Non-Disney Online Games Virtual Family Kingdom Thread

[Horse]

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....

Excellent idea!

I did like today's quest the most out of all of the ones we've had so far. If VFK continues to make educational quests like this, I think they're on the right path.

HPgal, I hope they allow players like yourself who have been waiting to get in to be able to play today.

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!!!

 

[HPgal]

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...

Hmmm well I did register on the waiting list a while back, and according to the homepage you still can in the yellow boxes. So if they were to open today to those who have already registered, would you get a confirmation email saying you can play and then you can register your username and password? I don't really know and I'd REALLY like to be able to play today. Any suggestions?

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 (Who would want the British flag if its AMERICA'S independence we're celebrating??)
Fireworks Game promised for tonight: 5 pm Pacific

Uh being that Canada is a commonwealth country I am sure many would want a British Flag and not to mention the UK Players????? I would choose a British Flag over an American any day. Sorry to burst you bubble.

I think it was very thoughtful to include the British flag because they were part of the founding of the USA. With out the British you would not be celebrating independence day

Never got a mention of Canada Birthday

I'm sorry Belle, I wasn't thinking. You're right, if I lived in the UK or Canada (or someplace else) I would feel the same way. Thanks for putting me back in my place.

I am sorry belle you are a most dear friend But I find the way this is worded to be an insult to our country and our flag and I find it offensive. I don't see anyone saying anything negative about the British flag.

Sorry bug if you read it that way. But being Canadian I am very proud of the monarchary. The Queen is Head of our Country. Yes she is on our money too. So if given the choice of Flags yes I would choose The Birtish flag all the time since there is a direct link to it. Not that your Flag is not nice but means nothing to me.

And that is the one thing I always hated about VMK here you had epcot but we always got an American flag and one I remember we could not trade.

I have no idea what you found offensive. It is true to have a history game you should include the flag of the other side which is the British and it ia true without the fight you would not be celebrating independence day it would be United States Birthday just like Canada. No independence day just Happy Birthday

 

[SharkMeal]

Ill is right, that info is straight from Gail, the person who answers the phone
calls.

Belle, I'm sorry you were upset I live in a European country and I understand it is an american game It's simply not possible for them to dedicate a quest to each country's celebrations

Happy Fourth to all us disers by the way

Once again it is all in the wording. I would never say anything bad about your flag or the British Flag but you make it very clear what you think of ours and that i find offensive.

And that is the one thing I always hated about VMK here you had epcot but we always got an American flag and one I remember we could not trade.

Not sure what you are talking about here. Which pin do you mean the 4th of July pin?

I am very Happy they included both flags and never said I was not. To be historically correct they should have both flags but it would have been cool if the flags were made to look like the flags during that era. Ink and I decided one of us would get American and one of us would get British .

[Belle1997]

But if you could only choose one. That is my point which flag would you choose. I must be dense because I do not see it. If I could have two then it is not a choice.

And with 911 I did wear the Canada/US flag. The point was made why would anyone choose the British Flag.

Thus was my response. If I had to choose I would always choose the Canadian Flag First then the British then the USA and so on. It is nothing against the USA in anyway. Just because I would not choose it when given a choice of British or USA. It has to do with what means the most to me.

I am not looking at this as I do not like the US Flag. Just if I was given a choice of either flag just one choice what would I choose. The Birtish all the time. Because I was born when Canada had the Union Jack as its Flag.

Hi,

What exactly has changed to make this Gamma besides the wording on a screen. With it being reported that Gail at VFK (lady that answers the phone) is now saying that the waiting list of people will not open today and will open up sometime next week. So besides the map last night I see nothing that would really indicate we are in a new stage. If I am missing something please let me know.

The Queen is Head of our Country.

Technically she is the Head of State of the Commonwealth of Nations (each nation being an autonomous community... equal in status to Great Britain.) Her role is more symbolic, as a focus for unity and identity, as each Commonwealth Community has their own government lead by a prime minster. The ability to make and pass legislation resides with an elected Parliament only, not with the monarchy.

Just making sure that that those who might not know are 'educated' as we are being inundated with history from VFK.

Someone impress me and give me the 16 sovereign colonies that make up the Commonwealth of Nations. (There are a total of 53 states by the way!)

Great question Bug. I do not see anything new other than the map. Maybe something new is just on the horizon.

But please everyone...remember *I* have been playing since BETA!
