Happy New Year!

Hello, everyone!

Gee, it’s certainly been a while. If you read this blog frequently, I would like to apologise for the fact that only 2 posts were made in December. I did say that I was going to review the desktop version of Club Penguin Island and the Holiday Party. Next time, I shouldn’t say things I won’t keep up with.

On the other hand, I just want to sum up that the open beta of PC/Mac Club Penguin Island has been really positive! To start with, there were some significant bugs such as being invisible to other players but that was all fixed in a patched update. Now, I’d say Club Penguin Island works really well on PC and Mac devices so I would like to give a huge thank you to the Club Penguin Island team for a successful milestone. I still think some features can be optimised for PC and Mac but we may discuss this topic in another post.

The Holiday Party was much better than the Halloween Party. The Halloween Party lacked quests and was highly repetitive, but this party delivered more. The decorations are fantastic! The snowfall makes it so much better too. The festivities were not as grand as I was expecting them to be since they were hardly anything new at all. But, it kept the community engaged as there were prizes to be won throughout the month. I think the system was automatic, but the actual Coins For Change counter was genuine. Did you know that our community has donated over 30 million virtual coins so far? How amazing is that?

I have to give credit to the team for the cutscenes they added with each new festivity. It was epic to see Herbert return with Klutzy and it gave the party more depth. I think this is what distinguishes it from just an “event”.

Overall, the 1.8 update has been successful and I think this puts Club Penguin Island in a good position for this year…

Oh yeah, it’s now 2018!

Happy new year, everyone! 2018 could be a great year for Club Penguin Island. In March, we will be celebrating the 1 year anniversary of the game (it has definitely come a long way since March 29th). I’m sure there will at least be an event for the anniversary although we have the Club Penguin Reunion and So Long CP to look forward to as well! March is going to be a crazy month!

Speaking of the new year, have you made any resolutions yet? One of mine is to learn the piano properly. I don’t know how to read sheet music nor do I know all the basics, but I would love to by the end of this year! If you have any resolutions you would like to share, please leave them down in the comments section below.

As for Club Penguin Summit, I am hoping it will grow a lot more in the community. Our vision is to keep the community happy and unite everyone on one site. This year, I would love to assemble a team of bloggers who can keep this blog active. For quite a lot of this year, I am going to be busy with other projects. So Long CP is one of them, but I have a few more behind the scenes! If you are interested in joining our team, please visit the Vacancies page and fill out the form (there is an eligibility criterion).

Thank you, as always, for reading at Club Penguin Summit and we hope you have a joyous 2018.

Waddle on!
