It’s me, Fiona, back for another round of fan mail! As always, for my past answers, click here!
Hey Fiona, will the day ever come where we can send personalized messages in kinzpost? Somtimes what I want to say doesn’t really fit any of the messages we can choose from. It would be nice to chat with my friends when we’re both not online at the same time! – Breelin
I would love to have more letters to deliver! Unfortunately, every single message would have to be reviewed before it could be sent — that’s why KinzChat Plus is only available during certain hours. The closest you can come to something like that would be to have a chat in the forums, and if you have suggestions for messages you’d like to see in KinzPost, please leave a note!
Dear Fiona Why can’t i trade with webkinz members more than once a day? i really wish that would change. Thanks – Katf15
When Webkinz World first added KinzPost, there was a limit of one Gift (containing up to three items) per day, so when trading was added, the same limit was used. If anyone ever got on to your account, they wouldn’t be able to send all of your stuff to themselves. That said, it’s certainly possible that it could change. I hear there are some verrrrry interesting things coming up soon.
Hey Fiona, will the eStore and WShop EVER be separate again (will there be a separate eStore and wShop)? It’s very frustrating having eStore and WShop items jumbled together because I can’t buy eStore items. It’s a little inconvenient. – Dawn2Night
Thanks for the question, Dawn2Night! Stuff from the eStore won’t be leaving the W Shop any time soon, but word around the water cooler is you’ll find it a bit easier to use in the near future.
Have more questions? Ask them below and you might be featured in the next edition of Fan Mail with Fiona!
I, too, agree with Dawn2Night. Perhaps eStore items could have their own separate tab. For example, it really becomes tedious slugging through 17 pages of walls/floors items trying to find the one your pet just requested (and click on it before time runs out) because of all the eStore items mixed in.
completed my high dive building kit but got just a giant square……help lol
We must continue to be patient. Good things come to those who wait…I think…
I agree with Dawn2Night. I don’t really like estore items because I can’t buy them and they make me feel bad. And the good things that are like estore points only they are kcash are the REALLY expensive ones. So all I do to get cool things are trading.
Dear fiona, When will old things come back? Before the Webkinz X update, my pets got sick and I liked taking care of them and go to Dr. Quack’s. Nowadays, my pets act “normal” now and I feel like I’m having the fun rather than the pets having fun. (Oh, when will there be newz for Dr. Quack? I miss him too)
I don’t feel bad, I just find it annoying when I have to scroll through 14 pages of estore items when it would really be 6 pages of just the wshop stuff. They could at least put the estore stuff at the back of the pages.
Hey Fiona, why did the ShareCenter stop approving stuff…? I’ve been submitting stuff since MARCH 26…And are you going to add more fan videos to that page? I heard you’re taking A LOT off, but could you add A LOT more? Thanks.
I agree, this is bugging me too! Need…More…Art…To…Look…At…XD
hey guys… sorry i have not been on for a while! i am super busy! XD i missed the WKN…. :0 well glad im on for these few seconds!!!!
Hey I still remember you! It’s nice seeing you again! :D
aw thanks MisakiKt. i remember you too! :)
she is on webkinz too ya know… i told her about ya… if its okay with ya taffy, can i tell her your user??? she would love to friend you! ;P
Sure! I don’t mind :)
Dear Fiona, why are all the prizes we get on Webkinz Newz now unsendable, untradable, and unsellable? I know that some people might take advantage of getting extra prizes, but it stinks for people who missed the prize and would only be able to get it through trading or sending. As for selling, it really makes a clutter in the dock if you decide you do not want the prize. Will this always be the case from now on?
Because we are getting ultra rare/estore prizes lately. Estore tyype items can’t be traded, because it’s easy to get tricked (or trade out of poor judgment), and estore points are bought with good money.
I understand estore items, but was mainly thinking of the Aztec Calendar because I bought it in the Curio Shop, and I’m pretty sure it was sellable and tradable before. Now that it is a prize from webkinz newz, it’s not.
Weird, I sold my Aztec Calendar (because I already have 2)…Hmm!
oh winterwarriorwolf… you are so right! i lost a GREAT trade just BC someone wanted the bubble fountain they prize from the community challenge! :0
I agree, I have 4 storage rooms just to keep the unsellable items I have
Hi, I just finished recess at the Kinzville academy and did not receive a gift bag why not??
You have to log out, then log back in. Hope this helps! :-)
I waited around for two hours yesterday looking for the DJ booth add and finally had to just give up. :/ Did this happen to anyone else?
I found it after an hour and 30 minutes. They DID say it was going to be very hard to find, but I didn’t expect THAT hard…
Found it WHILE doing log-out carnival! *o*
Dear Fiona, my older sister has this Webkinz account that she hasn’t used in at most 2 years and now she’s considering entering it again. Unfortunately, there’s been some issues. She found some of her old secret codes and entered one in the “forgot your password” thing and it didn’t work! Is something wrong? Thanks! =^^=
I think I can answer this for you! On each account there is a certain amount of time you have before the account expires. Every time you adopt a Webkinz it will give you a year before it expires. Since she hasn’t been on Webkinz for 2 years her account will be expired and that’s why you can’t access it anymore. You can always start a new account but I don’t think that she could still enter her old Webkinz codes that she already entered on her first account again. Sorry about this. :(
Webkinz accounts do not expire anymore. as of a few years ago, “free players” were introduced. If you have not adopted a pet within a year, your account is demoted to “free player”, where you have barely any access to Webkinz, but you may still play. If you have not played for 2+ years, your account is archived. Contact Ganz to fix this issue, Hope this helps.
I took a 3 year break from my account and all I had to do was adopt a new pet. Everything was just as I left it.
Please contact our Customer Support team at: webkinzsupport@ganz.com and they will assist you.
Aw dang. I was seriously hoping for the day when § announced that you could personalize your messages :p Blah. Anyways, nice questions!
hey fiona… on the newz can we be able to put icons like steve? thanks-cowgirl P.S.gosh, steve! I LOVE that lil’ monkey!
ikr lava???? XD im like…. oh please…. lemme personalize my comments…
Fiona, I’ve been wondering something for a while. When you adopt a new pet, are all of those attributes and preferences listed on their adoption certificate completely random, or are the characteristics pet specific? For instance, does everyone who adopts a reindeer find that their pet really likes pizza? I hope that someone from the ganz team can take a moment to fill me in on how the creation of webbie personalities works!
I definitely know that they aren’t pet specific but I also don’t know if they’re completely random. I hope you can get an answer to your question!
I went and double-checked one pet I have two of, my lilac guinea pigs. In fact, technically (in my Webkinz backstory for her) she’s the same pet on two accounts in that she attends at my Girls’ Academy boarding school account and also lives with her brothers and little sister on my main account. Anyway, Penelope Gwyneth on the school school account has pretzels as her favorite food, and Penelope Gwyneth at home has fishsticks listed. Although I can’t imagine her off-canvas mother letting the staff serve her either. :0) I knew what Academy PG loved, but had to check her alter.
Ouch. Sheesh. Not school school, just one school in that sentence. *sigh* I thought I proof-read and everything.
Thanks for the data, roachiesmom1! Maybe I should do a research project! I’d have to collect data from other players, or something, because I only have 6 webbies, and they are all different. (But two of them like lollipops!)
I can give some input because I have four pandas on my account (plus 24 other pets)! XD So as far as the description of the pet, like talents and stuff, I think it just pulls from a random pool of characteristics. Same for the favorite food and favorite toy. So of my four pandas, two say they are “unique” but not in the same order and their other two characteristics are different from each other. However, when they tell you who there best friend is, I think Ganz generates that based on pets you don’t have. I have never logged in a pet that said it was best friends with an animal I already had logged on to my account. I think it’s a marketing technique, so that your new pet says he’s best friends with a Webkinz you don’t have and then you want to go buy that kind of pet. I hope that helps! Does anyone else have thoughts on this from personal experience?
