The recent Curio Shop update seems to have confused poor old Arte. As we all know, he doesn't seem to handle programming changes well, and this week's update was no exception.
When the Asian accounts hit 4pm just a few minutes ago, a time that Arte had been indicating he would have a Rare item for sale, members with regular Webkinz accounts discovered that they didn't have a Rare item in their Curio Shops. Members with Deluxe accounts, however, were able to find the Rare item, Manic Monitor, in the special Deluxe section of their accounts.
It seems that when Arte gives out his Rare information, he doesn't pay attention to whether the account is a regular account or a Deluxe account. As a result, he is telling players with regular accounts about Rare items that they won't get a chance to buy.
Hopefully the programmers at Ganz wil be able to sort out this glitch soon. In the mean time, please check out the Rare notice in our forum. We will bring you the latest information on what time Rare items will be for sale, which Rare items will be for sale, and whether the Rare items will be available on regular accounts or only on Deluxe accounts.
