Went to VMK.com Its a neat site but you cant type in so many words (like days of week) the word name and many others very limited play...search for hidden mickeys and such. Its geared I guess to teens but most of the players are cms and adults they need to rethink this one...if they're gonna charge people. Got bored and quit after two days. Anyone Else play ?

Yeah, I've been there. It's fun at first, but pretty limited after a while. And yes, the restricted dictionary is a pain and a half. They promise it will get better as words are suggested and added, but we'll see.
The pirates game is pretty cool, but I'm bored with most of the rest already.

The limited dictionary is what erks me the most. When I did the test run at Magic Kingdom, they said they'd fix the bugs soon. I was pretty bored with it by day 2 also.

I took me 5 minutes to walk away.

The Line indicated VMC.com is geared to 10 - 12 yr. olds....if I read this correctly. Kept me from wasting my time checking the site out.

I was on the beta testing for Cast Members and I rather liked it. Then again, Im into the whole interactive idea (Which is why I still deck people who are taking too much time at Mission: SPACE RACE at EPCOT so a REAL player can get in there...ok, not really, but you get my point).
While yesterday was my first time playing IN PARK, my friend had a ton of fun doing the quests (Which makes the game a lot better). Granted being the person I am, I knew half the answers right off the bat, but there were a few that we had to look for.
Trust me, if you do the quests, then the cards for the items you get for answering the quests correctly are worth the time. Plus you get one of those rubber bracelets that says VMK (Didnt take long for Disney to jump on that bandwagon).

Another thing that those of you who "walked away" from the game have to remember is that VMK is still, for lack of better terms, an infant. It's still trying to find it's footing. All MMORPGs start off with little content then it gains more things to do later down the road.
Im going to call out CujoSR on this one (And I am in no way jumping you). You walked away in five minutes. Essentially, the only thing you did (Im guessing) is look at it and walk away. There's no way that you could full understand the game in five minutes, no way. There's so much to do it's not funny but you didn't give yourself the chance to find out about those things.
About being bored after Day 2, remember, not much to do if you simply play online, LittleOriginalOne. You have access to VMK central at the park itself right at your fingertips. Stop by and pick up one of the quests (I would suggest Fantasyland since it's right up your alley given your location at MK).
True it's geared towards 10-12 year olds. But if you would have been at the parks yesterday, you would have seen two 19 year old guys frantically running around like they had just lost their 5 year old brother and their parents were meeting up with them in five minutes, trying to find the answers to the quests.
Ok, so it's obvious that I'm defending the hell out of VMK, but it just seemed to me that you guys overlooked the game just by what you played or heard/read about. Give it a chance, you'd be amazed at what's in there.

The game depressed me when I realized there was a "market" for ONLINE digital pin trading.
