BREAKING NEWS: Ancient Civilization Theme Gifts, One Rare Limit! Print E-mail
Written by Justin   
Friday, 22 February 2008
One of our members in the WebkinzInsider Forum, 77marie, was the first to let the moderators know that she and others have started receiving pieces of the new Ancient Civilizations rare theme as bonus adoption gifts! For some time now, users have been reporting receiving pieces of this new rare theme with Trading Card codes, but this is the first we've heard of the pieces coming with adoption gifts!

With the rare list being hidden, and the new Curio Shop Limits, this will likely be a very sought after and hard to complete theme!

[... Read More for Curio Shop Limits & More About Ancient Theme ...]



Preview picture of the Ancient Civilizations theme:




The Ancient Civilizations theme consists of the following items:
  • Ancient Brazier
  • Ancient Civilization Flooring
  • Ancient Civilization Wallpaper
  • Ancient Ionic Column
  • Caesar's Chair
  • Centurion Candelabra
  • Centurion Coffee Table
  • Emperor's Bed
  • Emperor's Settee
  • Grand Empire Chest
  • Imperial Dining Table
  • Imperial Side Table
  • Imperial Urn
  • Legionnaire Shield
  • Legionnaire's Suit of Armor


As I wrote before, there is another new behavior to the Curio Shop that we hadn't detected.  Multiple members have reported that they are only able to buy one rare item per "Sale time" per account! This specific change will make each rare item much harder to get and will likely increase trade values as time goes on.  Please keep an eye on our respected WIGEV for trade values!




We're still working as hard as we can to come up with a solution to get some kind of rare predictions to all of you, so that you can have a heads up as to what is coming up in the Curio Shop, at least a few hours in advance.  Keep your fingers crossed!

I don't mind there being a limit, but one is not fair. I think a fair limit of two or three would be fine. It's going to take forever to get enough chairs for a dining table, or for a matching set of furniture.

can we see if someone who has an asian acct. could set up something . aren't they a day ahead of us?????

I think the CS Limits are a good idea because users who have hundreds of 'Kinz and millions of KC buy all these rares every day and then go to the boards and post these amazing houses with loads of rares. It makes us work a little harder and makes the game more of a challenge. I am not happy with the private servers, however. I know a lot of people who feel the same way as I do, so please don't shoot the messenger. Thanks for everything you do, WI, and I hope something can be worked out too. =)

I don't think they should impose limits on what you can purchase. We work to hard to save up and then can't get what you need to finish out a room or even buy extra for a friend as a present. You need to be able buy what you want.

you guys forgot the emperor statue i think
btw i have tree accounts so the limit sort a works for me

Is it just me or is Ganz acting like these rare items are something they can run out of? Or that they cost them SOOOOO much real money that they have to ration them? Geeze!

My Curio Shop is locked up. All I get is the "w" loading symbol. How do you get rid of that.

Boo that stinks! Now, it's going to be impossible to complete tings like dining tables, let alone rare themes! On a good note, I think the new rare theme is AWESOME!!
taco727 , February 22, 2008, 06:23:25 PM

My CS is locked up too (for two days). So are those of my children. It's been frustrating.
I agree with limit restrictions, I like to purchase rare items for myself and as gifts for my family members. Can't imagine how Ganz will run out of virtual rare items...
Misfit , February 22, 2008, 06:37:43 PM

Ganz is being mean now. All of this is ridiculous.
kt150 , February 22, 2008, 06:40:44 PM

that stinks like a skunk! i mean, if there's a rare item chair, you could only get ONE 1 of them! why do they have that rule! its like Ganz is TRYING to make you mad!!!
but, the wall paper is still cool...
Alexa , February 22, 2008, 06:49:02 PM

I can go in the curio shop
P.S I LOVE THE NEW STUFF
P.S.S I dont get that people thnk its ridiculous

"What is wrong with Ganz! Whoever this Curio Shop nazi is needs to be fired"

1. Nazi's were a political party that got out of hand.
2. It's highly unlikely that one person works on the Curio Shop.
3. This is nothing worth being fired for.

you would think that these items were costing them money.
with all the money many of us spend, we should be able to buy what we want with our kinz cash

with my last 9 adoptions i have only gotten 1000kc as my bonus .... what good is the kc if i can't buy something i really want

I'm not sure what Ganz's purpose for this is,as for me, I probably will drop the whole thing and quit buying their stuff. I'm not sure that they are aware of the adult population they serve. Adults with other things to do than check with Arte every hour.If anyone out there is a magician computer programer I suggest someone open a new site... combo Sims/Webkinz. Would be lots of fun.

In Webkinz World, under Pets & Stuff the Love Puppy and Sherbet Bunny are Not Currently Available. They have been blackened out with these words written in white print above their picture. But there are other seasonal Webkinz that are still available. Does anyone know what this means? I have the Love Puppy, thankfully. But my little sister is getting the Sherbet Bunny and she is freaking out. My friend is getting the Love Puppy and she is freaking out too! Webkinz World better have something about this in the newspaper soon or else people all over the world are going to freak out!!
