Online Worlds > VFK - Virtual Family Kingdom

Beta is over, and Gamma has begun..

<< < (4/8) > >>

PrincessWendyBird:
OK, I just have to say how impressed I am by some things in this game. I know there are some functional features which need to be added. I also understand that this beta is different from others people have experienced. We have no past experience there, so I guess we are just enjoying watching things grow. I am not just cheerleading here - there are many things I hope will be added/changed and there are some things we have wished they might have done differently. But overall, we have been pleased. I stood in the park for a while this evening just watching VFK_Legend helping players. She was giving titles, changing titles, answering questions, all with a warmth and kindness which really impressed me. I saw some interactions which really made me feel very sure about the kind of people these are. Something I already knew really from several phone calls I have had to make to them. I stood for a while just watching as she helped person after person - it was interesting and also very nice to see. I just wanted to share that because to me this says a lot. I know some will say that these things should have already been taken care of, but I am glad to see them making such an effort to be with their community and fix things.  :)

Oh, also, Legend did say that they will be adding a delete feature to people's family lists. They originally planned to allow people to delete once a week, but are adding it as a permanent feature. She did joke that they were not expecting so many people to be deleting family members already.  :rofl3:

Hugs and Happy 4th of July everyone!  :hug:

Rofl - that boot from the family is rough. - I think this is questionable - if they will allow adding and removing I say thats fine but limit the goodies to 20 and add the password change feature.

Princess, as I said I am happy with the progress at this time but they clearly are not where they lead us to think they would be today and followed it up with a list of stuff to expect by Monday. I am not upset or mad just makes it difficult to know what to expect.  We used to Bash Yavn pretty good when he missed stuff - doesn't matter just alot of kids have expectations built up so I guess the long nights have not ended for the staff.  It my sound like I am down on them but this is the point where they have to put up - I am still pretty possitive but they will have more scrutiny from a lot of places moving forward. 

The word right now is the game is not up - the team is "working on the waiting list" and then the game will be up - this was regular VFK staff take it for what you want. 

ETA:from hom page added to the developers note
P.S.
For all of our existing Beta testers, we want you to know that we are running behind on including the new fireworks game, but we felt is was important to complete our testing so that all those on the waiting list could be included today.

With any luck, we should still have the game up this evening!

so staff had the correct story

PrincessWendyBird:
Oh, Add, I wasn't even commenting toward any post here. I think your opinions with the game are spot on. I do expect for them to get things going. Calling a spade a spade is not being down on the game, it is the truth. I think I was just posting in a moment where I had seen some really touching interactions between a developer and some players who I know were kids. I felt really happy at that point to be playing a game where this was happening. I agree they need to start being accountable and the "we are working on it" will only fly so far.  :)

Oh, and the family boot issue. We are waiting for them to get the delete feature added and we are going to "test" with a mule what happens when you add and delete. We do not plan on placing mules in the family, so we figured it would be a way to find out what happens to items, etc. Oh, and that family boot feature may come in handy in real life!  :rofl1:
