I'm not one for supporting a cause or signing petitions, but when it comes to a company like Disney creating an MMOG, leaving it up for 3 years then yanking it out of the hands of the addicted kids and moms, it's kinda f'd up.
When MMO's get their plugs pulled, they usually deserve it. Usually I "lol" at the petitions and tell those who have been forced to go cold turkey to just go in a corner and cry a river.
I never heard of Disney's VMK until the other day, but it just seems messed up that Disney would commit such douchebaggery in an attempt to get all their subscribers into the newer and updated services.
Here's the link for the press release: http://www.zergwatch.com/News-964/Disney039s-attempt-to-shut-down-MMORPG-met-with-resistance.html
Here's the link for the petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/07171955/petition.html
I know, I know petitions fail, but wtf its for the kids and soccer moms.
I actually played this thing with my family friends daughter. She is an MMO lover like myself and showed me VMK, we both will miss VMK but I am getting her into the bigger free to play MMO's and she is excited about them all. But VMK was a safe kid friendly environment for her and no matter where she goes now it wont be nearly as safe. But I am helping her mom to ensure filters and things are turned on to ensure safe playing experience.
