Having fun playing the new Webkinz, but will always be a Classic Webkinz fan!
First, Thank you so much for the code for the Thanksgiving Place setting. It’s lovely! Would love to have several more of them. Secondly, although I do not care for the “New Webkinz”, I’m happy for all that do love it. It does make me sad to hear that some of the things that we “Classic” Webkinz players have been suggesting and wanting in our Webkinz World (Classic), for years and years, are being done in the “New Webkinz World”. Doesn’t seem really fair. :-( I do wish you could tell us which items in Classic Webkinz, that once worked and now no longer work, will probably never work again. For example, I just got the Log Jammers Ride in a new pet gift box. Doesn’t work. If I put it in a room, it just sits there. Kind of a waste of space since it can’t be used. Will it ever work? Just wondering. And, lastly…I love the Thanksgiving Place Setting! Would it be possible to have some lovely place settings, especially for various holidays, in the the WShop….for reasonable KinzCash…so we could get some for decorating? Place settings are so hard to find, and afford. I do think this Thanksgiving one is lovely! Would really love to have several more of them. Thanks for the code and for the news about what fun stuff is coming up. Please don’t forget about us Classic Webkinz Players! :-)
The place setting is awesome.
It must be really frustrating for the developers to not be able to do some of the things that we would like to see on Classic that they can do on the new site. It seems that the platform that they are using is just not able to do all of the things that we wanted. I’m wondering also if some of the issue with older things not working are because they are no longer supported on the old platform or if perhaps a lot of it has to do with the fact that they are not in the studio where all of their more advanced equipment is.
I bet you’re right, nanamama12! I just wish that all the items could be fixed, or remade to work. Maybe even offer to replace the items that we have that don’t work. I have the Time Machine (from The Wish Factory). There was a time that your pet could sit in the machine and it would make a sound (I think), and lift up off the ground. It was so cool! I love the fact that the Webkinz Time Machine looked just like the one from the 1960 movie “The Time Machine”. Now, since your pet can only “look” at it, it sits in my pet’s Museum Room. Which is nice, but kind of disappointing. Recently I got the Log Jammer’s Ride as an adoption prize. It would be nice if it worked, but I’ve read other posts that say it hasn’t worked in years. So…if it doesn’t work, why are they giving it as a prize? And, since it’s an eStore item, I can’t sell, trade, or send it to someone that would want it. I know I could call Ganz and have it removed, but I’m hoping that someday…..maybe….hopefully…it will get fixed. I didn’t realize until I watched this newest Podkinz that we probably aren’t going to get a lot of our old items working again, which is so sad and disappointing. But, I know in my heart that Ganz is doing all they can to keep The Classic Webkinz updated and working for many many many years to come. :-)
I agree on the upgrades, but not for traditional webkinz. Some of us have built up over a decades worth of items. Plus membership and estore. Gantz could offer diamond packages to those who have been active members. A thank you for us to begin this new game. I will not be able to finacially support both games. The new game does look like fun. We shall see.
Definitely waiting for some new content to come into the new game. But I can say I really loved the Glampire Theme.
Thanks for making Webkinz World so fun and enjoyable even after all these years!!
Thank you so much for another awesome Podkinz and for this giveaway, Webkinz team!! I would love to have a chance to win the Rocky Wallpaper please! <3333 With love, alexutzy97
Thank you for showing us a demo on how the new Webkinz game works! I really like how wall decor can be placed anywhere along the walls. Also, I found it really interesting when the cornucopia flew through the screen from 9 minutes and 13 seconds in to 9 minutes and 22 seconds in. Not sure if that was a glitch, but it was a really nice reminder nevertheless that Thanksgiving is coming in the United States.
I’m SO excited about being able to set 4 items PLUS a decoration on my table! I’m going to have a TON of fun with that. Not to mention we will be able to make better wall arrangements! I’m also hoping to see those Cornucopias floating across my screen as well!
Wait….WHAT???? I can put my new frying pan on my stove?????
Yes :) and you can place items, not just on tables but shelves and even the crafting tables!
I so enjoyed today’s episode! Thank you so much Karl for taking time out of your busy day to give us a run through on the new site. I learned so many new things and yet still have so many questions! First of all, will there be a way to expand the ‘yard’ as our family grows or will it be self limiting? I really don’t see being able to fit as many pets as I have on Classic in the space allotted. I did notice that you have one more crafting table than I have in my crafting room. I will need to go see if I can find it in the current selections we have now or if it might be one that is not available yet. Any news as to whether or not we will be able to buy pets for the new site in time for Christmas? I would love to get one for Christmas and of course for my birthday in the spring. I’m also hoping that there will also be a St. Patrick’s Day event on the new site as well as Classic. Coming from Irish heritage it’s one of my absolute favorites! Not to mention that I like to get in some extra cooking at Daisy’s while I wait for the Leprechaun to show up!
I would love to win the Rocky Wallpaper! Always love listening to the podkinz!
Cool thanks for the chance
