I cant believe I did not even notice the signs of its closing though. That advertising was a big one... buying club penguin too. Well, I used to play club penguin (not for long- it got boring) and I got really excited when Disney was buying it because I was like "Oh great! They are going to make it fun to play, and make it free!" Well, I guess all they wanted was another business still, and kepy with the membership thing on that. Oh. Its really weird how that all happened- remember the first used to be rare item they started selling? Flip hats at the emporium. That is when it started getting fishy on vmk... I think at least. They just kind of changed what they sold, mostly older rare items. I feel sorry for those of you who had all of them before, by the end everyone was an equal just about. Why do you think VMk central in the parks closed down so early? Do you think they knew then, or that they thought the promotion would have been over by then so took it down? I never even went in vmk central before, it closed a month before my trip there. The last thing that was really weird was the huge quest. What was with that? Who planned that? there are so many rumors, and I just wish we could all know the truth you know? I will probably spend alot of time wondering about what really happened until (if) Disney ever decides to tell us the actual reasons for these things. Still not giving up hope for vmk's return though!
