Hi all,

I hav'nt been here for a while now.

Actually, I think it's been since the City Of Domes ARG fell through a couple years or so back.

But just seen this post and wanted to say that I really do hope this ARG gets the support and is restarted again.

I will surely be in if it does!

Oh man... This makes me want to cry....

I knew the Sandman Interface was leading up to something cool. And I was right.....

:( :( :( :(

All we can hope is VirtuQuest gets to do another ARG soon!

I was hoping that Virtuquest were gonna get the money they were promised and this was gonna continue.

I loved this game.

Such ashame, it had so much potential. :(

Not seen anything I have wanted to participate in since.

I noticed that the CityofDomes website is no more, but Virtuquest has archived it on there own website HERE

They also opened up the SMHQ more so we can see what might have been.

Second arg for me (Bees... halfway through I joined), and I'm not the happiest camper around. But, if VQC has my info, I'll be glad to pick up the phone to something new.

Sucks for VQC. What can you do? I'd love to hear the client's side of the story...

I didn't get the e-mail either :(

Thanks for clearing it up, VQ. I hope that if you're still not paid in a couple of weeks, you will consider revealing your client's name so that future puppetmasters don't get burned in the future like you did.

Yeah that's totally understandable that they would halt the game- I feel worst for the VQ people, who put all of the work into the game, to have puzzles and storylines okayed and then to not get paid for it.

I poo on your sponsor! Well, not really... but I'm disappointed.

But also pleased at this example of PM integrity. :)

I'd also like to thank Kona and Tux for moderating this forum. They did a good jorb. 8)

I had fun playing in the City of Domes with you all. Hopefully I will see you in other games. I am heading over to Orbital Colony.

Too bad I picked a COD tag for my moniker. :roll:

Poo.

Like a few people here, this was my first ARG and I couldn't beleive how lucky I was to actually catch it from its initial stage...

But, VQC have my full sympathy on the turn of events. Their honesty is truly appreciated and now that they have my personal info, i dare hope that they'll count me in for future frolics.

Unfortunately, this only confirms how the corporate world uses and abuses creative people for their own sake. Being part of the gaming industry, I have seen this only too often.

Sad. Very sad.

Yet, I did get a call and a few emails, and that's enough for me to want to jump on the next ARG VCQ launches. I tasted sin and I want more.

Logging off.

I'm so freakin' pissed off right now. This is the first ARG I've gotten into on the ground floor, from the beginning. And of course, this is one of the first to be stopped mid-game. I can't believe this. I'm impressed with VQC stepping up and letting us know instead of me checking the forums and the website every friggin' day to realize that this game was dead. To hell with the corporate sponsor for CoD. I'm really disappointed.

Thanks VQC if you're reading this. You finally brought us some closure.

Bliss.

well this sucks. but i can't blame them for stoping the game and am grateful they came forward. although i was a bit surprised to find out it is a VTQ game, i would have thought they would be able to program for browsers other than IE :\ .

Yes Konamouse,

I remember THX last year, that was actually my first ARG, and this was my 2nd.

I pick ARG's to play, based on my interests, both these films are 2 of my favourites, so I had background knowledge before I even started.

I am hoping that this game has just suspended and may continue at some point in the future, even though that is very unlikely.

VTQ have not actually stated that the game is totally closed yet, so I will hold a glimmer of hope here.

I really would like to know who their client was as well, if they could'nt afford to compensate VTQ for all the hard work they put into this ARG, then they should not've started it in the first place! They must've known that they were gonna upset loads of ARGers all over the world, and also discredit VTQ in some peoples eyes.

I still have trust in them and would play another ARG created by them in the future.

Lastly, I would like to publicly thank Virtuquest for letting us know the score regarding COD.
