Door Way To Fortune

[PopStar]

has anyone won yet? what are the prizes? i am in line now and at 40.

I am in line at 50 people at 7:13 PM eastern I figured why not. I haven't subjected myself to the irritation of waiting in line for a host game and then crashing as soon as I get in the room, in quite some time. I guess I am up for it.

ok the combonation today is for six to fron left to right in that order, if you get the exact combonation,you get inferno. sadly, i just got credits

 

[PopStar]

sorry to double post but, i crashed and couldn't find the room. it is hiding,how? how do i get back in there?

 

[BrittnTylersMom]

The room description is the same as when the game was called VMK-Gift Bag, a number combination is posted on the wall, you spin the generators trying to match the number. For Gift Bag the prize for matching all three generator numbers in exact order was Inferno. You get 100 credits for each number you match, for that the numbers can be in any order.

I'm 3rd in queue now.

(You posted while I was typing! )

I'm behind 32.

I have a good feeling tonight.

 

[DementedRiku]

I have only 4 ppl left! And i think it was fast enough that I won't crash till right after i spin my FIRST generator! Woot! lol I don't feel lucky at all tonight but i gotta try!

 

[PopStar]

must find room!

I got in line behind 40 people, managed to get into the room; only to have the staff say the game was closing in a few minutes, but we would get through the game. Then I crashed. 30 seconds later I couldn't find the room.

When I was in there (about 20 minutes ago) Host_Hula said the game would be closing, but that the line would get to play. Staff can now take a room off the popular rooms list to close the queue, and still allow the rest of the 40 something people waiting, to play. This is much better than how it used to be, waiting and waiting to get into a room just to be greeted by a spider web wall divider!

they can hide rooms now.

I don't know if anyone else mentioned this- but when they decide to "close" a game- you can't get into queue for it any longer- but you may have a friend who is waiting still to get into the room.

This weekend I made it into the trade room with dd's character and logged her off and me on (didn't want to have multiple accounts open to increase crash risk) and in the less than two minutes it took to do that the room was gone...

I asked one of the staff members I saw in one of the public areas later- forget who and they said it was to cut back on people just getting into the room only to be told the game is over. I applauded the new change- much less frustrating if you only have to worry about the crash factor and not succeed in getting into a room and have it crash.

 

[LisaInNc]

Wow I am impressed that they finally solved that problem! I got in and got all the numbers but not in the exact order. I got credits but I have no idea how many.

I crashed once I got out of the room. Go figure that never happens! I feel so lucky that if NC had a lottery I would rush out and play it!

 

[BrittnTylersMom]

Lisa, you get 100 credits for each number matched (any order), so you should have gotten 300 credits.

There seems to be a time line on crashes of about 40-45 minutes after logging in to VMK. If I'm going to play a host game, I always log out and log back in right before getting in queue. I have not crashed in line or in the game ever since I started doing that.

 

[PirateGhostShip]

I can't find the room!!! lol

This is much better than how it used to be, waiting and waiting to get into a room just to be greeted by a spider web wall divider!

Later on in the evening they reopened the staff game room. I got in another long line of people and when I got in the room this time it was to be greeted with a closed off doorway. The others in the room were still playing the game.

Hi,

Is there a certain time of day that the HOST_ games usually pop up in the Guest Rooms list? Or is it totally haphazard? Any patterns? I have only bumped into one or two over the last two months.

Thanks,
~b

 

[jkmj]

the staff games are in the afternoon of most weekdays they are in the morning and at night on weekends

 

[mizmouse]

Great, thanks so much jkmj!
