This update made my pets act crazy, in order to enter the closest door from the yard they go around the whole house!!!
I am sorry to hear the vampire kitten will not be staying around. I was on the fence about getting on as a companion for my pixie tiger. Now I know I won’t. It takes a long time to get enough diamonds to adopt a pet. I am looking forward to Halloween on Next and Classic. Always such a fun season on any version of Webkinz.
Boo-yah to the ghosty coming back!
I sincerely hope you fixed ALL the problems
Medusa costume!!!! Ah! That sounds amazing!
So exciting to see all of this Halloween stuff! Sad to see that the vampire kitten’s pet item isn’t tradeable though. Is this an oversight?
Yes, most items are supposed to be tradeable.
Oh yay! So the Daytime Rest Chamber will be tradable, once this is fixed?
Yep!
I still have chairs that can’t be sat on. what good is a seat you can’t sit on?
Which chair, specifically? If you have a table too close to the chairs, it interrupts the pathfinding for the pet — try giving some more room around the chair.
The ballroom chair from last Halloween season – crafted – still doesn’t work properly.
Yes, the Halloween Ball dining chairs.
Please fix the Halloween Chairs. Stuck in a room and unable to remove or turn them. I have this issue on 2 Next accounts.
So do I. The chairs look odd.
Thank you for all the Halloween fun! Looking forward to it! I still have a problem with rugs, pathway pieces and hopscotch tile disappearing underground. They no longer appear on top of the floor in my house or on the grass in my yard. I can see they are underneath when I switch to a limited, 4-room view. Then I can see they are sticking out of the ground. Why is this happening?
Please send an email to webkinzsupport@ganz.com so they can investigate this issue
Omg! I’m so excited and I can’t wait to help everyone out with the ghost hunt which I’m good at it. But I have to wait two days to happen.
