Trade or Treat!

[HeDiedxILive]

I was searching and searching. It popped up, and while I was moving the mouse to select, (not slowly I might add) it moved from one yellow to three red mickeys before I could even click!

 

[Tink Mick Koda Miles]

yea that was fast.. i clicked right away and it was 30 people already!

 

[sassymom]

Lucky you I was sitting waiting and searching and BAM full! I am never good at getting into host rooms I need to learn your secret.

 

[pixiewytch]

Heck, by the time I started clicking I already couldn't get in the room. I'm currently playing the click away, getting room full message This week has really been my first time trying to get into these host rooms. Is it pretty common to try for two hours and never get in at all? I'm just wondering if I'm wasting my time.

i got in line right when it opened about ten minutes ago behind 29 people.. ten minutes later i'm waiting behind 22 people.. it's taking the word slow line to a new level.. think Space Mountain without a fastpass on a scorching hot day with little kids tugging on your winter jacket.. that's how slow this line is moving

 

[sassymom]

In other words maybe I shouldn't bother trying. If it's that slow me clicking over and over to get the room full pop up just isn't worth it.

 

[sassymom]

Shouldn't all you kids be doing your homework? Just kidding.

 

[pixiewytch]

Sassymom, I'm feeling your frustration. Hey, at least those of you in line got in. This is my second night being completely shut out so far.

It seems to me that they should either open more of these rooms at once or at least offer some earlier in the day when the kids are at school.

Maybe it's just me, but I don't see the point of trying to get into a room as soon as it opens. I never search for a host room in advance, and I always end up getting in there. Sure, some days it can be difficult, but it's better than watching the clock until two minutes before the game starts to start searching for the room.

I was thinking the same thing. Throw in a Host event once a week during the day for all of us stay at home Mom's! Or any other stay at home or VMK at work players. Guess that's the price we pay for playing a game geared twords the younger bunch. I'm just hoping to get into one Host event this month I love that ghost pin and really want one.

Amen sister! You and I are on the same page with that one. I really want that ghost pin too which is why I've been trying.

When you think about it if they even had just one other room open, it would help tremendously with the traffic.

Oh, and as for timing, it doesn't seem to matter if I try to get in from the beginning or close to the end, I never get in. That's the only reason I've been trying from the time it opens.

 

[Tink Mick Koda Miles]

this is wayyyyyyyyy to slow! its a half hour later.. i came in at 30 people and i am only at 14!

 

[sassymom]

Well I'm off to the grocery store, Good Luck to those in and those trying.

 

[Disney Dreams]

Nope - cant get in. Ah - the downside to the death of the dc monster.

 

[Arwen]

I can't belive I got in at 49 10 minutes after it opened. And I am still only at 30 a half an hour later!

 

[TikiKrissy]

I've moved 21 people in 38 minutes. I wonder why the trading is so slow?

 

[VMK_MagicalLadee]

im behind 8 right now

 

[hdmonkeybug]

Me either - been trying since 5:25. Dropped kids at soccer and ran home to try to get into this room. Started searching, it wasn't there. Searched and searched until it popped up already full Do you think the hosts invite all of their friends to fill the room and then add it to the list? Just wondering. Anyway. Not worth trying anymore because I have to leave to pick up kids again. No trade event for me again!

 

[cat_herder]

One thing you need to remember if you get in the queue at 50, there are not 49 people in front of you, there are more likely 63 people in front of you, the rooms holds 14 people and the host.

I would rather stand in long line then be the one to DC. I can read a book or do something else while I wait.

 

[DaraAllen]

OK, I've got you all beat. So, I leave work early to get to the pin trading. I really like pins, in real life and VMK, and I'm always hoping a stray Mighty Eye Pin or Tomorrowland 8/9 pin happens to be there. I know, wishful thinking, but hey, got to have a positive attitude!

I click and click for 40 minutes. Yes, that's a 4 and a zero. I get in line! Yeah! I smile, then pop up the DISboards. I'm reading a post and INTERNET EXPLORER HAS ENCOUNTERED AN ERROR AND NEEDS TO CLOSE appears on my screen!



I'm breathing, in, out, in, out

I'm now #44 in line.
