Farewell, VMK

[NedsTJ]

Though I'd post a link to this Blog I came across while googling for news on VMK. I'm not familiar with the author or the site (there are disney sites other than the 'dis? Blasphemy!) but she manages to capture how I feel about the whole thing in a much better way than I could ever write it!

What does VMK have that those other games don't? In my opinion, heart. I tried Pirates online during the Beta phase. Not only did the game's graphics make me dizzy and slightly ill, I couldn't figure out if there was EVER anything to do but fight or be fought. Toontown Online is just a little... too... placid?

VMK is built to look like a Disney theme park - you can wander through New Orleans Square, ride the Peter Pan attraction, hop aboard the Monorail. None of the other games offer anything like that atmosphere, a way for people to step "foot" onto Main Street when they are hundreds and thousands of miles away. That has always been the most compelling part of the game to me, and the thing I most wish to see preserved.
