BREAKING NEWS: Goo-Goo Berries Return to Webkinz World

Submitted by FIA on Wed, 08/06/2008 - 3:22pm.

In a totally unexpected move, Ganz has brought back the floating Goo-Goo Berries. Clicking on a floating Goo-Goo Berry will get you a Goo-Goo Berry in your dock, which you can then feed to your Webkinz. These Berries, which were originally part of the promotion for the introduction of the Go Go Googles game, were previously seen for one week in December 2006 and for another week in December 2007. This is the first time they have ever been spotted during the Summer. According to the Webkinz World News, they will be around from August 7th through August 13th.

BREAKING NEWS: Webkinz and Lil Kinz Lamb Coming to Webkinz World

Submitted by FIA on Wed, 08/06/2008 - 1:51am.

This news is brought to you by our friends at: http://www.ameriwade.com

We can now confirm that a new Webkinz Lamb is coming to Webkinz World. HM201 is a full-size plushie, NOT a Lil Kinz. All of the Easter Webkinz are scheduled for release in mid-February 2009. We are not yet certain if this is a third Easter Seasonal animal, in addition to the Easter Duck and the Cotton Candy Bunny, or if it is a regular release.

UPDATE: As you can see above, there is a Lil' Kinz Lamb picture, as well. We've just confirmed that both the Webkinz Lamb and Lil' Kinz Lamb are both listed as pets for Easter of 2009. We aren't sure on shipping dates, or whether either one will be seasonal at this point, but the virtual pictures of both are shown below, along with the other Easter animals.

BREAKING NEWS: KinzChat PLUS returns to SOME Webkinz World Accounts

Submitted by FIA on Thu, 07/31/2008 - 4:26pm.

Some of the members of our forum have reported being able to get into the Clubhouse AND being able to get into the KinzChat PLUS section. It appears that this long-anticipated feature has been added to a limited number of accounts in order to give Ganz a chance to make sure everything is working properly.

Here is a statement from Ganz regarding the release of KinzChat PLUS:

To ensure that Kinzchat PLUS is working as we intend, we will be opening the Clubhouse to a limited number of Webkinz members during this preview period. Rest assured that we will be opening the Clubhouse with both Kinzchat PLUS and regular Kinzchat to all of our members in the near future.

Kinzchat PLUS grants members more freedom than regular Kinzchat, restricting chat to a limited dictionary of words, and exclusing many unacceptable phrases. All members will require parental permission to access KinzChat PLUS. Please note that access can, and will, be taken away if the rules of Kinzchat PLUS are not strictly followed.

Thank you to sunnybunny for sharing this picture of her Collie in KinzChat PLUS. Also, here is a copy of the error message that most members are still getting.
