Just received a popup ingame that yesterdays scavenger hunt has ended, and that the new one will begin 'shortly'. FYI.

Wow....communication...I like!

Flamanar

EDIT: Hunt is on. Starts with a Frog Pond at the Crossroads outside your Garden.

Prizes: Plush Golden Duck & 1,000 credits

Lol. I don't know about VFK reading this board...but I think we can say with confidence that there are some 'fans' of mine that read here on a consistent basis.

To those people that have too much time on their hands (and an axe to grind), I say the following:

You know I always share, Pix

More than happy to toss a few 'fans' your way

....and is there such a thing as "more less"?

Flamanar...on with the show...

Wow. Age is going around checking all the 'targets'!! Go Age!!!!

BTW: the ham ridiculously tiny. I won't say where, but yer looking for something SMALL!!!

OMG -pulls hair out-...what is with all the people going AFK on TOP of the 'targets'? I just ran a person through and had THREE different times where a crowd of ppl were yelling at a person to get off the target...and they all said they were AFK!!! ARG!!

VFK needs to make some kind of 'barrier' around every target so that they do not become unclickable due to people standing too close.

Holy cow: chaos at the Opera House! Angry mobs yelling at ppl to get off the 'target'! Film at 11!

Have I mentioned the insane lag yet? It's bogging down every character of mine right now.

SPOILER BELOW!!!
-------------------------------------------
I think VFK had a good idea with the targets in a few places: placing objects where people can't get to them, or have difficulty getting to them. The gate house and Merlins Square targets come to mind. Or very tall targets, like the soldier at the zoo.

UPDATE: they've moved the target at Merlins Square to the ground!!! ARG!!!!

I caught Age moving the items. LOL. I thought I was in trouble cause I walked into the room and she poof in front of me. Scared me to dead... she laughed at that.

Gosh golly, I found the ham fairly easy; but that green drink at the Gate place - blech. First I went to the wrong Gate. When I found the right room there was some boy fairy blocking the drink (yep Flame, even where it was - the fairy blocked it!)

Flame, I bet they moved Merlin's Square to the ground because people forgot to look up

- And you mentioned insane lag.. I've gone insane from that lag -

And I'm still trying to give FREE ANSWERS to those asking - even though the lag is deading me

Pix, omg gosh girl. poor sweet Astro would have been blamed for moving items tonight; all along it was "evil" Pix who then got caught by Age...

(ok, it was Age moving them but Pix was looking so guilty

)

Okay, I know what happened to the drink. Funfly took it with her-- (whispers - she seeing sex ed wolves....) Not sure what was in it, but I guarantee it wasn't pixie port!!!

Candlestick holder is moved again! It is back on the balcony, and harder to see. So is the fan-- moved for the 3rd time.

Ahhh....single player mode is a little piece of heaven

Open 2 tabs on your browser. I'll name them tab 1 and tab 2 from left to right.

Log onto VFK using tab 1. Switch to tab 2 and log onto VFK USING THE SAME USER/PASS as tab 1 (you're logging the same player on both tabs).

Switch back to tab 1. You will eventually see a box that asks if you want to connect. DO NOT CLICK CONNECT! You want to hit the black 'x' in the upper right of this 'connection' box to close that box.

Tab 1 is now in single player mode, and tab 2 can be closed. It's a wonderful thing

The Soldier moved... @_@ Guess it was time for the changing of the guards?

Also, note.. you cannot do the scavenger hunt while you are doing a quest hunt. Only one at a time. Just found that out!

goldengourd · « **Reply #22 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:18 PM »

Hmm, that doesn't seem right, because you can start a quest and then come back to it. How annoying.

PrincessWendyBird · « **Reply #23 on:** May 25, 2009, 07:21 PM »

OK, I tried to get a video of the wolves at the zoo to add to our PBS type of nature shows at closing, but missed it.

They really did try to place objects in better places this time and Vintage is all over the place right now checking on things.

One thing with the cup in the gate house - there were some players doing the "people stacking" in there right by the cup on the roof. They were laughing and clearly blocking the cup on purpose the more they talked. They moved when King asked them to but then went right back to stacking. A few minutes later they "poofed" out of the room, so I am thinking there were many reports flooding the Help button.

Well, I think this is my favorite hunt so far. Woot - and I saw golden on the map helping out again.

You go get 'em girl!

Pix, did they change this hunt vs quest to only one at a time now?- because I was doing both earlier. But there were Staff/Hosts in the Crossroads saying they are fixing a problem...

King, love that new emote! -gosh, what am I saying! -

I just got on here first, and see

my golden duck!! I asked Vintage for one last night at close with Flame and .It. Age just laughed, made a joke, and put the regular yellow duck at my feet. Woohoo! (Thanks Pix too for your good wishes on the duck!)

Okay, so sounds like single player, and acknowledging things are moved, is what I should expect. Thankfully I only have Duck and one clone, so maybe I won't encounter too much difficulty?

I swear I did not move any Items tonight. Really Really Really I didn't.

On a side note, yes all of the below were missing when I ran the Hunt on clone:

Frog Pond & Soda Pop Cup were missing

Soldier & Fan were moved

Even Staff couldn't find that pond it seems!

The map is beyond lag.i for me, so I have tried to avoid that area at all costs, it's awful lonely otherwise in alone mode.
