Virtual Magic Kingdom

From The Unofficial DisneyWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

Virtual Magic Kingdom, also known as VMK for short, is an online game by Disney. The beta version was released on May 23, 2005. The lands online at the time of launch were Main Street, USA, Adventureland, and Fantasyland, while Tomorrowland, Frontierland, and New Orleans Square opened later.

In VMK, players can chat and play together in a virtual version of Disneyland.

The game is made by Sulake Corporation with Macromedia Shockwave, the makers of the famous Habbo Hotel, and it is in operation daily between 10:00am and 1:00am EST (7:00am-10:00pm PST, 2:00pm-5:00am UTC).

A new player egins by registering an account at "http://www.vmk.com". The player then sets up a character (an avatar) and selects the character's gender and appearance (shirt, shoes, pants, hair, hat, face, and colors for skin and hair). The player will type in a name, but until the VMK staff approve the name they requested, their name will be Guest, followed by the number of player that they are (E.x. Guest7402548). If the name is not approved the VMK staff would let them create another name.

A player can also choose from a list of randomly-selected adjective-adjective-noun names presented to him or her; if he chooses one of these names, it does not need to be approved.

The player also selects a "guest room", his or her own themed area which can be decorated with furniture, posters, game items, or other material. One room is provided for free, and additional rooms can be purchased later with in-game credits.

The player can enter a few lines of text, known as a "(signature)", which will be displayed in the character's publicly-visible profile. The character is then given a few tradeable items (mostly T-shirts), and is placed in the game.

A visitor to the Magic Kingdom (in Florida) can create a character at a special VMK kiosk.
