Hello fellow fairies! Sorry for not getting on and posting sooner. My little princess (princessmadiro) keeps me so busy that I sometimes only have enough time to read the forums just to keep up with all of the games she plays. (I promise to introduce myself in the proper thread soon)
Just when I think Disney can't upset me anymore than they already have they go and do it again.
I too thought that with pixie hollow you would still be able to buy a few things in the shops without being a member (pay to play). I figured there would be exclusive things for members only and if you bought the toys etc. It sure would have been nice if they explained all of this on the home page and not find it out in game. Of course my little princess wants to buy a few items NOW!
I had bought a tinkerbell toy for her way before beta started and then even found out that the code in it was one of the same codes posted in another thread. At least I don't have to buy any more toys to collect dust (and I'm not talking about pixie dust here). The whole clickable toy line is another scam. Princess will never be able to connect with a friend in real. She would never be able to get those badges.
I bought the Barbie MP3 player last year when that online game came out. The idea was that if you had the MP3 player you would get exclusive access to certain places and items to buy. Well it was like having the princess hat on VFK (don't get me started there ok)- that didn't fly for long cause no one was buying the MP3 player and everyone was asking those that did have one to buy them this or that but you couldn't even gift them exclusive items unless they had an MP3 player. Well that didn't last long and so they went to pay to play. You can't buy anything now without paying- I guess disney WAS watching that game after all. Believe me i don't mind paying if it keeps my princess happy (and if she continues to play the game). But they shouldn't totally exclude the kids from buying at least some items. Give them some reward for playing the game.
Since VMK closed I have had so many problems with my disney registration/login.I have been on the phone several times with WDIG, on live chat support and email with SEVERAL of their games. My username somehow keeps getting changed to something else some how and no one knows why. It should be the same with ALL the disney games right? Now in Pixie Hollow they asked princess for a D-name and they won't let her put in the D-name she already has. I'm afraid that if i go ahead and pay to play its going to mess up my login and her login all over again. UGH!!! I've got a major headache! Looks like i need to send another email and make another phone call to them.
SHAME on you disney for breaking my little princess's heart over and over again!
Thanks for listening to me vent!
Hope on pixie Hollow
