BTW.  The treasure chest is a beta item that is being released again.

You just have to know there are some really p.o.'d people out there this weekend.

Oh I can only imagine what some are saying about this release. I am almost afraid to go read some of their comments. I just figured it was way too beta for me to ever have one so I never tried to trade for one, kind of like green flips. But thats vmk for you. On a positive note, the new stuff looks great and I am very excited about the pirate theme again.  :clap2: :clap1: :2thunbs:

I saw the skull in Phinny's host room tonight.  It is huge! 
The ship is pretty small.   She also demonstrated the shark magic (Jaws!).  I like it!

But doesn't beta usually mean an item is being tested for possible commercial release???

Also, please forgive my ignorance, but what does "PPR" stand for?  I'm sure it's something really obvious and I'm going to be totally embarrassed to find out, but it's driving me crazy!   :crazy:

During VMK's beta testing period there were some items that were released for sale.  Once VMK officially opened some of these items went away, never to be seen again.  Others have been re-released over time.  Here is a list of some of those items and their status.   http://www.vmknobs.com/index.php?topic=1232.msg8518#msg8518


Thanks for asking about "PPR."  I've changed it in the original post.

I thought they would bring back the cyan treasure chest first, just because vmk hates me... I am actually surprised.

But, excited about the peter pan stuff... geeze, i am so far behind i really need to start working on getting some credits....
