Ella McWoof here! With your help, I’ve sniffed out some important information about the X-citing new project, Webkinz X!
In my previous Newz story, I showed you the new pet meters and introduced the Pet Care Heart.
Now, in my EXCLUSIVE SCOOP, here’s more information straight from the TOP SECRET documents!
The Pet Care Heart is a new and fun way to interact with your pet! Each day, just by taking care of your pet, you can fill their heart! The more you play and take care of them, the faster you’ll fill it!
Feeding, bathing, grooming, exercising, and playing with your pets all around Webkinz World will help you to fill up their hearts.
While playing with your pets, their Pet Care Hearts will ONLY go up. But each day after midnight, all Pet Care hearts will go down by 25%.
The important thing to know about the Pet Care Heart is that unlike their Happiness, Hunger and Energy meters, a full or empty Pet Care Heart does NOT affect your pet in ANY way. So even if you have too many pets to keep ALL of their Pet Care Hearts filled all of the time, they’ll be just fine.
So then, why fill the Pet Care heart at all? Because filling up Pet Care hearts will earn you more KinzCash and Family Score!
What is Family Score? It’s the biggest and best improvement to Webkinz World yet! Stay tuned to my column on Tuesday, June 16th and I’ll reveal MORE about the exciting secret project, Webkinz X!
No! I really don’t like this! I always make sure that my pets are 100% happy, healthy, and full before getting off Webkinz World each day! The article says that the Pet Care Heart will not affect our pets in any way, but it will affect ME! I treat my Webkinz like real animals, so leaving them unhappy, hungry, and tired is just not going to work for me. This is making me really upset…
I do not like this a bit. And I’d like to know if everything else about Webkinz will stay the same. The silence is killing me. I want Webkinz to stay the same. The meter doesn’t sound exciting… It’s actually rather annoying because it seems like it will take more work! I like the fun in taking care of my Webkinz. I’d rather it not seem like a chore :/ Ganz, please take our thoughts into consideration. The majority of us don’t want anything to change! Keep Webkinz the way it is! Or, perhaps, to make everyone happy, give us a choice when it comes out to use the new meter or keep the old. I just don’t want to lose the Webkinz I’ve loved for so long.
This change doesn’t phase me at all. While some people might become frustrated or concerned, I think it will be fun! After all, the heart only gives you more kinzcash and a “to be revealed” bonus. Trust me, it’s not going to be all that drastic! Just one more meter. How bad can it be? I have 12+ webkinz, I plan to get more, and I feel very cool about it all. Personally, keeping care of my pets has become too easy! I need something to keep me coming back. ;)
You didn’t play WEBKINZ FRIENDS it took days and days some levels took months to get to the top.
The higher the level the longer it took to get to the next one . I hope this is different.
I was wondering how people with more than 5 pets would be able to take care of them all, it’s a good thing that there is no negative effect from an empty heart meter.
Ok.. I have over 65 pets so this will be difficult. Just sayin.
You could only use your favorite pets if you like. :)
I think this is a terrible idea. It will turn Webkinz into something we need or (depending on our perfectionist personalities) almost have to do – a chore, rather than something fun. I don’t care how much extra KinzCash is involved; it isn’t worth making something that used to be fun into drudgery. Webkinz used to be simply fun. Oftentimes simple is best. If the heart goes down 25% after one midnight, it must go down by 50% after two, 75% after three…ugh. What a mess.
I don’t think it’s going to be a chore, zeph317, it’s going to be an opportunity to win stuff, just like in the Daily KinzCare we have right now. I don’t intend to change the way I play at all, & I’m convinced it will all turn out just fine. Just don’t quit the comments, I’d miss you!!! >^..^<
I very much hope you are taking the long view and will be proved right. I do need to be more optimistic; I tend to lean toward cynicism. I don’t intend to change the way I play or the frequency of it. Whether the level of satisfaction and laid-back fun stays the same given the changes…time will tell. You are a great friend! So glad you brought back your cat sign!
Will there be a leaderboard for the Family Scores? Can you display it on your profile??? That’d be awesome.
Apparently whoever moderates these comments doesn’t like the truth because my comments are constantly removed. I was the second person to comment and I agree with ttvvv…I don’t like the changes. Fix what’s broken first, then improve on what’s here. The new heart for the challenges isn’t even working correctly.
My comments are also routinely blocked from viewing, especially if I remotely suggest some of this might be leading to more money in Ganz’ coffers. We’ll see if this one makes it through.
My Magic Mire last reward has been stuck for OVER 2 YEARS ! I PAID to get the UNITY PLAYER fixed for my HAMSTERS and it worked on FIREFOX not Chrome ;? so they confused me now they worked it again and it STOPPED working all together. I paid $20.00 FOR THE 1ST fix . YES they need to FIX items. ALSO destress and retirment items should go to CURIO SHOP and get rid of some of the ANXIETY HERE !!
For the last three years the plushies made by Ganz have been more and more babyish but webkinz x seems an idea for older kids. The webkinz x is going to be too complicated for the little kids who like the new plushies. And I think this is a bad contradiction.
Looks pretty simple to me. I think the little kids would have no problem figuring this out, and it they can’t figure it out that’s what Parents or older siblings are for. :D
I better do anything on Webkinz that I have to do. I CAN wait for this. I’m not too exicted.
