***New Yavn Speaks BIG CHANGES IN LINES and Q!!!!!

[Jumangi]

The idea is good, but I can see the room being closed within 10 minutes and no one able to get in line after that. Currently you can get in line until the stated game close time. With this unlimited line, the room has to be close way sooner unless they are making staff work 24 hr shifts.

 

[NotAZoo]

Funny how we all have our problems or suggestions before the change is even implemented, but all have been extremely valid points. One thing I think they should add to the VMK Pass along with the line queue, is an Estimated Time to Enter.....just like real lines at the parks. I don't think it will be difficult to calculate how fast a line is moving and just put something next to the queue number to say that you have roughly 20:05 minutes until you will get in the room or something like that. I think this will really help people know whether waiting in line is worth it. For example a teleport game where the line moves fast, may be worth waiting if you are 200th in line, as opposed to a generator spin game which moves much slower.

It's about time they did the line like this. I've been saying I wanted a fast pass for staff games for ages.

I only wish you could play games while you held one.

As I remember back in January, a fast pass was mentioned in several threads. That was when the lines were like 350+ at any given time.

Thanks VMK for the Fast Pass!

 

[HeDiedxILive]

My question is... will we have to move every 5 minutes so we dont get the "if you dont move we are going to dc you message"

I can totaly see jumping in line and doing laundry... jumping in line and cooking dinner.... that sort of thing....

Like so many things on VMK time will tell..........................

Doesn't it mention that you can choose if you want the pass or not? The way I interpret this is, you still have a choice to just wait in the queue if you don't want the pass.

 

[HopelessMagic]

Yeah you can choose not to have the pass which I think is an awesome idea. I love the pass idea. I'll finally be able to get into host rooms AND do something else besides staring at a queue bar going across my screen. I have faith in staff to make it work out. We'll have to see when the host event happens tonight.

You do have a choice of accepting the VMK Pass or not. But as I read it, and this is just my interpretation, if you don't accept the Pass you aren't in queue. The only time you get directly into a queue is if there are less than five people in it. If there are more than five in queue, then the choices are Cake or Death, uh, I mean Pass or you don't get into line at all. I don't think the non-Pass option is wait in queue like we currently do.

Hi,
I have to agree with this as this is how I interperted it. the choice is pass or you don't have a place in the line.

Hi,
I am concerned that many players are seeing this as a fast pass-a way to get into the games faster. This will not make the games run any faster. Yavn even states in number 5:

5. Having a VMK Pass won't make the line move any faster. What it does do is allow you make better use of your time while waiting.



This is a VMK pass not a fast pass nor does he mention anything in the newsletter that states if you get a pass with a number you are guanteed to get in. I think we need to wait and see how it all works.

Maybe my wording was bad, but I didn't think it would make the lines move any faster. I've been saying for months that they should set up a system where you can get a spot in line, and be able to do other things.

Hi,
I like you also wish we could play games as that is what Bears and I do the most My son loves the fact that he can socialize all night now. I suppose the option could be to put my main peep in the line and get a pass and on another screen use my second main peep to earn credits for buying things. Who knows we will have to see how it all works out.

I think this is a amazing fantastic idea! Yet, what was that... No Limits on lines?! umm its great and all that we get to not just sit there and do nothing but will we be back to the 500 lines at halloween? That was awful.

Another thing I do not know if you realize but a new room was revealed in that picture "Mickey's Toontown Diamond" Guest room or regular room?!

I LOVE the idea of an estimated wait time! I think that would be a great replacement for the Mickey heads rather than listing how many people are in the room.

 

[Master Gracy]

I dont mind waiting as long as I am in a q,
at least I dont have the stress of clicking like a madman!

 

[Maleficent2]

I agree it sounds like an excellent idea and I think we all should reserve our negative judgments about it until it is put into action and we see how it works.

I have it on personal info that the goal of this was to give us something to do while in line. Something else is being considered to get the lines moving faster.


I can not wait to try it out! What could be better than to be able to be in a queue and still play pirates!

Hi,

This is what is not great Mal about this. He states you can NOT play mini games while holding a VMK pass for a Q. Wish we could but sadly no.

But we can visit, decorate a room, enter codes, work on a quest. This is great! Instead of just going into a VMK time out while waiting to get into a host event, we can actually do things. YAY!

So, would you be willing to leave a game in the middle, say Pirates or HM and leave the others in the game hanging while you take your spot in line? What would happen during the game as you "decide" whether to accept your VMK pass in the que? How much do we like it when others leave a game in the middle because it is not going well for them? Now apply that to this same issue. I think it was a good decision on VMK part not to include playing games.

room decorating & quests are good.

I don't believe it is either one playa. I think It's just the title of one of the Host games for January. Of course I have been wrong before.
