Thanks so much for posting this! I was a beta player on the original and played until the last day. I missed it a great deal and had no idea about My VMK. I'm only sorry I didn't find out sooner. Yes, it is a true recreation so those who miss it or want to experience it will be able to do...

I have gotten so spoiled going to Disney World over the years and don't even think about the "airport to hotel" issue any longer. I am attending a conference at the United States Military Academy, West Point NY in April. I'll be arriving at the Stewart International Airport in Newburgh...

Army brat here. Just remember, "they also serve who only stand and wait". That was my mother's mantra for nearly forty years as an Army wife. Thanks for YOUR service along with your husband's.

If you are serious about writing, my suggestion is that you check out several of the writers' forums. The writing world is changing and trade publishing is no longer the only game in town. A great deal depends now on the writer, what you want to get out of it, how much time you're willing to...

For those with Kindles, Nooks, and other eReaders, some wonderful old books are now coming out in digital format. The digital evolution has turned reading into a foray into Aladdin's Cave of Wonders from the number of new and old treasures that can be found. Historical Romance: The Grande...

Working now. Thanks for the help.

Hi, Apparently with the maintenance yesterday, my old links to the DVC Member Login page is no longer valid. Doing a search brings up the same missing page. Does anyone have a working link or are they still "tinkering"? Thanks.

Wasn't there a rumor that there was going to be a new fireworks show? Perhaps the dragons are part of that?

Hi Aengus. I'm partial to the Privateer class due to some useful healing talents which come in handy during the bigger boss battles. Like Wizard 101, however, each class has its strengths and weaknesses so I'd say it comes down to preferred play style. A very nice addition to the game is that...

Hi Alice, hi Aengus. I've played in Beta for several months now. Really recommend it to my old VMK chums. Look forward to seeing what you think, Tazgirl, as to whether it's fun for your family the way Wizard 101 is.

I was lucky enough to be in the first batch of beta testers. I'm enjoying Pirates a great deal and went ahead and got the bundle. The game play is quite different from Wizards but the qualities that make Wizards so enjoyable are present: excellent graphics, humor, sly little easter eggs...

I was invited in for beta and, so far, I am really enjoying this game. Play style is a bit different than Wizard 101 but the well-done graphics, enjoyable Easter eggs, are all present and accounted for. The change in play style keeps it from being just a pirate version of Wizards. Can't...

I believe it is in beta or soon will be. As far as I know, it hasn't gone live yet.

Great find, Aliceblue, and good to see you! I've been so busy lately, I haven't had a chance to be online much with fun stuff.

I'm re-discovering some favorite old authors who are now available on the Kindle and the Nook (yes, I have one of each courtesy of a big brother for Christmas after I went out and bought the other for myself). Right now, I'm happily reading through the books by mid-20th Century Nevil Shute...

Peyton has given a great deal to our community; not just as a player but as a resident. Unfortunately, this is the downside of the era of the salary cap in the NFL. Even a gifted athlete of Peyton's caliber only has so many years in him. The neck injury certainly aggravated that situation...

Another independent writer here. BLACK KNIGHTS OF THE HUDSON takes the fictional MacKendrick family from 1860 through World War II. The first five books in the series (1860 - 1917) are now available at Smashwords.com and most eBook retailers (Amazon Kindle, Barnes and Noble Nook, Apple IBook...

I'm taking a little break and re-reading an old favorite, the WILLIAMSBURG series by Elswyth Thane. It takes several families from the Revolutionary War up to 1941. For those who enjoy Historical Fiction or Family Sagas, you might like this series too. The first two books, DAWN'S EARLY LIGHT...

Sigh, would that they would. I miss it still too. There isn't another quite like it with the rooms and manipulating furnishings. Some really imaginative members were in that game.

For those who have Kindles, Nooks, and other eReader devices, some of the wonderful authors of the past are now available. Of course, you can still find their hard copy books on both Amazon and Barnes and Noble James Hilton Neville Shute Both authors wrote in the mid-Twentieth...
