I got two people to play this with an outside perspective..
- Thread starter Zeppelin is a ten
- Start date
That's what bothers me though. I want this game to grow with people that have never played this game before, but there aren't enough friendly people around here. I try to make things interesting, give people free stuff when I can but there are a lot of people that are just straight up rude to new people because they have a fish hat on or something (I've seen it happen).
This is half true, but most of the people who played original VMK were adults, but you gotta think that the other half the the community were much younger and were children/pre-teens/teens because it was a Disney game.
Yes, I agree. There's too many snobby people. I generally don't talk because I'm not very social and kind of shy, but there are other players who are so rude and snobby it makes me so angry. It's unnecessary to be rude to a player, and it kind of ruins it for them because they're playing again to relive the 'magic', and are excited that their favorite online game is back, and if they're a brand new player and haven't played VMK, it ruins the fun, honestly. The least you could do is be nice to them. It costs nothing to be nice.
Yes, there people on this site who are much younger than everyone else yet they're very mature and don't stir up trouble. And oh God no, the old filter was beyond awful. You couldn't say a proper sentence without fixing words so they're acceptable.

Honestly, most of the prominent players who play the game/visit the forum act immature 24/7. Those are often the people you see all the time in the shoutbox or in game... but then there's tons of players who do stick to themselves and never bother anybody. The people you mainly see are people in the "cliques". So a younger child being considered more mature than some of the older players doesn't really mean much to me... I mean have you seen some of what's said and goes on with these cliques? But then again, maturity is pretty subjective.
As @Aka already mentioned, I think it just boils down to how you're raised and how you are as a person. Apparently my friends and I seem to be the only ones to have encounters with adults who act worse than the young adults. I've found many adults to act pettier than young adults in a lot of situations that involve the game. I think another factor is that too many people invest way too much time into this game and spend way too much time trying to get attention from others or trying to impress people. It shouldn't take over your life; it's just a game.

This is why I don't even bother with the shout box or trade rooms anymore unless I feel it's void of those who I suspect will stir up drama. With that in mind, I'm enjoying the game no problem and am meeting some nice people.Just to add in my own words, I think where most are getting at is if someone's new, they may not know how to cope with certain people who have a poor attitude and enjoy the game otherwise. Considering most are college students, high schoolers I get where some kids or older adults can't relate or understandly have enough patience and sadly the kind ones I knew who have tried were turned off by clique attitude you mention that does definitely exists. I'll just leave it at that. I do believe the community isn't bad as claimed explained in my prior post. Yeah and I guess how you take it - the game and people - depends on who you are and what you make of it

Yep, exactly what I was saying. It really has nothing to do with age. Some people are just... themselves, and I guess they'll likely just stay that way until they see their faults. All you can do is have hope for them, I suppose.
Wow... I mean I can understand that bullying is bad on any level but I guess I'm not as involved with the community as a lot of people on here are. Not that I haven't made friends with people and I don't socialize, but like I haven't really gone to places that I guess would warrant such antagonizing behavior. Where are things like this going on? I am genuinely curious...
Absolutely right.
The community is nearly the same as it always was, we all have aged since. A filter would only push people out; why can't we talk our minds? Nobody here is an impressionable baby. Surround yourself with the friends you want and avoid those you don't. Or be nice to people if they're treating you a way you don't want to be treated. You could either win them over or make them feel stupid for how they're treating you. But I shouldn't have to tell you all this because it's a real life lesson. And although some of you may have problems with the community, (My)VMK is just a microcosm of the real live world.

I got my sister into playing as well. She told me that everyone already has their own circle and doesn't really communicate with anyone else.
All she does it buy rooms and furnish them because of that.
And to be honest I completely agree.
People came into a room of mine and completely ignored me. If I go into a room and the owner tries to speak with me, I will acknowledge their existence.
The people in this game are very stuck up and they hide behind a keyboard. It takes the fun out of the game honestly.

I was 'new' a couple weeks ago though I played in the fall and winter, I made a new account then and didn't really know anyone again. But I quickly made a great group of friends that I always hang out with in game, and I'm friends with a lot of others in other groups and stuff. You just have to be friendly with a sense of humor and engage groups of people in conversation. Play room games, they're a great icebreaker. If someone is intentionally mean or stuck up, screw them and go somewhere else. I've found people on here to be generally nice and funny idk.
THIS.
My cousin briefly played the game (for like a day) but was turned off because there was "nothing to do" and people were reaaallly rude to her. Most people called her a clone, without her even acting like one. She was just asking questions, not asking for free.
Personally, I feel like anyone who joins the game at this point will be very put off and ridiculed, and probably won't stay on for long because of the community.

I'm just throwing this out there: I would be a lot happier if the two most common phrases in VMK were not "o" and "cri."
But on a more serious note, I agree that snobbiness is rampant in MyVMK. Unfortunately, there's no way to control that. I really wish people would learn kindness and boundaries though. We all start out as "noobs!"

From the posts in this thread, it looks to me like people aren't getting to be themselves in MyVMK. No one can say or do anything without people criticizing or ignoring them. I feel like if everyone were a little more accepting and a little more kind, the game might actually grow. MyVMK is supposed to be a place where we can come to escape real-life judgement and criticism, not a place where we receive it.
I understand where you're coming from, I suppose, but I am kind to people... I also find myself to be quiet funny- if I do say so myself. It still is hard for me to befriend people even being kind or humorous, and in my opinion it's a lot easier for males to make friends in the game. I don't know if it's because girls are so caty or what, but I find it extremely hard to make friends now unless they happen to be new and looking for friends.
