Server Upgrade!
Hello Penguins!I just wanted to let you know that later today we will be making another big leap into our new servers. The sad thing is that we will need to shut down Club Penguin for a few hours starting at 10pm pacific time. (see other time zones below) If you try to log on during that time, you will see a message asking you to try again later. We plan to only be down for a couple of hours, maybe sooner.
We apologize to anyone who is affected by this and we thank you all for your patience as we work hard to make Club Penguin better for everyone!
Until then... Waddle On!

Where Have You Been?
Hello Penguins!Billybob here, back and better than ever. Sorry for not posing the last week, but I finally listened to all your advise and took some time off for a little rest and relaxation. I apologize for not being able to update the news, but now things will be back to normal.
We've got so much cool stuff on the go, I don't know where to begin to talk about it! As always, there is a lot I can't talk about, but let me just say that if any of you are into sports, August is going to be a great month, not only because of Club Penguins first ever sports themed party, but because Club Penguins next multiplayer game is something we've all been waiting for.
I can't say anything else, other than the fact that ice has never been so much fun!
We've got more updates I'll talk about soon including our continuing work on upgrading the servers and speeding up Club Penguin and other new features, parties, games, rooms, and MORE!!
Until then... Waddle On!

The Hunt!
Hello Penguins!I can't say a lot about the scavenger hunt, but I will tell you what I can.
- It will begin next Friday, the 21st, and will be available for everyone to play.
- Just like the Easter egg hunt, it will only be happening for a limited time.
- There will be a prize at the end that everyone who completes it will win.
- There is a clue in this weeks paper.
I am sorry, but I can't reveal any more than that right now.
Have fun at the party this weekend, we hope you all have a great time!
Until then... Waddle On!

Upgrading Server
Hello Penguins!We had to upgrade a server yesterday which caused some issues we didn't plan on. We apologize to anyone who wasn't able to log in during that time, but hopefully everyone is enjoying the little bit of speed boost.
We'll be upgrading almost all of our servers over the next few weeks to make the game even faster! It may cause some issues at times, but hopefully you feel its worth it to make the game even better.
In other news: I'll be posting some more info tomorrow on the upcoming scavenger hunt! It's going be cool. For those of you who were at the Easter party, you know what I mean!
Until then... Waddle On!

The Wild West!
Hello Penguins!
I wanted to give you all a sneak peek at some stuff in clothing catalog that will be launched tomorrow. I'm a big sports fan, so this is one of my favorite catalogs yet. The cool thing is that we've got more new items than we've ever had before!
Besides the party next week (which will totally rock!), there's other "secret" stuff that should be coming out later this month that we've been working on that will be brand new to Club Penguin, but I can't really talk about that yet. It's too secret! :)
On top of all of that, we're almost done upgrading all the servers (yea!). There are a few more changes that we are doing that will keep speeding things up. But most of the tough work is done. That also means more time for new games and new features!
Also, not to sound too cheesy, but we can add a lot of cool stuff to Club Penguin, but you all are what make it great! Thanks for playing, and for always working to keep Club Penguin fun and safe!
Until then... Waddle On!
