A Gardeners Forum Forums General Discussion The Banter Hall Our Webkinz World Forum Webkinz Nutz 75

Good Morning!! I just wanted to open a new Webkinz--& also ask a question.

Today as I was doing my dalies, I found that every time I tried to go to the curio shop I was told I would be "logged out now". I was curious if anyone else had this problem???

I had the same problem on all accounts, Carol. As did almost everyone else. Another Ganz problem. I can wait it out though

yea me too---and I did---it is working well now, Tina......

Tina, Look what you taught me to do!!!!! so what do ya think of Froggies's Room??? oops I forgot to cut the edge off of the page--sorry. I will get better as I go along--honest!!!

You did a great job, Carol. Both the job and the screen shot. (I had such a hard time learning how to do that).
Hmmm, You need a magic carpet in that room. I think.

First I have to ask----what is a "Magic carpet"???

Thanks for the compliment, Tina- --I went back & tried to cut out just the piece of the screen I wanted BUT my paint only shows part of the webkinz screen at a time so it is impossible to cut (for me right now anyway) if I ever learn how I will show you the other parts of my house---and if not perhaps I will show you Maisy's room and the back yard anyway.

you're doing a lot better than I am. I can't get those things posted right to save my life.

Thanks Sheri---but if you notice I may have gotten it posted, but I didn't get it posted "right".



and Tina=-----I now know what a "Magic Carpet" is----Thank you

and yes, it will look perfect in "Froggie's" Room.

Check your mail, Carol. A magic carpet is another ride on. Not quite the right blue for the wizard theme, but I keep one in my magic room anyway.
I see you did check your mail. You are welcome, Carol.

So, have you all seen the new Webkinz Deluxe membership yet? I think they are getting a little too out of hand with the "extras" to buy. We've spent around $1000 on Webkinz plush and misc items over the past few years on over 80 pets, numerous charms, trading cards, binders and figurines. It's a "pay" site as it is since you have to buy a pet to access it. Having to pay for access to different areas of a site that I already had to pay to get on is getting a bit frustrating. I realize that Webkinz is a business and the idea is to make money. But at the same time I'm getting the feeling from Ganz that our patronage isn't valued unless we continue to throw obscene amounts of money at them. It wouldn't be so bad if there wasn't a "deluxe activities" tab that Brennan has to look at but can't do everytime he plays. I would have been much less upset about it if it were a different site like the e store that wasn't thrown in our face everytime we log on. And I wonder if the regular Webkinz users service will suffer now. With so many glitches I'm sure their first priority will be maintaining their deluxe accounts. Ganz is going to start alienating their new customers when they buy a pet, access the site and then find out how much stuff they would need to buy or pay extra for to access. Not to mention their loyal customers who are starting to get fed up.

You all know I'm not normally a Webkinz basher, but I feel they're getting a little too greedy.

I hadn't a clue when I read this this morning. Had to go hunting for more info. They are not 'giving' enough for their deluxe membership. To make it appealing to me at all.

OK. I realize now that I went off on a bit of a tangent. So sorry. I still love our Webbies, don't get me wrong. I'm just a bit frustrated in the direction the site seems to be going now. It's going away from the simple fun that made us all love it so much. I guess I'm being a bit short minded. I'm sure there are those that absolutely love the new features and don't mind to pay for it. I know I'm never going to hear the end of, "Mommy, I want the deluxe activities." I would be more inclined to do it if it was good for the life of your Webkinz account instead of a year.

the way i understand it, the deluxe activities button is not visible unless you subscribe. i hope this is the case, [[[[the majical forest activities lockout icons were problematic for the grandkids, but not nearly as pricey a fix as the new deluxe problem.]]]]

Fifty bucks will pay for the deluxe for a year, Cindy. For 5 accounts. Put your money where your dare is.

The different fireplaces are pet specific items that come with the adoption of pets. I sent you one that comes with one of the horses, a clydesdale I think. I also sent the other items you requested and a coin to turn in to boost your account, Memosa. Have fun!

You are very welcome, Memosa

who is nicci56789?

I haven't a clue. When i get friends invitations from a name I don't know I don't accept.

me too. I wasn't sure if I had missed a post here.

Very cute, Memosa. I'm thinking that your squirrel needs a boy squirrel to be friends with.

I wish they'd put the outside pathway rocks back in the store. I want to buy a new outside room but I want a pathway.

The flagstones are still in the w-shop, Sheri. They are in the decorations section. Page 5 top row.
But do check your kinzpost before purchasing.

Memosa, how sweet !!!! The perfect photo for all of us to see.

Thank you so much!!!

You do some sweet work with your little costumes and clothing pieces, Memosa. The photography is good too.

I was looking in the garden area because I want them outside. Going there now. I think a thank you is in order.

I also looked in the outdoor section for them first but didn't find them. So went on a more extensive hunt. All of the rugs and tiles also went into the decorations section.

WOW !!! Did I ever get the gifts---

LET ME THANK Cindy, Tina (often) Memosa, and whomever Honeybun1267 is???

Bless you all for thinking of me.

honeybun is Cindy again, I guess. Are you back? Or do I still check in and help?

if you could please check up for perhpas the next week--I am back in bits--but it still hurts big time for me to sit here. and Bless you so much

Will do.

Thanks ever so much.

Ditto from me as well.

Thank you both--

thanks Tina and Patunia for all the stepping stones. I can fix a big room with all those.

You are very welcome, Sheri.

Webkinz world is down this morning for a server upgrade test. I was trying to get on there to make Brennan some money. He was home from school yesterday and spent a ton of money. We were down to 134kc! I got us back up to 4000kc before bed last night. I bet after this server upgrade they'll add the tree top room furniture that they've been promising. I'll be in the arcade and quizzies all day making money to buy it all.

BTW, I haven't broken down and got the deluxe membership.......yet. I'm determined not to spend the money on that atleast until I get our season passes to King's Island.

Thanks Rachel----I was wondering--I went to "try" to look this morning---and I could not get in. I must be getting better because I am beginning to miss NOT going in each day---

I hav also not gotten a deluxe membership yet. still contemplating. I have not purchased a lot that is new. I have not even bought a treetop room yet. I am waiting for the whole theme.
Welcome back, Carol.

I will scrounge around and see how I can help Brennan's finances when the site is back up later.

Thanks Tina. We don't really need anymore kc unless they put out the new theme. If they do maybe you could send him a gift from that. I've been playing Bounce and Burst a lot lately and have made pretty good money doing that. I've won 12 trophies in there in the past couple of weeks. I get hooked on one of the games and play it anytime I need a break from the house. They seem to be great stress relievers for me.

He was super excited yesterday. He is still obsessed with the trading room. Mommy and I both have been buying up everything rare even if we have it so he can trade with it. Yesterday he got the hot air balloon that comes with the grey langur. He had wanted that so bad. He had to trade one of his Hummer SUVs for it, but he still has a couple more. He was thrilled.

The site is back up now. No new theme. Just the Zumwhere guide book. Oh well, atleast it gives me time to bulk up our kc.

There is a new game, Eager Beaver Adventure Park. I'm gonna go check it out now!

Memosa. Mostly only the one that you have activated should need feeding. And you can really only activate one at a time. I've had pets sleeping peacefully in their beds for months (hibernating). No need to feed then.

I thought that was the case Tina but Thursday night the pet (Elvis) that came up when I logged on was at 100% on everything but when I changed to Jiffy she was down in the 80's on all her stuff.

First my inactive pets seem to stay at the level they were at when I exchanged them for the current pet out???

Now ladies I have a question. I have the below items in my dock---

W care Ice cream sandwich
Ainowray canape
Allyssa Cookie
Sky Cookie
Star Cookie

are they all just food items or do I do something special with them????

Those are food items. The ice cream sandwich is a w-cares prize from adopting a cares pet and playing the game. The cookies mentioned are a prize from the star search instead of a star for your collection. And that rainbow thing is recipe food that was also a prize from a spin or something. All to eat. Not too special for saving.

thank you so much!!!!! I thought it was just food but I thought better safe than sorry----

sweet puppy.

Thanks for the surprises Jiffy.

yes a real cutie if a puppy, for sure--

and yes Jiffy both Valarie & I thank you for the nice surprises---

Memosa, I should of explained, sorry------My DH & I call all dogs "puppies' irregardless of their age. Our "puppy" was born in 1998.-----

Yep dogs are puppies to us like our children remain our babies for life.
Jiffy didn't send me any gifties. I better send her something to guilt her into it now.

Thank you for the goodies, Carol. I was teasing not really trying to spread any guilt feelings.

no guilt here, I was just having some fun----

I am new to the site... and I know how to play in WW fairly well. I wanted to say I shall become a regular in the webbies nuts.

welcome to you

Welcome, Magic.
Today there is a new theme in the w-shop. A couple of pretty cool items but not the treetop things that were promised.

Thanks for the info, Tina----

I just adopted a Seal. It's name is Duey. I have to put away the dishes. I'll get on the webkinz nutz in about... oh, say... at about 8?

Our stores around here aren't doing much. I may stop by to see what is happening if I have time.

I dont think the stores around here are doing much either--if the Halmark's here were---they would of sent me an e-mail about it, and I have gotten nothing so far---

Pam, thanks much I will do that---

I stand corrected---I got my e-mail just now----May 1-2-&-3

ah well I wish I could go

Gee Pam, that sounds like fun, too bad we are so far apart.

Cool, Memosa. Did you win anything? Did you buy anything?

LOOK !! That lady is holding "Froggie"--and he is wearing goggles too!!!!

and yes, Pam, inquiring minds wanna know----what did you get????

first place that is great, Pam
