Island Adventure is HERE!

Arrr Penguins!

Island Adventure Party Has Begun!


That be right me scurvy Peng'ins! The Island Adventure Par'y (Ok, I'll stop the accent...) has begun!

Firstly, the thing about crabs. Turns out it was for a game at the Hidden Lake where you could win a Commanders Coat. And a Blue Crab costume.

As for the quest, someone has stolen Rockhopper's cream soda! (Wow, how dramactic... :P)

Start at the Pizza Parlor. A whole guide might be heading it's way to this blog.

There are some new Postcards! Three in fact. 'Let's Explore', 'Rockhopper' and 'Follow Me!' are the three new Postcards.

A new Stamp has been released. It's a 'Music Maestro' stamp. You have to solve a musical puzzle at a party. Easy enough...

There are catalogues for you to look at which feature island-themed accessories.

Rockhopper has landed, if you were wondering.

Island Adventure is coming!

Hey-hey Penguins!

New Island Adventure YouTube Video


Happy77 released a sneak peek video of the Island Adventure 2011 party yesterday.

Everything seems to have been redecorated with an island or pirate theme.

There are lots of crabs. Hmm... I wonder...? *COUGH* QUEST *COUGH*.

Rockhopper is making his way!


Well, it seems the Flare Flinger 3000 (still wondering about that thing... was that a good idea... *COUGH* HERBERT *COUGH*... wow bad cough I have today... :P) has worked it's magic!

Rockhopper's ship has indeed been spotted through a telescope at the Beacon. However, notice how there are a lot of crabs in the video above. Is Rockhopper on that ship? (Probably.)

Island Adventure under construction!

Hello Penguins,

Firstly I apologize for not updating. There just hasn't been much on CP! Well, now there is!

Construction for Island Adventure


The construction for Island Adventure is well under way! You will see the making of the party at the Town, Beach, Cove and Plaza.

There seem to be a lot of trees involved. Perhaps a hint of a "foreign island lost in the woods" type party?

In particular, there is a 'Flare Flinger 3000' at the Beach. Wow. Flares? Yep, that's appropriate in a kid-friendly game... apparently to signal for Rockhopper. (Don't you think he needs a BREAK?! :P)

Better Igloos and Igloo Upgrades catalogues out


The new July 2011 editions of Better Igloos and Igloo Upgrades are out.

On the topic of igloos, there is new music for your igloos for the Island Adventure party.

New Gold Anchor Pin


There is a new pin called the Gold Anchor. You can get it at the Iceberg now!

Club Penguin confirms price rise in membership!

Hey Penguins,

Club Penguin has confirmed today that membership prices have risen. This is the first time CP membership costs have risen. Even back in 2005, membership prices were $5.95 (US $).

However, get a membership NOW. The prices will be changed on 13 July. The reason I say buy NOW is because if you have bought a membership before 13 July, the costs will stay the same (unless you cancel on or after 13 July and choose to renew on or after 13 July).

Here's a comparison:

Paying monthly:
OLD: $5.95
NEW: $7.95

Paying every 6 months:
OLD: $29.95
NEW: $39.95

Paying every 12 months (yearly):
OLD: $57.95
NEW: $59.95

These prices are ONLY for the USA and Canada. Everywhere else, the prices are the same. However, the message 'Prices subject to change' still appears beneath the prices for foreign (not USA or Canada) membership pages. For example, in the UK it is still £3.95.

Comment questions:

1. If you don't have a membership now, would you/your parents buy it now whilst it's still cheap?

2. If you don't have a membership, what option would you choose if you had to renew after 13 July?

3. Do you think CP will increase the prices for other places like UK, France etc.

Card-Jitsu Snow Tin Sneak Peek!

What up Penguins?

Card-Jitsu Snow Tin


That's right! We have Card-Jitsu Fire, Card-Jitsu Water... what's missing? Oh yeah! Card-Jitsu Snow!

Many Penguins have excitedly talked about Card-Jitsu Snow for some time and today, CP revealed a concept for the Card-Jitsu snow tin!

Notice the 'CONCEPT' watermark across the picture? That means it's subject to change! I think it may alter slightly. Card-Jitsu Snow tins will be able to buy in November and hopefully you will be able to play Card-Jitsu snow in November too.

Membership Prices To Change


On the topic of things which are subject to change. Take a look at the membership page.

Can you see what I've put a red ring around? It says 'Prices subject to change'. This means that prices for membership may go up or down soon. Probably up. It's not just here in the UK where it's £3.95. It says it for all currencies! Or maybe Disney knows something about the stock market (go ask your parents!)?

Music Jam 2011 - Was the Extension wrong?

Hello Penguins,

I am sure you are all aware of Music Jam. The CP event which is happening right now.

However, here's a debate. Was the extension wrong? Music Jam was meant to end on June 25. CP moved it to July 5.

Penguins seem to be getting fed up. You don't see any more Penguins flooding the Dock (ba-doom tsh), attempting to get backstage to meet Penguin Band or Cadence. The Rooftop is no longer busy.

What are your views? I know it's gonna end on July 5 anyway but should it have ended on June 25?

Club Penguin Mythbusters #2

Hey Penguins!

It's time for the second instalment in Club Penguin Mythbusters.

The Rainbow Puffle


The rumour: Penguins can buy Puffles on Club Penguin of different colours. However, many Penguins have claimed there is a rainbow-coloured Puffle called the (appropriately named) 'Rainbow Puffle'.
Testing: Laughpenguin was intrigued by this myth and popped along to the Pet Shop which is where you buy Puffles. He examines the Puffles in the 'Adopt a Puffle' section. He doesn't see a rainbow-coloured Puffle anywhere. Laughpenguin also examines the Puffle Catalogue. No sign of furniture for a 'Rainbow Puffle'.
Researching: After his trip to the Pet Shop, Laughpenguin wasn't convinced the Rainbow Puffle was real. However, he decided to look online for a Rainbow Puffle by typing it into Google Images and YouTube.
Here are three images Laughpenguin found of the 'Rainbow Puffle'.

 

Notice how they're all different? The videos on YouTube also show different ways to "get the Puffle". I would say the Rainbow Puffle might be real if there weren't so many image and "how to get" variations of the 'Puffle'.
Interview: Even though the myth is pretty much busted, we still like to interview Penguins and Club Penguin on their views.
First of all, an interview with the public.
Gatorgirl600: I like Puffles. I've heard of the Rainbow Puffle myth. I think it's fake.
Plum8796: I know some Club Penguin myths including the Rainbow Puffle one. I think it's half-real, half-fake. I think it's mood would be EVERY EMOTION!
Joony5: I own a red and a blue Puffle. I have never heard of any CP myths. Now I've been told the Rainbow Puffle rumour, I think it might be true. If it exists, I want one! It's a bit strange there hasn't been one in the Pet Shop.
Now an interview with a Club Penguin Support Team Member!

Hi Laughpenguin, 

Thanks for waddling by to share your thoughts with us! It's always brrr-illiant to hear from you! 

I understand that you're wondering about the mysterious rainbow puffle rumors. I haven't personally ever seen one. On the other flipper, that doesn't mean that they don't exist... 

If you could discover the elusive rainbow puffle what sorts of colors do you think it would be? Would the rainbow colors be striped or swirled through their fur? What sort of personality would it have? Where would they be found? 

We'd be really excited to hear your thoughts Laughpenguin! Be sure to write back to us again soon. 

Stay icy, 

[NAME REMOVED FOR PRIVACY REASONS] 
Club Penguin Support

Overall: The one thing about this myth which really busts it is the fact there are so many pictures showing different 'Rainbow Puffle's. Some with vertical rainbow stripes, some with horizontal rainbow stripes... that really does prove it isn't real. Quite a few Penguins think the Puffle is real and CP have stated in their response, "We'd be really excited to hear your thoughts Laughpenguin!" That means that the Rainbow Puffle is currently just an idea at Club Penguin HQ.

Decision: BUSTED.

Stay tuned for more CPM (Club Penguin Mythbusters)!

Hello Penguins!

Adventure Party this month - We're putting the finishing touches on this month's event... the Adventure Party! I won't say too much just yet, but I hear a certain pirate may be making an appearance...Clothing catalog and newspaper - We're doing some updates to our systems for the next few weeks, so the newspaper and this month's clothing catalog will be launching early next week instead of today. Don't worry, we'll let you know as soon as they're ready. 

Here's a sneak peek of the catalog:

CLICK THE CATALOGUE TO FLICK THROUGH IT! Sorry about it overlapping on to the sidebar... - Laughpenguin.

New free items - We're still sending out the two new items to everybody. It will take a few days for the new Red Hat or Blue Cloud background items to get to everyone's accounts.   Bugs squashed - We squashed a bunch of bugs last night, so you can play Card-Jitsu again. We also fixed a couple issues with DJ3K that were causing Flash Player to freeze. Thanks for letting us know about them and helping us make Club Penguin better for everyone!  New games - We've been working on a few new game prototypes. Thanks to those of you that beta tested Rollerscape and some of the other prototypes. You guys had some great feedback!
