Glitches and Changes

Yo Penguins!

Newspaper Glitch


Been wondering why I haven't done a Club Penguin Times (insert issue number)? Because the newspaper doesn't load. Click on the newspaper icon and a the loading bug appears. You can't even exit when you click the 'X'. You have to log off!

Card-Jitsu Glitch


When you play Card-Jitsu, there is a glitch! Your cards don't come up, there's no timer, NOTHING! Just you and your opponent in the waiting position.

It stays like this for the whole battle... until you eventually quit!

Club Penguin Fires Employees!

Just days after a major glitch caused a global shutdown of the Club Penguin website, the children's online community site is in the news again.

The Kelowna-based company has laid off an undisclosed number of employees.

"As part of our ongoing strategy to best position Disney Interactive Media Group for success in digital media, we continually evaluate and refine our business," company spokesperson Mariam Sughayer says in a brief e-mail statement.  

"As part of this process we are making targeted layoffs within the division." 

The decision didn't sit well with at least one employee of the company who moved to Kelowna for a job with the company.

"We came from Calgary a year ago and now we have no job.  Our daughter relocated here in grade 11, and now what to do for her graduating year?"

Club Penguin was started in Kelowna in 2005 and was purchased by Disney Online Studios in 2007 for $350 million.

Thanks to Castanet for that report.

This Is YOU!

Now on your player card there is an arrow pointing above your head. Charming.

And for my final trick, my wizard hat shall turn in to... a welcome hat?

If you couldn't tell by this pun heading, the wizard hat Penguins could receive at the Medieval Party 2011 has GONE! It has been replaced by the new 'welcome' hat. On that note, the new background for all penguins is different in the new intro. It's a snowy pine tree background, not a cloud background.

Gift Shop Curtains

When we go waddling towards the far back curtain in the Gift Shop, the curtain opens and we are shown the Gift Shop catalogue.

Create a Penguin Update

The whole 'Create a Penguin' process has been updated. Looks quite nice now! :D

Wow, what a time. Updates, glitches and changes. I need a lie-down.

CP IS BACK!!!

Hey Penguins!

Club Penguin is back after they forgot to renew the domain! WOOP! Rumours of Music Jam being extended are true. It will end on July 4. I got 1 week free membership and 10,000 free coins as an apology for the domain being down!

Club Penguin is... gone? UPDATE

Hello Penguins,

Ok, it's been over 24 hours since CP's domain has expired.

But, Club Penguin have confirmed they have the domain back! YAY! They admitted it had expired and now they have renewed it.

Looking on the bright side of things. QUICK! Get one week free membership and 10,000 free coins! If you tell them, as a "sorry" gift, they give you 1 week free membership and 10,000 free coins! That means if you pay monthly for your membership (like me!) you will get $1.50 USD off your next payment!

I think this is kind of nice. Your thoughts? Comment below! Other Penguins on different chat sites have demanded BETTER gifts as a "sorry" gift. One person even wanted every Penguin to have 6 months free membership! Mate, seriously. They are being kind with one week free membership and 10,000 free coins. JUST BE GLAD YOU'RE GETTING SOMETHING!!!

As I have said, CP have got the domain back but they are trying to get the site back online worldwide.

There are also rumours that Music Jam 2011 will go on for a longer period because of the delay.

Expect another update when Club Penguin have released an official blog post on clubpenguin.com
