Club Penguin got bought — is Webkinz next?

Started by mathewi · 1 year ago

    is this awesome or what?
  • Actually the main part of this post that was incorrect {not totally but really close to totally wrong} is that the 15 is estimate of cost of the plush {there are different sizes/kinds/prices} but regardless the fee to get the plush then access the site only allows access for one year from the date of 'adopting your pet' -- this, however, does not allow full access to the site, still. There are several {and growing number of} sections on that site that have to have items bought separately to access them {charms, figurines, certain plushes with extra tags, klipz, etcetera} and even then if you just buy one of those items {say, for example, 1 charm or 1 figurine} it doesn't allow full access to it even then because the company purposely programmed it so that unless you have all 24 charms you can't 'unlock' everything, if you don't have all the figurines {and even duplicates} your chances of getting an actual prize instead of 'sap glop' and other junk is so low it's not easy to calculate {less than 1 percent, by far, if at all with only 1 or 2 or however few}. They spend all their time ignoring their {finally admitted, at least} 2 bad servers, other servers poorly programmed and way overloaded {crammed with the site, all the countries members, plus their estore and so called news site and their jr site}, etcetera {ad nauseum}. Their bottom line is money, making the most of that with the least effort {which also 'explains' why they have spent so much time and little effort on doing their estore/virtual items instead of fixing all their long running problems and/or buying servers and/or getting better/more technical help}..
