Happy Thursday! It’s your fine-feathered friend, Fiona, here to answer more questions. As always, for my past answers, click here!
Another question: will we ever be able to invite friends over our houses again? Or is that feature always going to be disabled? (: I miss inviting friends over! Now the only way is if I make a house party, and those often don’t work :/ – winterwarriorwolf
It certainly is nice to invite a friend over! Never fear — there are definitely plans to bring that feature back to Webkinz World. In the meantime, you can spend time with your friends in the Kinzville Park or the Clubhouse, as well — and you can share your room designs in the Share Center or send them to letsbuild@ganz.com for Michael Webkinz to potentially share.
Hi Fiona! I was wondering,because I’m kind of scared. Well,on my file where it shows how many pets I have,it says,”Your membership expires November 13,2016.” What does that mean? I know that it is a year more,but still. Does it mean I’ll lose my pets? :( – ssppiiddyy
Oh, goodness! No reason to be scared :) In this case, membership refers to “full membership” — you get exactly one year from the date of your last pet adoption. When your full membership expires, your account becomes a “free” membership. All of your pets and stuff will be there, but there will be a few restrictions on what you can do. But you can always adopt another pet to get another full year of full membership, or you can purchase a Deluxe Membership to get access to everything in Webkinz World!
Hi Fiona. I’d like to know about limits on our Friends lists. I have never refused a friend request in Webkinz World, & I never want to, but I currently have over 480 friends, so I’m getting close to the limit. I wonder whether we are really limited to 500, and if so, why this is the case. Also, if we do top out at 500 friends, will any further requests sent to us be automatically declined? I hope not! Thanks, Fiona! – 1Emerald1
It’s true… 500 is the limit! When you turn your KinzChat phone on, it has to track where all of your friends are, if they’re online and what color zone they are in. That’s a lot of information and can slow things down, which is why there is a limit. You won’t receive any more requests after that, and anyone trying to add you will be told that your friends list is full.

Dear Fiona, Will Webkinz ever fix my pet snowman. Her head is all wrong since Webkinz X… her eyes blink away from her face and the hats don’t fit her anymore. My snowman used to be able to wear the snowman outfit but no longer can because it doesn’t fit right. Glasses don’t fit right either, the bunny mask with the nose used to fit too but no longer… it’s so sad. It’s like the whole head and face are off… everything floats away from the head and face and is misaligned. Please look into this. Please fix her so I can have fun dressing her again.
I also hope Webkinz will fix the Polka dot winter coat. It’s broken. It says can not find the item instance every time I try to use it and it can’t be placed in a container.
Yeah, I used to love inviting friends over. I tried to let my brother come but it didn’t work. So we had to cancel the play date. Please fix it!!!!! -MisakiKt
I’m having trouble with the Kinzville Valley Home that I received as a part of the Family score prizes. It says it cant be placed anywhere in the house, and doesn’t work in the map either!!
Please contact customer service so they can put the item in the correct dock: webkinzsupport@ganz.com
Fiona, any plans to reset the magical forest once we have completed it? I Would love to play again :-) thanks
hay ganz i am just wondering.i have sent in many letters with questions but non of them have been answered.why is that
Will actions be back soon and are there plans to add any new ones?
I love the blowing a kiss action. The pets look so cute when they do that. Sometimes my pets do it when I get them out of bed too.
I love the “jump up” and “wag tail” glitch actions- you couldn’t win them but your pet did them sometimes right when you went into the room. Wag tail looked so cute on googles, their butt shook xD
Hi Fiona!!! I love completing challenges, it’s so fun and the prizes are awesome, but I’ve finished for awhile them all. Will there be more new ones, except Monthly Deluxe Challenges and others for events like Winterfest or Wacky Celebration, because is really fun to complete them!!!
I was wondering because of that last question if there will ever be a feature where we can see how long ago our friends have last played, I have been on Webkinz sense Christmas 2008, and I have TONS of friends most probably don’t even get on anymore, I think this feature will be a big help!
That’s an awesome idea!! I’m really curious- I hope you add that eventually.
Since webkinz X started, what I did was wait about 2 or 3 months and then I check their pet score that is under each friends ID on your friends list. If they have a 0 score, I assumed they are not playing anymore. Another thing you can try is too send them a note a few times and see if they respond. I removed a few who had a 0 score and that did not respond for a few months. I don’t like doing that, but I don’t want to ask a friend that is not here anymore for help with challenges.
Yeah, I do that too. Well u can always friend me- My goal is to play Webkinz until the company stops!!!! (I hope that will never happen) My username is KtMisaki. Plz tell me what ur username is so that i know who is who.
Hi Misakikt, I will friend you and my user is the same as here Barb539. I’m on every day, and like you plan on playing until Ganz stops which I hope is never!
Me too barb- I found that one of my friends from where I used to live earned a little family score xD It was probably her little sister.. but hey maybe. Now I’m just curious about all my other friends.
I’m like you, barb539; I don’t like removing friends, either. I have been keeping tabs on family scores, but I also try to keep an eye on requests and other communications from friends–in case they don’t like responding to their pets’ requests very often. I do hope that all my WW friends are active, and I’d love to know that I’m not asking for help from people who aren’t playing anymore. I’ve been wondering, though, how long do requests (like for challenges and building kits) and unopened KinzPost letters stay active in a friend’s messages? I think a gift that is unopened after 30 days is returned to the sending player, right? But what about other messages?
I’m pretty sure you are right about gifts. I am not sure about letters, I never had a letter returned to me that I sent out to see if they were still playing. So I don’t think letters come back ever!
Hi, Barb539! Yeah, I’ve never had a letter returned, either. It would be nice if we got a message that the player is no longer active or something. And I think after two or three days, requests for challenge items disappear…but I’m not sure about building kits…just trying to figure out how often to bug my friends, lol! ;-)
How can I use KinzCash coins I win?
all you have to do to use kinzcash coins is to sell them then you get the amount of kinzcash the coin is worth. Hope that helps socer10!
Great answer, Fiona, thank you! I am not a tech & there is plenty about computers & programs that I don’t know, so I’m always looking to learn more about how these things work & why. You have been a big help!
