How did you find VMK?

[aengus]

I found it from the disboards Even before it opened there was a thread in here talking about it. I kept my eye out and gave it a try.

Funny thing is... I didnt care for it much ROFL

In fact didnt play that often until after returning from a trip and taking the VIP tour. THEN i was hooked!

I was browsing through a Disney magazine and came across an add for VMK. I remember telling myself I'd try it out, but I forgot about it for a few months and the magazine got thrown away. When the next one came, I saw the add again and was so bored that I made myself get on, and I was hooked. The rest, as they say, is history.

Well being the Disney fanatic i am, I came to the dis just for the WDW section. So one day i pondered around the forums. I originally saw it advertised but didn't think much of it. Then I tried and have been at it since. Thank you so much Dis!

I was at school at me a like three other kids finished our math end of the year test and so we were aloud too play on the computer. I wanted to play runescape but it was blocked them one kid said 'VMK!!' and I was like "NO!" even thoug I didn't know what it was and then I went home after and was like 'HMMM.... I should see how lame it is." Ha.

We joined Day 2 of Beta I read about it on the DIS prior to Beta starting and then kept watching for it to start. I have logged in and played everyday since then with the exception of the 8 days we were at WDW.

Now WDW resorts need to get with the program and have free WiFi and next time we are there our laptop will go with us

I recieved an email about it when i signed up at the Disney website back in Jan of 05. When VMk went live, I created a character and wandered around the screen for a while trying to figure out what to do. I didnt really like it so i never played again until after I was posting a trip report and saw a VMK picture or link in someones signature that responded. After that I wandered over to this board and became hooked on VMK when i saw what fun everyone seemed to be having. I mean any game or website that lets a Mod name herself after an Evil Queen and lets ducks and cats fight with pirate ships had to be cool!

An ad on disney.com led me to it.

I joined I think June 2005

Then when I finally got my vmk name it was coodisneyfan I was devastated at first but I did not care after a while

I joined the dis Nov. 2005 I think. After I got scammed

and in May 2006 I got my 1 week ban.

and now you see me today.

P.S You would not have liked to see me before dis on vmk.

I found it through the Disney Adventures magizine. Geez, I still hate VMK for not giving me a beta badge.

My MonkeyRulz has a subscription and I went back and found an early issue with the full page ad. If only she would have read it back then.

Oh poooooooo. I was too interested in PS2 games back then.

Hey, stop posting at the same time as me!

I'll post at the same time as you as much as I want.

I found VMK through Neopets.com I believe when fronteirland was not even open yet, so about Nov '05 I think? Then I forgot about it for a while and came back in February/March '06 right before our family trip to WDW. I was thrilled over my first piece of quest furniture, A magenta rocket!

Well it all started summer 2005 after me and my family went on a boring two day San Diego trip where we went to Sea World and the wild animal park and stayed only one night at a hotel. So after the trip I thought up some ideas, and of course who wouldn't think of going to WDW so that's where I thought we should go next. This is what turned me into a Disney addict. While looking up some info on the WDW site I saw the VMK ad. It looked interesting so I clicked on it. And there was the movie with the five alpha people talking in different lands. Oh how I remember that old VMK site. Then I clicked on the globe that used to be there that let me sign up. But it required all this information and I didn't feel like typing that much that day. But then a few days later I decided to give it a try so I signed up and my long lost character was born. I played for a few days then went back to my trip plans which kept changing and changing and changing (but it was still WDW). Then I saw the ad again and remembered, my poor little neglected character (by the way this was November)! I tried to log in but couldn't remember my password! And my parents got a new computer so the e-mail address changed! The one I used wasn't valid anymore! There was no way to get my character back! Now you know why I call it the long lost character. So I made a new one (Main Street still had Halloween decorations) and that's when I discovered how cool and amazing VMK actually was and I became addicted and never left my character for a few days never again to forget my password. I sure learned my lesson, and that is, if you want to keep your character, never forget or neglect it (or at least the password). The End.

My mom was part of DisBoards and she say the VMK game board and told me. I ignored it for a while but then 1 day i finally clicked on it and then started playing.

I'm pretty sure that I found the link on the Disney website. I clicked on it a few times and watched the video, but I didn't join until December 2005. I think I saw the link on Neopets, too, but never bothered to click it. I was obsessed with Neopets for almost three years until I discovered VMK...
