Changes to Webkinz Newz

You may have noticed some changes in Webkinz Newz recently. These changes have been part of our effort to streamline all of our services, such as moving Webkinz World and Webkinz Newz to the Cloud. Steps like these prevent outages and improve performance, ensuring that the sites stay up no matter what. We are currently working towards bringing GanzWorld back to its roots, focusing on Webkinz Newz, Events and Contests.

 

One of the recent changes was the removal of the GanzWorld Arcade, a secondary Flash-based game site that generated GanzWorld Reward Moneyz. Most of these games were third-party with no support, and our efforts must be focused on preparing Webkinz World for the future.

 

We will soon be retiring GanzWorld Rewards, as well. When the exact date is known, we will make a follow-up announcement. We recommend spending your Moneyz at this time.

 

We thank you for your patience during this process.

    Can you please add the Persian cat bookcase and ace of spades divider to the prize pool? I was saving up for those and they haven’t been added. :(

    Thank you so much for adding past and present prizes for us to spend our Moneyz. Kinda sad to see this feature go, but understand that it is necessary to keep Webkinz moving forward.

    Would you ever consider giving advance notice for big changes like this, sort of like you do when clothing items retire? While I’m thinking of this, have you ever considered dating your notices?

    wow i would call this the morning’s “hot topic,” for sure–but thank you for the heads up (i have over 100,000 Moneyz to spend, so please do give us the date certain for cashing those in…nothing new to choose from, but i will stock up for hopeful trading, i suppose. isn’t it ironic that i have been asking for years for the pull-down menu to be updated (how hard could that be?)–and now that it has been it is the end–sorry people! well, i should have lots for trading for anyone who can’t get it all, so see you in the trading rooms?? best, -k. p.s. yes, i agree with the comment that something new would be nice–oh so nice i might add–may i suggest the brown and red striped short sleeve shirt and also the tool belt, both from the old wshop? PLEASE?? ;) thanks much <3
