Glitch News

Halloween is near, and it is almost time for the seasonal Halloween items to be removed from the W-Shop, so, if you have some last-minute holiday shopping to do, now is the time.  Unfortunately, if you didn't pick up all of the Haunted Refrigerators that you needed, you may be out of luck.  It appears that one item has been removed from the W-Shop a few days early.  The descriptions for all of the Halloween seasonal items, including the Haunted Refrigerator, say that they will be "available until Nov. 1."

 

UPDATE:  Thank you to WI member Dash for letting us know that the Haunted Refrigerator will be for sale in the Curio Shop on Friday night (Saturday morning) at Midnight KT for 518 KC.  This may be the final chance of the season for players to purchase this item.

 

It also looks like the Modern TV has disappeared as well. WI will keep you updated on the status of that item.

 

 

 

Thank you to WI member yaniella for pointing out that the graphic for the Powder Blue Skirt in Webkinz World has been changed.  As you may remember, when this skirt was added to Webkinz World last month, it was accidentally given the exact same graphic as the Light Denim Skirt (shown on the left).  A day later Ganz announced that they would be update the skirt soon with a new graphic (shown in the middle).  As of today, the Powder Blue Skirt now looks like the graphic on the far right.  At this point we don't know why Ganz chose to not use the graphic they showed in the Webkinz Newz story.

 

update: The image at the Kinzstyle Outlet still shows the last image, but the pets are actually wearing the center image. Thanks to DwarfHamster101 for the picture

 

We have been getting a lot of reports today from members who are noticing a error in the Webkinz World newspaper.  The story says that the Haunted Hickory is the Enchanted Tree for November.  The Haunted Hickory is actually the tree for October.  At this point, we do not know the name of November's tree.

 

If you have a Caring Valley code to enter for this month, and you want to get the Haunted Hickory, you can go ahead and enter your code.  Despite the error in the newspaper, our members are reporting that the Haunted Hickory design process is working perfectly and that the trees look great!  Remember, it's the month in which you enter your code and plant your saplings that determines which tree you get, not the plushie the tag comes from.

 

 

As many of you know, one of the features of having a Deluxe Membership in Webkinz World is that it is not necessary to adopt a new Webkinz pet to extend the expiration date of an account.  In the "Full List of Deluxe Benefits" Ganz states "Account won't expire while Deluxe account active".

 

Unfortunately, there appears to be a glitch with this feature.  This morning, we have received a number of reports from our members that accounts with Deluxe memberships have expired suddenly, and without warning, despite having several months left on their subscription.  Players affected by this glitch are logging on to participate in today's Fall Fest and other events and are being met with a message that their accounts have expired and that they will need to adopt a new pet to continue playing.

 

It appears that this glitch only affects accounts that have a Deluxe Membership and have not adopted a new Webkinz in the past twelve months.  Hopefully Ganz will resolve this problem soon.

When Webkinz Insider member marthaaa spotted a new Bratty Zum, Zehe today, her Field Guide did not update to show Zehe in her collection - the spot where Zehe was supposed to show in her Bratty Zums page was only blinking with stars.  After logging off and logging back in Zehe still did not appear.

 

Marthaaa also states that once you collect 100 Red Zummies you're not awarded any more Red Zummies, but she received 2 Zummies (1 Green and 1 Yellow).

We hope that the Zehe will show up in her collection soon.
