I was just thinking...we have had both pirate AND waterpark months, so are we going to repeat ALL the month themes? I know some items had to come out and all, such as the pirate outfit, but i would like to see some new themes and new items that we have never even thought of! popcorn::

post your thoughts here!:surfweb:
 
i think we need explorer month or something, bc we still need the khaiki explorer outfit!
 
I think the only excuse for recycled months is laziness. VMK can't come up with new ideas and items in time for a new month, so they recycle old ones. The result is 3 space months and 3 pirate months :lmao:

:lmao: LOL. I think they should stop putting out all the costumes out during halloween, and start using those costumes as month themed costumes. they're recycling costumes way too much too.
 
and a classic fairytale month.
when people dont know who briar rose is you have a problem

Oh no she didn't!
 
To all of you whom are waiting for "new" months I just have one word for you:: Suggest. Suggest your ideas to VMK- Maybe they will happen and maybe they won't but they can not please everyone in VMK. If you have problems with what VMK is bringing to the table then tell them. Let them know how you feel about things. Posting here is not doing any good. Go directly to the problem and address it- dont address it where people are just going to talk about it.

I personally have no problem with them re-using months themes, because I always find something different and fun about them. If you have a problem with them re-using certain themes then why don't you sell all of the new things that come out in the recyled months, and not use them. Just think.. if they didnt have this Summer Month again then we wouldnt have the new pin set, Palm/Beach Ball Chairs, Black Flips, Typhoon Suit, and the BB Chair. I am sure some of you wouldnt take it well if these were taken away, because people didnt appreciate VMK running and doing anything at all.

My main point is to not complain, because who knows.. VMK could be open one day and closed forever the next. Appreciate the things you have and accept it, because I am sure many of you could not live without it.

Actually I think there's more of a problem with Disney promoting things from Song of the South (i.e. the entire Splash Mountain ride) and yet they refuse to re-release that movie. At least kids can still see Sleeping Beauty.

I think people can post about it here if they'd like. Who is to say these same people who post here aren't also sending in suggestions? While I think it's always a good reminder to provide VMK with feedback, I don't think it's really fair to tell us not to address it where others will just talk about it.

Personally it wouldn't bother me if we didn't have the new TL outfit, the new pin set, and the new chairs. I'd like to see new themes. And while I think the new items we have are cool, I'd much more appreciate more creativity going into an all around new theme, which would trickle down to new items for that.
As far as many of us not being able to live without it...I guarantee you we can. Some people may greatly miss VMK, but we can live without it. It's not necessary for survival. ;)

Maybe not necessary for survival ... just for a happy survival :laughing:
Live without VMK? Noooooooo :scared1:

As I am new to VMK, these months are not recycled to me, or to plenty of other players. I don't think I would mind even if they were, after all the prizes are new. It's kind of like saying Christmas just gets recycled every year.. it's the same holiday but the memories are always different ... hopefully your gifts are too :laughing:

I was not saying that people dont send in suggestions and I didnt say that people couldn't post it here. Sorry, I dont like when people flip the words around to something I didnt say. I just wanted to say that many do not suggest anything and just sit, do nothing, wait and then complain- over and over. What I said is that just talking about it here will most likely not do anything.


"Personally" <-- A key word there. Maybe it would not bother you if you didnt have some items, and maybe you'd like to see new themes as well as some others, but it doesnt mean it's going to happen to fit your fancy. When things happen the way one player wants it then please inform me when VMKing is created :rolleyes1. If you think you have the creativity to have new months themes and new items for each month and have it all ready and on time then please go with others that would like that and create your own game, and still have patience while people are doing this cry, piss, and moaning about things.

As far as if VMK would close, etc.: I know that some would take it very hard, and then again some would just be upset. My point is that people need to appreciate what they have and accept that and live with it. Also.. to some VMK is something that keeps people going, and it's also become apart of peoples general lives. If it closed I know that some would not know what to do with their spare time :thumbsup2.

Right now the only thing that is keeping me alive and playing the game is my friends. I could care less about a months theme or what is coming out or whats new. It's about friends and having fun, and even if a theme is reclycled I've always found something new and entertaining to do. Keep it up VMK.. sometimes re-used things are better than new ones!
 
My view on this is not much of anything at all. I love the new beach items mainly because I just adore summer. I also loved the pirate items - especially the girl's costume :goodvibes - Quite frankly, I couldn't care less what the month's "theme" was because I don't participate in the HOST activities often and I don't do something in VMK simply because the month was titled. I'm not going to make a water park room just because it's water park month. I'll make a water park room whenever I darn well please lol. The only thing that amounts to me, really, are the items that are released. It would bug me if they released the same items over and over again but since that is hardly the case here, it doesn't seem a problem. Similar furnishings might be released but of different color.

It makes sense to have a pirate themed month during the month Disney is releasing the movie. We can't forget here that VMK is a promotional game for the Disney company. What better way to promote Pirates of the Caribbean than making it publically apparent within the game? Last May Pirates of the Caribbean 2 was released. Last May was pirate's month. The same goes for thie year with Pirates of the Caribbean 3.

I, personally, love hearing about the water parks during the summer. It really gets me excited for having fun in the sun!

Like I said before, I would complain if they gave us the same items, but since they aren't, I'm not going to get huffy about it. :upsidedow
 
Ok now, let's not turn this into a fighting thread! We are all just expressing what we like about the themed months. I was just wondering if some ppl thought they should have new themes or if they like the same ones, and actually, i don't have a problem with anybody saying anything like what they want to see, but i would just like to clear something up. I have absolutely no problem with them re-using themed months. I love all items that VMK throws at us, and sure enough, i'm there to buy them! I would just like to see something new here and there, a little surprise, or...a sprinkle of magic :)
Surprises are fun (most of the time) and give joy to many people. Hey, a mansion theme would be great! and so would a classic fairytale month! Like I said, we're all here to express what we want to say, so let's not ruin that :)
 
Pirates month seemed like a logical theme to recycle because of the release of POTC 3. Water Parks makes sense too because Disney wants to advertise said parks and make money on them. But I'm not a fan of recycled months or items very much. I would love to see truly new themes and new concepts instead of variations of the same thing. Last Halloween was a good example of that-- lots of costumes, but no truly new costumes, only re-released ones and different, previously unreleased colors of costumes we already had, and we had already seen those costumes previewed before anyway. New hats were great, but just one new costume would've been lovely. I'd love to see themes like a Fab 5 month, a Toy Story month, and an MGM month, and some kind of Parks around the World month so our friends in Europe and Asia can have their parks celebrated and those of us who don't live there can learn more about them. There's plenty of options they have, including plenty of Disney characters to be used.

VMK is generally an enjoyable game if you can manage to not be driven crazy by some of the absurdities of late. I'm happy it's there for me to play it. But being grateful and offering constructive criticism are not mutually exclusive; like any company and any product, consumers can share their displeasure with various aspects of things as well as praise what they like. Yes, VMK is about having fun, but to some, the theme months are a big part of the fun. When it's the same theme repeated, it takes away from the fun somewhat for some of us. And yup, VMK is technically free, but how many people here have spent real life dough to get VMK items? So, many of us are financially invested in the game, whether it's by spending $14 on a pirate pins box plus shipping charges, or planning vacations around quest items. I don't see how sharing opinions about disappointment over repetitive theme months equals "cry[ing] ... and moaning about things." :confused3

I suppose my main point is VMK does provide us with a way to leave feedback (whether it gets read or not is another question :rolleyes: ), and if they really wanted none, that feature wouldn't be there. And anytime you're dealing with anything with the Disney name in front of it, people expect creativity, originality, and something new and exciting. Whether that's fair or unfair to Disney is not the point, but the fact remains, like is said on the Travel Channel specials, people's expectations for Disney trips are higher than most if not everything in life, and I believe that carries over into the game as well.
 
Some themes I think would be cool:

  • Prince and Princesses
  • Haunted Mansion (when it reopens in WDW)
  • Something EPCOTish or Spaceship Earthish for the upcoming anniversary

I would like to see something like a "wheel of fortune" where each VMKer get only one shot to spin the wheel and they win one full Disney character costume. This means ears, hat, suit, shoes, gloves, pants, dress, shirt, whatever they need to complete the character. Not even gender specific. That would make for some fun trading.

First of all, some of your comments are uncalled for. I didn't say it is VMKing. But I have a right to speak my opinions on the game as much as you do.

If you're fine with what VMK is doing, that's great. Some of us aren't though, and just because you disagree doesn't mean that we should remain silent about it. You're more than welcome not to participate in the threads that complain if they bother you. My use of the word personally is because I recognize that this is my opinion. Just like your posts are your opinion. But I didn't come on here attacking you...and I'd appreciate it if you would give me the same respect.
