Happy Halloween!
Hello Penguins!
Well, as you can see, this is turning out to be one of Club Penguin's biggest parties ever! We hope you're all enjoying it so far. We worked really hard to make sure almost every room was decorated for this huge party! We would love to know what part is your favorite!
Also, we apologize if things run a bit slower this weekend. With all the new rooms and all the new players, our servers are working hard to keep up. Thanks for your patience and keep trying, it'll be worth it!
We'll have more news next week about a new game!
Until then... Waddle On!

Night Time in Club Penguin?
Hello Penguins!
We're really busy this week gearing up for the upcoming parties and working on other top secret stuff, but I wanted to give you all the scoop on something I saw today. Apparently during the week of the Halloween Party, all of Club Penguin will be transformed into night time. More information will be available in tomorrows paper, but from what I saw today, its going to look really cool!
Anyway, I'll try to post more info in the coming days.
Until then... Waddle On!

Ahoy Mateys!
Hello Penguins!
Well, it's finally arrived! Captain Rockhopper has been out at sea for quite a while, but he's finally returned so we can see some of the cool things he's found while he was away.
I hope you're all enjoying this first phase of the pirate ship. That's right, we've got lots of cool stuff planned for future visits of the ship including new parts of the ship and possibly a game! I can't reveal any more, but for now, enjoy!
More updates in a few days...
Until then... Waddle On!

Filter Glitch
Hello Penguins!
Yesterday we were updating our filters and they were accidentally turned on to block everything. This affected joining, chatting, and naming puffles. We are very sorry if you were affected by this. We fixed it as soon as we could and everything should be back to normal now. Thanks again for your patience with this. It shouldn't happen again.
Also, the email issues are almost fixed. We heard from AOL this morning that everything should be back to normal in a few days. We are going to keep working hard on this until they fix it once and for all. If you've tried to join or had friends who tried to join, please tell them to try again every few days until they get their activation email.
In other news: The ship continues to get closer. I can't give you many details right now, but I hope to have more soon...
Until then... Waddle On!

New Catalog!!
Hello Penguins!
We'll October is officially off to a great start with the new clothing catalog. We've already seen a lot of clowns and super hero's running around town in what is shaping up to be a very exciting month!
We hope you're all enjoying the first part of the catalog and yes, there is more coming. How much more? You'll have to wait and see, but I'm sure you'll love it!
In other news... We upgraded some settings on our servers this afternoon which should speed things up for everyone! For about an hour during the update, Club Penguin was really slow, so we are sorry if you were trying to log in during that time, but hopefully the new speed is worth it! We're always working hard to make the Club Penguin experience even better!
More news to come next week regarding the mysterious ship on the horizon...
Until then... Waddle On!

Email Issues
Hello Penguins!
We found out that some Hotmail and AOL email users aren't able to receive our emails again or they are taking a very long time. Unfortunately these are issues with Hotmail and AOL and not our system, but we are working with them to get it fixed as quickly as possible. We think we've found a solution to fix this issue once and for all, but it might take a little time.
Also, we found out that the puffle walking is slowing some servers down a bit. To make up for that, we are adding 10 more servers and optimizing them so hopefully it shouldn't cause any more slowdowns.
Thanks for your patience as we work hard to fix these issues!
Until then... Waddle On!
