:rofl1: Yup, and you got me! All of a sudden overnight, this huge honking blue window pops up in the game! It was Adventure IMing me! I had not seen this before, and for me not being a family or group member, it startled a few feathers loose! :rofl1:

- giggles - :lolg: Me too! I was totally taken by surprise when those boxes pop up out of no where.
I seriously assumed VFK knew about this. As soon as the Family IM feature was working, I had been getting IM's from a paying member. I was thinking to myself ... hmmmm I highly doubt I'm supposed to be able to use this IM chat, if I'm not in a Family or a paying member myself? I'm sure there are bugs to work out, but what was even more strange is after a few minutes, a second huge blue box will pop up, with a continuation of the chat. Even if you don't close down the first box. Why we need more than 1 box, if it's the same member chatting I have no idea? :??:

From my discusion with VFK_Test, I don't think they were aware that it allowed it with all other people so I am sure they will be woorking to adjust this. I think for a person that does not want their kids to have IM with people they don't know, It might be a nice feature - but it is only for familys/(non-existant)groups. I find it is distracting and can't move it off the screen like regular IM you can make it not on top, there is no minimize or go to the back feature. Each feature I will eveluate what it's value is to me, I most likely will not pay a second time but that was my plan in advance. I could have opened regular IM with Purpleduck and been unrestricted and not have had the window in the way. Since it was very odd that we could not see people in the same room and I wanted to play with it a bit, I did it this way.
One thing that needs adjustment even during open hours is when a fire works game will start. it waits for an amount of time or untill several people join. In after hour mode - even in single player I often see other titles playing, I find that interesting but if I sign on at night to play I don't want to wait 10 minutes to start a 12 minute game. :wtf?:

Yes, another sleepless night. In case anyone is else is awake, VFK may be in LIVE mode. My friends list shows a few people, but I am not able to speak.
I am not VIP and could read and reply to IM's in the middle of AWA.

I'm on right now. Live. Talking with many others in a room. We can't sit or dance. Trying to figure out why we're here. LOL
