REST IN PEACE CLUB PENGUIN

tybalt_cake · Mar 28, 2017

Originally called as "Experimental Penguins" in July 2000 and changed to Club Penguin in October 2005 , and being buyed by Disney in 2008 , Club penguin was a site where you could create a virtual penguin and interact with other players , play games , earn coins to buy clothes , decorate your igloo (house) , and be part of the occasional events Club Penguin Mods would do (Such as the typical ones like Christmas , Halloween . Other ones from Club Penguin as "Music Jam" and other events based on Disney stuff).

After 2008 , Club Penguin was buyed by The Walt Disney Company , which in my opinion , ruined some part of Club Penguin , especially after 2012 , where everything was just Disney events (http://www.clubpenguin.com/company/news-media/walt-disney-company-acquires-club-penguin) , however , this didn't stopped for many users to join Club Penguin.

However , everything changed when on February , Club Penguin announced it was closing this March 29th 2017 , due to their new mobile game.

Today , its his last day.

What are your thoughts on this? Did you used to play Club Penguin? Do you have memories of it?

Personally , I , find this shameful . Not only selling themselfs to Disney and doing only Disney events on Club Penguin after 2012 (Because 2008 - 2011 was somewhat okay) , however , them closing a project that was surely a dream just to go to mobile devices . Shame on you , Club Penguin , its a shame to see moderators and infact , everyone who worked on Club Penguin to see them this low. And even if i dont play this thing since 2012 , it was somewhat part of my childhood.

REST IN PEACE

October 24th 2005 -- March 29th 2017

I used to play Club Penguin religiously, it was a huge part of my childhood. Me and my brother would always look forward to our dad buying us a Club Penguin membership card. It was our treat for being (mostly) good kids

I have great memories of it and I'm deeply upset that it's days are finally over.

Goodnight, sweet prince....

I never played it, didn't have a reason to. The only one of those games I ever played was Webkinz and Adventure Quest Worlds(Which was pretty decent from what I remember). Cancelling something to go mobile is really stupid though. I don't see why keeping it would be such an issue. I don't know, it's all dumb but it doesn't really affect me.

Aren't they gonna be releasing a new game that looks similar to Club Penguin?
