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.
thank you SOOOOOOOOOO much :D :D :D :D :D :D for opening the park again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And I know that one time I saw matt from webkinz in the park and if you had ANYTHING to do with bringing this back THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH, GOD BLESS YOU ALL!
So all the Clubhouse rooms are broken for me now. Plus and normal. …not particularly happy about that since there’s the whole leprechaun thing going on.
I have been a Webbie fan since 2007, with a total of 5 accounts. There have been loads of changes in that time frame and I will admit, numerous were not impressive; but this is one that I can truthfully say is a welcome one. It will probably stop or at least hinder those that feel the need to be rude to others. Still do not like the changes to the W-shop; especially as the items go straight to your dock, without you having the option to review them first….
i know i can’t sell items either and i REALLY NEEEEEEED TO SELL THEM
Cool. I don’t have KCP but I know a lot of people wanted it in the park. I wish my mom would let me on KCP though. I’m not aloud to, but sometimes I’ll be trading for an item I REALLY want and it won’t let me confirm the trade. Then the other person quits because I couldn’t click the button. Oh well!
Can you use Kinz Chat PLUS without going to the parent controlls? If so this is wonderful!
Ganz we are so grateful to have our park back. We have a group of over 30 peeps who have shared our lives together in that park..we know each other..we love each other, Thank you GANZ! WOOP WOOP TO SNOW CAR HAD AND SIM FOR MARCHING AND saying ‘SAVE OUR PARK” ha ha
and to matt if he had anything to do with this ~Pawz
Thanks Ganz, You have just brought back a webkinz fan! Thanks again
Well, thats a relief. I don’t like being confined in one little clubhouse room, though I am not necessarily at rest with there only being one clubhouse room for kinzchat plus. But, anywho, thank you, Ganz.
well, that’s just peachy…Maybe try fixing the clubhouse! I can’t get into ANY rooms! They say “connecting” but they have yet to “connect”!!! ALL DAY LONG!!!
OMG IM LEGIT CRYING RIGHT NOW I LOVE YOU GUYS!!!! MIRACLES DO COME TRUE!!! THANK YOU GANZ!!!!! :D <3
