We have listened to the concerns of our Webkinz fans and decided that we will rollback the Kinzville Park change made today. As of noon tomorrow (March 13th) players will once again be able to enjoy chatting with KinzChat PLUS while visiting the park.
Our decision to reduce KinzChat PLUS was not taken lightly. Our numbers were showing that the system was not being well used, with the large majority of rooms available completely empty. Over 90% of social play was happening in regular KinzChat. The most used KinzChat PLUS area has always been the Trading Room, as it is much easier to make a difficult trade when you can use a full dictionary of words. As such we never even considered removing KinzChat PLUS from the Trading Room. It was our belief that with so much of our current chatting occurring in the Trading Room, that this would be enough.
After making the initial announcement, we heard from numerous fans about their concerns about the change. One of the most impactful concerns was the ability for players to enjoy chatting without getting interrupted by continuous trading requests. We agree that this would have been a problem.
In the end we decided that the best course of action was to just open the Park back up again. We feel this gives our KinzChat PLUS players a large area in which to chat, while allowing our monitors to focus their efforts so to provide the best service possible. The Coral Cove and Clubhouse KinzChat PLUS features will not be returning.
We will be making a few more small changes, but we are committed to making the Kinzville Park your go-to location for fun KinzChat PLUS chatting.
We thank all of our fans for their input on this change and look forward to your feedback as we continue to refine Webkinz World in 2014!
- Your Furry Friends in Webkinz World.
o_o well Ganz it looks like you payed really good attention to our complaints! But I can’t find my BFFs anymore. Please add the “Find My Friends” feature back in while you are at it.
Oops, was logged in as my mom :O
I’m gonna have to delete it somehow….. :D
Will friend’s finder be available at the park?
Doubt it. Ganz, can you please answer?
It’s not there at the moment. I certainly hope they add it soon. There isn’t even a list of all the webkinz in whichever park you’re in, so it’s really hard to find your friends. If they don’t add friend finder, for me it’ll be to troublesome to find people to even bother going in KC Plus anymore.
i know i want to find all my friends in kinzchat+ and heres a tip when you are looking for friends in kcp just go in and out till you find them now to find Star (thats the nickname i gave her :) ) i wounder if she will see this?
Thank you so much GANZ! I love to trade, and at least with the Kinzville Park being Kinzchat plus, there won’t be people going to the trading room just to talk.
Thank you for listening to all the requests that have been made. Over the years we have made lots of friends that we love to chat with and the park is a great place to gather. :)
It would be great if we could dance in the too. :)
OH MY COOKIES BEST IDEA EVER!!!!!!!!!! dacing webkinz SO ADORABLE!!!!!!!!!!! *starts hyperventilating* OMC (oh my cookies again) THERE COULD BE DIFFERENT BUTTONS FOR DIFFERENT ADORABLE THINGS! IT WOULD LOOK LIKE THE ACTIONS BAR! EXEPT CUTER! THERE COULD BE THREE PINK GOOGLES MOVES! AND MORE! AND- AND- *faints* :O OMC >~pop~<
wait so only park? not other rooms?
Because this is another “fix” meant to make ‘kinz “happy”. They think that doing this will make us all “happy”.
right just because of this so called “fix”makes me not happy u think since u aded park everyone will be “happy” u are wrong (i am just mad at u because i got fully baned and i love kc plus
YES! THE PARK NEEDS THE PLUS CHAT BACK! THANK YOU
I am happy about this too! :mrgreen: But I would like the other rooms of the clubhouse to stay too. (I was aiming for the park mostly though)
THANK YOU FOR LISTENING GANZ!!!! Much love to you!!!!!!!! So ahppy to spread the word!!
This is awesome… I just wish that 30 of my best friends hadn’t already quit. Thanks for at least listening to your customers though!
Well, I have a friend that just got KCP, her username is btf2011
Oh, Ganz! You do not know how happy this makes me! *wipes tear from eye* Thank you soooooo much!!!! this just makes me sooo happy… now I will have a better chance of seeing my best friends on here! Thank you!!! (It would be more than awesome if you could add more kinzchat+ rooms too)! You are now getting your fans back Ganz!!!! :D :) :P
It also probably took a lot of courage to admit that your change was not taken lightly. Ganz, you are making a lot of webkinz fans SO happy!
Ikr I love ganz cause of this!
But, they didn’t give us back our Restraunt and other roleplaying rooms back! Not to be a pessimist…..
Oh well, there’s probably gonna be even cooler rooms soon! ;)
The Coral Cove and Clubhouse KinzChat PLUS features will not be returning. Wait so… the normal clubhouse kinzchat plus is not returning!?!? Oh great… just as I feared…. :(
Ganz, this isn’t enough. Please give us back our KCP. If you don’t give us back our Restraunt, Boutique, and the others, at least give us ONE other instead of the Trading Room. I’m sick of people wanting TWO Pet Specific Items for two coupons and a food.
DONT BE MAD AT THEM, IM HAPPY FOR WHAT THEY DID :D
ABOUT THE PARK COMING BACK
well i guesse your right
i agree this makes me wanna quit
I haven’t been on webkinz in a long time (growing out of it), but I do come on every once in a awhile, and am disappointed to find that almost every time I come on, they are taking something away. *sigh* At least I played when it was still good, not to be a negative nancy or anything. Ps: TODAY’S MY BIRTHDAY!!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: Just relaxing, about to have some cake! What are your thoughts on all the changes that GANZ are making?
first I’m VERY happy that park back! and second, the 14th was my friends birthday! and third HAPPY LATE BDAY TO YOU HAPPY LATE BDAY TO YOU HAPPY LATE BDAY TO KinzKollecter HAPPY LATE BDAY TOOOOOOOOOOOOOO YOOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D :D :D :D
Reply to my last comment: They mostly play in KC b/c they don’t know how to set it up!!! Make that easier, reverse all changes to KCP, see how many play!!
i dont like them and i dont think anyone really does ive seen atleast 50 of my friends quit cause of this ganz u might wanna rethink it
Ganz I think ALL the KCP people are sad because of the new change please give back the rooms and I’m also sick of people trying to invite me to trade
IM HAPPY! THE PARK IS BACK!
So Ganz is not changing all the kinz chat plus clubhouse rooms back to the way they were. And ganz can you make it so were able to friend each other in the kinz vill parks. Cause if you are gonna keep it like it is its gonna be harder to find people in the clubhouses. Thx
we might or might not get a other webkinz kinzchat plus room! webkinz said for a contest you can make a clubhouse room and they will see which they pick!
i would rather have them put all the rooms back and take away the park
Take away the park?!?! NO WAY!!! I was happy to hear about this. I mean sure I’m really disappointed about the clubhouse, but at least we have another place to Kinzchat PLUS without people asking to trade with you. Also I think there’s more things to do at the park I mean think about it! Mr. Moo, playground, game area, picnic tables, grills, bonfire, a stage, trees to sit in, and picking up trash and recycling it. and that’s why the park should stay!
