The Frozen Heart Of Frozen!

Hey Guys,
I noticed that I usually just write how much I like CPHistories at the starting notes. So I decided that this time I will tell you a little bit about the July CPHistoy. You could call this Part 2 of “Blogging Titans Of CP!”, although it is not about the blogging titans. It is about their servers. You may be wondering why I didn’t write about Mammoth, why I chose Frozen, and I have an answer for that: Mammoth has been around for a while; Frozen has not. Frozen is a bit more interestiong, and is more popular these days. So enjoy, the latest CPHistory, The Frozen Heart Of Frozen!

After blogs about Club Penguin started popping up, and items became “rare” penguins who were in with the blogs, and old, wanted a place they could hang out. A place where they could meet these bloggers that they loved so very much. A place where they could chill, where they could show off their rare clothes. And in time, it was decided upon. After Blizzard met its fate to tons of “n00b members”, in the famous penguins opinions, they decided on a different server. A server called Mammoth.

Mammoth grew huge. Penguins were all over the dock, dancing, talking, waddling, and more. Penguins really did ‘Waddle Around And Meet New Friends :PAt times hackers would appear, but otherwise, it was a relatively fun, clean server. It just had one flaw

At the peak of the day, when lots of people were on, it was very hard for Non-members to get on. They would have log off and log back on a lot. During parties, they would have to hit Mammoth early to get in at all. In time, they decided they would need a server hangout that would be easier for non-members to get into. Time went by, and finally one was found. Frozen

The Frozen server was, at that time, not much. It was just another server in the UK, that rarely filled up and its occupants were mainly non-members. It was debatable if the server had ever been full. All of that was for the better. Soon, the famous penguins moved in. Its still debatable about how they found it, but someone decided that it was perfect. Soon, people were advertising for it at Mammoth, and the crowd of people who flocked to Frozen stayed there. Frozen was a keeper

I remember the hot, sweaty summer night I found Frozen. The servers were crowded, so I decided to log on to my secret hideout UK server, where litterally no one ever goes. I clicked on UK. Every server was one star, except for Frozen. I thought ‘Weird” and logged on to it. I had found a second Mammoth!

The old Frozen was long gone. Now it was a bustiling server, which had almost replaced Mammoth in popularity. However, Frozen was darker and meaner than Mammoth. Non-members were sometimes ridiculed by members there, and when September came and a hacking craze started, Frozen was the main attraction. When a penguin figured how to do something naughty, they went to Frozen and did it. And so Frozen gained a mixed reputation

Many penguins love Frozen, but some hate it. Many have never heard of it, and for a few, a quote from Star Wars describes it perfectly “You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainyStill, love it or hate it, you must admit that you will never find a more entertaining spot than the Dock at Frozen. And, after a fruitless effort to make the Iceland cove the new “hot spot”, it proved that it takes something in a server to make it great. And Frozen had that exactly.

New Newspaper!

Hey guys,
The newspaper (for some odd reason) came out late yesterday, and was not labeled as “new” today :neutral: Anyways, the July CP History will be released some time in the next hour! :mrgreen: I decided to post the newspaper first, though.

The party was extended until August 5th. Good. I’m glad they extended it. However, I must say, they should have extended the Water Party, even if it ment not extending this party

The new update to Aqua Grabber is coming after the party ends. I have a bad feeling that the “no idea what out there” may be reffering to the “krakken’ that showed up in April?

The newspaper also enounced the sequel: A Sequal Of “TEAM BLUE’S RALLY DEBUT”, which is generally thought of as the worst, dullest play on the history of the stage! And now….a sequel of it!!!!! What an amazing idea!

Happy77, a former mod, most interestingly, wrote an article in the paper. A few months back, I remembered reading a poem about a leaky boat in the newspaper, and remembered it was written by Happy77. When I went back, I discovered it was written by “Penguin 22″ much to my dismay. Today, however, I discovered that CP changed Happy77’s name to Penguin22 at one point. Anyways, I’m not sure I agree with Happy77. I find Cart Surfer the easiest way to get coins

The events page also reveals Rockhopper is coming for a visit sometime in August! AWESOME! Hopefully he brings better items, though :P

Anyways, like I said, I am releasing the July CPHistory in minutes!! :mrgreen:

In other news: The music party continues to rock and I have an exciting announcement — A lot of you requested that we keep jammin’ and so we’re extending the party!! It will be around until August 5. Of course, there are lots of other exciting things happening after that (including the new game level), and I’ll keep you posted.

Penguin Band!

Hey guys,
Yesterday, a sign appeared where the Penguin Band was playing. “The Penguin Band Is Taking A Break” Since then, they have been appearing all over servers in the backstage room!

On the first day, the band would appear, all together. Now, they mostly appear as only one member. I was lucky enough to meet all of them. For non-members and those of you who haven’t met them yet, here is what they look like:




Plus, if you are lucky enough to find them, they will give you a new band backround

Truth is, its too much like the very old band backround. It is still a very cool item, though. It might become very rare, considering that the penguin band rarely plays

UPDATE: I met them again! This time, I was able to get Forest Mon the backround, also!Plus, the first time I met them, the talking bug (The new most annoying bug, in which you can see anybody talking or moving, only you can talk. It mainly occurs in very crowded rooms) prevented me from seeing what they said. This time, I chilled with Petey K. He seemed to be a robot, because when I asked him for his accordian, he said “I Hope I Can See You Band Play”

pokesav/Hunterbug: I made this for fun I should have used one of guineapig119’s one PB pics but here it is the dog on it is my sisters as a puppy

Rock N’ Roll Party!And Update from pokesav/Hunterbug

Hey guys,
The Music Jam could not have started on a better day. This day, the 25th of July, was the exact same day that, last year, I heard the song “Bohemian Rhapsody” by Queen. You do not know what real music sounds like if you haven’t heard that song. Anyways, the music party is out, and its pretty good.

The items are the Maracas (Repeat, ugg) and the Music Shirt. Anyways, the Music Shirt is at the Plaza

And the maracas (Which were originally from the 2007 Winter Feista) are in the Cove.

Lots of rooms have stages on them, and all feature a different genre (Or “gender” as Eminem calls it :P Eminem is an idiot) In all the rooms with a stage, there is an applause button. It isn’t quite as cool as a hose. But hey, it works

There is also a booth filled with Music T-Shirts. They are for members only.

I’m surprised Club Penguin named one of the shirts ‘Vegas Shirt”

You can also buy a backstage pass in the booth. With it, you can get into the New Party Room, a backstage concert room. Unfortunately, that means non-members won’t be able to get in! :eek: I’m a member, and even I think thats unfair. If there are any non-member bloggers who need to use my picture of it, feel free to. Youy don’t even need to give me credit!

Inside the backstage room, there is a box of instruments for sale. However, there is only one new one :roll:

If you click on the “I” in Music, the red guitar will pop up!

Club Penguin should have made more original instuments, such as the accordian, or stuff like that, though. Even penguins who didn’t have the item before don’t like repeats.
Anyways, here are some of my favorite rooms in the party. Normally, I only give 6 (2-3), but because there are so many decorated rooms, I decided to show 12 (3*4) The emote I’m saying is my reveiw of it.



Anyways, here is my party reveiw!

ROCK PARTY REVEIW
Overall:The party is pretty good!
Free Items:Everyone hates a repeat, and thats exactly what this party has. However, the items are pretty good, and if we were to involve the shirts (Which I didn’t)
Decoration:Very good decorations, but a bit repetitive. They are still good
Music:The music is actually much better than I though, and I enjoyed listening to it.
What do you think of the party? Comment in your thoughts

DJ3K is out also. I find it very confusing and not very fun. I really haven’t figured out how you earn coins, although I think it is either by playing the keyboard, or how long you play it, or how many buttons you press

I expect CP to make instuctions soon….At east I hope they do. Anyways, I hope you guys like the party! Wow, this post took ages to write. I uploaded 30 Images, although I don’t think I used that many, and I spent an hour and a half writing it. Plus, this post is 531 words long!

pokesav/Hunterbug: Hi sorry I havn’t been poisting I was grounded :cry: But I got all the music items in the music chest I only needed the bass gutair because I was around when the others came out in the first place. Sorry If I was bragging there tell me and I’ll remove the I was around when the others came out part. Well here’s some pics of the party that I took.I think I’ll resize the viva las vegas(By Elvis Presly the all time King of Rock N’ Roll) and put it in my funny pics well the furniture was just to fill up a little space but oh well and the Three and One penguin switch is to chnage the piano to see what other ppl are doing on the piano If you don’t know what a snowcat is it was in Penguin Chat 3 (beta cp) and if you wait long enough the penguin band will go on a break. That’s all

Rock Newspaper!

Hey guys,
I almost waited until tommorrow to post this. A new island came out on Poptropica and I spent most of the day playing that. But then I realized there was a party tommorrow, and party posts are speical. Anyways, here goes

The newspaper not only contained info about the party, but “rules” for the concert. What a strange idea. They are talking about backstage passes, but what will a back stage pass do? It says limited quanity, so will it only be around for a tiny bit? Will it be like a free item ,but will it only be there for the first day? Or will it only be given out to certain players (That would be stupid. So very stupid) All of these questions will be answered tommorrow

They also announced what each rooms “theme” will be. I can’t wait to see “Boulder”, but am wincing already at “Bubblegum Pop” That is a music genre, actually. It is truly the worst music genre. Can’t wait to see the cave, also.

I’m actually somewhat excited for the party. :eek: My neck hurts from shaking my head up and down to Bohemian Rhapsody, and I just turned the house upside down to find my Spinal Tap CD. :p
Anyways, there is another article about the band in the newspaper. It tells all about the members. My favorite is probably Petey K. Just because he plays the accordian, which Weird Al Yankovic plays. I REALLY hope it comes out as a free item :P

And now, after countless re-runs at the stage, it presents a sequal to a play! Just when you think it was losing creativity. A new fresh…Wait….. Anyways, the sequel has got to be of “Quest For The Golden Puffle” or it won’t work. It would actually be cool if they mixed “Space Adventure” with “QFTGP”

In other news,
Aqua Grabber is getting an update. I don’t like the game, why can’t theyupdate “Jet Pack Adventure” Anyways, Billybob released a preveiw of an update coming to a game (Aqua Grabber, I am 99.99999% Sure) Anyways, people are saying in comments on the blog that it looks like a Puffle Holding its breath, but it looks more like Yoshi if you ask me :P

It looks weird, though. Look at the eyes. It looks as if it was drawn by someone, not animated on a computer. Strange….

New Updates And Preveiws

Hey guys,
I’m posting this quick to get caught up on the new stuff that happened between now and Friday before I post the long-awaited post about Poptropica. Anyways, the first is a new update on the igloo map

Alphabetical Order is an idea I sent to CP about a month ago. They used the idea, but I bet other people were asking to do the that.

The second is another preveiw of the DJ Game. The strangest part is, it says ‘Fever” on it, and Fever is the top CP blogger. It is very strange. It could be used in another sense, as in Fever, the disease Fever, but why? It makes no sense…..

The only thing weirder than that is the fact that they re-released the preveiw, this time with the logo DJ3K on it. No its not in a secret code (DJ=DJ 3K=3,000)

There… Thats all isn’t it (Then, the next day the moderators will release another preveiw :P )
In other news, there have been tons of penguins hacking CP. I don’t have a ton of pictures (I Usually Leave servers when I see hackers) But the main thing penguins are hakcing for is the beta hat

Many are pretending to be “ninjas” also. This penguin here was moonwalking

Another common thing I saw was penguins climbing on walls and into weird places. Heres one penguin in the water :eek:

:roll: I hate hackers. Lyckily the craze of hacking is almost over

Friday Updates

Hey guys,
Another Friday has rolled around, and that means more updates. I also have a speical treat at the end of this post. Anyways, I’ll start with the pin update.

The new pin is the treble clef, at the pool

Its a good pin and all, but it is waaay to much like the Music Note pin. Leave the second pin ever at peace, man

A guitar pin or something like that would have been more original (But I do like this pin)

2.) The Igloo Catolog:
The new igloo catolog is good, but too much like one in May ‘07

On a positive note, all the new furniture is great! The Band Stage is a little strange, but the notes are awesome, and the wall speaker is cool.
I will probably post the secrets later today.
There is also new music. I don’t love it (I wanted April Fools Day music….)

Aqua Grabber music puts me to sleep…. Zzzzz…..

The Dance Club is turning into a stage. Construction has begun on it, and lots of penguins are helping out. Best of all? My prediction for where to new DJ game would be was right: The Dance Club!

Speaking of Music Party, Billybob released a Sneak Preveiw of it on the blog:

Is seems strange to me… It would be better fitting at the Western Party than the Music Party! Of course, I have a feeling every room will be themed after a different style of music, and this one will be themed after country music :roll: I hate coutry music

Anyways, this part is just random. The “Video” category has been collecting dust since I last used in in November to post the Guinea Pig Song. So, I decided I would post a few videos and list this post under the “Videos Category! So here is my favorite music vid. Ever

And how could I resist posting this favorite from November again?

Hope you enjoyed

New Newspaper

Sorry I’m posting this late-The Updates post took forever. :roll: Anyways, to quote Keith Richards “The later, the greater HA HA HA” Now to the news

There is an article on the Play Return :roll: Anormal interveiw with a penguin about would would go like “I used to like it, but when the play returned, I fell asleep even thinking about it. Wow. You add a shell to the monster. Big whoop. I don’t know which caracter I like best, I spent all the time thinking about how Squidzoid should kill them in the end

The Music Festival is next week. I can’t wait to see what the free item is. Other than that, its not extremely exciting.

There is new music coming! Last time they updated the music was in January… I have a feeling it will include some of the music from parties..

Strange… The article about the Green Puffle really answers nothing. Why would they do it if it happened, then they just took it away, nothing happened. I have a feeling it will lead to something with the Music Party

I know I haven’t posted “In Focus” in ages, but todays was sooo weird, so very weeeeird, that I had to. Its about a race through CP, and has nothing to do with tours :?:

And, now, welcome, GUINEAPIG119!!
“Heelo. I am Guineapig119, and I will be explaining one of Aunt Artics responses to a question. The penguin told Aunt Artic that they had seen a penguin saying “The ? Symbol, and asked how. Aunt Artic then told the penguin about emotes. Hre, I’ll give you a quote. Wait-Since WordPress doesn’t have the CP emotes, I will have to explain it, saying the emotes. Bring on DA quote ‘Today for example, I’m feeling bad teeth—Ewww… why would she be feeling bad teeth…

Aunt Artic needs to find a dentist… So does that smiley face
And that concludes our report ‘Thank Ya, Thank Ya Very Much’”
Give it up for GUINEAPIG119

Updates, Updates, Updates, Oh, And More Updates

Hey guys,
The updates are out. There are tons-More than penguins were expecting! Here is a list of some of the updates I have found so far:

1.) Penguin Mail:

By far the coolest of the updtes that came out. Now you can send mail to buddies who are offline, and they can keep them! Now people will want famous penguins to send them cards…. Anyways, heres a look at your penguin mail desktop:

If a penguin gets too much mail, their mailbox will fill up. This message popped up when I tried to send a card to Fever :P

And, best of all, there is a free item on a card! Its a re-coloration,but I like it becuase it means there are now 2 items and 2 pins avaliable to penguin when they first join, plus possibly more if they join during parties…

And now, the Buddy Request symbol (envolope) has been replaced with the old card feature (Smiley face card). It actually makes more sense that way, if you think about it

Wow! P-mail (What I call Penguin Mail) took a total of 184 words to write!!

2.) New Server Selection:
Hey guys,
The second biggest update….
THE NEW SERVER SELECTION!
The first time I logged on with the new server selection, my “selected servers” were rubbish. The second time, it was a little better, with two servers that I usually log on to, plus Frozen, where lots of my buddies go

You can still choose from the list, also. Now its in alphabetical order. Who knows, maybe now, non-members can get into Blizzard!! o.O

3.) Igloo Backround:
Well, its not exactly the 3rd most important, but its cool. It would be if I added The new igloo sor–Say! I’ll add Igloo Sorting! Anyways, a backround has been added to igloos. I would like it better if you could choose from a list, woods doesn’t really suit my igloo, but its cool, better than nothing…

AAAAND they updated the igloo storage. Its better than both of the ones before, but if you have tons of items it isn’t quite so useful.

Plus, a well needed update to the igloo map.

It isn’t quite so random, and looks cool :wink:

4.) New Clothing Sorting!

Finally! For non-members and new members, the old sorting may have been fine, but for people who have been members for more than a year, it is a headache. It would take ages just to get to face items. The new sorting works much better

I’m glad they chose this one instead of the other one they were bebating-That one would have required the whole screen :roll:

5.) The Smaller Updates:
And now, an assortment of smaller things…
1.) The Spy Phone has been added to the main screen! This means easier access to the HQ!

I really don’t get why they don’t show if you have the spy phone. Its not like secret agents are secret… I bet most of the penguins banned are secret agents
2.) Various Bugs/Glitches
Along with new updates comes new glitches. Various one are scattered around. Try to find them :wink:
3.) The Green Puffle!
The green puffle has run away from the dance club and is now hogging the Hockey Puck

What will it lead up to? A new mission? A party? Who knows…

IN OTHER CP NEWS
You know how I said bringing back “Space Adventure” was CP’s worst idea. Then I handed it to bringing back the same free item and having a pin in the same place the worst idea 9Pirate Party) Then, the award went to bringing back “The Twelfth Fish”. Now it defines a new low. Sigh. Club Penguin is making a Nintendo DS game

Everyone knows that there was an edit on Google of a DS game, and there have been loads of rumors about one. A week after someone searched “Club Penguin Disney” on Gamestop and found a way to reserve a game, Billybob anounced they were making one. This is not the same CP I joined. This is a CP selling out for money. They have 3 million paying users on CP, so why make a DS game? For money. Plus, they are releasing it at Christmas, just to make more money. Its being made by Disney, which is a one-hit wonder Video Game company (Kingdom Hearts) All the rest of there games are truly awful. I have a feeling this one will be awful, also. Plus, Hacking devices will probably be made, and there is nothing CP can do about it. Not to offend Pokesav, or accuse him of being a hacker, but after having search terms giving my site hits that were “Pokesav and how to use it” or “How to get pokesav”, I though “What??? How could I ‘use’ a penguin, and why would someone waste time searching that”. So I searched it. I am sure a “Pokesav: CP edition” will come out, or something like that Plus, there is nothing CP can do about it
But the worst thing? Guess what word/logo is used the most on the cover? DISNEY :twisted: Plus, this game doesn’t require just normal Wi-Fi.It requires a speical Disney Version. So Disney Is using this game, USING US, To launch their speical Wi Fi.
I might quit CP when this game comes out. Don’t worry, I won’t completely quit, I will just cancel my membership, and only log on for Free Items. But don’t worry. I might not, infact there is a good chance I won’t quit. Ever. I will keep this blog if I quit, just post about other Internet things. But Disney is ruining CP
And, if any of you have a this question, I do have a DS and NINTENDO Wi Fi. I will probably get this game at Christmas :oops: Not that I want it. It looks bad…
Plus, I promise I won’t quit until October at the least, even if Disney starts advertising, and makes a TVshow about CP and other stuff like that.

GUINEAPIG119

Hi, I'm Guineapig119. I am a boy who enjoy Video Games), reading (good) books, soccer (Football to the rest of the world), comics, and skiing. I created this blog on October 10th, 2007. I originally made it to post about Club Penguin (an online game) on, but when Club Penguin got really boring for me, and I felt no reason to post. Since then, my site has been mainly about random stuff. On November 7th, 2008, some of my posts were deleted. We sadly lost about 2 months worth of posts. Although we have not confirmed, Pokesav, a former worker, is under the most suspicion. Enjoy!
