I think the game has turned into a chaotic mess. I think one of the factors is how unprofessional certain staff have been. In the past, and now. I know "Our opinions don't matter" but isn't that what built MyVMK? I mean, players have suggested items on the forums and they have been implemented into the game. Amy has held polls on what to release first, such as the original black mickey ears. Yes, I understand certain things are NOT our business, but I think it's a tad unfair how LisaWDW was promoted, and Cricket was the one to suffer. BUT we don't know the full story, and I don't want to jump to conclusions.
I went to LisaWDW a.k.a. VMK_Kali's non-calendar-listed event on Wednesday night. Amy was there. It was very fun, but... didn't seem fair at all that it hadn't been announced anywhere else. And she had apparently been doing a lot of those events. I almost won a firewall.
It was these events that Host_Cricket took issue with, prompting VMK_Kali to respond to her with very strong language. Awful, awful language.
I'm going to remember her words whenever I see her or her name again. They came from a private chat off-game, and I wouldn't have seen them if it hadn't been shared with me, but now that I have, they're going to stick with me. I'm always going to associate Kali with those words.
I don't know what could have sparked Kali to say those "awful" things to Cricket. Cricket could have done something first, but again we really don't know. However, I don't see how it's fair that Kali was promoted, sharing secret information with her friends and inviting them into her rooms. This is why I don't agree with having players take the roles as staff members. They can abuse their powers like that. But anyway, Amy and the others are all HUMAN. They are not robots. They have feelings just like we do, and I think the disrespect they've received is wrong. The ones who are trying need the respect. Amy pays a lot of money to keep this game running. It's more so the server she pays for, but running a game, fixing major bugs, and adding new content definitely takes up a lot of time and hard work, especially when you're solo. Yes, we can have opinions, but there is a fine line between opinions and hating/being disrespectful. I think some people in this thread need to chill. The staff are obviously under a lot of pressure at the moment, and the last they need is people to keep badgering them with disrespectful attitudes. Yes, the favoritism is wrong. I agree with that.
The staff who are hold "secret" events and giving out items without permission should be let go. Because it's what is contributing to how the community is falling apart. There is absolutely nothing we, the players can do at the moment. I feel as if the "magic" isn't there anymore, and it's driving so many well-liked players away. Sadly, as said above, we can only watch our childhood game crash and burn if things don't get better and certain staff keep abusing their powers. But I applaud the staff members who are actually doing their jobs and caring for the game.
