Positives of vmk closing news?

[VirtuallyMe]

I'm going to have to 100% agree with you, BayKid. The change in a lot of people is evident, and I've especially noticed it in myself. I feel like people are more willing to just spend time with each other lately. We aren't as motivated by getting credits or getting the high score in Jungle Cruise (or whatever it may be). I've noticed people are just hanging out in each other's guest rooms, reminiscing and socializing.

People have also come to be much more generous as they realize that there isn't much time left, and I think that's healthy. True there's sort of a sad undertone to all of this, but idea remains the same. "You don't know what you'e got till it's gone." We're not taking advantage of the time we have in the game, but coming to value it more. I think everybody is especially taking the extra time to spend time with their friends and not take them for granted either. In some ways the closing of VMK is showing the best sides of people

But for me- this is nothing new... I've always seen generous caring people who like to spend time with each other and aren't hung up on having it all. Sure some have gone and received "the best" awards- but most that I know would have gone on without them just fine. They still built beautiful rooms, hosted fun games, and held exciting quests- not for the prize but the pixie dust...

So for me this is the aspect that I have always played VMK= now that all the players have caught the "bug" well that is great- but around my friends- it is business as usual- just a little more down about the ax falling so soon.

Hugs to you I know what you mean. I have hugged mine (and he's not so young) and we have cried together. With 3 people that play at our house and are Disney fanatics that we are it has brought down a huge cloud of sorrow over our household. Yes we will get over it as they say but it does not take away the feelings we have at the moment. Does not take much nowadays to set us off. A VMK card on a desk, the pictures on the shelf a look at each other and the reality that our little people will be lost forever. The sad thing for me is after a year of planing our very first trip to Disneyland and the final chapter in Ink's list he made when he was ill since the announcement has been made they boys have not uttered the word Disneyland. No talk of it nothing and we leave in 2 weeks. The sparkle in our eyes have been replaced with tears.

Hugs to all with heart broken children at home that learned so much and had such enjoyment. Hugs to the "big people" who have help make a community on line a fun place to be.

I see no positives at the moment.
