Every so often i might decide to give off a pointless post about something. Today , i decided to do a little history on cp.

All of you know , or most of you anyway , that Disney did not create club penguin. Club Penguin started off as penguin chat 3. Eventually it turned into cp. The cp we know and love , or ... knew and loved.
Way back in the years before Disney , club penguin used to be one of the most fun places on the Internet a child could ever want.
The opening in 2005 on the 24th October marked the beginning of New Horizon's Cp. And they threw a party , the very first cp party which only lasted 2 hours. The beta testing party however , few images remain of this.
Back before Disney , parties used to be fun , exited and different. There would be surprise parties sometimes. People would just log on to find the rooms decorated. Like the Western party of 2007 which lasted around a week.
But one of the best parties of all would be the Summer Kickoff party , the Water Party in July which was replaced by the Adventure party in 2009. We have had the last water party in 2008.
Compare those parties , to the parties we are getting now with Disney. There are also too many expeditions. They are making all these expeditions so that they dont have to decorate all the rooms in cp. They have also been repeating too many parties. Like the music jam has been returning every year since 2008. And many of the parties have little decorations.
Whats bad about those expeditions is that non-members can only go into 1-2 rooms , then the rest is all members only. The non members who where at the mountain expedition all know that they could only enter the 1st room of the 'party'
Now , its time for items. The items back then where much more fairer. Non-members used to have more items and not just silly hats. Body items , neck items and more used to be given to all players , unlike now , where they only get silly hats. Also , cp used to give out 2-4 free items each party. Now they give around 8 to members and 1 silly hat to the non-members. Compare the items below , to the stuff Disney is dishing out to our non-members now.
The music jam t-shirt and maracas where free for all players. They could be found in the plaza and cove.
During the water party 2007 , we had 3 types of clothes free for all players. An ice cream apron , a sea shell neckless and a green ducky .
In the last water party , in 2008 cp added 2 new items , the coral belt and the yellow ducki .
Im sure there where loads more items from the water party but i cant remember them.
In the Halloween party , before and in the Early stages of disney , we had scarfs and more free items. The pumpkin bag is an example of them.
Compare those with what items we are getting now:
Halloween , non-members get 1 free item and just some silly little hat:
Christmas the same thing:
And the worst one so far which makes you look like a freak:
Now lets talk about the maps.
Before , in the early days of cp around 2005 , the map used to be all crammed into the centre. The reason being , there where little rooms in cp . This one is not my favourite.
When cp added more rooms , they updated the map. Hidden rooms where added such as the dojo , the mine and the iceberg.
When the stage was build , the map changed a little just by the stage being added to the plaza. This one is my favourite:
Eventually , Disney entered and changed the maps new look completely.
Then , in June 2011 Disney changed the whole settings of Cp map and completely changed it.
And thats some cp history for all the new people out there , and the people wanting to learn how better cp would be without Disney!
