    Here is a suggestion for a really great update you could do. There’s something I really wanted to ask. I know you’re really busy and doing the best you can . . . but for the next project you work on, could you please let us be able to rename our Webkinz????? I named some of mine when I was really young, and to be quite honest the names are just ridiculous and I wish I could change them. I know I’m not the only one who wishes they could rename their Webkinz. I would be really grateful if you could allow us to do this and add this feature to Webkinz World! I think everyone would love it! Thanks.

    • snuglilbug says:

      Oh yes! that would be a pretty neat thing to do since I also have some silly names that I gave to my pets too :)

    • Itswebkinztime says:

      I love that idea!

    • ilovemoonie says:

      YES please! I would love it if they let you rename your Webkinz!! Like lots of people, I have named some of my pets things I now regret when I was younger, and I’ve also made some typos in some of their names. It would be awesome if Ganz would allow us to rename them! :D

    • LadyBeauty says:

      I actually would like that too because I need to make some corrections: when adopting my lil Kinz pink and black poodles I accidentally mixed up the tags and switched their names. Also I made a typo I did not catch until after I had adopted my hedgehog. ♪♫LadyBeauty♪♫

    • Marshy2u says:

      Thanks everyone! :) Hopefully Ganz will make it happen!

    • LovesStaffordshires says:

      It would be nice if we could do rename our pets, it could even be an option for a week. I would like it if Ms. Birdy had an area where you could test name ideas without having to do the whole code process. Pittiesrule

    Thanks for taking MORE features away not like it doesn’t make you look greedy or anything. I can only hope the things that I PAID FOR (woodland wonders, zumwhere) don’t suddenly get taken away because I’m a ‘freebie’ (in massive quotes given I’m still getting pets)

    • snuglilbug says:

      yeah… I was kind of shocked that they took zumwhere since I was just playing it yesterday and I thought as long as you had zum buddies it would unlock for you. kind of like how you would unlock the world for the mazin hamsters once you adopted one …however that whole area also got taken away:(

      • Cloudsheeeep says:

        I’m shocked they took zumwhere too… Now I have to find what I can even trade my zummies for, since I’ll probably never get in again. This all makes me upset and makes me want to stop playing with the more changes coming. Taking areas away from players does NOT make me want to purchase a Deluxe membership. Quite the opposite.

    Why all the Please wait? This makes the academy impossible to play.

    The new piano matches the harp from last year! I love the new snowy cabin and fireplace. The new sofa looks like it might go well with the Webkinz Cares furniture.

    • Beckinz8 says:

      I’m so happy that the designers have created a matching piano! I love the harp from last year, but I haven’t used it yet because I can’t find other room items that match well. I’m also hoping that the valentine’s collection event pieces match the Webkinz Cares furniture too. *fingers crossed!* The snowy cabin and modern stone fireplace will be welcome additions to the game. And that toque looks like there is a fringe of hair attached. If so, it will be a first for my webbies, and whoever wears it will sit in my WW salon, looking like they are ready for a haircut. I can hardly wait to see the sweetheart bookshelf! But for now, I’m going to run right over to the KinzStyle Outlet to check out the new clothes! Thanks Mayor Dr. Quack!!

      • LuckyFinnigan says:

        Beckinz, didn’t you do the Peek-A-News that same month? I believe the prizes were Webkinz Cares prizes and I was able to create a whole room focused around the Harp and those items. Also, if you really want to you can use the Heart candy chairs from the curio shop, Sweet Treats theme and pieces from the Mobile salon theme. Some of those are beautifully interchangeable.

    Thank you for the update but it is really sad that even more features now became Deluxe. Almost entire Magic Forest is now Deluxe: Woodland Wonders, Fairy Falls, and Magic Mire. It feels like regular members are not appreciated at all.

  6. ladysparklez99 says:

    aw yea! cant wait to get the modern stone firplace and snowy cabin. a nice addition to any snowy outside theme,such as countryside xmas.

  7. couttsebug says:

    sure wish all the PSI’s that don’t work would be fixed….thanks.

  8. Dalmationpika2 says:

    please fix the tournament arena it glitches after completing 1 event and why are they not fixing items anymore

  9. bsl207 says:

    Please fix the Forest Travelers Luggage PSI. My favorite clothes have been trapped in it for over a year!

    Oh, man, that piano is soo pretty! XO I wish I could get it. I’m excited to see the winter clothing and other Valentine’s Day stuff though!
