I don't look like this in VMK.

PIN ZOOM FEATURE 
Talk about helpful! Even if you don't trade much or can't get your hands on a paticular pin, you can still blow it up if someone is wearing it! It just needs a double click!
NEW ORLEANS SQUARE
I'm personally surprised by the popularity this new land has gained. But then again, I've never been to DLR so I'm no doubt in the dark on this one. But I say "surprised" because last time I checked, it was "Vitrual Magic Kingdom" and last time I checked, the real version has a place called "Liberty Square". Odd indeed. It's like VMK is being demagic kingdominized.. if that makes sense.
MONORAIL MIX GAME
This was a really neat idea! Now only if it could of been released without any bugs, it would no doubt be the talk of the kingdom, but of course, we couldn't even hear our jams on the first day and crashing there seems to be part of the game now lol. I love techno and love crashing in VMK, this is awesome! Like the street party game, I'm sure we will be losing connection in here for years to come!
VMK PASS
I'm one of many players who are constantly on the move and cannot find much use in this new feature. I tried it once since it's arrival, made it into the room after a 200 person wait, and lost connection like I ALWAYS do after clicking a staff kiosk. VMK Pass is probably a good thing as it forces people like myself to not even bother, and makes way for people who don't mind a 500+ line or have considerable time to kill by watching a que box count down.
GUEST ROOM TICKETS
Neat idea! This is a great way to keep build projects private and to simply keep the uninvited away. I personally am glad I wont have to build in a "not in any room" room anymore. Using this feature to promote new rooms or games will probably be just a waste of cash unless the user is an established player or what they create becomes well known. I can see tickets to a "Dry Bones" show go like hot cakes, even gain value to people who want to attend, I know I'd trade for one if I missed the boat!
Now staff using this feature on the other hand, I cringe to the thought. I hope when/if staff use the ticketing program, it will be for CL meetings that are kept on the down low. Using the tickets for events and special oppritunities to obtain stuff is beyond wrong, and defeats the whole purpose of why the entire community even plays, and that's to be a part of VMK! Not to be exclusively shut out! I hope staff truly thinks about that.
FIREWORKS GAME: REMIXED
This is no doubt a welcomed change to VMK as the previous version became so repitious it could literally put you to sleep and yet, was a PRIMARY source of credits that made mule'n a thing of the past. Now, a much more challenging version of the game has been deemed worthy of only 40% of the rewards that the previous version offered. Where the logic is in this is beyond me, all I know is once I win a gold firework pin, I'm pretty much done with the game. The same game that I was once was able to play daily, for over a year straight.
The ironic part of this change in gaming value is, avid firework players who once were able to earn credits in solitary peace, are now forced to go play pirates to see anywhere near the same credit/time ratio that they've grown used to. The same pirate game that right now, is considered the bowels of VMK where all respect for one another is lossed. Fireworks doesn't pay, pirates often ends in annoyance, and yet here we are, being told "get ammo get gold run run hurry hurry get them omg u lame" by someone who already sunk to the bottom.
CLUB 33 GUEST ROOM
Can you say OMG?! One of the most incredible, well designed, and over the top classy additions to be added to VMK, and wouldn't you know it, word is VMK has decided we are not worthy to have it! Or maybe they will give away a card for the room code at the actual Club 33?! LOL, I think I'd hate the person who would have the room by those means lol. The staff message would have to go something like:
"Congratulations!
You have entered a code for:
Club 33 Guest room
People will now know you have alot of money
and you'll be the envy of the kingdom!"
I believe what I've been told about how the room is not for us because I mean come on, every guest room in VMK has been made available for us at one point in time or another, and like everything else, that just cannot last forever. Someone will see to that!
FINAL WORDS
I'd say the peak of my VMK addiction was around Everest month and throughout the Everest hype. Even looking back on slide times I think, "Those were some good times in the game". Even if it's a toe nail trimming, I find myself more and more searching for real life reasons to simply not be irritated by the game. Irritation caused by the games blatant disreguard for it's fan base. I just thank God for the ability to make and maintain friends within the game that share the same Disney passions as myself as they are hard to find in the real world!
