WI Member Discovers New Clothing Item: Clown Shoes

Thank you to Webkinz Insider member Dash for sharing these pictures with us of a his latest find in the Clubhouse:  Clown Shoes.  Dash managed to get the shoes by trading, so he isn't able to tell us where they came from originally.  The Clown Shoes are the sixth "Mystery Clothing" item to be received by a WI member in the past week.
 
 
So far we have received reports of Clown Wigs, Fairy Princess Ball Gowns, Superhero Boots, Superhero Outfits, and Venetian Masks being awarded to players from both the Webkinz Cares game and Series 1 Trading Card codes.  Because it is highly unusual for new items to be added to old features like this, many members are speculating that this clothing is actually part of a new feature that has not yet been announced.  As soon as more information about these items becomes available, we will bring it to you here.

EXCLUSIVE: Ganz's Official Statement On Account Bannings in Webkinz World!

Citizens of Webkinz World, we are and have been aware of the measures that Ganz has taken against item duplication and the sale of virtual items on third-party sites. Rumors have been flying here on WI and on various other Webkinz fan sites, and we've held back on this announcement because we wanted an official statement from Ganz containing the facts of what has happened, rather than speculate based on rumors.

Here is Ganz's official statement regarding the bannings in Webkinz World that you've all undoubtedly heard about:
 
I'd like to take this chance to address recent events in Webkinz World and answer a number of questions that I have seen swirling around the net.
 
This week we were notified about a growing concern in the Webkinz trading community about the number of highly prized items that were appearing in the trading room and on certain auction websites. We began investigating the issue and very quickly discovered that we had a real problem on our hands.
 
We at Webkinz understand that our fans take their collections very seriously. They are proud of their accomplishments, and they deserve to be. Those who use exploits devalue these collections and the work put into them. With this in mind we knew that we needed to move swiftly to deal with the situation.
 
Yesterday we terminated a large number of Webkinz accounts that our investigation indicated were using an exploit to generate items and/or selling virtual items. As we have made very clear in the past, these activities are strictly against our User Agreement and will not be tolerated. We are still investigating and we do expect that more accounts will be terminated.
 
We do not take the termination ("banning") of accounts lightly. We have banned very few members over the past four and a half years. We can assure our fans that we using all of our tools to ensure that we only ban the right accounts.
 
That said, if your account was terminated and you know that you did not use any exploits, nor bought or sold virtual items, then call our Customer Service team as we will review your account. The CS team is fully aware of the bannings and are doing an excellent job dealing with this issue.
 
Now let me discuss some key issues that I've seen being raised:
 
1) On the subject of Buying Items and/or "Trading for eStore Points"
 
Virtual items in Webkinz World can only be traded for other virtual items, period. Buying virtual items from other members is against the rules. Trading for eStore Points is just another way of buying items and is also against the rules. Please, we ask that you do not encourage those who would sell their items by buying them.
 
I would like to applaud the Webkinz Insider Gift Exchange community for being so dedicated to fair, in-game trading. I am very impressed with how the Gift Exchange is run and the rules that it lives by. You should all be proud of the work you've done.
 
2) "The game gave me two [item name here] and I swear I didn't do anything!"
 
Bugs can happen. We are not going to do anything in these situtations. When we launched Deluxe Membership, some members received two of our super prize Rollercoaster. This was our mistake and we naturally let all of these members keep their extras.
 
What we are dealing with are those who were clearly using an exploit, or who are involved in selling items. That is all. If you know you didn't do these things, your account is completely safe.
 
3) "How do I know if an item was made by an exploit?"
 
Simply put, you can't. Right now though we ask that you do not trade for the most rare items in Webkinz World as it is very possible that they were made with the exploit.
 
If you believe that you have traded for such an item in the past, please do not worry.  When we review the accounts, someone who happened to trade for an exploit-created valued item has an account that looks very, very different from an account that is actively distributing these items.
 
4) "Why did it take you so long to deal with the exploit?"
 
To be honest, we simply didn't know. We are very busy working on new features for Webkinz and while we enjoy reading the forums from time to time, we generally stick to the main forum and front page stories. As can be seen, we moved very quickly once we were made aware.
 
I hope that this message answers the main questions that you have. We are committed to providing a safe, fun and fair environment for our Webkinz members to enjoy. We thank all of our great fans who play Webkinz in the way it was designed, and appreciate your patience while we deal with those who do not.
 
Webkinz.

Webkinz Insider Members Solve Trick or Treat Ghost Pattern!

 
Thanks to the Webkinz Insider members who have been working hard to track Ghost sightings in our Ghostbuster thread we can now tell you how to predict where the Ghost will appear on your personal account!

Once you see the Ghost once on your account, you should be able to figure out where he will be on that account for the rest of the week. When you see him the first time, make note of what color you were in and the exact time you saw him. When you return in three hours to try to find him again make sure you pick the same color. The Ghost will appear in 20 minute intervals in certain rooms.

If the Ghost showed up on your account at :08 after the hour, 
he'll show up at :08, :28, & :48.

If the Ghost showed up on your account at :12 after the hour, 
he'll show up at :12, :32, & :52.
 
UPATE:  The timing has changed.  The Ghost is now appearing at :08, :23, :38, & :53.  If you just stay in the same room in the same color, you should have two chances an hour of finding the Ghost.

Now, figuring out what room he will be in is a little bit trickier, but as long as you stay in the same color zone, there is a pattern to follow that should have you getting candy in no time.

Party Room to Girls Rule Room to Garden Yard to Party Room, etc.
Games Room to Sports Room to Bowling Alley to Games Room, etc.
Go Fish Room, to Exercise Room to Trading Room to Go Fish Room, etc.
Collector Room to Reading Room to Super Chef Room to Collector Room, etc.

If the Ghost showed up on your account at :08 in the Collector Room, he is on this pattern:
:08 Collector Room to :28 Reading Room to :48 Super Chef Room to :08 Collector Room, etc.

If the Ghost showed up on your account at :12 in the Party Room, he is on this pattern:
:12 Party Room to :32 Girls Rule Room to :52 Garden Yard to :12 Party Room, etc.


Once you figure out what pattern your account is on, write it down so you won't forget!
 
Unfortunately, just like with Doug the Dog, the sometimes the Ghost doesn't show up in every room number of the type of room he's supposed to be in. This is the way it has been designed, each room instance has its own odds of having the ghost appear. To find the Ghost, you just have to be patient and keep trying.  

Each server is on a different pattern and many people have been trying to figure out what server they are on to try to figure out the pattern. If you know your server, you can match up your pattern with other members who are on the same server, but this information is NOT necessary. As long as you spot him once on your account, you have all of the information you need to predict where he will be.
 
It is worth noting that once you get candy from the Ghost your internet browser will lock up and you will get kicked out of Webkinz World.  Some members have reported being able to say logged in if they quickly switch rooms after getting candy.  Either way, you get to keep your candy.

A special thank you goes out to to webkinzaddict and maypal for sorting out the pattern, to crnovakjagular, and adrkmfdm for fine-tuning the details, and to webfamily for helping so many members figure out how the pattern applies to their accounts!
 
UPDATE: Ganz has also let us know that they've squashed the "freezing" / "locking" bug!!!

WI Reveals Exclusive Virtual Images of Webkinz Weimaraner + PSI, PSF!

Way back in late August, we brought you the news of a Webkinz Weimaraner coming to Webkinz World in November. Since then, we haven't seen much news on the Weimaraner and were wondering if the release had been delayed.
 
After today's system update, we've found that the Webkinz Weimaraner has been added to Webkinz World, along with virtual images, PSI and PSF! Since our partner retailer was unable to order the Weimaraner for their November shipment, we are assuming that the Weimaraner is a retailer-exclusive Webkinz still slated for release in November!
 
Enjoy the exclusive images of the cute new dog, along with it's PSI: Charming Charcoal Easel and PSF: Tally-Ho Hoagie!

Webkinz Insider Members Discover New KinzClothes T-Shirts

 
Thank you to Webkinz Insider members malcolm1948, mumsey321, and Catstabby for calling our attention to two new Webkinz products for sale at Justice stores:  a new line of KinzClothes Human-sized T-shirts, and a line of Plushies wearing plushie-sized T-shirts.
 
  • The human-sized t-shirts malcolm1948 saw were priced at $22.90 each.  These t-shirts come with a feature code that allows the player to select one virtual KinzClothes Costume for their pet to wear.  The virtual costume choices include:  Hula Outfit, Nefertiti's Outfit, Rock Star Outfit, Safari Outfit, Scuba Outfit, and Mad Scientist Outfit. (click "read more" below for pictures)
  • The t-shirt clad plushies were priced at $18.49 for two pets.  These plushies come with a regular adoption code.  The t-shirt that the plushies are wearing does not come with a feature code.  There are several different plushie styles to choose from, and each t-shirt has a picture of that version of plushie on it.
 
At this point we don't know if these two new products are going to be exclusive to Justice stores or if they are going to be released to other Webkinz retailers as well.  As soon as more information becomes available, we will bring it to you here.
