Shhh! Secret Agent Stuff!
Hello Penguins!
This week we will be launching some upgrades to one of the coolest parts of Club Penguin... The Agency.
I can't say too much or I'll get in trouble, but Agents should check out the HQ later this week to see what's been added, and get some hints about new stuff that will be coming in the future.
Please don't ask for more information because I am not allowed to say any more than that.
If you are not an agent yet, you can take the quiz by clicking on the "M" in the top right corner of the screen and then look for and press the secret button. Remember, your penguin must be at least 30 days old to apply, so if you're brand new, don't worry, you won't miss out, just join when you can.
In other news: We're putting the finishing touches on next months AWESOME party and all the furniture and clothing to go with it so saddle up because you won't want to miss out. Check out Thursdays paper for more information. And yes, there will be new free items for everyone at the party.
Until then... Waddle On!

More Bugs Squashed
Hello Penguins!
For the last few weeks, not only have we been working hard on the new free party items, but we have also been working hard on squashing some bugs.
Here's a small list of just some of the bugs we've squashed lately:
- Ballistic Biscuit- Sometimes if a player ended the game early, the loading screen would just sit there.
- Secret Agent Bug - Some people were not getting their spy phones, please try again, it should be fixed now.
- Slow Lost Password / Activation Emails - This should be faster now that we upgraded the server, we're still working to keep making it easier and faster.
- Igloo Upgrades - There were some issues with igloo upgrades and furniture that should be fixed now.
- Penguin Stuck in Igloo - This one is tricky, but we think we might have found a fix that should remove anyone stuck in your igloo for more than an hour. Please let us know if you still have the same penguins stuck in your igloo for days so we can keep working on it.
In other news: We hope you all enjoy the new free party items launched today! We've got lots of other cool stuff we're working on like next months ALL NEW party and of course we're always working on new games, new rooms, and new features for you all to enjoy!
Until then... Waddle On!

Buying Bug Was Squashed!
Hello Penguins!
We just wanted to keep you up to date on a bug we had yesterday.
It turns out our database had a hiccup which was keeping people from buying items from the catalog for about 4 hours yesterday. This bug made it look like you were buying something and the coins were removed, but then when you logged back in, the items weren't there and the coins were put back.
We figured out what was wrong and fixed it as fast as we could.
There have been some rumors out there that this was a virus or a hack. I can assure you it was not, it was simply a database setting that needed to be changed.
We apologize to all of you who were affected by this bug and we thank you for your patience. We know it was frustrating and we have hopefully fixed it so it shouldn't happen again.
In other news: We hope you're all enjoying the party and we can't wait to launch this weeks new free party items. They will be released later in the week.
Until then... Waddle On!

It's Party Time!!
Hello Penguins!
As you can see, Club Penguin has been transformed into the biggest beach party ever! Penguins everywhere are doing the hula, swimming in the Night Club, and wrestling with a giant octopus in the Dojo.
We had a lot of fun putting this party together and we hope everyone has a blast!
In other news: There are two free items out right now, but there will be more added next week as the party continues! Sorry, I can't tell you what they are, or when they'll be launched, but I'm sure you're gonna love them!
Until then... Waddle AND Party On!

Lots of Penguins!!
Hello Penguins!
It just so happens that today is quickly becoming one of the busiest days ever in Club Penguin history! The good news is that there are even more penguins to make friends with. The bad news is that the servers are pretty full.
We are in the process of building new servers for the party, but they won't be ready to be launched until next week. Until then, here are some tips for dealing with busy servers:
- Look for the server with the least people in it.
- The fewer people, the faster it runs.
- If one country is full, you can try a different country. (you might meet some new buddies)
We hope this helps and thank you all for your patience, the new servers will be online as quickly as possible.
Until then... Waddle On!

Sneak Peek!
Hello Penguins!
We decided to give you all a sneak peek of just one of the rooms that is being completely redecorated for the party next weekend. Don't worry, this is not the new beach, that is still coming, this is what the docks will look like.
Many of you have been asking "where is the party?" Like all of our biggest parties, it will be held throughout the entire map! Lots of the areas will be decorated for the party, so you can party where ever you and your friends want to!
Thanks again to those of you who are still giving Club Penguin tours to the new players, we totally appreciate it and it is a great way to help out. Don't forget, if you want to give a tour, just go into a room and shout "Who wants a TOUR?" Most of the time, new penguins will be happy to follow you around and learn more.
In other news: Rsnail and the team are working hard on fixing some of those pesky bugs that have been driving all of us a little nutty. The first priority is the "people in my igloo" bug. It has been a tough one to squash, but we won't rest until its done.
Until then... Waddle On!

New Catalog!
Hello Penguins!
Today we launched one of the coolest new catalogs ever! We've had many of you requesting these items for a long time so as always, you spoke and we listened!
We hope you get all your outfit combinations figured out for the big summer party!
If you're not a member yet, don't worry, there will be a free summer item at the party for everyone!
In other news: The new mine game is coming along well. We have worked non-stop this week rebuilding it from the ground up to make it not only work better, but be even more fun. As stated in the newspaper, we plan to launch it early next week. Thanks again for your patience, it will be like no other game that Club Penguin has ever seen, and we're sure you're going to love it!
