More Ghostly Sightings from Webkinz News

Webkinz News has stated that As Halloween approaches, it looks like they are going to step up the hauntings in the rooms. Get out your Trick or Treat bags and find that ghost to complete your Ghost Busting quest and get the Customizable pumpkin for your room. You only have until the 31st to complete this quest.
 
Based on reports from members in our forum, it appears that the ghost is now on a 15 minute schedule instead of a 20 minute schedule.  That means the times we posted in our earlier article have changed.  Now he is following this pattern:
 
He goes to light blue, yellow, and green at these times past the hour- :08, :23, :38, and :53.
He goes to gold, dark blue, and pink at these times past the hour- :12, :27, :42, :57.
 
To keep things simple, for those of you who don't want to do the tracking, on this new timing, if you stay in the same room, in the same color, you will have two chances an hour at finding the Ghost.  Remember to look for him at 15 minute intervals.
 
Despite what the front page article of the Newspaper says, you can still only get candy from the Ghost once every three hours.

I am happy to read this news abut the ghost---the entire process along with the code problems last weekend with the evil queen gown was very disappointing for many people. I still think they should make good on all codes received as a jesture of good will.

Once you have got the latern, IS it posible to get more cnady.

I read, that only one lattern per account will be the price.

But can we get more candy, or will be just one per account per type.

Yeesh! I think this is even worse!

At least when he was showing up every 20min (it would be 3 times an hour) between 3 rooms, you could calculate that (for me) he would be in the same Room at :14 (Go Fish), the SAME room at :34 (Exercise), the SAME room at :54 (Trading)

But now with the new 15min schedule, the room will continually be changing.
For example:
if he appears in Go Fish at :14, Exercise at :29, Trading at :44, then Go Fish again at :59 when it comes back to :14 he should be in Exercise.

With the first system he was ALWAYS in the same room (Go Fish) at :14.
Now, at :14 he might be in Go Fish or in Exercise

Does that make sense?

It does seem easier to find with 4 times an hour (not three) but once you find him, the pattern is more confusing - I think (in my humble opinion)

Does Ganz do anything simple and without changing the rules halfway through?
Fun for the kids? Yeah right!

I really hate it that things are so complicated with this Halloween candy thing, there has to be an algorithm created to get it.

My daughters and I really like the cute pumpkin and we'd love to each have one, but in order to follow the established computational procedure necessary to get one, I'd have to quit my job and the girls would have to drop out of school.

I am disapproving of this whole thing, feeling that it's become work instead of fun, which is not such a huge deal for the three of us (a middle-aged woman and two teenagers). but will be a big deal to my niece and nephew, who are elementary school aged children.

I agree with you.My gandchildren are so frustrated because they haven't found any ghost and they have zero candy. Also they do not have much time to spend on WW because of homework. What genius thought up this awful game?

I just saw the ghost, and after clicking on it, it took me 45 minutes of "Control, Alt, Delete" to force the program to close, and finally I just had to shut my computer off. I am NOT impressed with a game that freezes your computer so much. I'm not a computer-techy person, so it seems to me like this is doing some permenent harm to my computer....I'm sure it's just fine though. PLEASE Ganz, can you fix games like this in the future so they don't become more of a headache then a Jack-o-lantern is worth??? Please? Or at least explain to us why our computers are timing-out so we don't think we just uploaded a virus or something.

Thanks!

Adr, do you have multiple accounts open? I was thinking that might be why my computer timed-out...

I thinkGanz changed the scedule Because insiders figured it out.

As for the gem codes I hadlots of extras for some children who weren't allowed to play and some to give for gifts for ones that didn't get any ,Thanks Ganz

It states that Ganz has apparently fixed this timing-out/freezing glitch but I know for our family's accounts, we still freeze up after we have been fortunate enough to see that tricky ghost.
I never even thought that it could harm my computer or that I had uploaded a virus. Hopefully it's just a little (although annoying) glitch with no harmful effects.

I know, I think you're right.....it's just that when you can hear the computers little fans and whatever-else in there that makes noise going nuts, it just seems like it's not good for the computer! And it's just a pain to shut everything down and get it started again!

Does anyone know if it's still 1 piece of candy per 3 hours or if they changed that?

I have Webkinz on in the background at work, headphones in to listen for the ghost. It's working so far.

Still only once every 3 hours which would be fine if that is what the newspaper had said, but since it said every hour I think it is just wrong to change the game like that after announcing it.
