Club Penguin Rewritten Cheats™: The History Of Club Penguin (2005

1) Introduction

Club Penguin was an online-based, massively multiplayer online role-playing game (abbreviated as a MMORPG) created by Disney Canada Inc. (previously New Horizons Interactive) in the summer of 2005. It had a public Beta Testing in August 2005, and was officially launched on October 24, 2005. It was later bought by Disney in August 2007. It involved a virtual world, where the players were penguins, and was featuring a large range of minigames and other online activities, and was based on a snowy island, after which the game was named.

Club Penguin has been noted as sharing similarities with other popular browser-based online environments such as RuneScape and Habbo Hotel, such as the use of an in-game currency to purchase virtual items and pets, named "puffles". The game was specifically designed for players within the ages of 6-14 (however all ages can play), thus child safety was a vital responsibility of the game's developers. The game was founded by Lance Priebe, and co-founded by Lane Merrifield, and Dave Krysko. There were over 330,000,000 penguin accounts created and played in over 190 countries. It was estimated that over 150 million people worldwide play Club Penguin, which was originally built on a Smart Fox Server. Their headquarters was located in Kelowna, Canada.

Club Penguin was discontinued on March 30, 2017, at 12:01 AM PST.

2) History

Well, it all started on a normal day, Lance Priebe (Rocketsnail) in his free time developed games based on Flash-Web. Priebe launched in 2000 a game called "Experimental Penguins", a game very similar to Club Penguin. That game was not so fun to say, they were just penguins talking and walking:

After a few months, Lance began to improve experimental penguins. Although the penguins were offline in 2001, they were used as inspiration for Penguin Chat, which was released shortly after the elimination of Experimental Penguins. Therefore, when Priebe, Merrifield and Krysko decided to go ahead with Club Penguin in 2003, Penguin Chat was online where part of the design process could be based.

A year and a half later, Penguin Chat 3 was released, an updated version of this. This was really something that revolutionized Penguin Chat, it had better graphics, it supported more people online at the same time, and you will be able to interact much more than in the past. Here you already had rooms and you could dance and so on. This was really a "test" before Club Penguin, basically that's why it was created. Just remember that the Ninjas, first, were pure rumors in Club Penguin before 2008. Well in Penguin Chat 3 and there were ninjas from the beginning.

In the early summer of 2005, the Rocketsnail team announced something called Club Penguin, an improved version of Penguin Chat 3. On Club Penguin's current site there was only one logo and it said it was under construction. After two years of testing and development, the first version of Club Penguin was released on October 24, 2005. They closed Penguin Chat a few days later and then closed Rocketsnail.

Weeks later it was the Beta Testing Party, in which they gave away special items for a few hours. The Beta Testers had a free month of membership and 2000 coins. The growth was rapid.

3) Disney

On August 1, 2007, Club Penguin was bought by The Walt Disney Company. Club Penguin joined Disney so they could help spread Club Penguin throughout the world in many different countries, in many different languages. Disney would also help make Club Penguin much better and much safer for their players.

Disney purchased Club Penguin for the initial price of 350 million United States Dollars, with an additional 350 million dollars in bonuses provided specific targets were met by 2009.

On August 20, 2013, Disney announced they would close 4 games to focus on Club Penguin and other mobile apps.

On September 2, 2015, Club Penguin stopped supporting two languages, German and Russian.

4) Toys

Club Penguin first started selling merchandise in 2006 on their online store. In 2007, when Club Penguin was bought by Disney, they decided to make toys available in more places besides online. On October 24, 2008, Club Penguin toys were shipped to stores all around the world, where players could buy them at their nearest supermarket.

Club Penguin has sold merchandise such as stuffed plush penguins, and stuffed puffles, mix and match figures (in which head, body, some items, and lower parts of a penguin come off to mix with another set or another penguin in the same set) and Card-Jitsu cards; including Card-Jitsu Fire and Water cards.
