Server Issue
Hello Penguins!
We just found out that one of our servers was having some issues with "activation codes" and "password requests" for a few hours today.
We apologize to those of you who tried to set up a new account and didn't get an activation code or if you requested a password and it didn't come through.
The problem is fixed now and so if your activation code wasn't working, try clicking on the link in the email again and it should work. If you requested a new password, please just send a new request and you will get a new email. Thanks again for your patience!
Until then... Waddle On!

NOW OPEN!!!
Hello Penguins!
I just wanted to let you know that the new online store is open for you to check out! Just make sure you "reload" or "refresh" the Club Penguin home page in order to see it.
Since we're just getting started the supplies are limited, so if you want something, I would suggest ordering it fairly quickly. We're working as fast as we can to get more.
Please let us know what else you would like to see added in the future. We've already got some more stuff we're working on, but we're always wanting to hear all of your great ideas!
In other news: I'm sure you're all as excited as we are about the new catalog that launches tomorrow. There were some hints in the newspaper today, which is why I didn't post any here in the blog. It's gonna be really cool!
Until then... Waddle On!

Coming Soon...
Hello Penguins!
Sorry for the silence the last few days, but I couldn't keep it secret any longer! We've been working hard on lots of new stuff for September, but this is definitely one of the coolest!
Puffles and other great stuff will be available on the website soon! I can't say exactly when, but hopefully this week!
There will be an official announcement with all the details in the near future, but like I said, I couldn't keep it secret any longer.
Until then... Waddle On!

New Puffle!
Hello Penguins!
As many of you know, the Purple Puffle is available in the pet shop tomorrow! I know a lot of you have been waiting for a long time, and I think the wait is worth it!
Hmm... wouldn't it be cool if you could own a puffle in real life?
Anyway, we hope you all enjoy this new addition to the Puffle family. Maybe you could throw a "Welcome Home" party in your igloo and have lots of fun showing off all of its new moves.
Until then... Waddle On!

Sneak Peek!
Hello Penguins!
I know that the sports theme for August is still in full gear and we hope you all enjoyed the party, but I wanted to give you a couple of sneak peeks into what we're working on for September.
September is going to be a big month for Club Penguin! I can't give you many details right now, but there will be new rooms, a brand new game, new igloos, new catalogs, a new way to decorate your penguin, and more!
Our team is also working on some cool new features for Club Penguin that a lot of you have been requesting (one of them involving your puffles) and a brand new log-in screen that will make signing in and choosing a server much quicker and easier.
I can't give many more details right now because its not even September yet, but I'll tell you more as soon as I can.
Until then... Waddle On!

Hotmail Update
Hello Penguins!
I just wanted to give all of you a quick update on the hotmail situation. After many long days of working with them and doing everything they asked, they finally admitted that the problem is with Hotmail and not us. It is a total bummer because we are not able to just fix it ourselves but we just have to wait for them to fix it. We are emailing them many times a day to try and keep them working on it.
From what we can tell, it is getting better, and some emails are getting through, but we won't stop until all of them are fixed!
In the mean time, I would recommend using a different email address like "Gmail" if you need to contact us.
We apologize to those of you who are affected by this and we will work as hard as we can to get them to fix it.
Until then... Waddle On!

PARTY IS EXTENDED!!!
Hello Penguins!
All weekend we've been getting requests to extend the party and when you ask, we listen! So we decided to extend the sports party until next weekend. I know some of you are already wondering, "so does that mean another free item?" Of course it does! Later this week we will begin handing it out, but I can't tell you right now what it is. I will say, we've been getting a lot of requests for this item too!
In other news: While we were fixing the server this weekend, we found some ways to speed it up. Hopefully you're all enjoying the new speed of the game. More news to come later this week (especially if you're a secret agent...)
Until then... Waddle On!

Server Glitch
Hello Penguins!
Club Penguin was down for a few hours today when one of our new servers had some problems. We are sorry to anyone who was trying to log on during this time. We think we have it all fixed now and hopefully it shouldn't happen again. Thanks to all of you who let us know when it happened, we were able to fix it a lot faster because of your help!
I guess the party just got a little too crazy! :)
Stay tuned for more party information coming tomorrow!
Until then... Waddle On!

Hockey Bug
Hello Penguins!
We just wanted to say we know about the hockey goal bug that is hurting the blue team. We're working hard on it and we will get it fixed as soon as we can. Thanks for your patience and sorry for the confusion.
Other than that, we hope you're enjoying the party!
Until then... Waddle On!

PARTY TIME!!
Hello Penguins!
I took this screenshot to give you all a sneak peek of just a few of the decorations for tomorrows party. We've been doing some testing and let me just say... ITS GONNA ROCK! Get your red or blue outfits ready and get ready to party! As always, there will be some free items for everyone, and the new hockey game will be ready! I hope to see you all there!
In other news, we're still working with Microsoft on "MSN" and "Hotmail" accounts. Microsoft is taking a long time on their end and its been tough, but we hope to have it working as soon as possible. If you need help, please email us using a different email account and we'll be able to help you. We apologize again to anyone who's having trouble. If we could do more, we would, but we have to wait on Microsoft for this one.
Until then... Waddle On!

ATTENTION HOTMAIL USERS
Microsoft made a change to their system that makes us unable to send email to hotmail accounts. We are working as fast as possible with Microsoft to fix this problem.
We apologize to anyone that is affected by this.

New Catalog!
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!
