Yes, the magic received from the quest is different than the magic you can buy.


Shark, I'm so glad you got the "Static Enchantment"!

I have to say that I actually like it better than VMK's lightning magic. For one, everyone has a chance to get it. Two, it really is more detailed and spread out.

Everyone has a chance to get every type of magic they gave out? Don't think so.

Just like it had happened in vmk, the magic pin given as prize from a quest was different than those sold in the shops. How about those who did not do the quest?

It may not have been lightning in this case but it was still a different type of magic.
 
Thanks King! And yes I noticed that with the 5 stars. Hehe.

And no flames from me belle I agree with all your posts so far :thumbsup2

And Tink: Sometimes you don't just get everything you want.. Items are not
meant for everyone in VFK to get then it would be silly to release trading. I lived
without many magics in VMK and that will happen in VFK too. :) Also king said everyone has
a CHANCE to get it, and it's a pretty big chance. The quest is not hard or long, it gives
out 10k and a type of magic. Spend that 10k on Static. Or earn the 10k yourself. Or if you
were in the shop you have a chance of getting it free. There are way too many chances to get
it, but if you just choose to not get it then well that's your fault.

And I agree Belle, everything has to have something wrong with it according
to this thread. If you don't like the way VFK has run the game then don't
play it.

EDIT: Also I heard that everyone gets a freebie, not just those who were in the store. I dunno,
staff are saying different things.

I am well aware that you don't always get what you want. It was not something special of vfk to give the opportunity to many to obtain this certain magic pin but in the future, as you said, things may be quite similar to the way vmk gave out pins.

And how is someone chosen to be "meant to" get an item? You just happen to play or not to get something or not.
 
It's always a matter of choice to get something in a game or not. Play more to get more credits or not, be there at a certain time to get something or not and so on.

Vfk is nothing new or exceptional, at least yet.

I had no idea VFK made any announcements that they didnt intend for everyone to have certain items, must have been on one of those newsletters they deleted :rotfl:
 
Watermarking is generally used to protect images from copyright infringement. Watermarking is generally done by the owner of the image not anyone else.


OK but is that not an issue with the people that run the fan site. It is not run by VFK. It was done by a member. I heard staff hosts thanking them for setting it up. Isn't that another boards issue. VFK gave the the list I have no idea why the board owner would do that. But I do not belief it is not the VFK developer issue.
 

1. Brace yourself...I agree the past week or so things were a bit more balanced.

2. So VFK gave free FX that sell for 10K in the store at an unannounced place/time. I am not pleased :mad:with VFK over this one. To those players that did get the freebie~What a great score! Congrats! :)

3. I agree that in addition to posting +/- feedback here, it would probably be a good idea to send it in using the contact us link....(Please don't fill my PM's again. I know even if you don't hear back from them I still suggest sending it in.) :surfweb:

4. One thing I will be sending in is my frustration that you have to select a quest prize. Just like I wanted both surfboards and ice cream sundaes, today I wanted both pins. :confused3 Please VFK. I don't want to play this game with a clone.



I do agree with you too. I do not like hosts giving free pins to players. On another site it talked about players being testers and should they be able to keep their pins.

I was not happy with the idea of any player being a tester. That should only be developers or staff.

I too would not like to have to choose which prize to get. Because it does encourage clones. Though I think it was set up for more trading. But right not not much equals anything for a trade.

Also they need to fix the lag in Merlin's store. Unless you have a real powerful computer it is too laggy to stay in there. Though I think it is a fun store to visit. Can not even type so just leave.

My question is how many of you remember your pet rock. We even make pet rocks in school :lmao: And what colour did your mood ring show. Mine was either bright blue or black:rotfl:

You can still do the quest, it's on through today, I believe. I think it was wrong to have to choose one over the other. Let's hope they have another quest for the other colors of quest prizes we couldn't choose. Again, as with vmk, those who mule will rule alongside those who know staff well. There should have been something on their homepage announcing a special gift for the grand opening of the new room.

Let me address that bold statement first. If staff doesn't even know what's going on, how can we as a community ever put our trust in vfk?

Congrats on getting 5* magic. I just wish everyone had that same opportunity. Not everyone is good at that one game, nor has the time to play it.

I agree people should at least attempt the quests, but the quests are inaccurate and tedious. There were multiple correct responses for a few of those questions. I'm sure most players used the cheats, as they did for the vmk quests, but if you googled, which I'm assuming was their intention, it would take most players an hour to complete. That's a pretty long quest, imo, and there was nothing 'fun' or entertaining about it, just saying random sentences and searching for useless trivia.

By saying that those who don't like the game should quit, you are not helping vfk's chances of improvement to become a great game. They have the potential, we are just trying to make them see it. And for the record, I do use their contact form, I have yet to get any response that they've ever been read.
Losing players will turn away any investors and believe me, they need investors. There are web spaces, software, hardware and servers to purchase (or rent), technical, design and moderation staff salaries to pay, utilities and office equipment are not free, either. Word of mouth will make or break a new game. They should concentrate on pleasing more than just a small group from a defunct game and get busy trying to please a wider range of gamers.
For starters, unique avatars would be awesome! I don't want to look like everyone else, I happened to like being green on vmk or having green hair on Socio and SW. Even just having green eyes as an option would be nice...I'm sure players from other ethnic backgrounds would like to see more options there, as well.
That's all, for now. I have an email to compose to them, again. :sad2:

I dont believe the person was addressing that as a VFK developer issue.


I dont even know what fansite and what user, I saw you ask why it was an issue, I just answered it.


Oh and belle, I did not have a pet rock... We couldn't afford such a luxury! I had a pet lint ball named Spot, real cute bugger :rotfl:

I know that you can still play the quest. I agree with you on the prize selection issue. I have never played with mules on vmk and don't plan to do so on vfk.

I wanted to comment on the staff confusion thing before, because really, how can you trust a game where even the staff is misinformed? :confused3

And I completely agree with all the other issues you pointed out. I couldn't have said it better myself.:thumbsup2

I do happen to agree that the staff/owner/developers have very poor
communication to each other when it comes to news and info. Hopefully
that will be worked out, VMK never had the greatest communication either. :headache:

Anyway, the avatars will be unique but we are still in beta testing and they
are still working on lots of stuff to be finalized and touched up. I see the
release of different skin colors and more clothes soon.

And about the investors and all that, I'm too young to get into all of that
so I'll just let win that one lol ;)

Agreed, VMK was horrible at this as well. I wish people would have learned this lesson, we all yelled loud enough during VMK's time. Hard to believe nobody heard us.

Several of us put our pet rocks in a group so we could have a rock band. And my mood ring was almost always blue. :)
 
Well it's nice to know that I have to keep my virtual house clean now for when a car decides to just drop on in :lmao: I hope they don't have a lot of mud on the tires, because i'm not cleaning it up!!:rotfl:

but on another note, i for one am not so sure that they are ready to release the game fully on the 4th of july. we still don't have a map or actions, and everything is still called a pink couch...people can't always exit a room just because one person is in the way. honestly, i think a few more things need to be worked out still, what do you all think? are they ready for their new july 4th release date?

It takes gaming companies usually 1 1/2 to 2 years to release a good game, they aren't going to be ready for a long time. I believe that whole spiel about showing us the release order (the alpha/beta/rc/gold thingy :) ) and telling how they are going to release candidate 1 is their way of downplaying their launch.

They arent even into beta yet still, for what a gaming company would call beta.
 
LittleBelle, you have been my inspiration. I've been working on this stinking bird game now for the past few days - have played roughly 20-25 games - and can now score consistently between 80-90 credits a game. I know, still LAME, but if you can perservere and succeed, so can I :goodvibes (and plus, I'm sick and tired of being POOR :rotfl2: )

On another note, I just want to say that one thing I LOVE about VFK is the ability to sign into single player mode during off hours to practice this game. No more frustration with ppl blocking the entrances as I try to navigate my way to the game, and no more ppl blocking my hummer so that I'm completely unable to play and have no choice but to go back to home and start my way over again. Thank you! (There's a positive that VMK never had ;) )

ETA: And I do have to add.... despite people's criticisms of using a hummer to navigate the game, I am slowly learning to identify all types of birds, and THAT is the purpose of the game! Doesn't matter what car/jeep/boat you drive.... :)
 
I think they are not ready either. I think they may be close to a beta now. But there is too much lag in Merlin's shop. There is no way to search for rooms. They need a map if they are going public. It has been ok for beta testers because we know the short cuts pretty well now.

You can still not stack things to make anything. There is no change in Avatar image that I think need sto be an option. No extra clothes.

If they open it up as a real game it will not go over very well. If they keep it as a beta and open it up to others waiting then that would be a good thing.

I think they have come a long way in such a short time. I hope they take their time. Too many things need fixed.

That said I am still having fun in VFK glitches bugs and all. But even I can see this is not ready as a public release game.

Yeah :cheer2: Pink :thumbsup2 You are on your way that is how I started out. I actually think some how they have tweaked the game an made it a little harder too. At least I notice I can tell a most birds by species but when you have say two woodpeckers. or two warblers I get them wrong all the time.

Oh well :) But don't you get a sense of accomplishment when you have learned a few more birds and you score gets higher. I sure do :)
 
ATTENTION: VFK IS NOW A LOAD OF GARBAGE.

Look at the home page to see what I mean.

Anyone who HAS A BRAIN will NOT pay 10 BUCKS A MONTH for
this. They are starting pay to play WAAAYY to early. VFK will lose
ALL of their members starting now. I've been patient with them confident
that they will become a better game and then when they are a good game
then they will start pay to play. THIS IS GARBAGE PEOPLE.

Do you have to press the 'Special offer' button to see that announcement? Because I can't find it elsewhere on the homepage.:confused3

I can't say I am suprised, because they seem not to know a thing about bussiness and sooner or later they would need to find the money to fund the game from somewhere.

I've said it before in previous posts and people doubted about it but sooner or later it would come up and now it did!

ETA: I just saw the page. The most absurd thing is that they give you a deadline to "become a founding member!". Good grief!
