Our bi-weekly newsletter got a major upgrade thanks to PR_Finnick! Say hello to The (not so) Daily Dalmatian!
We are continuing our celebration of Back 2 School: The Sequel - A DCOM Festival; but the team wanted to take a moment and recognize the tragedy that happened 22 years ago today. Our thoughts go out to all of the families affected by this act of violence and our gratitude extends to all of the first responders that sacrificed their well-being on that day.

The Falloween Float Fun contest is in full swing and we have an update to announce! If you haven’t participated yet, what are you waiting for?! The Contest ends September 22nd and aside from the grand prize of the top 5 floats being featured in our Halloween parade, there will also be the following prizes:
- Participation prize: 5,000 credits + an exclusive new flip hat (preview coming soon!)
- Winner prize: 15,000 credits + Halloween Contest Winner pin
Now you may be wondering what the Halloween Contest Winner pin is! This is, in fact, an existing pin that was awarded to the winners of last year’s Design A Pumpkin contest! Since then, this pin has been untradeable and very limited. We have made the decision to rename the pin for use in future Halloween contests! This pin will remain untradeable as we plan to use it for future Halloween contests! We know this is a highly coveted (and cute!) pin, and we wanted to provide more opportunities to our community to earn it!
As a reminder, here’s what you need to know about this frightfully fun float contest:
All floats must be submitted before closing on September 22nd to be eligible for judging. Judging will be done by staff, and the top 5 floats will be featured in our Halloween Parade!
Voting will be based on creativity, and overall quality. The voting forms will not disclose the name of the entrant, they will only provide an image of the float, and the room description.
You can find brand new parade furniture items under Specials at the Emporium! You must use the NEW "Block - Black" pieces as your base, and make that base 3-5 spaces wide and 5-8 spaces long! Floats must also have 4 Parade Wheels attached to the base. The float must have an overall theme, somehow relating to Disney and the Halloween season!
How to Enter:
- Build your parade float in an Empty Dark Ride Room! Please do not add backgrounds for your floats, as they will not be seen during the parade.
- Name your room "Falloween Float Fun - Entry" and in the description, describe your float!
Good luck everyone!! We can't WAIT to see your creations!

Thank you for your interest in keeping the magic alive!
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.
