So much for this being a kids game.....

[VirtuallyMe]

I have not bothered to share with my older child that the quest is even going on this weekend.

And the youngest wouldn't know what I was talking about anyway

I've learned long ago which events to encourage my kids to do and when to send them out to play while I stay in and get frustrated- there are some things that aren't meant for little kids- this quest is one of them. The only young children who will get through this- have parents getting them through

I've played all day today- and actually was in 3 games of pirates none with advancers for one reason or the other- the rest of the time was waiting to get into lobby and then crashing as we get into game and starting it all over.

This is definitely a server test for them- and should have been anticipated. They could keep the quest the same if they allowed more time to complete it there would be less lag- sure this weekend would have been bad since most people want it first- but it would get easier to achieve later on.

We have already seen that it is doable- but it is NOT doable by the majority. It is the few who will get through- the older more experienced player- and there is no way I'd even attempt without an outside connection.

We have seen too where people commit to completing the task for a team only to abandon their team mates when they need to finish. Like I said to a few others- it is events like this that you truly learn who your friends are.

I do feel sorry for those kids who get into the lobby and are waiting for friends but have no way to communicate outside the game- they are stuck there trying to decide to go without- do the scary and let a stranger in who may or may not follow the "rules", or wait and hold up lines for a long long time.

Just a little lower score and I think it could be more attainable.

Or leave it the same and allow more time...

I have mentioned before that they should have set up a few very long quests like this one but with manageable games- that had to have a clue in the end to solve from all the quests- and make it a final answer- then the few would get it too- but at least everyone had a chance...

Congrats to all those who have gotten through the dreaded task and completed the quest.

Good luck to those still attempting...

And a pat on the back for those who have decided it isn't worth it and are going about their vmk day ignoring the quest.

^See this is the thing that bothers me most about this Quest - the fact that you have no chance of winning without being able to communicate outside the game! Totally violates VMK Values.

OK I will be the first to admit that I am a huge violator - would not be married to BobRichmond today if we had not. But it is totally not fair to the kids who the Values were written for.

That said, best of luck to those of you tryng

Im glad you guys violated the rules..........I think you 2 are the cutest ever and I tell all my friends about your story!

I agree with the values thing and you are right, I hadn't thought of it that way, but it really does take communication outside the game to do this, that supposedly isnt allowed! LOL
