There's something that's been bothering me for several months now and I just can't take it anymore. I used to be excited to log onto VMK and relive my childhood while spending time with all my amazing friends but something changed. This game just isn't what it used to be and I know many others feel the same. Now people don't log on as much or for as long, and people just don't seem as happy to be online as they used to be. I believe the reason for this is that VMK has changed to the point where it's just not as worthwhile to be online as it used to be, and people miss the things that used to give them joy. There is one thing in particular that I feel will make all the difference in making MyVMK great again. Because after all, this is MyVMK, and your VMK, and our VMK, and we deserve to be heard.
When I go into a room, I sometimes spend up to five minutes trying to position myself correctly to stand with my friends in a way that's aesthetically pleasing. Sometimes this isn't even possible because of the current controls on VMK. I wake up with cold sweats itching to press the ctrl key and move my mouse in circles around my character to watch her spin with excitement and joy. I take dance classes to try to relive the feeling of spinning on VMK but it just isn't the same. I've tried ballet, contemporary, hip hop, jazz, ballroom, and even flamenco dance which all have their own forms of spinning but nothing comes close. Life just isn't the same anymore without spinning. It's dark and dreary and there's nothing to look forward to. Sure, the events are great and staff do their best but nothing compares to the feeling of spinning on VMK. I sit in rooms aimlessly moving my mouse in circles around my character to try to relive the feeling to no avail. You've given us this addiction and taken away our ability to indulge in it and made us quit cold turkey. Many of us are having withdrawals, yet we're unable to simply walk into a psychiatrist's office and tell them we miss spinning on VMK. There's simply too much to explain. It would be easier to explain having an urge to kill, or an urge to eat cheese nips in the shower. Some days I can't eat or sleep because I lie awake thinking of my character spinning circles around my head, taunting me.
Please Amy, give us back the ability to spin on VMK. There is no other way for us to satisfy this itch and I don't know how long many of us will be able to continue living without it. Sure, we can continue going through the motions but surviving isn't living and taking away spinning has taken all the joy from my life. I've done all I can to support you in the way you run MyVMK and defend your choices but taking away spinning was one choice I can never defend. Please make this right. Make MyVMK great again.
