More news!

Posted by Luvabug1

Since the debut of the Pro Cooking Competition at the Webkinz Stadium, winners of this particular event have been receiving the

hair dryer

shaped trophy from the Pro Beauty Pagent instead of a cooking themed trophy.  We are happy to report that the programming for this glitch has finally be fixed and that WI member swanjo

is the recipient of the very first Gold Cooking Competition Trophy.  Here you can see Sasha posing with her new prize.

And, we have more Stadium news to report.  All members who take part in Stadium competitions now receive letters via KinzPost letting them know how their pet scored.  Here you can see two letters from swanjo’s accounts:  one showing her Webkinz’ win in the Cooking Competition, and another showing her Webkinz’ loss in a Beauty Competition.

Now for a drum roll please! I might just faint!

AN APOLOGY FROM GANZ!

There’s a new Bulletin on http://www.webkinz.com, which contains an apology from Ganz to all the users in Webkinz World.  You can find the bulletin here: http://www.webkinz.com/us_en/bulletinz_recentissues.html  It appears that Ganz is now taking the glitches and issues seriously and understands our frustrations with Webkinz World.  Wonder what’s coming on Wednesday!?

October 23, 2008

Dear Webkinz Fans,

In recent weeks Webkinz World has run into a number of technical issues while releasing new features onto the site. The addition of multiple languages to areas like the W-Shop and Employment Office caused some issues, and recently other issues delayed the expected launch of our new My Page features. We understand that issues like these can be frustrating. 

We at Ganz are committed to providing a fun and exciting experience for all of our great members. We are working very hard to not only fix these issues, but also put in place new policies and a dedicated team that will prevent such issues from cropping up again. 

Our efforts have now fixed the problems with My Page and it is now open to all. In the coming weeks we will be fixing many more issues, including seeing the return of your favorite player vs. player games, like Atomicolicious.

To say thank you for your patience during this period, tonight during our nightly maintenance, we will be awarding all active members a free Vacation Office ticket to the Tropical Island! If you haven’t tried out this new feature in Webkinz World, it’s easy! Just go to the Vacation Office in the Things to Do menu, click on “My Tickets”, then click on the Tropical island ticket, then click “Go on Vacation”. You’ll then have 24 hours to play on the Tropical Island. 

(Super-secret hint: Keep your ticket until next Wednesday. Something new is coming…) 

All the best, 

Ganz. 

Now for some my page stuff!These items are clearly from the Coral Cove on the Vacation Island.  Could this mean they are going to be future prizes on the Island Wheel?  Or maybe this is a sign that the raffels in the Coral Cove will start having actual prizes?  We’ll have to wait and see.

Lots of rumors have been swirling around about these next items.  When will they appear in Webkinz World?  At this point we can only guess.

And, could this be the the new Member of the Day Trophy that was announced in the Webkinz Newspaper?
 

Whatever the story is with the items shown above, it is clear that My Page is giving us a sneak peek at something.  However, we must caution everyone that rumors about all of this stuff are going to be flying all over the internet, and you can’t always believe everything you read.

Hello to Webkinzadiction!

Hi Everyone!

I am Luvabug1 from Kinzparadise and Naomiglasc has invited me to post on this awesome blog!  As you all my know I founded a very safe site called: kinz paradise an awesome community forum for webkinz lovers: www.kinzparadise.forumsmotion.com 

Everyone who joins and remains active will recieve a free gift!

So now on to the news! From:webkinzinsider.com

Coral cove news!!!

We discovered something new in the Coral Cove on Vacation Island… The raffles are now giving prizes! She won the following item, a Flowing Palm tree, in the Yellow Zone from 3am-4am this morning.  Just as we suspected with the items showing up in the newly-updated My Page section, you can win the items from the Coral Cove and bring them home!

UPDATE:  It appears that the “raffle glitch” has not been fully fixed yet.  Many WI members are reporting “winning” raffles but not receiving any prizes.  WI member Sydney88 says “at least we can celebrate that some people are receiving prizes.  I myself have won 4 raffles so far but only received one prize.  Still, at least it’s better than nothing!”

under water rooms,psi’s,trading cards and more

Those of you who have been sending your Webkinz to Cooking Classes at the KinzVille Academy should be pleased to hear that Cooking Competitions have arrived at the Webkinz Stadium. Remember, it’s the skills you develop at the Academy that affect how you score in Competition.  So, head on over to the Academy and get to work on earning the “pins” (previously known as badges) on your report card.

We’ve received an exclusive inside tip directly from Ganz regarding the Series III Trading Cards.While there is only one code per pack, EVERY code will get you an item that can’t be found anywhere else. That’s right, no more Kinzcash, W-Shop items, rares, food, whatever. Just brand new items.

This is all Confirmed: The “Mystery Pet Card” will return in Series 3. (1 per box) A special “Magical Retriever Card” will be introduced. (odds unknown) Each pack will contain a sticker. Feature Card Codes will return but it looks like there will only be one code per card. (1 card per pack) There will be no Virtual Trading Card Pack codes. The Trading Card packaging will come in 3 colors.

 

October’s Pet of the Month will be the Webkinz Pug (large size only)!

Well, to go with the front page of the Webkinz World newspaper’s headline “Two new friends are making a splash!”, we have confirmed the first WI member, aslans, to adopt a Webkinz Fantail Goldfish and Webkinz Manatee, Gabby and Molly!!Here they are with their PSIs in an underwater room, previously non-existent in Webkinz World! The Manatee’s PSI is the Mangrove Treasure Trove and the Goldfish’s PSI is the Fantail Table.Notice how the regular Webkinz Toucan has an “air helmet” when he enters the underwater room, all your regular Webkinz can enter these underwater rooms! Paired with the “air helmet” is the “water bubble” so that your underwater Webkinz can visit the rest of your home! Finally, the PSF for the Goldfish is Daphnia Dafina and the PSF for the Webkinz Manatee is Mangrove Leaf Manicotti.  We are very impressed with the thought that went in to programming this new area of Webkinz World, with the “air helmets” and “water bubbles” for the respective pets, and the lack of glitches with the first WI member adoption!

Three more Webkinz have been officially retired by Ganz: the Beagle, the Collie, and the American Albino. It is worth noting that the American Albino isn’t scheduled for release until next month.  Also, the Rhino, which was retired in May, is now officially listed as “Sold Out”. the dalmation is now retired too

 

 

 3 new w-cares pets

Ganz is now expanding the Webkinz Cares program to include it’s first full-sized Webkinz, the Webkinz Seal. Seals with the red wCares tags should start showing up at retailers in September. Until now, the wCares animals have been an exclusive of Walgreens which, as many of you know, does not have any stores located in Canada. The introduction of this red-tagged Seal means our Canadian members will finally have access to the wCares program.

Come on Ganz!!!I hate u!!!

We thought that it was really strange that the Black & White Cheeky Dog and Webkinz Rhino were retired a few weeks back.  ”Such new Webkinz, I’m surprised!” is what most of us thought or said.

Well, here’s an even bigger surprise…. Ganz has retired 5 more Webkinz this month, all are new Webkinz and two haven’t even been released yet! Yep, you read that right, two unreleased Webkinz are already on Ganz’s retired list sent to retailers!

Come on isn’t this a little much!!!! I am so complaining about this

The retirements are the Webkinz Striped Snake, Webkinz American Cocker Spaniel, Webkinz Toco Toucan, Webkinz Crocodile, and the Webkinz Leopard Lizard.

This information has been confirmed and, while it will likely not be reflected in Webkinz World now (especially with the unreleased pets), we assure you that it will be!

More new August stuff (wow that’s a lot of things(probly 44 the holidays))

Wow, August is going to be a VERY busy month in Webkinz World! Ganz seems to have turned production into overdrive!

Along with the 11 new Webkinz and Lil’ Kinz that are due to be introduced in August, new Kinz Style items, new figurines and the Series 3 Trading Cards will be added to the Webkinz line, as well!

We don’t have any details on what the Series 3 Trading Cards will be like just yet, but we have confirmation that they can be ordered by retailers and are due to be shipped to retailers in August!

The Series 2 Webkinz Figurine set is also due to hit shelves in August, with a new set of 24 Figurines for all of us to collect.  As with the Series 3 Trading Cards, we don’t have any details or pictures of the virtual items just yet.

Finally, we have 12 new pieces of clothing that will be added to the Kinz Style line in Webkinz World in August!
