Members have been reporting issues with Webkinz World early starting early Saturday morning. The game servers, and Webkinz Newz, were responding as unavailable. Normally we would wait and report the results of the downtime, as it is related to maintenance, however no maintenance appeared to be scheduled this weekend.
There have been no reports from Ganz yet on the cause of these issues. Seeing as this is affecting many users, we wanted to assure our fans that this is not an issue you alone are experiencing.
Players are beginning to report that webkinz newz is starting to come online, and some have reported being able to log into Webkinz world for short periods of time. Glitches are still affecting gameplay. Those who have been able to log into Webkinz have been unable to play or participate on most of the site due to server issues.
Update: As of 10pm EST, members have been reporting they are able to log into Webkinz world once again. Although most have logged in, many are still expiriencing issues with the servers including green screens and games freezing, hopefully things will return to normal soon!
