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.

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.

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

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.

Even though I did not see you often, we are going to miss you.
Even if you log on every few weeks and do something. They should not be deleting your character, so if you feel your hand might do better later, keep your items :-)
Others on here probably know more about what needs to be done to keep your character active.

Aww, sad to see you go Venetia, but I understand. I sure hope the pain will get better for you. We will all miss you.
These three things will continue forever: faith, hope and love. And the greatest of these is love.
-
Aww darn, we'll miss you Venetia.
Running a quest is the simplest idea. Cita runs a pretty good quest and is probably on more than most of us to get it done.
I'm not bad. I'm just drawn that way.
-
Sorry that you're going, Colors! We'll miss you a ton. When your hand feels better stop by sometime on Intercot to say hi Hmm, don't know about the quest thing. If the quest typing and all is too much for you, maybe lend your account to someone to make the quest? Then maybe someone can open the room for you until the quest is done.

I know how you feel Venetia. I'm playing Pirates online more and more. We've known each other a long time on VMK and will be happy to see you still posting here so we can stay in touch. With us both being Cheshire Cat fans we've always had a common bond.
I know Dino runs a lot of quests and he will make sure that the people you know will get the stuff.

Thanks for your responses, everyone. I'm planning on keeping my character, favorite outfit, and two favorite magic pins (teleport and bat 5-stars). The rest of the items I'd like to find homes for.
If anyone wants anything back that they gave me, please let me know. Otherwise, I'll probably give a few items to a non-Intercot friend in the game, and then go ahead with giving the items for a quest.
Cita, thanks for offering to do the quest. The last few I did in October involved much more typing than I expected - that's why I haven't tried another one. I can also split the items into multiple quests, if someone else is running an Intercot one soon and needs prizes.
Thanks again.

I would be happy to help you with a quest if you need it. One thing I would say to do though is to make sure it would only be Intercot friends is for whoever is opening the quest make the quest exclusive to Intercot people by giving out tickets and that is the only way to get into the quest.

I guess this is a mute point now that the game is going away in a month.

Lol, Colors you might have jinxed it.
It was VMK's handling of that quest, and their response about it being a "free" game started for the 50th, that made me decide to do it. I wonder if the players' responses made them decide to finally tell everyone; how long would they have waited if the quest had gone well?

Venetia, looks like we're all retiring from VMK along with you
Good thing we have Intercot to keep in touch, while other players might lose their VMK friends forever.
