Mayor of Kinzville
I am missing quite a few of my pets today. They show up in the book of pets, but they are gone from my rooms.
HEY, What happened to all my pets??????? Please fix !!!!
Thanks my pets are all safely home, at Webkinz
I love the gumball lounger and polka-dot clock ! I have the snack machine it gives moon pies !
I don’t understand why any of this is more important than fixing still-broken estore items and all the other room things that aren’t there or won’t animate properly. I may never buy estore points again.
And now my pets are “gone”? Really???
Yay, my pets are visible again! however, Now I can’t navigate to any other room of my house besides the one I am currently in. Can’t get on the house map or buy new rooms. This is simply death to a room designer, I hope the situation is remedied soon. Please don’t ask whether I cleared my cache, I’ve done all the usual things. ;o)
All of these things are happening to me too. I also cleared my cache. Hopefully the WW team is working on the problem.
You really broke things this time. I have pets missing now and I did the normal thing of clearing cache. I hope this is fixed right away.
I am also missing pets and outfits on pets who are there. I admit, I like the new switching outfit feature, but not at the loss of current outfits. Most of my pets have outfits/items that aren’t easily reacquired.
I also have to admit, I stopped checking/switching pets after the first four…though I did visit the room of a 5th pet and he’s missing too. -_- I logged out for fear of losing more pets/clothes.
Spiderhulkman ~ try taking your pets to a clubhouse room. Even though I can’t see them in my house, I can still see that they look perfectly the same, clothes and all, in the clubhouse. Hope this helps put your mind a little more at ease. :)
Thanks for trying Beckinz8. I took Starry (my Midnight Owl) to both the clubhouse and park and she’s still not wearing her outfit I had her in, nor are the clothing in the dock.
I’m so sorry Spiderhulkman. My pets are back now, and able to travel from room to room again. If your outfit situation doesn’t straighten out you should contact the ganz team. I hope everything gets back to normal soon!
I seem to still have all my pets, but they’re all naked. Oh, NO! The clothes they were wearing are not in my dock either. What a pain in the booty. I have over 30 pets. It will take forever to find new outfits for all of them because of all the clothes in my dock.
THanks Beckinz8! and I understand BH1464! I have limited how many of my over 20 pets I’ve gone to for fear of losing more outfits. Seems they are missing the outfits they were wearing, that is, if they weren’t missing entirely. The Ganz/Webkinz team knows and seems to be working on it, so I’ll wait a few more days before full panic mode kicks in. ;)
Hatter (I simply LOVE your username, Mad Tea Party ROCKS) I was also missing pets, but they have all reappeared. Now, however, my ability to move from one room in my house to another is “stuck”. Please keep working on it…..
Is anyone else getting 3rd party videos with this update even though they have been turned off? I live in the country and my internet is slow these videos make it impossible to play. I’m very upset. :(
YES :/ They are extremely irritating, and make play impossible..I could not get through my dailies today. and I went to the parent area to make sure my 3rd parties are turned off and they are….we’ll give it a day or two to settle out and get fixed before starting the slew of emails to Customer Service. ggrr.
ROFL Pokemom! I can relate.
Same thing is happening to me! Normally it happens on my third account, and it’s probably because I haven’t adopted a pet on there since October, but now video ads are all over my other accounts! I’m glad that it’s not just me who is having these problems. Also, I haven’t checked, but I’ve been hearing that other players pets have now randomly disappeared from rooms. I hope this gets fixed soon……
The videos are HORRID. Three people in my family could not play without the game crashing so one other family member had to make them stop and now they can play but they wont be able to do things in certain parts of WK. Its very sad. I hope they get rid of the videos. I understand the need for ads but maybe just not make them videos
My pets are also invisible, but show up if I go to my garden and come back. However today they look like they are not wearing their clothes
weird things happen after every update they do but this one has been the weirdest so far for me, anyway. you guys may have to go into the Settings on your computer to block those ads. That’s what I did some time ago & I never get them now.
My third party ads are gone as of Thursday morning and all is back to normal!! Thank you Ganz :D
Can’t find some of my pets!! takes me to their rooms, but they are not there!!! Say what????
Welcome back my sweeties. Love you. Thanks Ganz. Not for the scare, but for fixing this.
I just want my PETS BACK THEY ALL DISAPEARED
Cheome DireFox 2 different puters and a lap top They are no longer in their beds ??!!!
Mayor, please help! I went on my account and some of my pets have disappeared! It won’t allow me to add any items in the room either. What should I do????
Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I have my pets back. So very happy.
I think before you go doing a bunch of new stuff everything should be fixed. Webkinz crashes on me constanly. Hard to ever get daily’s in it is crashing so bad.
Miss Cowabelle these changes are great but when are they going to put all new (different) prizes in t?he wish factory
