Star Wars
The Festival Awakens
By now, the Virtual Magic Kingdom has found its footing in this new and strange galaxy.
The SITH started with a heavy advantage, but the JEDI are slowly catching up.
Who will come out on top?
Will the PLAYERS bring balance to the force? Only time will tell.
Pawfully yours,
Perdita [[https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/981641380705210418/1021949464245702706/PerditaSignature.png]]

Here at VMK Legacy, we continually strive to mix our own passions for VMK and work to honor the OG game by creating content that we think would fit within the scope of the game’s origins. We also try our best to recognize that we will continually work towards the heights of the OG game, but the reality of our situation is something we keep in mind while producing VMKL.
As VMK stood, it was a gathering place for thousands of players around the world, with paid full time staff to moderate, maintain, and update the game. We at VMK Legacy are a group of passionate volunteers serving a small community of passionate players. Our small team dedicates countless hours of free time to produce new content each month, creating new and exciting items, events, and connections with the community. While our team members are able to volunteer an uncountable amount of time, we understand that this is not applicable to individuals who may want to contribute to the progression of the game but do not have countless hours available. With a recognition of our differences from the original game, we realize we need to change some aspects from the original to better fit the needs of our community while still working to honor the roots of the game. We have spent months curating the perfect use of a staple VMK program that was well loved by players, and we hope our new use of the program will live up to the legacy of its predecessor.
To honor a unique aspect of the original game that will also help serve needs found within our team, we are launching a program akin to the Community Leader (CL) program. Our small community is full of many leaders bringing help and kindness to new and old players alike. Our wonderful playerbase makes the need for the CL program as it existed not necessary for our game. Instead, we want to flip the script of the program to better suit the needs of our community and honor the legacy of the Community Leaders initiative at the same time. We proudly introduce to our guests the Legacy Contributor (LC) Program!
This new program will allow players to contribute in more meaningful and tangible ways to the progression and production of new game content. The program allows players to have the flexibility of contributing on their own time without the additional responsibilities that come with being a staff member. All LC program participants will continue to be regular players and receive no special benefits or staff privileges through their participation in the program.
To start, our Legacy Contributor Program will be looking for guests with skills in Digital Art and Graphic Design. The program will allow for LC members to submit their art and designs to be considered for use in-game and in the community. We realize there are many players who have significant nostalgia related to the CL program, so we plan to expand the scope of our LC program to allow for players to contribute in ways that do not require digital art or graphic design skills in the future.
Individuals who are interested in applying for the Legacy Contributor role must meet the following criteria:
- Must be active within the community within the past two months. To be an active player, you must be showing activity a couple days each week over a two month period.
- Have the ability to take feedback and understand that submitted art may not be utilized in the way it was intended to be used upon submitting to the VMKL team.
- Understand that submitting art as a Legacy Contributor will give the VMK Legacy team the right to utilize, distribute, alter, or publish the art in any way they see fit.
The following criteria is preferred for those interested in the Legacy Contributor Program, but not required:
- Ability to successfully design in a way that honors the OG VMK art style
- Preferred to see individuals who understand and use isometric perspective in designs
Players who are accepted to become a Legacy Contributor will receive the following:
- The LC_ prefix added to their player account
- The Legacy Contributor Badge (Sorcerer Mickey Hat)
Additional perks for the program will be announced after an initial assessment of player interest in participating in the program is accomplished. The announcement of additional perks will be shared before any players are formally accepted into the Legacy Contributor role.
Those interested in applying may complete the Application Questionnaire linked here: https://forms.gle/t7cCj7y5TRaa6AVq7
Thank you to all the players who contribute so much to our game already, and we are excited to see the new and exciting contributions you have to bring to VMK’s Legacy!
