#netcot center

Hi guys! We recently shared a non-traditional ‘be well’ resource list with our community discord, to help everyone navigate the uncertainty of the coming weeks ahead. I wanted to be sure we had it somewhere else too, for safe keeping and more visibility. If you have anything you want added to this list, shoot me a message! I’ll be editing it as the days go on!

The @netcotcenter team is here if you need to unload and talk, or just get the weighing thoughts out of your mind. We got this, fam.

1. Quarantined away from family and friends? FaceTime, Skype, and Facebook Messenger are great ways to stay connected.

... who releases the best art, or has the best events, or even who has the most players. It’s about bringing a community of Disney and VMK lovers together. And if you don’t realize that, and think it’s a competition, you’re missing the whole point behind why we are opening NETCOT.

Hi all! I wanted to officially introduce myself. I’m Periwinkle or Peri for short.

My love for Disney dates back to when I was young and one day I stumbled upon a website called VMK. I absolutely loved this site and looked forward to playing every day after I came home from school. When it was announced that it’d be shutting down, I was heartbroken. This was a place where I had made so many friends, was able to escape from the real world, and enjoy the parks virtually.

Once it closed I would occasionally search it’s name up to see if any remakes had come around. One day I found OpenVMK and then MyVMK. While I was never part of the staff team on either of these remakes, I did play on them all the time. It’s where I met some of my best friends.

Back in October I was approached and asked to join a new project called Netcot. (As I’m sure almost everyone has heard of by now.) I joined as Gelatoni, but have since changed to Periwinkle.

I’m so extremely excited for this project and these lovely people I’m working with. They have become some of my close friends.

Here’s to the future! I can’t wait to show everyone what we have been working on and bring Netcot to you!
