If it wasn't for bad luck...Updated 4/17/07

[pinkgalYall]

2. I rode the Fantasyland rides on my main character only for seven hours yesterday evening, received 12 sword in stone magic pins

3. The "charming" sword would not release from that "darling" stone ANY of the aforementioned 12 tries!

4. DC four times.

5. Got stuck at entrance to rooms so badly that by the time the lag cleared, I was heading into the next room!

6. Tried running through the ride with PinkgalYall and Avastmaygirl, only to split up and be reunited randomly. In spite of the fact that I entered through the turnstile first, on the Alice ride, Pink always wound up in front of me. On Peter Pan, Pink and May would be three or four people behind.

7. Referring to number 6, the pestering kid who was shouting, "Leader, be my friend, leader be my friend." over and over managed to stay with me the entire ride, and landed in the same Fantasyland Courtyard that I did! LOL.

How was YOUR day?

What can I say? I told you it was my rightful spot. Pan is still grumpy with me, I can ride Alice just fine, Pan keeps freezing me though.

Candy was my reinforcement also the other day hehe, I was bouncing off the walls. I can just picture the little chocolate bunnies sitting in the box going, "Ahahaha!" Chomp " My ear! My ear! "

Oh yes and Mnementh "I" rode with you a few times also. I was riding all day, along with Dara. Dara and I decided yesterday that we need a big pirate ship so we can make the stone go "Boom!"

The lag has been downright awful since the update. It's especially frustrating to me because I've been carving out a bit of VMK time since then, whereas before I was coming on maybe once per week. And yet fireworks is so bad I can't even break 6,000. I'm lucky to get around 5,600. And when you're broke to begin with, that is really NOT helpful. Oddly enough, I have very little lag on Mansion, and that used to be the lag-overdose zone.

Well.. I certainly had a bad night tonight! I was on the host room rides (this way or that way) tonight and first time I got stuck in the third room I think... Fin then booted me (after an hr in line). So get in line again and I got in the Tiki room this time and it loaded up ..but I was somewhere..I never came out...arggg I waited 10 mins hoping I would come into the room...but nothing..So gave up and sarted all over again..
Arggggg

Oh yes...the lag has been really bad since the land opened
But am hoping that will all get worked out!

 

[FilamentTheBright]

Sorry(hehe), not (haha) funnyrotfl2: )

Hey Leader, be my friend.


Oooops, never mind, I'm already on that list. (And probably deteled soon )

I hope you have a couple of better days this week.

 

[Momie]

But the thing that's getting me is this lag. I have not been able to play fireworks that much in the past couple of weeks. Is anyone else having this trouble? I also just increased my connection to the max, so I know it isn't my connection. I didn't have lag the majority of the time before this latest upgrade...is it just me?

[/QUOTE]

I am having the same problem and I am on a new computer and DSL. The lag started a few days before the new land came out. I can't play ghosts with more than one person and sometimes that is a problem. There is no serious playing at night because there are so many people on. I hope this will clear up soon. When I bought this computer I was finially able to play with speed but now not so fast.

I have ridden those fantasyland rides at least 20 times and still have not gotten a sword in the stone magic pin!

 

[DaraAllen]

So far tonight (you have to giggle about this stuff):

1. Lost in Hula's room

2. Got back into queue

3. Promptly had an IE crash

4. Got one magic pin, which of course, did not give me the strength I needed

5. Now have no sound in game.

 

[DigitalMermaid]

Aww, I hope your luck picks up soon!!

At least you can get into Hula's room, I can't!

 

[cteddiesgirl]

Hugs to everyone having a bad time!

We all have those days sometimes.
I've had several times lately where my internet connection just drops while I'm in the middle of something on VMK.

At least you can laugh at the problems.


Oh, Dara, did you use up all your good luck from winning YOMD so much?

 

[Adventuredaz]

Regarding the sword in the stone problem, I was down to shrunken neds putting in an order for some dynamite. It should be in in a week or two and I think we can get that sword out , God knows the magic ain't doing it.

 

[Arwen]

I have been having a terrible lag in fireworks.
The one and only time the sword was coaxed out of the stone for me the prize was the stupendous Lumiere candle! Woot!

 

[DaraAllen]

Pink and I are building a REALLY BIG pirate boat to make the stone go boom!

And yes, sea tea, I believe I've used up all my good fortune. I haven't won any more YOAMD stuff in several months, either!

 

[Bakerlady]

I never have any luck with the host rooms. I can't seem to get in them.they usually stop running before I get in , like the other day I was number 2 in line to get in and the room closed .Or there is so much lag when my (pass) blinks I can't click on it then I'm back to number 972 or something LOL . they should always have more than one of the same room . I don't even know what a host prize is ,because I never won one, oh well! I'll keep on trying

 

[JulyGirl]

I've had some bad crashes since the most recent updates. If I use the VMK Pass, I crash. So, if I want to get into host games, I must remain in the queue.

 

[DaraAllen]

Some more to make you all giggle this morning.

Last night, I was on one computer with two characters, mine and my DS6 (DinosaurFriend). DH was on another computer with his character (Sclim). For three hours, we rode the rides and waited in host room lines. Results are:

1. Sclim got into host room and lost.
2. Sclim did not receive a single solitary sword in stone magic pin.
3. Sclim did, however, complete the Alice in Wonderland quest.
4. CL_DaraSue got into queue at around 700 but when the time came, the "enter room" button wouldn't work so my VMK pass expired.
5. I received about 8 sword in stone magic pins and was weak as a kitten.
6 CL_DaraSue won in host room.
7. DinosaurFriend got into host room and won (ok, so I cheated a bit by following myself into the same teleporter!).
8. Dinosaur Friend did not receive a single magic pin, just like his Daddy!
9. DinosaurFriend completed both the Peter Pan and Alice in Wonderland quests.

I received all my pins only from the Alice ride. Sclim and DinosaurFriend randomly switched back and forth between Alice and Pan.

Just so you know I'm not the only one, a group of us was riding together today. Here are Garizle (Riser), Avastmaygirl (green hat), FilamentTheBright, me, and pinkgalYall. We rode the five of us about four or five rides. Not a single one of us got a magic pin. As of a few minutes ago, with three of us still riding (almost three hours now), pink has received two pins, no pulls.

 

[DigitalMermaid]

Haha, wow, seems like a ton of people from here meet up on VMK.

At least you won in the host room, that's good!!

 

[pinkgalYall]

I think that was the only time Rise was actually in front. I gave up on the stone and went to take out some anger on some Pirate ships. After that I started entering pirate codes, there was this one code that would not work, and I tried re-entering it to see if I was typing it wrong. Vmk got mad at me for entering to many invalid codes so I had to login again.

I got a new set of ears from "Year of a Million Dreams"! I won't be as brave as you and post a pic. I've been sending entries in here and there, so I am not sure when it was from. Hopefully, a little bit of that luck will rub back on you.

 

[birdmom]

...I wouldn't have any at all. (This is supposed to be humorous, not complaining!)

Did anyone else have the worst luck last night? I'm not complaining, because it was so bad it was funny. Plus, I was on a chocolate high from the Easter bunny droppings, so I didn't wig out. Here's what happened to me:

1. Went through Hula's room three times last night on my main character. Lost all three times.

2. I rode the Fantasyland rides on my main character only for seven hours yesterday evening, received 12 sword in stone magic pins

3. The "charming" sword would not release from that "darling" stone ANY of the aforementioned 12 tries!

4. DC four times.

5. Got stuck at entrance to rooms so badly that by the time the lag cleared, I was heading into the next room!

6. Tried running through the ride with PinkgalYall and Avastmaygirl, only to split up and be reunited randomly. In spite of the fact that I entered through the turnstile first, on the Alice ride, Pink always wound up in front of me. On Peter Pan, Pink and May would be three or four people behind.

7. Referring to number 6, the pestering kid who was shouting, "Leader, be my friend, leader be my friend." over and over managed to stay with me the entire ride, and landed in the same Fantasyland Courtyard that I did! LOL.

How was YOUR day?

This is why we love you Dare..... By the way LEADER WILL YOU BE MY FRIEND?
