Thanks for your hard work investigating Webkinz X! You guys all make great reporters – I hope those supplies I gave you in the Park helped!
I’ve learned a little bit more about the project – but not much. Apparently this is part of the ‘evolution’ of Webkinz. Sounds like there is change coming.
But I’ve also heard that the parts of Webkinz we all love will still be there. (Phew!)
You roving reporters brought these three cryptic images to my attention:
What could they mean? It’s a real headscratcher, isn’t it?
I’m going to keep on the trail and see what else I can find out, but I just wanted to say a huge thank you! Your crack reporting skills helped to point me in the right direction!
Stay tuned…
From what Ella has found out, it is looking more and more like Webkinz X is going to be a more superficial upgrade than anything else…for example, that last image looks like it might be the new way to check how happy, hungry, or healthy your pet is; of course, that’s just my guess! I can’t wait to know for sure!
I have the same guess.
It looks like the meters changed to add sleep? I sometimes forget to put my pets to sleep uh oh well at least now i have a reason to remember.
Yeah, I don’t like it that they’ve decided to punish us for not putting pets to bed. Not cool. And the graphics changes look jarring and kinda sickening on a sensory level for me.
I think I know! Those images look like something you would see on Webkinz Mobile! I can’t wait to see what is going on! Please friend me at nataliecatty! (The ! isn’t included in my username)
I hope that this change is for Webkinz Mobile. I think that Webkinz Moblie should be updated but I love the Webkinz site how it is right now. I hope they update Webkinz Mobile by adding new features that can be found on the website but on Webkinz World I hope Ganz doesn’t make the design and game play like Amazing World and I certainly hope that they don’t change the magic W. This change will either gain alot of new players or lose alot of old players. I’m worried what this will do to Webkinz World but I hope that the change is good, not bad… -Snowfox665
what could webkinz x be? the suspense is killing me!!!!!!
I’m not so sure about this. I really like webkinz the way it is. I may not go on if they change it to a point were I really don’t like it.
NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!:( I am so sad, it looks like some graphics are changing!!!!:( I hope the middle one doesn’t replace the magic W! I just hope it doesn’t change too much and that we will still be able to navigate webkinz the way we used to! P.S I saw a bunch of new people commenting on previous articles I read so for those of you who remember me still, I’M BACK!!!!:) (Well for today at least!;))
Hi balletbear, good to see (read) you! It’s been a busy Spring.
Good to see (read) you too 1Emerald1!;) It sure has been, I’ve been busy with school, I actually just got out about 2 weeks ago!:) Glad to talk to you again!;)~balletbear5M
I think it’d be a bad move to change the logo to the picture in the middle. The magic W is really iconic, so when people see it they’ll think “Webkinz”; if the logo changed, then people wouldn’t recognize it! Plus, I think the Magic W is just what a logo should be; simple and concise. It’s got a recognizable shape, so if you were shown a silhouette of it then you’d still easily see that it’s the Webkinz logo. You can’t really do that with the picture in the middle, and although there are plenty of logos that are circles (like the Pepsi circle, for example) I feel that it just wouldn’t be as effective. Then again, I’m not a professional, so I probably don’t know what I’m talking about.
I agree with Fracktail. A W for a logo is very creative, and switching it to a circle, that would not be a good move.
I hope I’m wrong, but this doesn’t sound good. “Change” in Webkinz has typically meant activities that used to be available to everyone no longer are. I guess we’ll see what happens.
I think it’s going to be a visual, stylistic change. I hope they introduce some new features as part of it. And that they don’t remove anything else – like Dr Quack’s Clinic.
or like they did with dicekinz.
I miss the trading card game! I hate change. from the images given they don’t look nice
Hmm… Looks like all new menu buttons. I hope they won’t be making Webkinz like Amazin’ World. I like playing both so if they are the same there will be no point.
yup those images is a real headcratcher.
I wonder what all will change?
I hope not too much. :( Webkinz is perfect the way it is right now! :)
I agree
yeah i 100% agree with ya CaramelKisses33 i absoluty love your username
I know right?! Apprehensive AND happy, right?! :P
I know what it means, it means that they are making this a just kids thing. Just like Elmo or the Teletubbies. #KEEPWEBKINZTHEWAYITIS #STOPTHISMADNESS
How does Webkinz X seem like just a kids thing to you? How does this relate to Elmo or Teletubbies?? Sorry, i’m not trying to sound rude i’m just stumped. Ganz is a wonderful company and they know what they’re doing. I’m very curious about Webkinz X and I can’t wait to find out more! :)
I dont think they will turn webkinz into a just kid thing because of webkinz jr
No, actually. They are making it more realistic to having a pet in real life, Bwfuzzycat228.
SAME HERE!!!!! :-(
I agree to but I get so much lag. D=
Yup I wish they brought back clothing in wshop. Whatever webkinz X is, I hope it’s not 3D. Some people get sick from 3D animations
My mom does for sure, but…. she doesn’t play games anyway so that’s a good thing.
Plus I love your username OceanSpray!
that’s the question I think we’re all asking rippy6 C: Did anyone else have trouble finding Ella and Cowabelle in the park? Or maybe I should ask, did you have trouble getting into the park, clicking on them, or getting the gifts they were handing out? For some reason I couldn’t even get into the game several days I’ve been trying, (it could have had something to do with not using an ad block? which I turned off specifically for the park visits.. the ads with videos make the game run so slowly you can’t even play or log in- sometimes I miss all the Daily Activities, because apparently that’s the busiest time to play- but I’ll try throughout the day and still can’t get in until much later at night sometimes :/ ) Well if anyone has an extra parade chair or rainbow sleeping bag, or any extras of the items Ella gave out I’d be more than happy to send you something back- My user name is KCKisses Thank you, Thank you!!
I tried and tried and was never able to get in to the park to see Cowabelle. I did see Ella, every day, but never got a rainbow sleeping back. I got a few repeat gifts, like the pencil and pad set. I also agree with you about the animated ads. They slow everything down.
I’m starting to think that the new change will be good. There are too many glitches and bugs in Webkinz nowadays. Especially in the My Page thing. Plus tons of other glitches.
Hey! Have you noticed the Glacial Fox in the corner of the page?? Now THAT’S a pet I want!
Ahh!!!! I can’t believe it is todayyyyyyyyyyyy! I didn’t know that Ella would be reporting about it todayyyyyyyy!!! #2dayofvbs!
VBS NO WAY I LOVE VBS !!!!!! LAST YEAR SUPER SPYS!!!!!!!!!!!!
