Hello penguins,

As you know, over the past few years, we’ve been hard at work developing an entirely new Club Penguin experience for mobile. With this next chapter, we will be launching an amazing new product, Club Penguin Island, that offers a uniquely penguin experience, with new features and gameplay, making it more fun than ever.

As part of the launch of Club Penguin Island in March, we will be transitioning to an entirely new platform, and, we’ve made the decision to discontinue the current Club Penguin game on desktop and mobile devices on March 29, 2017.

We’ll be celebrating the first 11 years with you with a huge party starting February 1, 2017. Here's a little sneak peek of what you can expect at the party:

And here’s what you need to know about the closure:

  • Memberships for desktop Club Penguin and the Club Penguin app will no longer be available for purchase as of Jan. 31, 2017. From Jan. 31 until Mar. 29, 2017, current paid members can log in and continue to enjoy full-unlimited access until their original membership end date.
  • As of Jan. 31, 2017, paid member accounts will no longer be charged a recurring payment for desktop Club Penguin and the Club Penguin app.
  • Emails will be sent to current paid members with further information about membership including refund details.
  • If you do not currently have a Club Penguin membership, you can continue to log in and enjoy the game as you were previously, until March 29, 2017.

Players in select languages and territories are welcome to pre-register their new penguin name on Club Penguin Island to receive exclusive in-game rewards when they log in for the first time. You have until Feb. 16, 2017, to pre-register here.

We are deeply grateful for your time and enthusiasm since the beginning, and we’d like to thank each and every one of you in the Club Penguin community – we can’t wait for you to see what’s coming next.

If you have questions or would like additional information, please visit the FAQs page here.

And as always, waddle on,

-Club Penguin Team

smh eleven days into trump's presidency and they've already taken club penguin

 

All jokes aside, not even gonna lie, I'm not sad, but pretty shocked. Club Penguin was pretty much my entire elementary school years and a pretty major part of growing up for me. It was pretty much the first thing I played when I got home from like kindergarten to 4th grade, so yeah, it's so weird it's going. My mom told me this was happening today and I was pretty shocked, but also, I'm not really too surprised. Club Penguin has been going on a downhill ride ever since like 2012 (by then it was getting worse IMO, but they really "jumped the shark" when they started having all these licensed parties like the Marvel one and I think there was one for Shake It Up, and it was also me maturing), and as technology evolves like this, virtual worlds are really a thing of the past. Wonder if Webkinz will follow suit.

Just checked even though I'm not active, my account on closing day will be 9 years and 2 months, that's crazy. Like the age that most players are on there. rip rainforset dec 2007-2017, plus I made like a million other accounts as a kid.

My account is like 10 years old. I made mine in December 2006, when I was... damn, 5. Now I'm 15. Where does the time go......

 

One of my cousins helped come out of my username. Now I hate the bastard (He's a literal white supremacist Trump supporter who's pretty sexist and probably racist, but that's a story for another time) But yeah where the fuck does the time go, jeez

those losers deleted my godly account with so many items :face:

i'll miss it pretty badly though, it was a gigantic part of my childhood and hella fun with friends as well as practically introducing me to the horrible place called the internet

 

it's being succeeded by some app thingy:

ngl it looks nice but it IS a mobile game so the servers will be pretty trash and i imagine a lot of lag and screw ups

I didn't really have that much of an emotional attachment to the site.  I had an account but I didn't really use it except like a handful of times.  But I've got to say:
