Bug, just a quick comment - his quote relates to kingdoms not to MMOG's. So in the world of "kingdoms" online which are not that many, it could possibly be a large kingdom. :lolg: It's all in how you say it and who will buy what you say, just need to read between the lines.
Just a little factoid I want to point out, the COPPA compliance issue that was brought up in a previous post here and of course elsewhere :thumb: (from the beginning of VFK), most likely had alot to do with finding an organization outside the states to run it. Online sites are regulated to follow rules within the US, more so then those outside the country. So I would not be surprised if that little issue and the failure to respond CARU's inquiry forced them to add that to the site. Whether the site was enhanced to have the COPPA requirements now, still many users are playing without having met the compliance rule for COPPA. The site as we know was not in compliance with COPPA at the time of presenting to the online worlds, therefore, in violation of COPPA. Makes me wonder what other compliance matters in the US they have not complied with, but not a surprise. heh
Just curious again, has anyone received the items promised?

I just want to clarify here, so that nobody gets confused. Fred and Gail are still very involved in the day to day workings of VFK. Clearly, there is a partnership of some kind here or some type of client relationship, which is not uncommon for small businesses. Trust me, I know, the small business King works for is having a "transition" period now. The web site listed above states that VFK is a client and we just talked to Gail and a developer on the phone within the past week. Just don't want anyone thinking they are out of the picture completely here, they are not. :)

Yes, it's Fred and Sara. Gail is the answer the phones lady.

That is the company that provides part of their servers. I don't know if you remember the explosion and fire they had a little bit into the game opening? I believe that happened at this location.
Just wanted to add, not sure about the "Sarah" connection. Don't know if that is part of their team or simply a character created to represent the game. I know there was a Sarah in game at the start as well. But, Fred and Gail-Anne Wade are husband and wife I believe. :)

I don't think there was confusion in that since the link that Aengus provided was for management consulting. And clearly they are a client, so no total reigns passed over, but some management consulting to help obviously.
