Features ready to launch!
By BillyBob on July 7, 2008 8:01 PMHello Penguins!
The team is ready to launch the new features we've been talking about. They are in the last stages of testing and plan to launch later this week! You'll be the first to know as soon as I hear the exact day!
When the features launch your help will be needed to login to Club Penguin, try everything out and, of course, to tell us what you think. If you find anything that's not working, be sure to let us know.
Here's a summary of the features we've been talking about and what will be launched:
- New server selection (recommended servers and buddies easier to find)
- Igloo background!
- Penguin Mail (sending and receiving postcards improved)
- Player Card update (sorting items by category)
Thanks for all your great feedback so far--it's been a huge help as we've been working on these features! Keep it coming!
Until then... waddle on!

Penguin Mail design update
By BillyBob on July 3, 2008 11:32 PMHello Penguins!
Penguin Mail is ALMOST ready to launch, but before it does, we wanted to get your feedback on it. Below is a image of what it will look like. After our first post about Penguin Mail a few weeks ago we got a bunch of creative comments about designs and ways to make postcards even cooler than they are now. Many of you like the logo we posted on that blog, but asked to see more of the actual design.
Here's one view of the new Penguin Mail:
You'll definitely get the full picture when the feature launches this month--even as early as next week.This 'mailbox' will allow you to send mail to your buddies even when they're not online, save postcards, ignore postcards and delete them too. The coolest part to me is that whenever I'm in Club Penguin and receive a postcard, Penguin Mail will let me know! That way I won't miss any cool cards from other penguins!
No matter where you are in Club Penguin, you'll always be able to check your mail by clicking on the grey envelope at the top left of your screen.
As always, let us know what you think and definitely what you would like to see added in the future!
Until then...waddle on!

Player Card changes
By BillyBob on July 1, 2008 11:26 PMHello Penguins!
I mentioned last week that we have been working hard on fixing some bugs and listening to your comments. As a result, we've made some changes...
The first change was with the new player card. We heard a lot of great feedback after our last post about the player card and one major concern was not having a quick view when putting your outfits together. So we went back to the drawing board and fixed it. Here's a design of what it will look like.
We wanted to make sure you could still sort all your items by category (like the current furniture inventory) but also view everything together. And it was really important to make sure you could view the items on your penguin as soon as you selected them.
The new design definitely allows for that, and we kept the 'clear outfit' button!
I heard today that the team hopes to have the features ready to launch in a couple weeks. You know what that means! As soon as they launch, and you have a chance to check them out be sure to let us know how it all works!
Until then...waddle on!
