Yavn speaks - are you listening? This week Yavn's got info new Quests and - answers your questions!
Yavn Speaks 12/04
Holly Daze, Quest Craze
Welcome to another action packed episode of Yavn Speaks! Are ya ready for the holidays? Have you started your shopping yet? I'm not talking about at the local department store for Mom and Dad, I'm talking about in VMK! For example, today you can purchase a very cool holiday themed skeleton as well as some of your favorites from last year!
Shiver me timbers! No seriously, it's really cold out here!
Are you a fan of Disney's Santa Clause movies? We have a brand new in-game Quest where you can win the tasty Cookie Tree! To make it easier, most of the questions are from the first two movies, so get out those DVDs and start watching!
Ummm… Money doesn't grow on trees, but thankfully candy does…
Did you guys see the Disneyland Holiday Quest launched last week? You've got all of December to play, but when January 1 rolls around, just like Santa, it will be gone - so get to the Park and complete that Quest! And no we haven't forgotten our friends at Walt Disney World - that Quest should be live by early next week (in fact, I'm here in Walt Disney World right now putting the finishing touches on it!).
So what rewards will you get for you Holiday Questing? How about a nice Decorative Holiday Wreath to decorate your room? Or maybe a Holiday Toy Solider to guard your room of presents? If you visit Disneyland to complete the Quest you'll also get a Golden Snowman (if you correctly answer all the Quest questions), while at Walt Disney World, you'll get a white Decorative Snowman. Yes, these are the same prizes from last year - we brought them back by popular demand.
The Holiday Toy Soldier is 1 of 3 holiday cards that you can receive by correctly completing the Holiday Quest
What Quests lie in your future? Well, we're hard at work on new Quests and I think we've got some pretty cool things planned, including an all new in-park Quest for both coasts that should launch early next year! But wait, there's more - we're also updating the rewards for completing multiple Park Quests. ;-) I'll have more information to share with you soon, but I think you will be very pleased to see what we have in store for the Series 3 Reward Cards.
It's been a few weeks since I've answered any of your Questions... so what do you say we take a look in…
Yavn's Mailbag
I want to be a Community Leader but I don't know where to apply or I applied to be a Community Leader but have not been selected yet, how long do I have to wait?
We have literally thousands of applications for our CL program and continue to add new Community Leaders all the time. Because of the larger number of interested players it can sometimes takes months before you are accepted. Right now we have a cap on the number of applications we accept and unfortunately won't be able to accept any more until we have space. I'll let you know when we open registration open again, until then, we're sorry you're still waiting to be a CL, but we do appreciate your patience.
Will the Quest Kiosk be on sale again?
Yes. Just keep your eyes open early next year when it will go back on sale.
We heard all this talk about Turnstiles — so where are they?
Well, as I've said before we test these items before they are put into the Kingdom — our testing has been going well but we still have a few issues to solve before they go on sale. Unfortunately, you won't see them this year, but you won't have to wait too much longer to get your hands on them.
I went to the parks to get those new VMK Pin Collector Sets but they were sold out! Did I miss my chance to get them?
Not to worry, more pins are on the way. I might suggest you call the Parks before your visit to see if they are in stock.
The new version of the Pirates Of The Caribbean game is great, will we see new versions of the other games?
I'll have news on our next game update very soon!
Thanks for your questions. Well, I think that about wraps things up for this week, I need to get back to finishing the WDW Holiday Quest. Don't forget to watch the Santa Clause DVD so you can win that Cookie Tree! What? You're still here? OK one more bit of news - the Give–A–Gift will be back! I'll have details next week… I'm off to grab a Holiday Churro. (Does anyone know what flavor "Holiday" is anyway?)
See you soon,
Yavn
