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!

Wait so Webkinz us they are bringing back the kinz chat plus park?!?!?!? :O
I’m happy, but I think this is a bit weird. It’s like someone takes all your cookies and only returns you one, but you still thank him for it. Ganz, you should add the join your friends to the trading area, I find it extremely difficult to find friends now.
I think making everything Kinzchat PLUS sounds like a better idea. (making KinzChat PLUS deluxe only was not one of you best ideas)
what do you mean just deluxe im not deluxe and I have it
no give the rooms in kc plus clubhouse back it wass a stupid idea
i agree!
no no this isint fair i dont like this whats the point for giving our parents email then
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Thanks for giving us back the chat in the park, but can you please add one other type of room to Clubhouse Kinzchat Plus? You know, a room where we can go to talk while we are looking for leprechauns, ghosts, etc. I have been finding it very frustrasting not to be able to chat freely while sitting around waiting for the leprechaun to show up. Chose any one other room in the clubhouse, so long as the “special visitors” do go to it. Please Ganz, this will help us so much! Either that, or change the search for the leprechaun etc to be like visiting Mrs. Claus – you go to one room and they are always there, and you don’t have to sit around waiting for them to show up. Thanks for hearing our concerns.
KEEP THE GOOD COMMENTS COMING MAYBE WE CAN BREAK A RECORD :D
Thank you for letting us have Kinz Chat Plus in the park again. I wish it was still in the clubhouse too, so I could “dance” with my friends, but I do appreciate the park having chat at least. Hugs from Kiwi :)
