To mule or not to mule

[cteddiesgirl]

One thing I forgot to mention, If you do the Jungle Cruise for the tent room pdf, run your mule through to crash the first time to get the 150 credits and the poster, then do it again for the 750 & pdf. Otherwise you won't get the 150 credits or poster.

Peacefully: I forgot about those quests. The 50 hidden Mickeys (not the photo one) gets you 300 credits and a roll of film. But it'll add more time that you have to spend on the mule.

But selling Mickey Special pin only gets you 50 credits. Which is great for only a couple mintues.

8 minutes huh? I went through all that was listed and took me about 20 minutes, not including a dc (I stopped the timer during the log back in). Sure it's a few thousand credits though... Don't know that I'd use them that often, but I could see doing it once a week for the pins or whatever... Hmmm....

im betting you typed the codes by hand huh?
Many of us, I am sure, still use shortkeys, we just dont enter codes back to back

Even with shortkeys or just plain fast typing, I can't do what you listed in that amount of time. But I do have a fairly slow machine. If I had a much, much faster machine, maybe.

You must have a great machine and a great net connection to get done so fast.

99% of the time, I do it from work. My work machine is only half as good as my home machine, but I have a triple T3 connection at work and only cable at home. But lately, VMK has been hitting my PC with a much heavier load, at home and at work. I also think I found the source of the disconnects... still researching....

sometimes, I put my mules on an assembly line, so to speak.

Before VMK opens, I create the accounts, usually about 50 at a time. Then during teh 10 o'clock hour, I logon and create the name and then just logoff (usually 10-15 accouunts depending on how busy I am at work. Then after lunch, I logon and do the codes and NPCs and mini games - again, I can get 15 accounts done in an hour or so. Soemtimes I do 2 or 3 at once. Then when I go on a buying spree, I logon with one of my main mules and keep it logged on while I jump on and off with the different mules and buy the credits out and transfer over. On a good day, I can logon to 20-25 mules in about an hour and trade everything over.

really, if I was consitent about it (which I am not) I could do, from work alone, 200 mules a week. Problem is, I get bored really easy.

Yes! I have noticed a heavier load on my machine too. It mainly affects Jungle Cruise (that I've noticed). But yesterday, I noticed that it also affects fireworks and pirates game.
It's been doing that since the last upgrade was done. So now I struggle to even make 60k on JC when I was usually doing over 64k (when my machine was co-operating). And in Pirates, I noticed the other day that I can no longer play with 4 people on each team when before, I had no problems.
