I was doing some looking around on Amazon, when I stumbled upon this:

I had almost forgot about Kingdom Keepers! Glad to see it's making another return so quickly, as it's scheduled to hit book store shelves on April 6th, 2010.

Judging from the cover I think it's safe to say this will take place in EPCOT...what I'm more concerned about is if a certain purple dragon will be making an appearance in this book. :figgy:

Ours is on pre-order ;)

can not wait for it

Ok i just realized my post that i wrote up on Micro. Word about expo never got posted :duh: :duh: :duh: I went and met with RP at his special seminar, there was maybe 20 people there so it was very intimate compared to some of the other presentations. I have a whole bunch of pictures of things in EPCOT that are vital to this book and i dont have any idea where some of them are... If i can find thse stupid pictures expect to see them up here soon.

On a happier note i'm soo freaking excited for this book and the new website! KK has to be my favorite series of all time!

You can sign up to be a beta tester for the Kingdom Keepers game now!

Oh I just signed up. Thanks for posting that Doug bc i never check his blog

Thanks Doug,
it sounds like they are not taking everyone for Beta testing...

I hope I can help out in some way. :pixiedust:

Ecstatic to see this game!

I want to take down the overtakers!

I think they were mainly just saying that to weed out the younger kids who wouldn't be much help in actually finding bugs and testing the game. I would think they would welcome older players as beta testers. We'll see though.

In a comment, Mr. Pearson stated that he believes the selected testers will be sent a link on Monday in an email. Take that with a grain of salt though.

I'm so excited i saw that on his twitter page and i was like OMG!

I Can't wait to play the game, being chosen as a beta tester would be like a dream come true! What do you guys think it will be like more vmkish or pirates of the caribbean?

lets keep each other informed and let someone know if you get an email in the next day or two :woot:

Good idea! Maybe those who could get chosen would be willing to post some screenshots for those that aren't chosen? That would be quite nice :)

I'd like to see the leveling aspect of Pirates, I think it would be great. Kingdom Keepers is an action/adventure story, so naturally, there should be some sort of dueling or fighting. Making a mock up of vmk would kind of defeat the purpose of it being a Kingdom Keepers game. I almost imagine it as a World of Warcraft type game, only set in the Kingdom Keepers book.

I signed up. I guess I better get the first book out again and give it another shot.

I just signed up. Way to keep an eye out on this you guys! How cool would it be to get the gang back together in a virtual disney type place. I know if I'm chosen I'm gonna earn credits like crazy and try to buy anything and everything that's for sale. Who knows what the next green flops will be, but I'll try to get enough of everything for the team if selected. This will certainly bring new life to these boards if anything else. Your right Skate I better get my dusty books off the shelf.

Katy, it is not the best written book around but a super quick reed and he does describe WDW pretty well and that is ALways FUN...

:mastermind:

Agreed. It's not the next Da Vinci Code or anything like that, but I do love the fact that I can picture exactly where the kids are at any point in the story, partly because I've been to WDW so much, and partly because the author describes it well. There are only a few mistakes (in the first book, the kids take a monorail to MGM...:P), but it's still a very entertaining read.

Update from Ridley's Blog (original link here):

That's really surprising that they are only accepting 200 people. Lets hope at least one of us is a part of that 200! Good Luck everybody! :popcorn:

hmm,
I bet it is random... we'll see..

Well there are certainly a couple of us who entered so at least some/one of us should get in, right?

I think it is funny how he acted like he wasn't going to get in himself lol, that would be really sad. Good Luck everybody!

I signed up under my email address and also under Steven's email address...

I'm interested to see what sort of game it is...

Has anybody been updated or gotten an email on the status of beta yet? I know they said wed. but i just wanted to check. I'm so excited to see/hear more about this game!

Original Link here.

The suspense is killing me!

that is a cute way of saying they are overwhelmed and have not sent the emails out!


I am glad cuz I didn't get one!! :yay:

ME TOO! I dont think i've got seven hours that i haven't checked my email just hoping and praying to get picked. But like lady said, I'm glad they haven't already gone out since I didn't get one yet :D

Received this email at 8:02pm this evening... Looks like I am in....

:woot:

I have not had Steven check his email at work, but if he was selected - we may be willing to turn the log in over to someone... stay tuned...

^I got that email too! That makes two of us!

Anybody else get accepted?

nope :(

Looks like I'll Just be watching from the sidelines this go around. I hope you guys are allowed to post pictures once they let you in. Have Fun!

Haven't gotten an e-mail back either, but that's great that two of you got in!

I second with Jessie - I hope you guys can post pics and tell us what the game is like!

nope, no email for me... I am going to check the junk mail just to be sure though

I haven't received anything either but will keep checking!

As long as we got two people in i think thats pretty amazing! Who knows they may open up the game to more of us as time goes by but from the email the game sounds like a play by your self attack game with the only multiplayer aspect being the forums and the overall working together score.

Hopefully i'm wrong and there is alot more together play then that but i guess we'll just have to wait and see. :figgy:

I just checked again and the invite is there!
I got in, so that is exciting!

make sure those of you who got in keep us informed as to what it is like!!

Congrats to you guys!!! :drinkbuds: :woot:


make us mouseterminds proud!!! :thumbsup:

Playing it right now, not sure I quite get it.
More later when I get the hang of it.
