OK?

So it was a problem on vmk to, I HAD TO WAIT LIKE 3 WEEKS ON VMK TO GET MY NAME APPROVED!

Get over it please and wait there's over 8k a day according to them and like what 6 staff? ive seen guest into the 10k ranges give them a break ok? there's about 15000 players and like 10-15 staff they have to go there and manually accept the names.

There is no need to be hateful, Jason.



Tigger, I understand. It seems like in all the down time when players could not log in that they could have used that time to approve names instead of half of the people in the game still having to call one another guest.
I hope you get your title very soon!!

In the backyard with VFK_Smiles and she just told us that while VFK is a free game there will be some things that will be premium features that we will need to pay for to have and/or use...so much for the game will always be free...

There is no need to be so mean.

Dude, is this what you were hoping for?:

If you want pictures of my character with different hair and clothes, just let me know!

Apparently, someone was on the phone with VFK, and they are really nice people, and she said that Audubon's Outdoor Adventure (a mini game) is
supposed to be out later this evening. She said this around 4:45 EST.
Considering how much things have taken longer than they expected, I expect
this will not be released today, but hopefully soon ^_^

Yo Jazz. Ppl have a right to voice their opinion about this game and any other subject here on the board without being told to "get over it". Bottom line that game is frustrating as all get out.

Yes, but we all what know what the deal is by now. They have a lot of work to do and whining about it doesn't change anything. If people feel they could do it better, then go do it and let us know when you're up and running online.


If people have constructive suggestions for them, we will get a lot farther, alot faster.

You know what? I think ppl speak out of pure frustration. We had the vmk rug ripped out from under our feet, we all flock to vfk and its a huge let down. I dont think anyone is saying they can do better, Im sure they are doing all they can but again everyone is frustrated and looking for a new vmk replacement to start to build our lives again. Ppl just wanna voice their opinions and frustrations, not really looking for solutions or answers just to ARRRRR about things we have no control over.

But its just not nice to tell a fellow member to get over it. Shows no respect and compassion.

As usual just my opinion.
p.s. Im not bein a wise guy here, just so you know, ok?

 

[aengus]

All opinions are welcome in the thread

hugs everyone, take a deep breath

if people dont like the negative comments, they can skip past them. There always will be disagreements.

So I'm guessing this didn't happen, huh?

I thnk this sums up many people's experience thus far with VFK. The day after our beloved VMK announced the closing, the VFK folks announced their website. Many looked to the place to be an immediate replacement for VMK. Lots of my VMK friends already had room names made up for VFK that I was supposed to search for and find on May 22. Well, we all know how that went. IMO, VFK asked for this frustration, as they basically promised us a VMK replacement that was ready to be launched on May 22.

 

[Belle1997]

I have not given up on VFK, I know they just did not have enough time to do what needed to get done. I still go in everyday. As many diser do. But once you have seen a few friends nothing to do. I am sure when the game is really running it will be good.

I totally understand the frustration. But I still hope they can get it going. Yes we found a few games us older people can play but nothing for the whole family so it is important they keep trying.

 

[tofubeast]

I agree with LittleBelle. I am checking out another game as well, though it certainly is not for kids. I still want VFK to succeed. No reason I can't enjoy 2 games!

Nope. VFK is open early for testing and VFK_Surfer said the mini game will
be out late tonight. (still don't believe them somehow..) They are testing
because they got rid of the shadows because they caused lag.

They said with the mini game there will be credits, the map and inventory and
shops are coming soon but not today is what they said.

Also they said Audubon's Outdoor Adventure will be in the Wild West land.
Adventuredaz claims to have followed a tester into a secret passageway
that led to a sneak peak of the game. There are tire tracks on the floor and
if it's in the Wild West, you must ride in the stagecoach pulled by horses
(next to the general store) in the game.

Apparently it looks like the game is about taking photos of birds maybe??
If you google audubon, all you can find info about is birds, and in the
sneak peak adventuredaz posted on another forum, there is something
that appears to be a black bird flying across the room.

 

[Bee2u]

Just came from VFK, and there are very few people there compaared to what has been. I did see fewer guests and more real titles. Lag is better, but I'm not sure if it's because they got rid of our shadows or because there are so few there.

Much agreed, Belle! I have still been checking in there each day and visiting/walking around. The other games we are finding are fun, but my children cannot play them with us. (To clarify, we won't allow them to play with so much free chat) I really believe VFK will be the game of choice for our family. Until then, we will play some other things for grown up fun and -gasp- even enjojy some real life for a while.

And some dis'er tried to break into your house a while back, wanting to steal
a pink couch. What a fool!

Their first game is up. It's called Audobon's Wildlife Adventure and can be accessed in the Wild West land. Go to the last room in the Wild West. To the right will be the stable of Mr. Ned and to the left is the entrance for the game.

No rules or directions are posted yet and it's just a drive through now. You can click on the birds in the game and steer the Hummer through the course. No score or points accruing at this point. Driving over the gas cans isn't doing anything. I've seen 7 levels of the game so far.

I have nothing against the VMK Jungle Cruise game. Heck, I'm Ned's biggest fan. But if I was going to choose one of VMK's games to copy, I don't think I would have started with that one.

I give the folks at VFK an "A" for the effort. But, their MMO still has a long way to go.

Game is working now. Here's a brief overview:

Use the arrow keys to drive your Hummer. Use the mouse to click on the birds in the game.

Get 20 gas credits everytime you drive over a gas can. Gas gets used as you are driving. Lose gas by running over a rock or log.

In the Level 1, click on a bird. One choice for the species of bird. Click on the one choice and you get points.

In Level 2, two choices come up. You get points if you choose the correct species pictured. If you choose wrong, the background of picture turns red.

In Level 3, there are three choices. Keeps increasing as you go up in levels.

The longer you take to pick the right species, the fewer birds you can click on in a level and the less you can see where you're driving so you'll end up losing gas by hitting obstacles.

I like it so far. Any bird enthusiasts are going to do really well. This is not just a drive through and click like Jungle Cruise. You also have to recognize the species and click on the correct choice. I believe you have to wait for the bird to stop flying across the room and land before you can click on it. I am assuming the difficulty of this game will depend on how many species are in their database.
