Create an animal shelter in Webkinz Classic
The Issue
As many of us know, Webkinz Classic has been around since 2005, and has a devoted and loyal fanbase of many adult players. Some, who have been adopting pets since not long after Webkinz came into existence.
Over the years however, we change, we grow, and we realize some of our once beloved pets are longer being played with- we simply don't connect with them anymore.
Some of us, who don't just want quanitity because we're collectors, don't WANT 60-100 pets sitting around not being cared for- but we do love getting new pets.
There are players out there who would give anything to adopt a retired or older classic pet without having to spend a whole lot of money they can't afford.
With the introduction of Deluxe, and E-store items and points (not mention the fact that most players being adults with families, jobs, rent, mortgages, and many bills of their own) constantly buying pets to meet collection goals (especially old or retired pets being offered online for a lot of money!), or having to buy a new pet every year to keep being a full member isn't plausible for a lot of players. And the ones who do it anyway, do it out of love and nostalgia, but our wallets still take a hit. As an adult player since 2007, myself, I understand the desire to keep our childhood game going, despite all the challenges and changes.
Well, what if there was a way for pets to stop collecting dust and get the care they deserve- a way for players to keep collecting (and being a full member,) without always spending money we can't afford to spend?
This is where we introduce our conceptual and proposed:
Animal Shelter!!!
A sister location to the Adoption Centre, Mrs. Birdy owns, and her signature and watchful eye is on the Animals shelter brand. However, seeing as she is busy at her full time job at the Adoption Centre, this new location has created the need for a new job! And with it, we welcome (back) her new assistant, Debbie Dragon! After retiring to travel the world, Debbie decided to return after seeing stray pets in need around the world, and donating her time and kinzcash to humanitarian causes. She felt inspired to bring the same care right back to Webkinz world. She can now be seen caring for pets waiting for their new homes at the Animal Shelter! Be sure to stop by and welcome her back to Webkinz world!
At the Animal Shelter, each pet is offered by their owner for a price of their choosing- the available options are an amount of Kinzcash you can fully customize, trades for other pets (the ratio must be 1 pet for 1 pet), or trades for items. Similar to the trading system, both parties must accept the Kinzcash, Pet, or Item(s) being offered before the transaction is complete.
Adopting a pre-loved pet from the Animal Shelter, would also give players another year of being a full member. Because bare minimum access to their childhood favourite game- shouldn't cost money when Deluxe already exists. We understand, as developers, it takes time, effort, skill, and money to keep this game up and running, but as the fan base that keeps it running, it would be wonderful to have something new that's just for us.
NO Estore points are involved, as it gives EVERYONE a chance to adopt these pets.
The Animal Shelter- for players, by players.
