Wow, all the fun I've been missing I see in VFK. I have to agree with Bug, in that I have personally noticed when some VFK Staff does not have an answer to a question, or doesn't want to hear a question, they just disappear. It's happened more than one time. And it's very obvious that they just leave on their own, and it's not disconnection problems.
As far as all these items being sold. Wow! I had no idea. Count me in the group of folks that are terrible at the Bird mini game. It's just not my cup of tea. So until they get a mini game I actually like or can play, I'll probably be broke. Belle, you are doing great with your bank account! I don't even think I have 1k in credits.
I don't agree with VFK releasing items for 1 day, as others have said that a lot of us, have only been checking into VFK every few days.
Many of the new games I have been trying, you have a chance to build your space. The only space that I have actually spent credits and time building in, is SmallWorlds. That tells me something, that is where I want "home" to be most likely, and for the moment.
I was pulling for VFK all the way, I still am. I want VFK to survive. But then came along SmallWorlds. I have to admit, since then, I really haven't even been logging into VFK. I got bored and frustrated with it quick. I still haven't found all my VMK friends in VFK, and that adds to my frustration. It doesn't even bother me one bit that all my accumulated stuff in SW will disappear when beta is over, and I have to start all over again. It doesn't bother me that all the questing I've completed, I will need to do again. I'm having a blast! It's kept my attention and it's fun.
