Dear Webkinz Fans,
Two years ago we came up with an idea. An idea to make some big changes to Webkinz.com to prepare it for its second decade of online fun. That idea was affectionately known as Webkinz X. Our goal was to give your pets more life and more importance in your day-to-day Webkinz play, and furthermore, reward you for being a great caregiver to your family of pets.
After two years of hard work by the Webkinz team, including many long nights and weekends, Webkinz X has arrived.
What you will see is just the beginning. Over the next few months we will be dramatically increasing the ways to increase your Family Score, and teach your pets new requests so that you have more ways to care for them. It’s going to be a lot of fun for everyone, whether you’re a collector, a gamer, or just like playing in the room.
This first release of Webkinz X does have some issues. We have not made a release this large since… well since we first launched the game 10 years ago. Included in this release is a completely rewritten My Room. This new Room has built from the ground up to give us the ability to add new, exciting features to the Room, many of which you’ve been asking about for a long time.
As part of this rewrite, all 17,000+ items in Webkinz World had to be reworked for the new Room. While we got most of these items to work, some are not 100% perfect yet. Some items are not animating properly and other are missing their images. We know that these will be of concern to you, so we have a team dedicated to making these items right, and we will be making regular updates (every few days) until every item is done.
Please use the links below to see which items are not working properly. These pages will be kept updated with the latest information, so check them regularly. Additionally, some popular features are currently disabled (Pet Actions) or changed (Gardening) as we continue to make improvements to our new Room. All of these features will be returning to how you know and love them. Thank you for your patience as we make these important and exciting changes to Webkinz World. The future has arrived!
Cheers,
The whole team at Webkinz World.

I see you PROMISE to make things appear again . I won’t cry ok (or cry too much) I will hope you are true to your word and things return :( :( :’(
2 Years in the making, wow!! I’ll be staying up tonight to wait for its release. I figured there would be glitches, that’s fine
SPELLBOOK PERCH will be missing its my Apprentice pet owl”s PSI !!?? Will it return ??!!??
It won’t be missing, it just won’t show up. And I have no idea.
I love you so much Webkinz World Team! Thank you for making webkinz X possible!
Wow, these lists are much longer than I anticipated. Hoping you will be able to be successful soon. Good luck! Thanks for all the hard work.
Thank you so much for giving us the ability to look up which items you are aware of not working properly so we don’t “panic” . Although I do wish you would wait to release this version until you had many many less problems. *sends Webkinz headquarters a case of extra strength Tylenol* use it wisely…I think you will need it.
And, don’t forget the tissues! Good luck, Ganz team, this is one week that I don’t envy your jobs! Hopefully, the players will calm down (hope springs eternal, right?) ;o)
Hopefully the updates won’t be too terrible…
These LINKS must be posted to the side of the page until ALL ITEMS return !!
Enchanted Tower – I have 3 they are central to my Enchanted Tower room When will they be back ? I see MERMAID plush will be missing I need her she is Tritons favorite in my Mermaid Rooms with her pink hair she is a stand out favorite !! When will she be back ? Autum Gazebo when will it be back ?
No worries, It’ll get fixed :D But you commented this on July 7th and I typed this on September 15 :( Comment back if it’s fixed
Gennell Webkinz, will we lose any of our growing garden items from our docks? I have a little over 5,000 veggies that I have been hoping will be easier to sell after the update.
I’m not Gennelle. But I’m here to reassure you! They said NOTHING will go away. It just might not appear or might not work right.
I was hoping to continue selling my veggies but between NEVER be able to get on or waiting an hour just to play for a min before it freezes up again I can Never make to my garden. I can’t believe webkinz has turned into such a nightmare. You don’t know how much it pains me to say that but it’s impossible to play unless i want to spend ALL DAY waiting for a pet that’s demanding and i can’t make happy cause it won’t load.. Man I’m unhappy. My pets are consistantly looking as depressed as i feel. Please say that the final update will fix the loading issues. I tried evrything you suggested. It only works for a min though..
Uh… Is the seeds s’posed to be in the food section in your dock? It’s weird :( But no matter what happens I would still love webkinz :)
