VMK stands for Virtual Magic Kingdom. It was an online game for kids, or adults, of all ages. Disney promoted the game, but it was found that Sulake is the actual creator of the game.
In VMK, you could make your own character, choose their clothes, hair style, hair color, skin tone, face structure, eyes, and you were able to create your own room/house. VMK had games, also, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Fantasyland's Firework Game, Jungle Cruise, Haunted Mansion, and many many quests you could try. Quest's on VMK are like the one's in the actual Disney parks, you win prizes & compete against others. VMK has developed over the years, and became a huge phenomenon. With over 9,000 kids playing at one time, the amount increasing and decreasing every minute, and new character's being made, fansites became known as a second VMK-life. There are many, many, many, VMK fansites, still open today.
As of May 21st, 2008, VMK closed its virtual gates for the last time. It was announced on April 8th, 2008, if I remember correctly. Every single member that was apart of the VMK Community was crushed, we were all depressed, and knew life wouldn't be the same without our beloved Virtual Magic Kingdom. VMK wasn't only a game to us, but it was a part of our lives, it became a part of us, and a part of our hearts. To hear that we would no longer be able to have part of our life, was the worst feeling you could think of, worse than a straight punch to the gut. It was horrible. Many people began to protest again VMK's closing. People were making signs and standing outside of Disney World, and Disneyland, screaming and shouting for their game back. Some called their local news stations, to get the word spread. Many succeeded. In the end, we did not keep VMK open before it closed, and it's currently closed today. But we have not given up, and we never will give up on our dear VMK. I, and many others, continue to protest against VMK's closure, and we've found that the VMK Homepage, is still up and running, but the " Click Here to Play " button, is no longer available for the public. We're all hoping, that one day, we'll get our game back, and we all pray for the day it re-opens its virtual gates.
