I don't think VMK Pass is any better.

I am not trying to be negative, because I think the effort that VMK has put into these upgrades is fantastic and I am so grateful for them! They have been doing a wonderful job!



BUT. I am not digging this VMK Pass. The idea is fabulous. I love being able to get things done while I am waiting in line.
Now I feel like you HAVE to enter the line within a few seconds of host room opening to be able to get in at all. For example, Neverland Parking. I realized it was going on about 8 miniutes after it opened. I entered at number 317. The line is not moving very quickly. At this rate, I expect to get in for the last half hour, if I get in at all. What about the people behind me? It seems as though, now you have to be able to get in line at opening or you won't be getting in at all... as opposed to before, when you could keep clicking and still know that you have a chance (not that this chance was any higher) of getting in a 50 person queue and then KNOWING that you'll get in the room.

I am not trying to say that it is worse now... because I do like ibeing able to multi-task, and it will be great if you are there at opening. But I don't think it is any better, either... I feel like I still need to watch the clock to be ready at opening... and search and search and click like crazy if I want to get in the room.

How does everyone else feel? Am I making any sense? :rotfl:
 
I understand, but i like it better, just knowing i will be able to get in. I wish they would make it so that you can get a pass, but then you can click to just get in the queue, for people who did all they need to do and want to leave the computer while it loads. So as not to get kicked off for being idle.

Thats what I mean though. If I'm at 657 in the queue... how will I know if I'll get in or not?

I wonder what will happen to people in line when the queue closes... if they close off the line 30 minutes before the game closes, or if they'll just stop and it will be tough luck for those in line, or what.
 
That is what i meant on being able to get back in the queue from the pass, so you know you would not get booted, but you are sitll in line. I know they wait is long, but its they same amount of people.

Say you wanted into an event, before we had the pass. You would click and click and click and click. All that time you spent clicking with no guaruntee, and all those people in line while you were clicking, are the same amount as it is now. Only now they are all in line at once. With a gauruntee that you will get in.

I get what you're saying, I really do. And I agree to a point. But I feel like the only real guarantee that you are getting in the room is to be far enough up in line. I mean, I know I'm guaranteed to be in the queue, but not to get in if there are 450 people in front of me. Especially in something as equally slow as it is popular, like Hula's Yardsale. My point is... I still think you have to be in line at opening to be sure to get in. You'll have a chance, yes, but no real assurance unless you're in line behind 200-300 or less.

Also, to throw this out in general, what about the teleporter games? It's going to take forever to get back in and try again after picking the wrong one. It was a breeze to get in line for those, and yes, they move incredibly fast... but I'd rather wait behind 49 people each time rather then the building number I think I'll see... 300... 400.... 700 even? It might turn the event into a hit-or-miss game... not an if-at-first-you-dont-succeed-try-again game.
 
I know what you mean and i understand, but give it a while to sink in, people are excited with it right now, so let it die down a bit and then see how you like it.

As for me i have to go to contact us and figure out why this stupid quest wont work. :badpc:

And thanks lol.
 
Not sure if anybody has said this or not, but once you get the VMK Pass, and you have to go afk or something, and are worried about missing your turn to get in, go to the Guest Rooms list and click enter queue on the room tha tyou have the VMK pass for. It will put you back in the queue, in the same position you were with the VMK pass.

even if you are in the line with a pass, there is no guarantee that the people far back in line will get in. Last night, the people far back, got a message when the pass was up, saying that the room could not be entered.
 
My two cents...
I clicked as soon as Lily's room opened at 2:30 and got in line... at #82!!:sad2:
I just left the queue immediately because I didn't want to wait. It was like two seconds after 2:30. Seriously.
The thing that I LOVE about VMKPass is the fact that they changed it to where you can play games and things while you're in the queue. That rocks.
I agree that it's too early to judge properly.
Oh, and just as a side note, we can't say "Babs" anymore. Had thought that I'd not seen her in ages, so tried to say her title. Huh.

OMG! We can play games while in the queue now? I quite the line for club 33 just so I could do fireworks!

Yes , you can play games, but be warned, that if it is close to your entry time and you are in a game, you will lose your pass and have to re-enter the queue.

Well, when you're waiting for club 33 with 150 people left, I think a game of fireworks might... just... fit!

I got in line at 46 tongiht... loved it. played some pirates, Lily was moving people out every ten minutes or so it went somewhat fast. But I earned close to 1000 in credits while waiting TWO THUMBS UP!

(on a side note the other night I was in line for club 33 and missed the entry point... got booted ALSO I was in line last night after the game closed and when it was my turn I was sent a screen saying the room was not open anymore)

Still LOVE IT!
 
I got in line for Lily's room at over 500 people over an hour ago. The game ended 18 minutes ago and yet my pass did not close down -it stayed open and kept counting down, but when it got to me, it would not let me in the room. So what a huge waste. I agree that if you don't get on right when the room opens, forget about it.
 
I joined line at around 6:00 est at 250ish about 7:30 in finally got in. I got to play and earn credits, but it is a little crazy and who knows who got in after me

:idea:
 
ok - i like the idea behind the fast pass. however, I think there is the idea that if I get a fast pass, I will get in. They need to either have an announcement pop up that states, "Host Room is now closed. If you have a Fast Pass, it is no longer valid" OR stop handing out Fast Passes maybe 30 minutes before room is to close.

In concept, I like the fast pass. I think the magic is in the details.

There definitely needs to be a cut off time for getting passes. I think that everyone who has a pass should get to the room, even if it means just setting up a teleporter to walk through for small prize.
