting Best Guest Room and Game Room and getting my Inferno from the since retired tester alyuel, VMK has simply gone downhill slowly. The in-park stuff disappeared, the problems with the Ride Creating Events, the major lag surrounding the entrance of new lands, and most recently, the massive quest with all of the massive problems surrounding it. I'm surprised VMK has held itself afloat these past few months. I love VMK, I'll always cherish the memories it's instilled in me these few years, but I also am able to let it go. Goodbye VMK.

I need to say it, but I doubt this is real, any corporate business owner knows that this will trash their reputation.

This is by far, the dumbest move Disney has EVER pulled.

But, all in all, we need to move on, I see this as a chance for the rest of you to.

I knew this day was going to come for a while now, but it's kind of sad to finally see it here.


But, yavn continues to lie to us, he said VMK will not close anytime soon *This was in late 07* and that the game is still running strong.

I can imagine the day when VMK closes. It will just be hanging out with friends for the last time. Visiting VMK for the last time. I feel like VMK is on those " You have 24 hours to live" type thing, and we must spend the last day with VMK and have some real fun. It is such a sad thing to accept.

oh no! I just joined vmk forums, after a few months of not playing vmk I just came back. This is just... terrible. Why can't we pay for it? I can live with it, but I know there are alot of people who are way more into vmk than I am. I mean, it's some people's entire lives! I am so mad! Grrr!

R.I.P. VMK

May all of our Virtual Stuff be happy in the Virtual Spirit World. It's been great knowing the the few people I met in the year and a half that I got a chance to play.
I hope my little virtual body Rests in Peace too, with all of the cool clothes I purchased. (My favorite being my bird hat I was just granted to me as a Dream of mine).
To PrincessWal who I shared alot of the same interests with: Thanks hunny!
To all of the people who kept me informed by posting the lastest VMK info the quickest: Thank you!
Lots of love and care from me, Jess!!!! ^_^ XOXOXOXXOXOXOXO
P.S. I don't plan to leave the forums, unless this gets closed too, I just thought I would add my thoughts to this thread.

This is quite possibly the worst. I've been around since Day 1. But you know what? I have collected a lot of rare stuff. I think I'm going to open a room this weekend and give most of it away so the players who didn't have a chance to get it, could have it for at least a few weeks. Nothing is really rare anymore or all of it is, depending on how you look at it. So I'm going to give other players a chance to have something they haven't had before. I think I'll do it on Saturday when I have time.

What?! How can this happen?! VMK is like my second home when i feel troubled in my real one. I spent hard work earning my rare items and now i feel like sobbing. Why so early? It almost breaks my hard to see one of my most favored games be thrown into the dumpster such as other old games. I feel like sobbing until i die. This is so unfair to all the children who play vmk for enjoyment and relaxation. This is so improbable. Is this Yavn's decision or is this a requirement? VMK is where i met alot of friends. Goodbye the magical world

[Aggie]

Lets all send a petition to VMK saying to keep VMK Going!

[gabyta]

I don't have words to describe my feelings..

[mickey1970mouse]

I do believe this is in direct relations to the blackheart quest. The most upset is my children. They dont like toontown or pirates. They are in tears this was a fun game the whole family played together.

Oh well, I was in the host room and I asked if they would have a job and they said they didnt know.

They said to write contact us to let them know how we feel.

I would also be willing to pay for my family to play, they love this little Disney World!

[fantasyforever]

my friends......are GONE......

[sonic99979]

There will be nothing to do anymore!!! I can't download games and Clubpenguin is BORING

[lologrl92]

if they are just going to close vmk then what is the point of that silly Trading Card Game with all the cool stuff

[flaxygirl]

OMG!

I always just assumed it would last forever....... wow

Well im going to try to trade for everything i have ever wanted and take lots of screen shots. Thanks for the memories..
