Kinzville Academy:It takes too long to learn a move!:l

[TuskanyElephant]

It takes about three months just to learn one move. I don't really know why people would make it that long. I am trying to learn my moves, but i sadly only get to play on the weekends. Please comment and state your opinion.
Thanks!

It does take too long I think and KA costs way too much. Wow only being able to do classes two days a week is harsh. The only thing I can suggest is to find a way to do classes more often.

I agree, it does take a long time to unlock the actions and prizes, but I guess they want it to be that way so that people who get them had to "earn" them. I think it's easy to overlook the fact that a lot of people can't get online every day. For those people, like yourself, it must feel really, frustratingly long . In the meantime, just keep plugging at it every time you have a chance and you'll get there.

I wish they would allow each pet to take every class once per day (not including the bonus class you are allowed with deluxe membership). That way at least you could be working toward each class and prize every day that you attend.

I do not play on WW every day either, and it has taken me a little over TWO YEARS for my first pet to finally earn a diploma!!! Between all the glitches (please wait, shy models, computer too fast, freezing, etc.) and the fact that some of these classes have proved very challenging, even for an adult (I'm talking to you, weight lifting class!), this ridiculously long process has become even longer.

I would not blame you if you decided to give up on the academy. Though the actions and prizes you can earn are pretty cool, I'm not completely sure they are worth the time, kinz cash and frustration I've spent. Best of luck to you!!

Oh wow! This is my newest thread, and I got three people to reply already! I usually don't get much replies....

I agree...It takes way too long!
I'm currently sending 3 pets through the academy (450 kc a day) Although the first few levels were okay, now I'm higher it is even more frustrating. Sometimes I go to a class (agility, those darn hurdles) for a whole week before I can pass even one.
I wonder if I will ever get a pet finished.
I hate to think of the ammount of kc I will spend by the end.

I really wish the cost was a bit better (say, 20 kc?). Also, it would be wonderful if you didn't have to try and remember which pet does what class.
It's also very daunting to go up a level and find that, if your lucky and go on everyday, it will take more than a month to get to the next level (35 classes a level - ridiculous!).
If I had know when I started that so many classes would be needed to achieve the diploma, I don't think I would have done it.

There are a couple of strategies that have worked for me that may help you.

I keep track of which pet is going to do to each class. That way I know who's close to graduating. If you have one pet do three classes and another pet do three classes, then when they graduate it lowers the number required for the next set.

I actually keep a spreadsheet of which pet is in which class, but of course you can check your report card before you even start a class if you need a reminder.

Agility is my worst class by far. I have had four pets finish Intelligence, my favorite class, but still haven't even gotten to the last level in Agility. I will soon have 3 pets in level 8 and I'm hoping that between them I can finally get in the rhythm to fiinish.

It takes a long time, but anything worthwhile usually does! It makes it that much sweeter when you finish. Good luck!

Now that I think about it I joined Webkinz world in November 2007. Of course I haven't gotten on every day, but most of the time I have access. And I am 8 days away to completing agility and getting my diploma with one pet, and only 5 days away from completing style and getting a diploma with another one. So yes, I agree it takes a long time to get there, but I'm sure it will be worth it. Plus I have a third pet that has completed strength, speed and agility. So there will be a lot less days to complete classes for my other pets, which is an extra bonus! So just keep plugging away because it will feel just amazing to hear ms. birdy say congratulations your pet has completed an entire basic course!!!!

Thank you guys for commenting! Getting diplomas are really hard for me, but I still try. Thanks!

I joined webkinz in December 2007 and I won all of the actions. I still haven't won any of the level ten prizes-I hope to soon. For me, It seemed like it didn't take that long of a time to win them.
