Topic: No Space Pirates test? (Read 4930 times)

Did anyone notice that it says this on the website:

Virtual Family Kingdom is Closed for the Night,
and will reopen tomorrow at 7:00 AM pacific time.

You can still login in single user mode, customize your character, save changes and explore the world!

To play in single user mode, simply login by clicking the Play Now button below.

See you tomorrow morning!

But they opened up again a half hour later and stayed open all night?

I was there till around 5:30 AM. Just like last night.

Still nothing happened.

I stayed up thinking we would test out Space Pirates, but nope.

I've stayed up few times before when I've seen info posted on a certain forum for test night....however, I've never seen anything when I did. (makes ya wonder sometimes) So now I don't expect it.

Krazy, I believe that blurb is on their website every night.

VFK has been going live it seems every night after close. I can't remember the last time they were actually NOT open and live, after normal closing. It seems sometimes they don't close first, but most times they do close for like 10 minutes or sometimes a half hour, before they go live again. If you are in between that window, you are in single user mode. Refresh and then you could be in live mode at some point. Sometimes they do shut down the live test for the night. But I think more times, it's been open all night.

Most times I like to just play birds to catch up on credits at this time. I honestly have never been part of an actual live test of anything special. I've only seen staff a few times after hours, and nothing special ever happened. I just like the extra hours after closing, since I'm a night owl anyway. Less lag for me too. To explore, buy things, or earn credits.

Hmmm, yes it seems like it more and more so maybe its a test to keep it open 24/7? Different time zones could have different people watching the game. Well, at least it is less lag. Yes!!!!!

However, if lag is there I will find it. Hehe.

Yep, the game has been live pretty much every night. Staff have not been around very much and it is my understanding they are testing behind the scenes. It has not been like it was in the beginning where players might stumble across a live test. That rarely happens, if at all anymore. Several nights ago, I hopped on to do something late and had to call for staff because of several young players dictionary dancing terrible things. Staff zapped them gone, then just sent and IM letting me know it had been taken care of. Seems like they are busy behind the scenes.
