What's New?
It's been busy here at Club Penguin HQ! For the last few months, we've dedicated a lot of the Club Penguin team to make the experience faster, and to squash some big bugs that were getting in the way.

- Faster loading: One of the things we've heard is that you want to log on to Club Penguin faster. We're listening, and have been working on a bunch of improvements... everything from room and game speed to server upgrades.
- Blue screen bug: Some of you were getting disconnected while seeing a blue loading screen. Guess what? The team squashed this pesky bug!! Thanks for being so patient.
- Small screen trick: Did you figure out this trick yet? Now you can switch between Small Screen and Big Screen without logging off!



I like to save coins by being a tour guide and secret agent! It feels good because those jobs mean helping penguins and the money I get from them helps even more people world wide! I also like playing games like connect four and mancala because I get to meet all kinds of new friends and that means not only am I earning money to donate, but the person I'm playing with is too!

Greetings Penguins!
Happy77 here with another Reviewed by You post! Last time I asked you to tell us about your favorite igloo item of all time. 10000Cookies picked one of my personal favorites:
It's so hard to choose since I like all items! But, my all time favorite would be the Box-Portal! It's totally AWESOME and I hope it'll be back on April 2012! Seriously, how cool is it to travel to another dimension!? And when minutes have look like: :30 or :00 and you're there, you get to see the orange puffle pop out of the box! It's sooo kooky and you get to meet Rookie there if you're lucky! Waddle on, Club Penguin! You rock!
Waddle on, 10000Cookies. You rock, too. :)

Hello Penguins!
Since we've launched a new ninja game each year, many of you have been wondering when we will launch Card-Jitsu Snow.
The team is still working hard on creating a great Snow experience, but unfortunately it's not going to be ready for a while. We don't want to launch it until it's the best it can be. So, we've decided to do something different for ninjas this year, and we think you'll love it. There are some BIG surprises in store...
- We're releasing a huge new Card-Jitsu Party. For the very first time, we're decorating almost the whole island with a ninja look!
- There will be new decorations, new items, new Stamps and new rooms available only at the party!
- For the first time, penguins with free accounts will be able to play Card-Jitsu Fire and Water during the party!!
- We also have a BIG surprise for those who are able to earn their Fire Suit or Water Suit.

As always, let us know your thoughts by leaving a comment. We love hearing from you!
Until then... Waddle On!

Happy77 here. It's Reviewed by You time again! Last time I asked what your favorite game to play with your puffles was. Ubatha said:
Now for our next Reviewed by You... As you know, we just released new igloo and furniture catalogs. It got me thinking... What's your favorite igloo item of all time, and what do you like best about it? Share your thoughts in the comments below!
Happy77 here. Hope everyone's having a Happy Halloween! The team's been busy catching bugs and ghosts while munching on candy at the office today. ;)
Remember our last Reviewed by You blog, where Billybob asked you to describe the weirdest Halloween puffle hat you could think of? Well, we picked one comment from each language, and an artist drew all four of them!
On the English blog, Aguon1 had this idea:
My idea would be: a spider puffle hat. It would be brown and it would have the legs and the head on it. It would have the eyes on it the would be big and gloomy. It should also have a buggy mouth on it and have black stripes on the legs.

In French, Gopinoo had this clever idea:
For me, the spookiest puffle hat ever would be a hat in the shape of a jellyfish but with snakes instead of tentacles. Waddle on!

In Portuguese, Elvis524 left a suggestion that I thought was quite fabulous:
I guess the best Halloween hat would be something like a mountain with trees and the Living Sled on top!

In Spanish, Layla6765 made this amazingly creative suggestion:
The most terrifying puffle hat would be weird but creepy. It would be a mixture of a witch hat and a zombie hat with a unicorn or Pegasus horn to make it silly. The result would be a witch hat with gears and scars and a horn on the top. It would be funny to add stars to the horn.

Speaking of puffles... As you may have heard, we're launching a brand new game in the Pet Shop very soon: Pufflescape! So for this Reviewed by You, I'm curious... What's your favorite Club Penguin game to play with your puffle?
I'll pick one of your comment to feature on our next Reviewed by You. If your comment is featured, you'll get a 10,000 coin prize added to your account.

I'm excited to say... the new Chat Friends and Chat are available now!
The team has been working really hard on these new features for you guys. This is all brand new technology for Club Penguin, and we're really excited to finally share it with you!
Here are a few brand new things we've added:
- New Chat: Chatting with your friends is now easier than ever. It's way faster to make sentences by clicking the word blocks as they appear:

- Pictures of Friends: Now you'll see pictures of your friends instead of just a list of names. So it's faster than ever to see all your friends' outfits!
- Tag your Best Friends: It's way easier to keep track of your best friends now. You can make someone a best friend on your list by clicking the little medal above their picture. Check it out:

- Find your Friends Faster: It's so much easier to find friends, because now you can search for them. Just type in your friend's name, then send them a friend request. They don't have to be logged in to get your request!

As I said before, this is brand new technology, so there may be some hiccups. We're going to do everything we can to make sure that it's running as smoothly as possible for you guys. Thanks for your patience as we continue to make Club Penguin even better!
Let us know what your favorite feature is in the comments below. And be sure to let us know what you'd like to see added in the future! We've got a few more exciting additions to the Friends list coming in the next few weeks...
Until then... Waddle On!

Hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the Anniversary Party! Make sure you check out the new Yearbook over in the Book Room.

Guess what? We're getting ready to launch them both very soon! These are two of the biggest system improvements we've ever made, so we're incredibly excited to share them with you. Here's a sneak peek of the new Friends icon in the toolbar:
While I can't say too much just yet, I will say this... the new Friends and Chat will make it way easier for you to connect with your friends on Club Penguin. We'll have more info soon, so stay tuned!Until then... Waddle On!

Here′s a behind-the-scenes commentary on the unreleased ″Night of the Living Sled 4″ from Gord and Chris of the Club Penguin team!
Gord and Chris talk about the making of the 3 different ″Night of the Living Sled″ shorts, and what inspired the look of the mad scientist penguin in the videos.
Do you have any questions for the team? Feel free to post them in the comments below! :)
-Club Penguin Team
My advice would be if you see the cannon pointing up and nothing is there go up it. I did it once. I got lots of coins doing that and thats my advice for you. Isn't it awesome! So i do it all the time now. Waddle over to the pet shop and do it. Waddle on CP.
Remember, During a boss level, you usually have to defeat a flying machine. Instead of hitting it from the bottom or the sides, you hit it from the top so gravity pulls your puffle down and allows you to do two or even three or even four hits in a row!
Describe your creation in a comment below. Then next week, we'll randomly pick one of your inventions and a Club Penguin artist will draw it here on the blog! Try to keep your comment as short as possible (50-75 words is best.) Can't wait to read all your comments!
Until then... Waddle On!

Happy77 here. Those of you that saw Billybob's video blog may remember that he mentioned an updated Puffle experience. Guess what? It's coming this Thursday!
I wanted to get you the inside scoop, so I asked a programmer a few questions about the new improvements:
What improvements has the team made to the puffle experience?
The biggest thing is that we've added stat bars back. Other than that we've added notifications and puffle emotes. If your puffle needs something, a little notification will pop up in-world to let you know you need to take care of your puffle. And if you go to your igloo and your puffle really needs your attention, a little icon bubble will appear over his/her head to let you know what to do.
What's your favorite thing that's coming out this week?
Stat bars! They really help you understand how different items affect your puffles and what you need to do to keep them happy. They work way better than the original stat bars.

A few people have asked me why penguins are bigger in igloos now. Why are they bigger in igloos?
When we updated the igloo puffle art we noticed that the igloo puffles had really grown in relation to penguins. In fact, they were almost the same size as their penguin owners! It didn't look right, so we decided to make the penguins a little bigger to match the new puffle size. We also think that an igloo is a penguin's home, so it should feel a little cozier than being outside in the world. Having bigger penguins seemed to help this.
What's your favorite puffle hat? ;)
The sombrero hat, it looks pretty funny!
Hope that was helpful! I'm really excited about the new puffle stat bars. Let me know what you're most excited about in the comments below!
Waddle On! :)
