Why is it so hard to stay connected?!

Is it that much to ask that you don't get dc during a staff game! I'm so mad right now i finally got in and boom dc.

I think there's a few reasons...

1)VMK has alot of players.
2)VMK's server may not allow that many players so it has to DC some players evert certain amount of time.
3)Alot of people are constantly trying to enter the staff rooms.

I hardly ever get the chance to wait in line for a Host game. Woot Woot! Today I got in line for the Card Shark game I waited about 14 minutes in line and got DC!! Oh well, I guess I'm in good company.

The dc issue is one that fascinates me in vmk. It used to be every 30 minutes. It seems to have shortened to about 25 minutes recently. However, on the Sunday of the ride-a-thon (didnt do it on Saturday), the time between dc seemed to be MUCH longer.

I do not know if vmk sets a dc timer that wipes us off the server every "x" minutes or what exactly the situation is - as I dont know their server set-up, but it truly has to be the most frustrating issue of this game for me.

And even the staff is well aware of it. I was told by a HOST in a game once when the game was structured such that we were only playing against ourselves, "You have to beat your opponent - the dc monster."

They know it's there. They know we all have issues and struggles with it. I have no clue why they either 1) dont fix it or 2) intentionally have it.

Then again, it IS a free game........

BUT - we can help each other by not getting in arguments with the HOST or hanging out in the staff rooms when we are done playing so that our fellow players that are in line can move through faster - before the dc monster grabs us!

My thoughts exactly.

Well i'm happy to say I got in once and got to spin. The other four times I got dc.

 

[cat_herder]

Well, I think it is pretty funny that staff can DC too. But not funny when it happens in a staff game because I'm certain to DC myself before they return.

I wish I had an inferno for every time I have DC in staff game just as it was my turn to play.

 

[BellHop58]

Yeah then you would be rich.

 

[Disney Dreams]

Just thought I would post an update -

I got into staff event today. DC when I was one person away from spinning.

WHOOSH!

Hi - I am sure you guys are correct, but when i went to WDW, my family asked the man at the desk and he said, "Well, there are so many reasons but the main one is because VMK keeps changing. The stuff in all the rooms get moved and more people keep joining." i had NO CLUE what he meant about the stuff moving - maybe in HOST_? games?????? idk - so signing out.


the guy was helpful ( and cute must i mention ) LOL

see yas!! <3

lol, I guess that is the best he could come up with on the spot. The game is free and fun, so I can deal with all the dc's

We need to tell the tag fairy to keep her sister (dc fairy) under control lol

One day I was in for like an hour

I play other free games and this never happens... We can't hold the host and
staff responsible... I am sure they have nothing to do with the servers, which I think Disney has to try for someone else to handle VMK...since it is
growing so fast...But I do love VMK
