Hey all,
Looks like the updates are out, I’ve still to log on and check them, but while I do that, here’s the post from the CP Blog:
“Hello Penguins!
Great news!! The features have launched! Thanks to all of you for your help, patience and involvement in this project!
Be sure to let us know what you like and even what you think should be changed.
I’m really excited about Penguin Mail and wanted to remind everyone to check their mailboxes as soon as they have the chance. You can view your mailbox by clicking the envelope on the top left of your screen. And be sure to check it often because now buddies can send you mail even when you’re not online which means you’ll probably have mail waiting for you!! Plus you never know who you might get a postcard from!
Here’s a quick list of features to look for:
- Server selection (this one you’ll notice when you’re logging into Club Penguin!)
- Penguin Mail (click the envelope on the top left screen to try it out)
- Player Card redesign (check out the sorting function!)
- Igloo background (This one just looks really cool!)
There’s a lot of smaller stuff too–can you find some of it? I’ll post a more detailed list later this week!
As with anything new like this, there will probably be some bugs and as always, the team will not stop working on it until they’re all squashed.
A couple quick notes:
- Your penguin name and password will need to be re-entered when you login for the first time with the new features. If you can’t remember your password, just click the Forgot Password link below the login. A new password will be sent to the email you used to create your penguin account.
- You need to have Flash Player 9 installed on your computer in order to play Club Penguin.
As always, let us know what you think!
Until then… waddle on!”
Cool ehe? Well I’m checking the new updates now, but just out of curiosity, is your /load.swf Club Penguin site working? Mine just says it’s ‘a wrong turn and to go back’. Pshh.
Oooh, The log in screen is crazyy!! I’m not sure I like it though…the old one with countries was better.
Penguin mail is out too! And lookie, there is a free item! Coolness, here’s a pic:
Not bad, is it? To get the blue bag, you need to have had an account before the updates and you need to click the blue bag.
There are also a whole heap of new post cards, I’ll list them. They all still cost $10. Some of them also have the same message, with new pics:
The only thing that annoys me about this is that they switched the icon’s for buddy requests with the one for post cards, so I keep thinking I have buddies. :O
Now, the playercards. They’re pretty cool too! When you click on a penguin to see its playercard, it goes from being blank and then their clothes, background etc. fade in. Pretty neat! Here’s a pic:
Now, to the igloo background! Wow, they’ve made some real updates in the igloos! Here’s a picture of what I saw when I fist walked in:
They’ve added a spy phone! LOL. Also, notice the tree’s in the background? Cool ehe? That changes when your editing, here, have a look:
When you edit your igloo now, you need to click the little disk down the bottom on the left to save it. Also, the background looks like writing paper! 
Maybe in the future we will be able to buy different igloo backgrounds?
They also changed the way we look at the igloo’s that have been opened. It reminds me of Neopets really, here’s a pic:
I’ve got to go get dinner now, I’ll try finish updating tonight.

Update: [3 Hours Later...]
Mmm, dinner. 
Well, strange things are going on in Club Penguin. I logged onto my non-member account, and first I read on the penguin forums that apparently you get some mailI notice when you adopt a new puffle. So I figure, why not check it out. I get one, name it Moo Moo (Don’t ask) and then I see that there is no penguin mail envelope at the top of the page. Weird huh? Bug I suppose…so I go to my igloo, and guess what? The puffle isn’t there! This is soo annoying! I’m going to email them….lol. 
Anyway, thanks Josh for the link to the new .swf website, it’s in my blogroll on the side bar if you need it.
Here’s a few other new things I’ve noticed:
-
The green puffle, known as the keeper, has moved over to the Ice Rink. He’s hogging the puck, so now no one can play hockey! Gosh! I don’t know what’s going on - but it’s sure to be in the paper tomorrow - but no hockey playing for a while, I guess.
-
They have slightly changed the font around. It looks weird.
-
They have changed the words that come up when rooms are loading. E.g. Loading Igloo. I know, not important, but it is a change isn’t it?
Oh my! Now the playercards aren’t working! I can add items to my penguin, but I can’t see them on the playercard, nor can I see other penguin’s player cards - they just come up with a blank penguin.
Guess these updates are rather glitchy aren’t they? Well, no wonder a whole heap of people don’t like them. Me, personally, think they are ‘ok’. Some are good, some, are well….bothersome.
Another strange thing I’ve noticed going on is that a whole heap of penguins will be stuck in one spot, mainly the place where you enter the room. It’s really strange! It’s not a famous penguin crowd either, because they just stand there…no moving. GLITCH ALERT!!! *sirens - wooo, wooo*
Other than this news, there is a CP ds game coming out! Weird huh? Here’s the post from the CP Blog:
“Hello penguins!
I am very excited to be the first to let you know about a very special project we’ve been working on!
Ever since Club Penguin was launched, many of you have been asking and talking about a DS game and we’ve been listening. Here’s a bit of what you can look forward to:
I can’t get into too much detail but you might be wondering about the name ‘Elite Penguin Force’. In the DS game you take on a special role as part of the Elite Penguin Force and solve mysteries that even Secret Agents don’t know about!
That’s just the start! You’ll also be able to play some of your favorite mini games and earn coins and other rewards that can be uploaded into your Penguin account!
I’ll have more info in the coming months. We’re hoping to have the game done by this holiday season so you’ll only have to wait a few more months!
As always let us know what you think.
Until then…waddle on!
-The Club Penguin Team”
Coolness. I’ve got a ds, but I don’t know if I will buy it. It would mean I would need to get WiFi, which I have been wanting, but haven’t got around to getting. I wonder what sort of ‘rewards’ are in store?
ZOMG. I noticed a new thing in the ‘help’ section of the Club Penguin site. Here’s what it says.
“Parent accounts are a fantastic way for you, the parent, to be involved with your child’s experience in Club Penguin. Some of the features available with a parent account are:
- Change chat privileges from Standard Safe Chat to Ultimate Safe Chat
- Change penguin password
- View detailed payment, ban, and connection history
- Find out when your penguin account will expire
- Coming soon! - Control the amount of time your child plays Club Penguin in a day. “
Not that my parents would use it, or care, or know about it. But it may be of intrest to some of you… 
In normal news, I saw the movie Mamma Mia today. It was super corny, but funny none the less. My favourite character was Harry, but there was a terrible plot twist that was soo annoying, it’s (Highlight it with your mouse to see, but be warned, it’s a spoiler!!): He was gay! Ahh, not that he was hot or anything…but still, AHH!
And I’m going to Disney on Ice tomorrow! Yay! I know it’s a kids thing, but it’s fun so who cares?
Tell me what you think of all this news, and this very very super long post…I’ll stop now…although it’s a little to far past it to say ‘I should quit while I’m ahead.’

I’m not sure what they sound like because Igloo Music is only available to paying members.
