Hello Penguins!
The features were successfully launched! Based on your feedback, we're still doing some tweaking - and fixing a few bugs, but things are looking good.
Next week, the CPIP blog will be closing for the time being. You guys have helped a lot--starting back in March with the Server Test and in April with all the feedback on the site redesign! The Club Penguin Team sends a huge 'thanks' for all the work and enthusiasm you've put into CPIP. I'll be posting a final blog next week but I wanted to give you the heads up.
You'll be able to leave comments until next Wednesday, and we still really want to hear your suggestions and ideas about how to make these features even better.
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
The team finished testing and launched the new features yesterday! Thank you for all your feedback and help with this project. A lot of you have been a part of it since it started in March and it's sure come a long way since the Server Test! Your suggestions and comments on the new features have been a huge inspiration to the team working on the project!
Now that the features are launched we're excited to hear what you think and how it's working for you! The team has already started fixing bugs based on a lot of the feedback you've provided so far.
I'm sure there's even more we can do with some of these features, so if you have some suggestions be sure to let us know.
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins,
It's amazing what can change in a day! Since my last post (yesterday!) the team uncovered a couple major bugs with the new features that will take a few days to fix. While the team hoped to launch the features today, the plan is to have everything fixed and ready to launch by early next week.
CPIP has been a pretty big project for everyone and it all started in March with the Server Test that many of you were a part of! And it's not over yet. Your patience and excitement about this project has been a huge help and continues to be the closer we get to completing it!
I will keep you updated with news about how the testing is going as soon as I know more. For now, the team is aiming to be ready early next week.
Thanks for your patience!
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
I wanted to be the first to let you know! The new features are expected to launch sometime on Thursday! As soon as they launch, we'll need your help to try it out and of course let us know what you think.
The team is still working on a few last minute bugs and if all goes as planned you'll be able to check out the new features before the end of the week.
Until then...waddle on!

When the features launch your help will be needed to login to Club Penguin, try everything out and, of course, to tell us what you think. If you find anything that's not working, be sure to let us know.
Until then... waddle on!

Here's a summary of the features we've been talking about and what will be launched:
Thanks for all your great feedback so far--it's been a huge help as we've been working on these features! Keep it coming!
- New server selection (recommended servers and buddies easier to find)
- Igloo background!
- Penguin Mail (sending and receiving postcards improved)

Until then... waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
Penguin Mail is ALMOST ready to launch, but before it does, we wanted to get your feedback on it. Below is a image of what it will look like. After our first post about Penguin Mail a few weeks ago we got a bunch of creative comments about designs and ways to make postcards even cooler than they are now. Many of you like the logo we posted on that blog, but asked to see more of the actual design.
Here's one view of the new Penguin Mail:
You'll definitely get the full picture when the feature launches this month--even as early as next week.This 'mailbox' will allow you to send mail to your buddies even when they're not online, save postcards, ignore postcards and delete them too. The coolest part to me is that whenever I'm in Club Penguin and receive a postcard, Penguin Mail will let me know! That way I won't miss any cool cards from other penguins!
No matter where you are in Club Penguin, you'll always be able to check your mail by clicking on the grey envelope at the top left of your screen.
As always, let us know what you think and definitely what you would like to see added in the future!
Until then...waddle on!

Hello Penguins!
I mentioned last week that we have been working hard on fixing some bugs and listening to your comments. As a result, we've made some changes...
The first change was with the new player card. We heard a lot of great feedback after our last post about the player card and one major concern was not having a quick view when putting your outfits together. So we went back to the drawing board and fixed it. Here's a design of what it will look like.
We wanted to make sure you could still sort all your items by category (like the current furniture inventory) but also view everything together. And it was really important to make sure you could view the items on your penguin as soon as you selected them.
The new design definitely allows for that, and we kept the 'clear outfit' button!
I heard today that the team hopes to have the features ready to launch in a couple weeks. You know what that means! As soon as they launch, and you have a chance to check them out be sure to let us know how it all works!
Until then...waddle on!
