Sorry for the Delay of Game
Hello Penguins!Unfortunately, these game bugs look like their taking longer than we thought. Our team is going to work 24 hours a day until this game is launched.
We don't like delays any more than you do, but we feel like if we launch the game with bugs, it will lower the quality of Club Penguin and no one wants to see that happen.
Please help us by spreading the news and encouraging other players to be patient.
Once again, the whole staff of Club Penguin apologizes, and we're going to work non-stop until its launched.
In the mean time, we're going to launch a new secret room we had planned as a surprise to make up for the delay.
Thanks again for your patience!
Until then... Waddle On!

Server Updates & Underground!
Hello Penguins,Today we were able to finish up the last of the major server upgrades. Some of you may have noticed some issues around 6-8am Pacific Time (2-4pm in Europe). We apologize if you had some difficulties playing during that time, but the game should run quite a bit faster for most penguins after this. We are sure its going to be worth it.
Also, there are more hints than ever about "The Underground" in this weeks paper. The finishing touches are being added right now and it will be open to everyone on Monday! Thanks again for your patience, we've worked hard on this cool new area of Club Penguin and we're sure you're gonna love it!
Until then... Waddle On!

Time to Party!
Hello Penguins!
Today we launched some cool new stuff for your igloo as well as a brand new feature in Club Penguin... Post Cards! A lot of penguins have already begun using them to make new friends and say hi to old ones. Its also a great way to challenge someone to your favorite game! If you'd like a different one, don't worry, we'll be adding more. Better yet, give us some ideas of what you'd like us to add.
Igloo music was also launched today which will make those igloo parties even better. We've been working on it for a while now so its great to finally see all you penguins enjoying it. Give a big thanks to rsnail for getting that one rolling!
In other news: We were able to get some of the server upgrades done this week, and we decided to do even more which should be completed by early next week. After that's done, you should all notice a good speed increase to Club Penguin. Thanks for your patience!
Until then... Waddle On!

P.S. The Underground is almost here. The construction penguins are just adding the finishing touches. The wait is almost over!

More new stuff coming (including faster servers!)
Hello Penguins!We've been very busy this week putting the finishing touches on the new party igloo furniture, post cards, this months new game, and oh yea... the underground. You've all been very patient, but don't worry, the underground is just a few weeks away! (by the way, there is a hint to the new game in this weeks newspaper, I'll let you try to figure it out!)
In other news: We've been noticing the world slowing down a bit lately which means we need to add some faster servers to keep it all running as fast as possible. We have ordered them and you should see things speed up again next week once their up and running. Thanks for your patience with the slowdowns, we're working as fast as possible to get things back up to speed.
Until then... Waddle On!

New Catalog! (and other new stuff)
Hello Penguins!
We'll we've been very busy the last few days working on some very cool stuff. As you can see, the new catalog was launched today with a brand new feature open to everyone... Player Card Backgrounds! We will continue to add more backgrounds in the future, but for now there should be something for everyone.
Some of you may have also noticed that we brought back a few items from the past. We will continue to add new times and bring back old ones every month so keep checking it. Speaking of new items, because of all the construction going on in the caves, we hid a fun secret item that some of you might remember from the past. Enjoy!
In other news: We've got some cool community stuff coming up this month like the post cards, new igloo party supplies (including a brand new igloo party feature many of you have been asking for), new igloos, new furniture, new pet accessories, a brand new game, oh yea and little something called the underground that keeps getting better everyday! We'll keep you posted on when that will be launching later this month.
Until then... Waddle On!

P.S. A big thank you to those of you still giving tours. We keep getting reports from happy penguins who are going on tours and learning their way around Club Penguin. Keep up the good work!
