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.
REALLY? Could you swap out some of the untradeable stuff for tradeable, then? I have accumulated quite a bit of moneys that I don’t want to waste. You know, it actually has me worried, slowly but surely you are removing these things from your site and it’s rather disconcerting. I don’t want to be a harbinger of doom, but it looks like you’re pulling the plug on all Ganz products.
you are not alone. I see the end coming too. I knew the game site was going to be streamlined but didn’t expect the Newz to be affected (beyond the Flash based games disappearing). The Ganzworld rewards were half the reason I spent a good amount of time on Webkinz Newz. So ending them means I’ll be spending half the time I used to seeing their advertising. You have to wonder.
Thank you for the update!
I love GanzWorld Rewards I can’t believe they won’t be available anymore. Can we be notified a couple of days before?
Reallly missing the arcade already!!!
Will you bring back any of the old gifts or just what is there now?
I am sad about the GanzWorld rewards retiring. I hope that before it is retired altogether, you will consider putting some new prizes there for us to spend our moneyz on.
Sad to see this go, but if you are going to make us spend all of our rewards money, then please allow us to buy all of the prizes and just the select ones that you have for sale now.
Thank you for letting us know.
Webkinz retiring GanzWorld Rewards is extremely disappointing. We looked forward to the new items we could get each month. :(
So sad that the Reward Moneyz is retiring. I enjoy collecting the Moneyz.
