Ok, my two cents.
I've had a positive outlook on the game up to this point, play it almost every day, and have been enjoying it with my fiance. I would like nothing more than to support it. I agree with everyone that it is premature to start asking to pay $10 a month for a game at this level of development.
First, I wanted to call them and clear a few things up before making a decision about being a paying member. Being a typical suspicious New Yorker, I blocked my phone number when I called them yesterday. Not about to have my number potentially sold to telemarketers or whoever. Three times I called and a woman answered at VFK, I got a sentence or two out, then the line went dead. Never got one question out. Used my phone a bunch of other times during the day to call other people without a problem. Hmm, were they hoping I would call back and unblock my number? Red flag number one.
Next, the unsecure website where we send our credit card info over the internet. No
https: there with the lock icon and green address bar that should be present any time you send your financial information to anyone on the net. Anyone remember in an early form of their Terms of Service when we first signed up that they will not be held accountable if they lose or if anyone steals your credit card information? I do.
They opted not to use a highly reputable company like Paypal for the transmission of payment. And it's going to a company called AIRCON in Australia. I Googled that company and it sells air conditioners.
Do I have doubts of what you will be receiving in the mail from them? Yes. "Features may change depending on availability" scares me. This would allow them to replace at their discretion
all of the items you think you would be getting.
The shirt does not say youth or adult, it's just a generic size dropdown box, so I am doubtful a shirt will even come. With a family game, they should have both youth and adult shirts available.
Next, one part of the site says you get a totebag (no mention of a shirt) and on another page it says t-shirt with no mention of the totebag. And who knows what the pin looks like. No picture of it. It could be a little cheap piece of plastic that just has the letters VFK stamped on it.
Finally, is the "hurry, offer ends soon" push. Never a good sign.
So, I am going with my gut instinct and not sending any money. I really hope I am wrong because I don't want to see any more hurt inflicted upon our VMK community. We've gone through enough in the past two months.
In VFK, I look like a zombie. My daughter is still a guest so even if she found any friends, they wouldn't know her.
After hours, I want my kids off the computer.
