Was it the ride in the park rofl

Was it the ride in the park rofl

Aww Belle, if that's true, it sucks big time!  Most especially because it is making the rides take longer, as there are 4 rooms in each ride now

No surprise that I can see.  Green: magic.  Purple: pot.  Pink:  pond.

...and yes...an extra room to ride through.  Now it takes longer to get through the ride...which increases the wait time for others...with increases the amount of ppl waiting in queues.  Blech.  At least we can get more magic and pots.

Well I rode them all. Nothing that went wow oh wow. Was nice to run through the park but your right taking longer to get through queues. Takes up more computer ram. I crashed 2 times going through Harmony rooms. She has the most lag. Takes forever to get through that second room. So I avoid her's now.

Which is sad because she did built the technically more difficult rooms.

I have a Cave Eye in my inventory. Only place I could of got it was the ride. So I'm figuring it was the surprise.

Yeah...I hate her second room.  It's WAY too long.  I can run through Fins room twice in the amount of time it takes to run through Harmonys one time.

They've been taking down the host rooms early due to long lines during previous ride events.  The lines are gonna get so big this time, I'm wondering if they'll take the rooms down an HOUR early this time around....please say it ain't so...

The Cave Eyes are the prize for today's quest.  Did you run the quest already?

[littlebelle]

Well in one way I like the shorter events cause you did not feel bad quitting early. Now it is double the time. Which is good because many more will get in. Bad because it reminds me of VMK when we sat all day waiting to ride. lol

Hi
Well ppl have have rode the ride twice, and have crashed twice ,and therefore have no prizes!!
I have said about it on the help button and so far no reply.
Ah well back to queue. lol

I'm not sure that this ride event went as smoothly as the others.  I'm not sure why either.      Regardless, it was kinda cool how they set it up to actually ride through a public room.   

Only I could actually fall off the ride    -- not once, but twice!  Don't ask me how, I have no idea.      Thank goodness I was able to walk to the start piece, and get back on.  Took me a long time, because of lag -- but at least doable.

lol, is that where they came from. I did the quest as quickly as I could, as I didn't have much time this morning, and didn't even look at the prize.

Ok I learned a painful lesson. When I was clearing ram My charcters would get dc if I was close to getting on the ride. 6 hours later they only got one piece each.  I could not figure out what was going on. They moved around. Like they should.

When I clicked to check the queue they would go back to the end of the line ahhhhhhhhhhh. Also at end of event it said host line was over. Because I kept the host ride tab open.

So I clicked go to littlebelle. It said they were disconnected UH??

So you know what happened as soon as I said go to friend the character would get on the ride. Problem was only one made it cause my computer froze to much. On my lap top.

Also I thought once I got a 4 core ram computer it could handle anything. Not the adobe 10 update it is even worse then just 10. So if you are still freezing and lag go back to adobe 9. It did and my life is so much better.

[littlebelle]

It was longer because of the extra room. There was more lag issues. I have no idea what the real issue was but my 2 charactera on my lap top never made a dent. Which mean the whole game was hogging so much memory. Those rive piece are great but the lag they cause will be a big issue for a bit.

Well, we have finally "recovered" here from today's ride event.  I do think the surprise was that we were indeed going to be riding through a public room, "The Victorian Park". I actually thought that was a really cool part of the ride event, but wish they would have taken another room out of the loop to keep the rides to 3 rooms.

There were a few more technical glitches and lag/freezing issues today than last time. I got stuck at a teleporter in a ride room early on. I sent a "Help" message with as many details as I could. (ride color and room I was in - room 2 of pink ride) When a few minutes went by I sent a second help message with the same details and let them know I was just going to have to refresh and get back in line. It took about 15-20 minutes, but I got a pop-up message letting me know that the prize for my color ride was in my inventory. So, if you crash before getting the prize or get stuck, etc. send help messages - a few if needed.

Overall, I was pretty happy with today. When I saw those ride pieces in the park early this morning I had visions of the servers crashing and all of us in single mode. Since they are still testing things, King and I wondered if this was a test of server capacity and technical issues with rides. (especially in a public room) I mean, today was a recipe for lag. It was a Sunday, quest day, the prizes were much coveted items, the event was held early enough for our UK friends to hop on also, and you had the ride going through the park where regular guests were talking, watching, and doing quests.

We had some quirky technical issues here too, but overall, I had a nice time today. I still love that people can stay in the queue and ride through even after the event is over. King and I took a nap with the kids while our last folks rode through.

Lol.  I took a little nap myself while my last 2 ppl ran through (they were in the 400's in line  ....).  However, they apparently split the orange and green queues (gold magic lines) when the other color lines ran empty (looks like ppl weren't into ponds and gold buckets as much as gold magic).  So I was down to about the 200 range, when I had one of my last 2 ppl pulled suddenly into the ride (unfortunately, she got stuck on the loading screen).  Then I was checking the status of my last person, and I got a message saying the queue was now closed!  So I sent a few help requests for the first person after about 5 minutes of frozen loading screen, and a help request for the last person.  About 5 minutes later, my last person was pulled into a queue...but not the orange queue they were in....they went into the blue queue (pond...blech)!  So I was perturbed that I'd get a pond instead of a magic, and when it showed a message at the end saying I won a pond, I started to type up a help report on that.  But before I finished, I checked my inventory and I WAS awarded the gold magic!  LOL.  So:  I'm guessing that once the pond lines and pot lines ran out, they spread the orange and green lines across all the now empty colors to speed up the process.  Eventually, I got the magic that my 'stuck person' should have received, BTW.

Moral of the story:  If something ever happens that prevents you from getting your ride award, always send in a help request or four.  You earned that award and they will not give you grief about giving it to you.

Overall, for us, it was a good and rewarding experience.  Saw some glitches.  Awesome time for a 'server stress test'...in fact it was a good stress test for me, too. Hehe

I was not so lucky.  I was in the Orange line and they still kept me in line even when it closed.  While on the ride, right before the end and you get your prize, they stopped the ride and it never gave me my Magic.  I proceed to write them a Help Message (four in totally for EACH person) and still no Magic.  I think they must have my Help button on ignore.  LOL!  I know they closed it while on the ride cause my Mom was on the same ride as I was and it happened to her too.  I mean I know I have a slow computer, but couldn't they wait for me instead of giving me the boot? 

Also I wrote to Help about what the surprise was for the ride event and still no answer.

yes I was surprised tonight that my muppet character who is still guest ? after say half a year lol. Sent a report that she was stuck on fin ride first room with about eight people. Host came in and freed two of us. I think the others dc. So I got to finish the ride. and get my magic but low and behold when she got on tonight there was a message thanking me for my report and the prize was in my inventory. I got a pot of gold. Kinda makes up for my other 2 that got one prize each in 6 hours. I sent more through because I know so many were having crash issues. I have a few extra so krazy I have magic for you. Already gave some away to others in sad states today. Met some new people. And just felt so bad for them .

Note to any aol is terrible on VFK. Causes many crashes if you are using ituse internet explorer.

I have some extra ponds too if you could not get it this week cause the maigc was calling you name.
