Club Penguin can't do everything for free, they need the members to keep Club Penguin running. They reward the members for helping Club Penguin by giving them more stuff on it. I was a non-member for a long time, and I still had fun because it doesn't matter if your a member or a non-member, Club Penguin is still really fun.
