ITS STILL HAPPENING /6pYm0VuMEf- ✧ j ✧ November 14, 2016 I'M AT THE CLUB PENGUIN TRUMP PROTEST /qhgHQuJYR6- carla November 14, 2016
Club Penguin, which is owned by Disney, is among the most-well-known social networks for young adults: Everyone is a penguin, and you walk around a virtual town chatting with people, typing messages, and participating in activities like dance parties and games.Ĭlub Penguin’s kid-friendly aesthetic has often lent itself to surreal shenanigans, like in November, when one server hosted a brief protest against then-President-elect Donald Trump. Jimbobson (Or whatever username I get in CPI because ‘Jimbobson’ isn’t allowed at this time.Earlier this week, the mostly adolescent user base of cartoon social network Club Penguin was stunned to find out that the online service would shut down its current incarnation, as a desktop web app, and transition to mobile devices. It’ll be a fun experience regardless and I look forward to playing the game when it is eventually released. Geo-locked Beta testing (on iOS only), mobile only and for the most part, membership only. So there it is, CPI will be the exclusive of exclusives – at first. An annoyance? Yes, but micro transactions are much, much worse. This means that CPI will be a subscription-based game and we will be required to pay for certain features. Basically, Membership will still feature. But so what, right? It’s the actual game that counts and we all most of us will get to play it presuming we have a recent mobile device! I just hope there’s not too many in-app purchases. So, we’re aware of how exclusive this Beta test will be.

Android operates far more devices due to the plethora of mobile devices using the Google-owned OS, though admittedly the OS is far more fragmented than iOS and CP hasn’t being shy in flirting with Apple and its’ products in the past. However, excluding international and/or Android users at this stage is extremely unfair. It’s no secret that I’m a big Apple fan and own iOS devices and a MacBook. Wait, TestFlight? Apple? Surely not.Yep! The test will also be iOS exclusive. Simply put, many many fans are going to miss out and I highly doubt they will be too happy about it. The issue is that this service is limited to 2,000 testers – making the CPI Beta far more exclusive than even the CP Beta of 2005. It’s almost bad enough that our items, coins, Puffles etc won’t be transferred.ĬPI will use Apple’s TestFlight service to beta-test the upcoming game. Right?! This alienates users, particularly those of us who have played the game for a long time. Surely if CPI is to be a quality mobile game for the masses, testing outside of North America would be logical? But I guess as long as the game works there the rest of us will be happy. The reasoning behind this geo-lock isn’t clear.
Mobile-only is something that was a controversial move on Disney’s part and one that left those either without a mobile device (or at least a recent one) out of luck.
The fundamental issue here is how the game is already dividing users. Even faking your location won’t save you here, as the game itself will apparently be region locked. This means that only users in either the United States or Canada will be able to participate. When Club Penguin had their beta test way back in 2005, they invited 15,000 players from Penguin Chat 3 to come over and test the game. USA? UK? South Africa? No problem!Ĭlub Penguin Island (CPI) however have instead opted to geo-lock their closed Beta test. Not just mobile only, but USA/Canada only! As I’m sure many of you will know by the time you’re reading this (ha, people reading my blog?! Ha!), Club Penguin Island was officially announced as the successor to CP, codenamed by many as Project Super Secret – until now! Interested users can pre-register for the 2017 game and will receive a batch of special items for their interest.Īfter the many troubles of actually trying to reserve a username (wow, that system really needs work), you’ll eventually be ready…to wait until next year to play the game! However, some lucky users who have pre-registered have received an e-mail, inviting them with the potential to test their games in an elusive closed-beta.
