Webkins Rant!

Crystalina wrote: I am soooo tired of my kids wanting to get on the site only to have it say they are upgrading They have been upgrading off and on since two days after Christmas! Very bad timing!!!!! And now Evan wants to get on to feed his animals only to get the message 'There is something wrong with our server at this time."

It's really hard to explain this to a 4 yr old.

I have never seen one website have so much down time.

Calimama replied: I wonder if it's because SO many people try to get on it?? Ugh that would annoy me. I hope he's able to feed his animals soon.

luvbug00 replied: we have never had that problem. Lars and Mya get on with ease every time. but then again we get on later at night. maybe your on at peak times.
I'm sorry i know it must be hard for the kids to understand.

A&A'smommy replied: sounds like you get on at really crazy times...and they probably need more servers

momofone replied: I got that same server message this morning then I was able to get on this afternoon.

PrairieMom replied: I have thought that too. They were upgrading thier tournament section for a couple weeks a while back. very annoying. Although, I didn't have to try to explain it to my kid, because I was the one trying to play it.

coasterqueen replied: Oops, I guess I should stop playing games on there now, huh?

That's happened to us before, but usually in the evening when a lot of school kids get on.

sparkys2boys replied: Yup, the boys get it all the time too. I know I relll Cameron the animals are napping he doesn't buy it though!!

Crystalina replied: I think it may be the time we're getting on because shortly after posting this rant I tried again and it worked. When that happens Evan just thinks I'm lying to him.

Brias3 replied: Hmmm...we never seem to have a problem with it. We don't really use it much during the evenings though. It's mainly right after school when the kids are having some downtime, or weekends.

msoulz replied: I think the whole world must have gotten Webkinz for Christmas - that is when we noticed those issues. I think they just got bombarded with new pets and can't handle it. It does get annoying for sure. But during the day it is good because the big kids are in school!

Crystalina replied:
We had 7 of them before Christmas and never had in issue so I think you're right.

Teesa®© replied: We just bought each child a Webkinz and I think I play it more than they do! I try to play as much as I can to get them KinzCash so that they can buy what they want. I buy the big things that they need that are expensive and also to check on their animals to make sure they're OK. It's the "Mom" in me, I guess
