Hello Penguins!
The 'Big Screen' feature launched today! We're excited about it and you don't have to do anything different than what you usually do when you login to Club Penguin to view the game in 'Big Screen' mode. Just make sure your browser window is expanded as big as possible.
Check it out and as always let us know what you think!
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
March and April have sure been exciting months on CPIP, but I think May will be just as exciting because that's when the launch of some NEW features for Club Penguin is planned!
Launching the new servers last week definitely kicked things off in the right direction--they're stronger than old servers which means we can push them a lot harder and do some new things that wouldn't have been possible before!
Most of the new features will be launched in May, but I just found out that one will be launched early next week! It's definitely something a lot of you have been suggesting for a long time and something that we wanted to make sure we did properly.
On Tuesday, April 29 everyone will be able to play Club Penguin in "Big Screen"! When you login to Club Penguin after April 29, you can change the size of Club Penguin by adjusting your browser window size!
As always, we look forward to hearing what you think about it!
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
I just wanted to let you know how things are going since the new servers launched yesterday! A few major bugs were found yesterday, and most of them have been taken care of. A lot of you let us know right away about the bugs you found, so thanks!
The launch was really exciting and the team said the new servers were pushed harder than ever yesterday which is great! Your help definitely made the launch a success! The team is still squashing some bugs and making sure things are running smoothly.
As always, let us know about any bugs you find!
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
Can you believe it!? The first part of CPIP is complete! The new servers launched and the new website is up for everyone to check out!
Thanks to all of you for all your help throughout the Server Test! The team will still be squashing some bugs and fixing up a few things here and there so if you notice any bugs this week, let us know.
Some of you are probably wondering when you'll get the 'reward' for helping with Server Test. Don't worry, it hasn't been forgotten about but it can't be delivered quite yet! We need one of the new features to make it happen. I'll have more info about it next week!
Thanks to all your great feedback on the website over the past couple weeks, the team was able to finish in time for launch. A lot of you had some great ideas that couldn't be made in time for this launch but updates are made regularly to the website so we'll hopefully add them soon.
As soon as you've had a chance to check out the new site, be sure to let us know what you like and even what could be better!
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
Many of you who are helping with CPIP already know this, so this is more of a reminder. Club Penguin will be down for part of the day on April 14 between 12 am (midnight) and 3 pm while the new servers are being launched.
During this time you won't be able to access this site. But when the new servers are launched you will! And we can't wait to hear your thoughts about the new site!
Until then...waddle on!

Thank you for all your great feedback on the website design so far. It has been very helpful--keep it coming! This picture shows another page from the new site. It's next to the same page from the old site so you can see the differences.
A lot of you have asked about secrets on the new home page. There are definitely some fun things planned for the site and there will be even more we can add in the future.
Keep the comments coming. They are totally helpful!
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
After almost a month of testing, Server Test is complete! The test site has been shut down so that the team can get ready for the next big step: launching the new servers on clubpenguin.com! That's what they will be doing over the next week and a bit. So if you or your friends go to test.clubpenguin.com and can't login, that's because the testing is over.
Thank you to everyone for all the hard work and excellent help throughout the test. It was a lot of fun! We didn't announce this before because we wanted people to test for the right reasons, but we're planning on giving everyone who participated a special gift as a way to say "thank you" for helping!
The only problem is that you will have to wait a little while for it. We're planning on using one of the "new features" to deliver it!

Hello Penguins!
The next phase of CPIP is underway (the website redesign) and many of you have already provided tons of helpful feedback about the updated logo that will be featured on the new website.
The redesigned site will go live at www.clubpenguin.com on April 14th.
To find out more about the website redesign, check out the link on the CPIP homepage. There is a snapshot of a new section and we'd love to hear what you think about it and of course any suggestions you may have.
We'll have more info on a couple other important points next week.
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
The CPIP server test has been going really well over the past couple weeks. The team has squashed a lot of bugs, thanks to all the reports you've sent in.
When the test is over on April 4, your test accounts will be deleted, and the team will start preparing to go live with the new servers. Club Penguin will be completely transferred over to the new servers on April 14, but don't worry, your normal Club Penguin account will be transferred as well.
Until then... Waddle On!

Hello Penguins!
First of all, the testing this weekend was a huge success! We pushed the new servers hard, but they are working better than ever because of it. So thanks again to everyone who helped with that! We're glad you enjoyed being puffles!
We're getting ready to start talking about the new website, but I wanted to get your input on something before we do.
Working with Disney has been really cool and they have been totally supportive of Club Penguin and what we believe in. This is why we want them to be a part of our logo, but we've heard from many of you that the current version is a bit ugly and cluttered with all the text so we're trying to clean it up.
Old Logo New Logo
We wanted to show you how we might fix it and find out what you think of the change. As always, take a look and let us know what you think!
Until then... Waddle On!
