Hey everyone,

In case you are unaware, Club Penguin recently decided to stop producing physical membership cards which you can buy in stores. Today I am going to be giving my opinion on this.

After reading an email with Madzom8ie and the team, it appears that the reason why the productions of the cards stopped are due to financial issues. It costs more to produce the actual card and ship it to stores than it would if you just bought it online.

Dj Stores agreed with Club Penguin’s decision due to this reason, but I disagree. Have you ever wondered how many people actually hear about Club Penguin because of the fact that they see so many memberships on sale at their local supermarket? Although I don’t know the exact figure, I’m sure it’s a lot. That would encourage more players to buy memberships, which equally means more money for Club Penguin. I have never purchased a membership of clubpenguin.com and have only bought my cards from a store. I’m not the only one who does this.

RIP

@AstroCP I would think about it if CP membership card will stop in all stores. But I don't really buy much online.

What interests me is why Club Penguin is doing it. If it really was for financial issues, then why didn’t they do this years ago? Why now? This leads me to think about the reason of the timing in pretty much everything Club Penguin. The reason why they’re doing things now. It’s because of #ProjectSuperSecret coming out this year.

I’m beginning to think that #ProjectSuperSecret will change the membership system altogether. It’s almost certain that you will need to pay to experience everything that Club Penguin has to offer, but it’s the most likely reasons as to why they decided to pull the plug on physical memberships now.

However, quite frankly, I don’t think that there will be a shortage of membership cards anytime soon. I checked my local retailer and they still have loads left, so I doubt that they will completely get rid of the membership system especially since they’re still selling memberships online. However, they technically have every right to.

I remember very clearly reading this on the official Club Penguin membership page a while back.

Clubpenguin.com is a live service and may be discontinued at any time.

And on that note, I am going to conclude this post. Do you think Club Penguin should get rid of physical memberships?

Waddle on!

Hello!

Something common which I have seen around the Club Penguin community is the thought that “membership generators” or “free codes” are real. Well, I hate to break the news, but they’re not. Today I’m going to be explaining why they are not and why people actually try giving away these codes using a couple of examples.

I’m going to use my first example as a site I saw some people talking about on a Club Penguin chat. Although it gives a free membership code, the code starts in “13”. Never use these codes as I know of players who got banned for long periods of times by doing so. But these sites don’t exist to get you banned.

They exist to get money. Notice at all the adverts on the site. The way it works is that people are appealed to visit the site, thinking that someone has bought memberships and are giving them away, when in matter of fact, they’re just gaining money because of the large amount of views they get.

Whilst Googling examples for “free Club Penguin memberships”, I came across a Twitter account. You might be thinking, well, they can’t make money from that, can they? Wrong!

When you click the link, it goes to an advert which he makes money from. The code is fake, and he made a tweet saying the following.

This is a lie. It will say that the code is already redeemed. This is proof that he is fake, but there are still 327 gullible people who believe him. He is just making a profit of your gullibility.

Not only that, but let’s be honest. Pretend it did work. You getting free membership would mean that Club Penguin loses money. That means that they’ll need to lay-off more staff like they already have done so many times. Less staff equals less good content. Less good content equals less players. Less players equals Disney giving up on Club Penguin. Disney giving up on Club Penguin equals no Club Penguin. Do you really want that? Thought not.

What can get you free memberships is giveaways by trusted users, like the following. Giveaways are generally okay if you don’t need to click on random links etc. However, don’t fall into this scam of “free membership generators”.

Hey everyone,

It was recently confirmed that The Club Penguin Times newspaper would be published every two weeks instead of one. In this post, I’m going to be sharing my opinion about this decision by the Club Penguin team.

Firstly, Club Penguin have gone to massive weekly newspapers to small biweekly papers. The original newspapers took over forty hours a week to make because they were filled with content. Now it only takes eight. That’s a massive difference! This is an example of an old issue from the Club Penguin times.

There are three possible reasons why I think Club Penguin have decided to publish a newspaper once every second week.

1. Club Penguin doesn’t have enough time and staff to dedicate to designing newspapers (This was the reason why the original newspaper was scrapped).
2. They are running out of ideas for content. I mean, they are even making up questions (click here to read a post explaining this).
3. Not enough people read the newspaper.

However, what we need to ask ourselves is why people aren’t reading the newspaper. Is it because of a lack of interesting content? I think so.

Filling the newspaper with content isn’t too hard and time consuming. You could easily feature some fan art. I would also like to see puzzles, like in the old newspaper, except maybe players could earn a few coins for completing them. This would make more players read the paper. However, this isn’t all bad. There is this possible theory…though I doubt it’s true, as great as it would be if it was.

If the CP Times paper is published every two weeks, then Aunt Arctic will have more time for her EPF duties. More EPF content coming??!

A great post about the newspaper is one written by the person who made the tweet above. It was also a helpful source for the amount of time it took to create the newspaper. You can read the full post by clicking here.

Hey everyone, 

Disney is massive in the gaming industry. They make games varying from consoles (Disney Infinity) to mobile games for phones and tablets. Yet have you ever wondered why Disney doesn’t feature Club Penguin in the majority of their games, despite Disney claiming that Club Penguin is the #1 Virtual World? I sure have.

A big request from the Club Penguin Community is for a Disney Infinity Playset (Playsets are like worlds in which the player has to complete activities and challenges) to be released that is related to the game. Loads of players have been requesting this. In fact, at one point, Spike Hike even made a tweet announcing that something really huge was happening to Disney Infinity. You can read that post by clicking here, but I will still share some of the things he said about Disney Infinity in this post.

For you @DisneyInfinity fans, I have it on good authority that something really huge will be announced today. Stay tuned!

Lots of people asking for CP in @DisneyInfinity. No promises, but we're listening so the more who ask for it, the more likely it is.

These were tweets made over two years ago, yet there’s no sign of Club Penguin coming to Disney Infinity. Lots of people still hope for this idea. These are some images of potential characters to be bought to the game.

Moving on from Disney Infinity. Disney recently released a game called “Crossy Road”. In it, there are over a hundred Disney related characters. Unfortunately, not a single one of those are from our snowy island, which is a real shame. Hopefully they intend to release an update soon which will bring Club Penguin characters into the game.

Since the majority of the characters added are from Disney or Pixar films, it seems that Club Penguin will need to be a film to get the attention of Disney. The chances are that that won’t be happening anytime soon.

Although Club Penguin has been included into Disney Mix, Disney Mix isn’t a game. Only a few stickers were added, but at least that’s something! It shows that being the #1 Virtual World doesn’t mean much to Disney if they refuse to add the game into their own products.

Hey everyone,

Recently, a penguin called Pingping4069 received some concept art from a member of the Club Penguin team. She has kindly allowed me to feature it on Club Penguin Mountains. Here’s the image!

This looks really cool! However, I think this might somehow be related to something bigger. The first thing I thought when I saw this image was Star Wars, The design does kind of look like a droid if you look at it closing. But I also believe that this is related to Herbert.

A big source for my theories is Club Herbert. Have a look at the most recent image uploaded there.

Pretty much everyone, including myself thought that this was the Shrink Ray in Operation Doom! Although the art doesn’t match exactly with the blueprint, don’t forget that it’s only a concept. Also, take a look at the Shrink Ray pin. It’s not the same as the one on the blueprint as the pin is more simple.

However, imagine that the blue puffle’s head was like that asteroid (?) in the top of the blueprint. From there work your way down. It looks slightly like the blueprint, except for it’s only about a quarter of it. Talking about the head, look at the blue puffle’s head in the image.

There is a small purple dot by the puffle’s ears. Could these be headphones? The reason why I bring this up is because of another image that was posted on Club Herbert. Take a look at the bin on the left.

Why Herbert would throw headphones, I don’t know. Herbert has always hated the noise caused by penguins on the island. Next to that, are puffles. This leads me to think that Herbert might be planning something with these headphones and puffles, but that pair in particular didn’t work.

Could we be seeing a repeat of Operation Puffle, a party in 2013 where puffles were brainwashed by Herbert? Hopefully it won’t be the exact same, but I do hope that we get another EPF Operation soon. 

Stay sharp agents,

Hey everyone,

Yesterday, I was talking to MhX who pointed something shocking out. The thing is, Club Penguin has been lying to us for all these years. I’m going to investigate the truth, and in the end, I will say something that will change how I think of Club Penguin. But first, I’d like to give a massive thank you to MhX for pointing this out to me. 

Have you ever wondered why some of the questions in the newspaper seem so basic? I mean, the answer is pretty obvious, yet it’s still featured in the newspaper. I’m going to say it now, the newspaper submitting system is a fake. 

This means that Club Penguin makes up the questions and jokes they put in their newspaper, and pretend that a real penguin out there has said it. Here is the evidence. The first image is from the most recent newspaper and the second image is from a couple of issues before. This proves that the accounts were not deleted for inactivity.

Furthermore, MhX has coded several cheating programs, and he said this.

The only code in the file is to show “Thank You” after clicking “Submit”

So we’ve concluded that the newspaper submit form is fake. But that is the small part of the investigation. The bigger part, is the report form. MhX also told me that the report form is fake.

If the report system doesn’t work, then immediately a lot is explained. Each word that you are allowed to say is added to the filter. There is no list of words you can’t say. If it’s not on that list, it will be filtered. But say Club Penguin forgot to add a word. Surely someone could use the report feature and Club Penguin will add the word, right? Turns out that isn’t the case.

But now, Club Penguin Mountains can prove that the report system is fake. In 2014, any item could be added. I ended up getting banned from reporting myself. Just a day after adding the item, someone said that they reported me online. If I remember correctly, a few days go by, nothing happens. But then I email Club Penguin telling them that I cheated. (Don’t do this, it’s not a good idea.) The next day, I get banned forever.

If the report system online really doesn’t work, then Club Penguin really isn’t as safe as it seems. This is probably why they’ve taken so many precautions on the chat filter. To report someone, you need to e-mail or call them, and not many kids will have access to be able to do that. The report system is just something to make you feel more secure, but it’s probably fake. Not certainly.

Bye!
