History of cp:
Before Club Penguin, there was a game created by Rocketsnail (Rsnail) called Penguin Chat. Penguin Chat was the game that Club Penguin was based on. In 2005 this game was closed and the players were told to move to a new game known as Club Penguin. Ever since beta testing, Club Penguin has grown to one of the most popular online games and has over 35 million users worldwide. All beta testers where awarded the beta hat and a 1 month free membership. Here are some stuff of old cp:
Here we have two old backgrounds of the original cp blog:
After about a year using that login screen club penguin decided to upgrade the login and homepage to this:

Party Hats
Every year for the Club Penguin anniversary on October 24th, the team gives away a free party hat for all players. These hats were designed to celebrate the beta launch of Club Penguin and anniversaries every year. Just like collectible pins, party hats are collector’s items which means they are only released once. This means all party hats will never be available in the game again. Each one has its own special design and the 5th year party hat was the first hat to have 5 different colours. Here are all the Party Hats we have had until now!
The beta hat is the rarest and most famous party hat on Club Penguin! The beta hat was released to beta testers in October 2005 in a box in the Town. When you see a beta tester , make sure to act cool and say hi and maybe even take a photo as a memo 
The first year party hat was green and blue. The First year party hat was released to all penguins in October 2006 inside the coffee shop .
The second year party hat was yellow and orange. The second year party hat was released to all penguins in October 2007. It was hidden in the book room above the Coffee Shop.
The third year party hat was yellow, orange, with blue stripes. It was given away in October 2008 at the Coffee Shop. It was hidden inside the GIANT 3rd year anniversary party cake!

Chatting:
All penguins have the privilege to chat to one another, however filters have been introduced by New Horizon Interactive to prevent messages being sent that include certain blocked words. Messages appear in speech bubbles and a history of messages within a room can be seen by clicking on a drop-down at the top of the screen. Whenever someone swears or uses a swearing acronym, the message does not show up (asterik or direct censoring is absent in Club Penguin, in order for it to not suggest spoken swear words within the game) and pop-up message indicates that you have been banned for a certain amount of time. When registering an account, the player has to select their age, and if they have selected an age under 18, the player needs their parent/carer’s permission in order to register. Furthermore, parents can choose whether their children communicate through Safe Chat or Normal Chat. Safe Chat uses a variety of preset messages so players can communicate safely. Safe Chat is also available for players with Normal Chat. Numbers do not show up when chatting. This move ensured that players could not reveal their age or phone number to other players.
Membership:
Members are players who pay for extra benefits in the world of Club Penguin. They count as about 2/3 of the active population. Members can use coins to buy clothing, furniture and puffles – virtual domesticated animals, which are kept as pets. They also have the privileges for VIP rooms and are more recognized in Club Penguin. However, non-members can still acquire items, which are usually given out at parties.Members also attend exclusive parties and events and get stamps that nonmembers cant.
Parties:
Parties are monthly events that are immensely popular in Club Penguin. The island is usually decorated to fit the theme, and as aforementioned, free items are given to non members. In some parties, members can gain VIP access to a special, exclusive room which is only available at the time of the party, and thereby called “the party”.usually last to around one week, but if it is of significance (e.g. Halloween, Christmas) the time is usually extended.
CPIP:
Cpip stands for Club Penguin Improvement Project. In Spring 2008, there was a project called CPIP when Club Penguin was upgraded to version 2. While the designers and programmers worked on the new features, penguins played the beta testing version of the new Club Penguin. The project was finished and closed on July 13, 2008. The beta testers of v2 where awarded the RED mining helmet. When i say beta testers i mean the ones who tested v2 of cp.
