I thought I would start a thread where every day where something happened in VMK a year or two ago I would post it so that we can remember it. I'd like to start with yesterday, since something interesting happened.
June 18, 2005: VMK staff members asked all players to parade around Main Street. Some staff hid among the trees and some of the players who found then got inferno, this was the first inferno giveaway in the history of VMK!
Now back to today's stuff.
June 19, 2006: The Bombarment pin was retired

I will update this every day something happened, and eventually I will get the whole year's of this!
Rollecoasterfan
On today June 20 in 2006... the Dead Man's Chest Game promotion began!

Rollecoasterfan
Today, June 28 in 2005 was the first day in VMK not in beta!

If you go forward a year from VMK's first day out of beta, you'll get to a point where a new loading screen advertising the waterparks came up.

A few things happened in 2006 since my last post. First of all... June 1st was the beginning of waterpark month. As for events and such on...

July 1st - The Cast Slide-a-thon event began

July 2nd - The Cast Slide-a-thon ended

July 4th - The Independance Day quest was released and the 4th of July hat was on sale for 1000 credits in the Emporium

July 5th - A lot of slide items were released, they were: the palm trunk and top, Typhoon Lagoon Yellow Crate, the Raft couch, the BB small and large rocks, and all the waterslide pieces (except ups and downs). These were all released in Ned's shop.

That's all for now biggrin.gif
