Ghosts & Diamonds
We have learned more information about hunting for the Trick or Treat Ghosts in the Webkinz Clubhouse:
1. You need to be in a room in the Clubhouse to “see” a ghost.
2. You will hear a “woooohoooo” sound when the ghost enters the room.
3. Click out of the game/trade or whatever it is you are doing.
4. Click the ghost.
5. You will receive a candy, then your screen will lock up, and you will have to exit out of WW. (Love the glitches, huh? Guess that is the TRICK part, and the candy is the TREAT part!)
6. Your candy will appear in your dock as well as your pumpkin candy bucket that you see in the Clubhouse.
You may only collect candy from the Ghost every 3 hours! Trick or Treating in the Clubhouse should be available from October 24th until October 31st.
Â
You click on the Floating Diamonds on Webkinz Newz to receive a code to enter for the Evil Fairy Tale Queen’s dress from the Snow White marketing campaign. The diamonds are up at the top left hand side of the screen near the advertisement and header. They enter the screen just as the page finishes loading. If you do not see one, then you can click refresh after the page loads multiple times until you do. The Evil Fairy Tale Queen Dress is currently valued at 6,000 – 10,000 kc and will increase in value over time.  The “Find a Rare Diamond” contest opened at 12:00 am on Saturday, October 24 and closes at 11:59 pm on Sunday, October 25.
Note: The rules of the diamond contest state that you may only receive one code per email address. Several of us did not read the rules carefully in our excitement and have sent multiple codes to our emails and entered them on our accounts. I do not know if Ganz will take any action for our error.
The rules state this:
Only one submission per email address per Contest Submission Period is accepted. If the Sponsor determines that an Entrant has attempted to enter more than once, all Entries from that person will become void. Entries become the property of the Sponsor and none will be returned. Entries will be disqualified if (a) they are not fully completed or received by the Sponsor during the Contest Submission Period, or (b) the Entry does not comply with these Contest Rules, as determined in the sole and final discretion of the Sponsor.

October 25, 2009 @ 1:05 pm
choco/krafty – you better enter those codes & make sure they work – i had a few that will not work ❓
choco – be careful getting muliple codes on your email – the codes might not work, or ganz might take our dresses away from us – not sure what happens once the codes are entered, so i would hold off on gifting or trading any more of those for now
11 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:06 pm
thanks much chococat! we need to decide items to trade for them now 😀
so far I have two ATV’s for you

October 25, 2009 @ 1:10 pm
I only have 3 emails that i can use, and 1 of them has already gotten 10 codes.
17 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:12 pm
once sent to the email account, do you think they have the code saved to know what email it went to? or just one dress per account?? multiple email accounts but the codes on just one account?
18 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:12 pm
krafty – you need to keep searching for the diamonds and enter the email addresses for yourself, please!
19 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:12 pm
answer to 17 – we don’t know!

24 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:17 pm
I am searching for the diamonds myself, moms… it was simply an offer, sort of, to help anyone out that is finding the diamonds as I am not having luck with them.
I would pass them on to the person who did find the diamond
;(

We do not know what Ganz is going to do, and we do know that they have suspended or terminated accounts for “exploiting” aspects of WW. I want to make sure that everyone is responsible for themselves here so that if something happens, each person has “ownership” of their own problem.
If anyone wants to get their feelings hurt for me saying that, so be it. The adults here need to speak up in order to try to protect the younger people here.
33 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:32 pm
Hopefull Ganz will not be doing any banning due to this
34 chococat663 (chococat663) said,

Momz~ thank you for saying that
36 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:38 pm
I just didn’t think I was a threat to the younger people, moms
I have never cheated or shorted anyone in a trade… I frequently give items when I can and have been with the Snow White items for those who weren’t able to be on during the events…
37 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:39 pm
Krafty~ due to the whole email thing, im not sure about the codes i have saved for you…
38 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:47 pm
Krafty – I have said multiple times that I think it would be better for you to get the codes for yourself. We do not know if this can cause anyone account problems which could be a threat to the younger people. We just don’t know, so everyone needs to take care of themselves on this one until we see what happens.
39 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:48 pm
no worries, chococat, it is super sweet of you to even try!
I will send the ATV’s anyway, or go to a trade room, since KP is down, when possible 🙂 I know how it is to need items for decorating 😀
40 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:49 pm
If you try diligently, I think you will be able to get some for your own email addresses.
41 cocomac said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:49 pm
ooops and darn it never read the rules
All my dresses went in one email.
Oh well I will see –
I hope they stand by this –
That they programmed wrong so it
is a glitch on their part 🙂
2) “The game gave me two [item name here] and I swear I didn’t do anything!”
Bugs can happen. We are not going to do anything in these situtations. When we launched Deluxe Membership, some members received two of our super prize Rollercoaster. This was our mistake and we naturally let all of these members keep their extras.
What we are dealing with are those who were clearly using an exploit, or who are involved in selling items. That is all. If you know you didn’t do these things, your account is completely safe.
42 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:51 pm
I am kinda worried now, i sent 10 codes to the same email and entered 5 of them. I didnt know that it was against the rules and now i really regret it.
43 crazywebkinzchic said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:52 pm
did everyone leave??
44 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:53 pm
choco – i entered a bunch, too, so we’ll just have to see – i just don’t want you to get involved with continuing to try to help others if it could jeopardize you. 🙂
45 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:53 pm
coco – i’m hoping they will see it that way – they should have programmed it differently . . .
46 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:54 pm
Momz~ ok, that make me feel a little better.
47 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:55 pm
choco – i know what you mean! i entered codes on the kids’ accounts, my account, my neice’s account, so i hope i didn’t jeopardize anything 😯
48 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:55 pm
yes, moms, I read multiple times about it being better to get them for myself, I have been “searching” myself for many hours yesterday and again today… never stopped
seems we are not as lucky as some of ya’ll.. my only thinking on that is our poor net connection… since it takes so long to load maybe? not sure…
I was merely trying to think of ways to help those like chococat, that had gotten multiples on one email account.. just trying to think around the problem… in reading the rules again, it doesn’t say (or where I saw it) where only one code per WW account… or is that to be implied? I don’t know, that maybe someone else might know or just something to think on…
The use of my other email accounts was just that… someone send to any of my accounts I would pass the code back to them… they would still benefit, not me
very sorry!
49 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:56 pm
i have also gotten several codes that say they have already been used, so i don’t know what is up with that . . .
50 cocomac said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:57 pm
Plus they are sending out bad codes so if you get a bad code you can get another ?
Hmmm this will be interesting..
51 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:58 pm
They are sending out bad codes… Looks like this is partly their fault
52 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 1:59 pm
coco – it will be interesting to see what happens . . . i knew you had already gotten one, so i did not send one to you, but that’s the problem – if we send them to other people, we don’t know if they could have already done it themselves – ugh – what a mess!
53 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:02 pm
I agree, this is a mess.
54 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:03 pm
WW complaint: seems very uncool to me, to make the details of one per email addy, in the “small print”… young kids are not going to take the time or some not the ability, to read that… be much better to make that more upfront.. and more clear..
one per email..
one code per WW account?? no idea… are they tradeable?? stuff like that
and you’d think it would say.. sorry, you used that email addy already.. please enter another one.. not that hard to code
55 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:05 pm
Krafty~ yes, that is what they should have done, intead of making it very hard for us to find out.
56 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:06 pm
when you get a “bad” code… are you getting the error message that it has already been used?
57 cocomac said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:06 pm
I think they will honor their glitch.
My understanding is this:
There are people that have “replication programs” and somehow they can recreate a very very rare item and trade it off. It isn’t the real item – it is a duplicated one. So because they are duplicating that item they are considering it cheating.
They are also going after the people who are profiting by selling virtual items for cash on auction sites. I have a WI friend – single Mom with child – that was going to do that and I told her definately not to. I hope she didn’t after I told her not to.
They are not slapping people who are taking advantage of glitches – because that is Ganz’s mistake – honestly sometimes I think they do it for fun – to see if it can be found.
Besides, how can they take good codes away – when they truly are sending out bad codes?
Not that I am going to get on the phone and insist that they fix the codes that went into one email. As a matter of face the first code I sent to a single email
address was no good – so how fair is that?
58 KraftyMomOf2 said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:12 pm
both my code and FFQ’s code say they have been used already
59 cocomac said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:13 pm
If they close my account – i will tell them I was trick or treating and they were sending treats = codes that work & tricks = codes that were used.
besides do you know all the work involved for them to track all of this down?
They coded wrong – their mistake – and if we suffer for it – we ALL better get on the phone and complain…
When they did the rugs – you were only allowed to use one email – when you tried again it told you – you already used it. So they did program wrong.
I have also noticed if you read the rules on contests – they sometimes put in the wrong information.
Such as when they want a short story vs something shorter in the contest answer the rules will state 1000 characters on something that wouldn’t even use 1000 characters.
So it is possible they programmed the dresses to be more than 1 – they programmed it as a trick or treat – and they just used old contest rules.
Just some thoughts

61 cocomac said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:15 pm
So on the rugs that is why I asked for emails because they could only go to one and I was having fun catching them just to see how many I could do.
62 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:16 pm
I wasnt able to catch a rug.

so we can sit here and complain or move over to the new post and celebrate?!
LOL
64 cocomac said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:18 pm
I think the ghost candy is going to be the hardest to accomplish on multiple accounts and it is interesting that they shut down the kinzpost
so you can’t send all the candy to one account to get the pumpkin
65 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:18 pm
i never could see a rug either – that was weird because these are easy to find . . . makes me wonder if i did something wrong back then ❓
66 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:19 pm
coco – if you send or trade for the candy, it does not go in your pumpkin to get the jack o’ lantern – i traded for one yesterday just to see . . .
67 chococat663 (chococat663) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:19 pm
The kinzpot being down is something i am not happy about. Though i guess it is better than waitng and haveing it shut down around christmas time 🙄
68 momskinz (momsownkinz) said,
October 25, 2009 @ 2:20 pm
it looks like you have to collect all of them from a ghost in order to get them in your trick or treat pail
does that make any sense?
