Re: W Shop Room Theme Being Retired to Deluxe on Jan 9!
 

How long before The Wheel of Wow becomes Deluxe!! Deluxe has taken over the Arcade and the W Shop. Webkinz used to be fun. I could go on vacation. Now I cannot. I am not Deluxe. I confess to being not able to afford Deluxe. My money goes to the everyday real bills, food and gas. I cannot afford Deluxe which is money for nothing really.

I know they want more money and people have it. I do not. I am just a Gramma whose kids gave me this pet. They live in Idaho and I live in Calif. I play games with them online in our rooms. I love Tile Towers. I do my daylies and I cover for them when they cannot log on.

I just wish this push for Deluxe would just STOP~!~!:(

That stinks. :(:(:(

This is unfair. I understand that Deluxe people have advantages, since they pay more, which I can live with but that I think is morally wrong. Webkinz is supposed to be fun, not have "social classes". Ganz is going to far. From regular members who might have been playing for years and years, staying with them all the way through, they take away our games, our vacation island, now our room themes. They are slowly removing some of the few rights we have left. The Deluxe people shouldn't be able to take away the things we've enjoyed for practically forever. This is not right. This is unfair. If Ganz wants to favor the Deluxe members and take advantage of people who invested a lot of money and time into this site since they were small, but don't think it's worth it to pay 50 dollars a year for a pile of extra pixels, then they should make two different sites. This is just not working out anymore. This is unfair. Ganz has gone too far.

All these changes to WW. Hope Ganz adds a new theme for non-deluxe members. :):dalm:

hopefully....:(

I guess that's just the push I was waiting for to switch into lurking mode. Log in once a day, get unique prizes when available, do select dailies, perform the best-paying job, log out through Carnival. I have another three tagged plushes to last me a while - definitely no plans to buy more! - but in a month or two, I'll probably get bored enough to leave WW altogether. Is that what you wanted, Ganz?

Re: W Shop Room Theme Being Retired to Deluxe on Jan 9!
 

What?!?!?!? This is my favorite room theme besides the Santakinz Theme! At least I'm Deluxe, but really? At least they're not retiring it completely.

Hey, the good news is, maybe they're going to make a new theme. They usually retire one when they decide to start making a new one. So, you never know. Maybe they'll make a theme like this using an aqua and black color scheme! I would love that.

* For my WI firends who aren't 'deluxe' (you are all "Deluxe" in my book!) - this is your last day to grab some of the great NEUTRAL Items from this theme!

I use the Shaggy White Rug and the Frosted-Top Dining Table and Dazzling Granite Counter, as well as the Mocha Squares Flooring & Mocha Swirls Wallpaper, and the Tri-Mirro Mocha Dresser.

Happy Shopping, all!

GANZ is a company and has to make money. When there is a down in sales on plushies, which I don't see people buying all that often anymore, they have to think of something else. So, then came Deluxe. They have to make a profit since they spend a lot of money making adorable plush Webkinz so the non-Deluxe members can still get online and have fun. You don't have to pay fifty dollars a year. You can pay monthly if you wanted too. If you love this room theme so much, then just get Deluxe! Or at least get a one month membership and try it out. I don't think GANZ is creating "social classes". ::) This is a kid's site and they're not going that far. When I go to the Club-house and trade with someone and all they put up is W-shop items and I'm putting up all this really cool rare stuff I don't think, "Oh, they're in a lower class then I am. They must be poor." :nope: That's insane! And I don't think, "But I'm in the high society because I'm Deluxe." We don't need to get all protest-y and start a WWIII. I think you're taking this too far.

If you don't think Ganz is creating different "social classes" in WebKinz World, then you need to think again. Look at what is happening here. Games and items that have been available to ALL since WW started, are now only for the "Upper Class" (Deluxe)! Creating NEW games and items that are for Deluxe only is one thing. Taking what was once for EVERYONE, is a whole other matter! I can no longer play certain arcade games that I loved to play because NOW they are for the "Deluxe" only! How is that fair? The Deluxe members could already play them! Why take those games away from the non-Deluxe members? For what purpose? Yes....I can afford to be a Deluxe member, but I don't wish to be. I just enjoyed buying an occasional pet and playing in WW to relax and have a little fun. The price of the pets should be more than enough to keep WW up and running. Please remember that Ganz does much more than just make and sell Webkinz plushies. That company does not need Webkinz World to go all Deluxe in order to survive! Personally, I think it's just them being mean. They don't care about loyal fans. We really mean nothing to them. I just added a new pet to each of my two accounts. Like several others having posted, I think my time in WW is coming to an end. I really don't want to stop playing, but taking away from the normal players (Lower Class) and giving what was once free to all, to the Deluxe players (Upper Class), is a little too much like REAL life! Yes, this is just a game...but just what is it really teaching here? I think Ganz is saying...In order to get all the really good goodies, you have to be Deluxe! We will take away from you and give to those who already get special things!

THAT is what I truly believe is happening here!
