Signing in, Feather Boy? If you do, I will too

YAY!!! A MAP!!! But it sounds like it's not really helpful??

no I am pretty busy today ROFL. Maybe I will have the time for my virtual tour tomorrow to see first hand how far it has come. I know the world is waiting for my first hand review

 

[Imagineer_Tech]

Yay A Space Age And A Retro Age!!!! Coming Soon!

 

[NedsTJ]

LOL....sorry, just found this funny...

I don't think I've ever been part of a Gamma test...(excluding of course when I was abducted by the aliens back in '03...)

 

[aengus]

heh.... Gamma testing @_@

next will be delta testing, next month?

good news Zeta girls, another 8 months and its Zeta time!

Omg Aengus! You skipped the E (epsilon) testing!!

So did they open to those on the waiting list or not?

Woot! I've never heard of Gamma testing...anyone else?

 

[TinkPinkPoem]

No, but if they have a testing phase for each letter of the greek alphabet..that's 24 testing phases!

 

[WWEDUDE]

I think the map would be better without the need for walking.. quite a ironic idea for a map.

Off to more gamma testing!

 

[Bee2u]

No, but if they have a testing phase for each letter of the greek alphabet..that's 24 testing phases!

That should be about right; plenty of time to work out the bugs and get all the features ready.

 

[TinkPinkPoem]

They're not open to the public or to those on the waiting list.

 

[WWEDUDE]

So we are walking down Victorian Main Street, comparing it to the colonial age.. @_@

Who creates this quests?

ETA: Woot now I have a 20 foot flag pole in my house

 

[NedsTJ]

I was thinking it would be neat if they actually partnered with Colonial Williamsburg to recreate Duke of Gloucester street...something the kids could visit virtually and maybe even in real....the rooms could be recreations of the actual buildings....with some liberties taken for virtual...but at least it'd be a real place that could bring with it some learning....case in point...how many kids first experience with the Magic Kingdom was VMK? Then going to the park, and being excited "Hey, that's just like in VMK!"...
just a thought....

You guys make fun of everything VFK does. If you read the chart on homepage
it says that after beta is the release candidate, which the release candidate
is gamma and delta. There won't be 24 testing phases lol.

Also is anyone else having the same trouble - the victorian street corner won't load for me so I can't
do the quest.

 

[HPgal]

I just checked their page and it still says beta is full, so maybe they are not opening today to the public? I guess they still have an hour to make that sort of change if they want to.

I was wondering if they would open today or not.

If they are facing server issues, as mentioned earlier somewhere in this thread, then they are not ready for 'over 50,000 players'. So they will (or have to) push the opening date once more.

No!!!! I've been waiting for this day FOREVER!!! I woke up early this morning and what do i find?? NO mention WHATSOEVER of them being open to the public! I dread what this means... another set back of course! I heard too late about VFK and so could not join the beta testing

Just like many of you have mentioned before, this was your ray of hope in the aftermath of VMK's closing. I feel the same way. When VMK closed, I felt as if a part of me was gone, an empty gap. Before VFK, it seemed like no other virtual game could ever replace VMK. And when I heard about VFK, my hopes soared, "Yes! Now maybe I can finally find another game worth playing!"

I've been waiting for VFK to open to the general public and finally, this was the day we had been promised. Please VFK, Don't Go Back On Your Word AGAIN!!

I ALSO don't wanna miss out on the quest, pin, new game or credits!!

Btw... I don't know if anybody has mentioned this or seen this already but there are several new announcements on the home page:
4th of July Quest-Both the British and American flags. (Thanks Belle)
Fireworks Game promised for tonight: 5 pm Pacific

Hey guys! I have a suggestion for the fireworks game supposedly coming out
today!!

Fireworks are launched in the air, you click them, they make a presidents face or
a country flag when they explode, and it gives you answer choices of what they
are and you have to memorize and identify all 500 flags/presidents!!!

Lol, I actually DO like that idea tho...

Lol, I actually DO like that idea tho...

I don't lol. I was just being silly because that's the way the audubon game is
that we all hate.. haha. It would be so funny if that's what the fireworks game
was. @_@

EDIT: I think you'll be able to register later today HPgal, I'll try to find staff and ask them.

STOP IT!!

For some reason, I can see that coming... I'm always going to be poor in this game... sigh....

 

[TikiIslander]

Sorry you can't get in, HPgal. I'm not sure why they aren't just opening to everyone- I don't think there would be an overwhelming amount of people joining, but that's the choice they made (although I can probably guess at why that is). I asked one of the developers about this a few days ago, and she said that today the game would be open to anyone who registered on the waiting list, but it won't be open to the public for a while. Not sure what a while means to them, but considering their development timeline, it could be next week! I have a feeling that their next big pledge drive will occur in three months, so that might be when they start thinking about going public.

The map certainly is interesting, but I don't think that's what anyone had in mind. It's a neat feature, but when you want a map, you want to get somewhere fast. It's just as frustrating to navigate the map as it is to get anywhere without it. Maybe they could fix it so you only exit to a room when you stop on a square instead of anytime you walk over one. I wonder why they don't want to have a regular map though...
