Stage Sneak Peek
Hello Penguins!
We've heard lots of great ideas from many of you about future themes for The Stage and I just found out about a new theme the team is currently working on. I wanted to be the first to give you a little sneak peek. I don't have a lot of details right now, but I did find out that it will be released in February. And I managed to grab a small bit of art from the development team. What =do you think?
In other news: I know a lot of you are curious about Rockhopper and what he plans to do. More will be revealed soon, so keep checking the newspaper and keep an eye on things around town!
Until then... Waddle On!

New Igloo Music!!
Hello Penguins!
Many of you have been asking for some new music for your igloos and we've been listening! Now you can have new music for parties, band rehersals, or just hanging out! Let us know what you think and how you like to use the new music!
In other news: Captian Rockhopper will stay in town until next Friday. If you see him, be sure you encourage him because he's gone through a lot lately.
Until then... Waddle On!

Rockhopper is Here!
Hello Penguins!
I'm not sure if you've noticed, but Rockhopper has landed on the shores of the Beach! He obviously doesn't have his normal treasure, but he does have some extra life jackets for everyone! Keep an eye out for him because he will give you something if you ask to be his buddy! If you look through the telescope you can see his ship which doesn't look very good. As always, we would love to hear your ideas for what we can do to help him!
In other news: The new blog system is launched and although it looks similar, it does have some cool features that should make things a bit easier! Also, there will be more people than just me posting in the future, so we'll try to get you even more information!
Until then... Waddle On!

New Mission!
Hello Penguins!
For those of you who are secret agents (you know who you are...), you will want to report to headquarters today to play the next mission. It is a continuation of the story from Mission 5, so you must finish that one before you can play this one. As always we would love to know what you think!
For those of you who aren't agents yet, you can apply to the agency by clicking on the "M" in the top right corner of the screen. Your penguin must be at least 30 days old and you have to pass the test. Good luck!
Until then... Waddle On!

Party Time!!
Hello Penguins!
I hope you’re all enjoying the Fiesta Party! It's been a lot of fun so far! This one has some of the same things from last year, with a lot of new stuff! My favorite part is the Coffee Shop, but we would love to hear what yours is!
Also, there was a bug with the pin that caused some issues. It was fixed pretty quickly and everything should be back to normal now. We are really sorry to those of you who had it happen to them.
In other news: On Monday, we’re going to be launching an update to the blog. It will look a bit different, but still function almost the same way. As always, keep the comments coming, even though we can’t post them all, your ideas are being heard! Until then... Waddle On!

What Happened to Rockhopper!!
Hello Penguins!
If you haven’t seen the telescope lately, you should definitely check it out! It looks like Rockhopper ran into an iceberg and his ship is slowly sinking. Don’t worry, he and Yarr, seem to be OK and it looks like they're slowly rowing toward the island. I’m sure we’ll find out more when he gets here. I can tell you that this is NOT connected to the mission, it has to do with some fun events happening next month! I would love to hear what you think it could be!
Speaking of the mission, you will have to play Mission 5 before you can play this new one because they are connected. You will want to do it right away because the new mission will be coming out soon! Until then... Waddle On!

Fiesta Sneak Peek!
Hello Penguins! I hope you all had a great weekend hanging out at the new stage! I was able to grab a sneak peek of what this Friday’s party will look like and I hope you are as excited as I am about this! I think it's going to be a blast! And yes, there will be a free item for everyone so you won’t want to miss it!
In other news: We launched the new furniture system yesterday and although we had some bugs, it seems to be working now. We apologize for it not working very well earlier today and we appreciate your patience! As always, we would love to know what you think of it! Until then... Waddle On!

New Stage!!!
Hello Penguins!
I hope you’ve all had a chance to check out the new play at The Stage today! It will only be here for one month so be sure to try it all out! Some of you have already been asking if certain stage themes will come back and don’t worry, we will try to bring back your favorites from time to time. As always, we would love to know what you think about this new one!
In other news: On Monday we’re launching a pretty big update on our furniture system. We’ve been listening to what you would like to see and hopefully we’ve included all the features you want! This will help you organize your igloo and its furniture better so you can make sure your decorating can be as fun and easy as possible! We will continue to make changes and fix any bugs until its working perfectly. Until then... Waddle On!

The Heart Emote is Coming Back!
Hello Penguins!
Sometimes, like everyone does, we make a mistake. A few weeks ago we took away the heart and the skull emoticon because many of you had shared how they were being misused. Once we removed them, we heard from even more of you about how you were using the heart in great ways, such as showing your puffle how much you care for it or showing how much you loved the Coins for Change project. In the end, we decided that we don’t want to punish all of you for something that only a few people were doing wrong. So, we’ve decided to bring back the heart!
Starting this Friday, the heart emote will return to Club Penguin! We will not bring back the skull because there are a lot of other emotes to show that you don’t like something. Above all, we want Club Penguin to be a positive place so please use the heart in the right way and thanks for letting us know how you feel. Club Penguin is yours and we want you to enjoy it!
Until then... Waddle On!

Stage Sneak Peak (and clothes of course!)
Hello Penguins!
I hope you're all having a great new year so far! I said I'd try to find something about the new play coming to The Stage and this is what I was able to get. I'd love to hear what you think the theme will be! It's on schedule to launch next Friday and I think it's going to be one of the best! I can't wait for you to see the rest of it!
In other news: The new clothing catalog was released today! Some of you may have noticed a few changes to it. We added a new page to feature some of the most popular jobs in Club Penguin. Every month a different uniform will be available. I'd love to hear what jobs or uniforms you'd like to see featured next!
Until then... Waddle On!

Happy New Year!! (and other new stuff!)
Hello Penguins!
I hope you all enjoyed the fireworks and all the Holiday fun! It was another great year in Club Penguin, but we've got an even bigger year planned for 2008! It's going to be awesome! As always, it will include new games, new missions, new catalogs, new parties, new adventures, new features, new secrets, AND MORE!
We've also got some great surprises planned. I can't tell you much now, but I will as soon as I can.
This week we've got some brand new wigs launching and they are some of the fun ones you've been asking for. Be sure to check out the new clothing catalog on Friday too! I'm also trying to get a sneak peek for Friday of the upcoming new play at The Stage and it is awesome!
Until then... Waddle On!
