Dear Webkinz, | deconstructing jen

I have a special request as the mom of a very intelligent 5 year old who MUST feed her pets every day.

Can you upgrade your servers???

I realize that you have a massive number of kids on your site everyday and probably more than a few parents. I know I’ve logged a few hours on there playing trivia and Cash Cow under the guise of helping my daughter ‘earn’ money. And when I play at the shameful hour of 11 pm the servers run fine. But when my extremely patient 5 year old logs on at 2 pm when her brother is napping I could sew a quilt in the amount of time it takes the site to load.

Please don’t tell me it’s because you can’t afford to upgrade. I’ve done my part. We have at least 10 Webkinz in this house and I’ve given at least that many as gifts.

So what’s the deal? And when will it be running smoothly?

Sincerely,

A addicted concerned parent.

Summertime load, is my guess. We’ve noticed it’s slow too. I can’t vouch for how it runs at 11:00pm though. *snicker*

OM, my daughter loves that too! She watches her cousin play all the time. And she is totally addicted to those things!

At least your daughter still cares enough to feed her pets. I’m almost scared to try to log on at this point. My kids 20 or so Webkinz will probably all be dead since they’ve moved on to the next fad-Crazy Bones.

ROFLMAO! I used to sell Webkins at my part time job and they really are like crack to all ages. I have one but have yet to go online with it, which now that I am seeing this, might be a good thing. I only need one addiction!
