Fan Mail with Fiona

 

 

My darlings! I’m back with more of your Webkinz questions. To read my previous columns, click here!

 

Hi Fiona,

 

Why didn’t I get a new room for my new pet I adopted yesterday? It was a pink and white kitty and I had to buy a room for it with Webkinz money.

Sounds like an adorable new pet you have there! It also sounds like your kitty is your 11th adoption, because after 10 adoptions, you no longer receive a new room with each pet. The free rooms are there to help you get started on your Webkinz house as you first grow your family, and then they stop because we don’t want you to get bogged down with rooms you don’t want. Instead, you have more control over what size rooms you want to get and when!

 

Hi there, Fiona! While I was completing a quest in the Adventure Park, I had to go to the Fish King’s Room. In there, there was a decoration that had the initials “R.M.S.” on it. Does it have and significance or is it just a fun bonus added to the room? Thanks!

Great question! I had to do some digging for this one, but we believe the artist was inspired by the term “R.M.S.” from the seafaring world, which means “Royal Mail Ship”. In the 1800s, this term was used for English ships carrying mail (a whole ship?! I just have my own two wings!) around the world. So it’s just a fun sea-inspired bonus to the Fish King’s room!

 

Who is Tinker in ‘Mazin Hamsters?

 

– wonderpets2040

 

Good ol’ Tinker! Tinker is a ‘Mazin Hamster who was meant for an old Amazing World promo that never ended up happening (this sometimes occurs, despite Nuts’ and Bolts’ best efforts). One day we may remove the text. Speaking of ‘Mazin Hamsters, we made an announcement recently about technical changes to the game that you can read here, too.

    Cool information! The “R.M.S.” thing was interesting (I love learning!) and the room thing was something I’ve been wanting to know. Thanks, Fiona! ;D

    Hi Fiona, I was wondering why we couldn’t get all of the different hosts on our friends list like Sheldon. Some people aren’t deluxe members and they can’t go to vacation island. Why can’t we also get Cowabelle or Daisy doe or hosts like that?

    • speycast says:

      Just add them as friends on your phone. Make sure to spell the names correctly. Debby Dragon is retired and no longer is on anyone’s friend list.

      • vgcallah says:

        wah wah i miss debby… she was nice. i took a year long break from webkinz once. but my account got deleted so i created a new one and now im like stinkin rich… but i never noticed that the travel agency was gone until like a month. i miss that place cause non members could go to the vacation island if they had 1000 kinz cash.

      Hi lolovesspiderman, even if you are not deluxe, you can just add them to your friends list by typing their name in the add friend section. You can do spaces for the hosts names. Like Ms. Cowoline. Or Tabby Von Meow. All of them would have the spaces. :) And Cowabelle and Daisy Doe have not been added to the hosts that can be friended. Ganz may add them soon though! :) (BTW, I like Spiderman too xD)

    Kind of sad that they gave up on the whole ‘Tinker the hamster’ thing. Sounds kind of like the ‘moving doors’ idea that has floated around for years but never has happened.

    • prprprprp says:

      Yeah, but Steve said they are working on it a while ago. The idea has been said before, but a few months ago, Steve said they were actually trying to do it! :)

    I have a question! Are there any special hints you can give us about 2015?

  6. prprprprp says:

    Yeah, I miss those BonnieSueHeft. Those were fun. :)

    Cool piece of history thrown in there! I don’t think I ever noticed those initials! And to answer your question my9tailkinz, I don’t think that the gift boxes that come with our pets should stop at the twenty-fifth Webkinz. You only get a Super Bed Gift Box every ten pets, and I’m not sure about the Exclusive Gift Boxes, but I’m pretty sure I get them every time I adopt a pet. Most of the time though, they just contain a coin for 1000 Kinzcash. I have over 60 pets. ***MidnightQueen***

  8. my9tailkinz says:

    hmmmmmm I have hundreds of questions like: what happened when there was no deluxe and no G coins did the pets cost kinz cash or could you only adopt them????? When I adopted my 25th webkinz there was no gift box, does the gift boxes stop at your 25th webkinz?????????…………………………TO BE CONTINUED

    • prprprprp says:

      Hi my9tailedkinz, when the ganz eStore first brought in virtual pets, there were already G coins. And also, I think you not receiving your gift box was a glitch, because I have over 25 webkinz, and I got all my gift boxes, so no it does not stop on the 25th. I hope I helped answer your questions! You can reply with your others if you would like, I’ll see if I know the answers. :) Hope you have a great day! :)

    • cheyabella says:

      no u have to but them with money deluxe and the ganze estore are kindof new no kinz cash

    • desarm says:

      Back before Deluxe and the eStore were a part of Webkinz, the only way to accquire pets was by buying the plushies in real life and using their Secret Codes. :)

  9. 9tailedfox says:

    wha the wonder pets ???????? OK NOW THIS IS MAKING ME LAUGH SOOOOO HARD !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  10. prprprprp says:
