After a fortnight, I changed the name of my website to a seemingly short name rather than the 30-character-long name I had begun with. This was a fresh start and I had decided that I would not be putting up any plagarised content on it. On 10th October in 2013, I launched my new Club Penguin fan site. I finally deleted that domain and decided to start afresh in October of 2013. I decided to start my own Club Penguin fan site post this episode and made terrible mistakes for the first few months by starting out on a terrible web-hosting service and plagiarising content from other fan sites. This did not please my friend when he learn about it and so he fired me from my co-author post… and I very much deserved it. For me, it was only a means to an end and so most of my work on his beautiful site was plagiarised. Since, Club Penguin updated every Thursday, we were supposed to make a walkthrough posts of all the updates on the Island in multiple articles from Thursday to Saturday. It was amazing how my sixth grader friend had learnt HTML all on his own to design his website and it was only my diffidence that took me so long to ask him for an opportunity to work with him.Īnd he said YES! But turns out I was very incompetent for blogging at that time. All this seemed very exciting to a twelve-year-old me. Source: Club Penguin Dimension (A Site when school friend had co-founded)įor privacy issues, I will not be disclosing my friend’s name but it turned out this talented friend of mine wasn’t just a Club Penguin player but also a blogger who was co-authoring a Club Penguin fan site and had one of his own blog for it too. (Psst… you could also become a secret agent by enrolling in EPF - The Elite Penguin Force) There was everything to keep you playing the game for hours: Club Penguin Times (The weekly Island Newspaper), Puffles (Pets for Penguins), Mini-Games(Pizzatron 3000, Card-Jitsu, Ice-Fishing, Cart-Surfing etc), decorative igloos (your home on the Island),and mascots that you could meet during certain events and earn pins. There would be updates to the Island almost every Thursday with new parties and events every month or so. It was an Island filled with penguins (the users) and penguin-styled town designed by the creators. Though, I was not present on that particular day when the servers went off, I did feel dejected, like many thousand of fans worldwide, as I had a sweet memorable time playing this game since 2013.Ĭlub Penguin was a Multiplayer-Online game with multiple servers for its millions of players all over the world. On 29th March 2017, Disney’s Club Penguin servers went offline, 2 months after their excruciating announcement in January about the game being discontinued.
