What made you start playing VMK?

I honestly can't remember what drove me to play this game! I think I was in grade 5 or 6 when this game opened, I started playing a lot of "online world" games where you could create a character and live in a virtual world. Of course it started off with Habbo for me! I guess I eventually came upon VMK and realized that it was Disney, and just about cried of excitement. My entire pre-pubescent life revolved around VMK.... hahaha!
I was probably 10 years old and at the time and I was super into playing the Sims games on Playstation. Then I thought there were probably games on the computer much like it. So I literally googled "computer games like Sims" lol, and several pages back into Google was VMK. I clicked on it, made my character, and didn't stop playing until it closed.
Then last month, I decided to randomly google "VMK" and I found this about a week before it opened.
happy it is back.
So thank you Google. Haha.

And old real life friend from about 6th grade, her VMK name was dudekingdude introduced it to me during computer class one day and I was hooked since. I've never been to a Disney park and growing up loving Disney films and characters, it was a cool way for me to visit the parks and experience magic without the price tag. We haven't spoke in many years now but I still thank her for bringing me to this game. 
I didn't join till roughly 2006, so I wasn't around for the beta period or the opening of the game but I still loved it just the same.

My sister was trying to convince me to get off our good computer, and use the old, slow computer we had upstairs. I refused until she said something, "Go play your VMK game up there." I had no idea what VMK was at the time, but I was curious as to what it was. [she only knew of it because her friend played it] So of course I went to the old computer and signed up. But the computer was too slow to even run the game, so after a while, I kicked my sister off the good computer and began playing. I instantly fell in love.
I had just heard that the POTC movie was making a sequel titled "Dead Man's Chest", I found the website and it had this kind of silly little game there. I played it and noticed it gave me a code to use on some game called VMK, so I wrote it down and went through the VMK log in stuff. Once inside, I was pretty excited and had no idea how to enter the code, saw the POTC game and started playing. I eventually entered the code, and got some Skull Monkey or whatever, now here is the funny part, I was at work when this all happened at a job that had a lot of downtime, so I got to playing this at work everyday because my computer at home, at the time, was not even capable of VMK. The funniest part of this, is I ended up addicting the people I worked with on the evening shift at the time. We used to have 3 on 3 POTC CTF games and we would be in the same room on the same team, but we could only do this for like an hour, they got off earlier than I did.
