We're working on making our website even better than before!" and on support page "Webkinz® World is currently down for daily maintenance!
We will be back up for more fun and games at 2:00 AM EST." it doesn't seem to reopen at 2AM like it says.  When can I expect it to reopen.

As far as I know it opens at 9am EST (of course this is 6am for me - and I try not to be up at that time ;) ) and closes at 12 EST (sometimes it is a few minutes after as it seems to kick people out in an alphabetical fashion...my daughter seems to be kicked out before me each time we have both been on.)  It always says that the it is 'unavailable' whenever it is closed.

On a side note... is anyone trying to figure out the new contest???  Are they really only going to give the prize to ONE person???

Does anyone have any tips for Hide N Skunk? Or better yet, an idiot's guide to playing? :crazy4: I can't figure it out. :blush:

I read last night that your "pet" is good for 1 year and then you have to get a new one....is that true?

I was wondering this as well so I looked it up in the FAQ's.
Your pet is good forever, as long as you continue to get more pets. Fourteen days before one year is up, they will notify you. You can then get another pet to extend your account for another year. Your first pet and all his/her stuff will still be there in your account as long as you continue to adopt more pets.

It's really very inexpensive. Your first pet could be, let's say, $10. That gets you a one year membership. Almost a year later, buy another $10 pet and you'll get another year added to your account and now have two pets and all their stuff on one account. To me, it's one of the best gamesite deals on the internet.

Hope that helps.

EDIT: Actually, this is what it says word for word per the Webkinz site.

"Before your account expires, you will be notified by KinzPost so you know to adopt a new pet. When your account does expire, you will have a grace period of 14 days, after which you will no longer be able to access your Webkinz account. Don't worry, though, your pet, items, rooms and KinzCash will be fine for a minimum of 30 days during which you can renew your account for another year by adopting a new Webkinz or Lil'Kinz pet. As soon as you adopt your new pet, you will automatically be able to play with all of your pets on your account.
Remember: If your account has expired, you must adopt your new pet through I’M A MEMBER. MY FIRST ADOPTION is for new members only.

If you pet has expired, you have a minimum of 30 days to renew your account. All of your KinzCash, items, rooms and pets will be waiting for you to play with again.

Great news everybody!  I have been trying to figure out exactly what hours Webkinz is open for a while now.  :)

They finally posted this on the website! Good news is they are open later now:  :yes!:

We are happy to announce that we have moved our overnight maintenance routines from midnight KinzTime to 2 AM KinzTime. The move will give our West Coast members two additional prime time hours to play on the site, making Webkinz more fair and enjoyable. The site will be down from approximately 2 AM KinzTime to 4:30 AM KinzTime each night.
Note that our daily events – such as your Wheel of Wow spin - can not be replayed until after the maintenance is complete. So even though it may be “the next day” on the East Coast, you will need to wait until at least 4 am before you can do your next spin.

We hope that this move will make our important overnight routines less disruptive for all of our Webkinz members.

Hi,
  I guess I am bringing this topic back from lala land.  DD's got a few Webkinz for Christmas and now we have entered the world of Webkinz here.  Does anyone play it?  Overall, it is pretty cute and the girls love it.  I have been trying to earn them lots of points and fun things for their pets and rooms.  If anyone plays on it and wants to add me just let me know.
~Dream
