User blog comment:Green Ninja/Happy 8th Anniversary, Club Penguin!/@comment-5601614-20131027060521

This year's definitely missing something. Not many of the parties/events pleased me all that much. I find a lot of the parties this year were focused too much on waiting for the next day for the next prize. It's a good tactic to get more users though, let them have an item, tantalize them with another neat looking item, but then reveal, "Oops, sorry, come back tomorrow to get it!" What really bothered me was that some traditional parties were taken out, and new, promotional parties were put in, for example, it's the first year since 2006 to not have the April Fools' Party, which, I'm sure, lot's of older users were looking forward to. The Medieval Party was also a huge let down. Anyone who's been playing Club Penguin for at least a year knows about the Knight's Quest. And, of course, since it's a Medieval Party there has to be a Knight's Quest, right? It's tradition. Everyone gets pumped up about it, when all of a sudden, no Knight's Quest, but here's something else even more useless you can do, you can transform into a puffle with wings! Transformations have also taken over a majority of Club Penguin parties, and I don't like it. Personally, there have only been 4 good parties in 2013: Prehistoric, Puffle, Card Jitsu Snow, and Halloween. The Prehistoric party I really liked, because all the rooms are decorated to look like they're from old, cavemen times, but then you can also go back to the standard, no party look of Club Penguin. Puffle Party is my least favorite of my favorite parties, but hey, there's a new puffle, new items, and, my favorite part of Puffle Parties, decorated rooms! Puffle Hotel I don't care for. CJS is kinda obvious, cause it's about time they added CJS. Halloween I very much like because I am a big fan of Halloween parties. And yes, there are transformations, but you don't have to wait to unlock them, and you don't have to wait to buy the items. The only thing I don't like about it is there's no Igloo decoration contest. And the wolf howl. I wouldn't say this year was too good for parties, but there were still some good ones. And who knows, Operation Puffle and the Christmas Party might just be the most entertaining events in Club Penguin History. But yeah, Happy 8th, Club Penguin.
