    Default Retiring From VMK

    VMK was a daily thing for me a few years ago. With the difficult job I had, talking to everyone here and playing the games was an enjoyable escape at the end of the day.

    However, the job is gone, and the games seem to have become more hand intensive (with my hand pain, I can't play as much as before).

    I've unofficially been off VMK for a while, but I'm now officially retiring from the game, as I realize that even visiting just to talk is too much typing for me. I'll still be reading Intercot, though, to see how everyone is doing.

    Here's my question: What do I do with my stuff? I don't want to just let my character get deleted, as I have some rare and uncommon items, as well as over 50,000 credits. I'd like to give everything to you guys, to run a quest for everyone, if someone were willing to do it.

    Any advice?

    Oh, and I apologize if I've put this in the wrong section.

    Hi Venetia. Sorry to see you go, but it is understandable.

    As far as your stuff...do you have a quest machine? I do not, but if you have a machine, then you could make a simple quest to give your stuff and credits away.

    Hope that helps.

    Sorry to see you go Venetia

    But I can understand and with it being difficult to type it is difficult to play the game.

    If you really are going to go forever and you want to give your things away my advice would be if you have a quest machine which I think you do right? Like Tink said make a very easy quest and put all of your rare things as well as credits inside and open it to your friends only. Only reason I wouldn't open it to everybody is because don't really think random people who never seen you before coming for just your stuff is right.

    But its up to you of course I do hope you would come to visit sometimes if you are able to

    The thing is, it's difficult for me to do the quest. There's so much time and typing required, both to set it up, and to talk during the quest. I'm sort of offering to donate my items for someone else's quest, if anyone is doing an Inside Out quest in the near future.

    Oops, sorry, by "everyone" I meant "everyone from Intercot".

    Venetia I will miss you but I understand and hope you will pop in to visit sometimes when you can handle a little typing. If you would like I'd be glad to run your quest for you, but I hope you will sit with us while it runs!

    I see you have an offer but if you need more help (not really sure what is involved w/a quest?), I'm sure my daughter would be willing to assist. Personally, I don't know much about VMK but she is on it quite a bit.

    I dont even know you and miss you already! Us big ppl have to stick together on VMK before it all goes to Taken & Cute or Boot! LOL Seriously thought I completely understand what youre saying about going just to talk (and then being forced into baby language or having to wait for typing too fast). A quest would be fun. Im usually terrible at most but I love to play em!

    If you have a good friend maybe give them your character..? I know VMK says you cant buy sell or trade your character but I dont see why you cant give your character to someone.
