User blog:Penguin Frost/It's Your Birthday Club Penguin!



It's been eight years since Club Penguin was released for beta testing. In this special blog I will be showing you the history of what became Club Penguin, and I will also be talking about this great party!

Experimental Penguins
Club Penguin started as a game called Experimental Penguins. Experimental Penguins was an old game from the year 2000, which was believed to have started Club Penguin. It was a multiplayer game/chat, similar to Club Penguin and Penguin Chat 3, and it was made around the time of Rocketsnail Games.

Players would join as a normal blue penguin, while in a different edition of Experimental Penguins, you would be able to have a santa hat on. Developers would get a Snow Trekker to roam around the island.

Experimental Penguins only stayed up for a year, but it got several awards. It closed down in late 2001, and then Penguin Chat came along. During Experimental Penguins, there was a game being worked on for it called Snowblasters. The game was never finished before they put up Penguin Chat.

Penguin Chat
Penguin Chat, commonly known as PC was an online MMOG game created by RocketSnail Games. In 2001, rsnail announced a new strategy game called "Snow Blasters". This was eventually changed into a "web toy" called Penguin Chat. It was the successor of Experimental Penguins, soon to evolve into what we now know as Club Penguin.

Like Experimental Penguins, players would join as a normal blue penguin, and could interact with other players with the newly introduced toolbar. The only 3 rooms accessible were a white room, another white room leading to the Igloo, and of course, the igloo, were the original Penguin Band played.

Penguin Chat 2
Penguin Football Chat (referred to as Penguin Soccer Chat in North America) is a slightly different version of Penguin Chat. Players are represented as a penguin character dressed in a football uniform with two numbers and colours of their choice. Unlike Penguin Chat, Penguin Football Chat has four rooms. Unfortunately, Penguin Football Chat was removed in June 2012.

Penguin Chat 3
The final version of the Penguin Chat Saga, Penguin Chat 3, was March 31, 2005. Penguin Chat 3, commonly abbreviated to simply PC3, is the third installment to the Penguin Chat series that was hosted on RocketSnail Games. Six months later, Club Penguin finally is released!

Club Penguin
And finally, Club Penguin! Club Penguin is an online-based, massively multiplayer online role-playing game (abbreviated as a MMORPG) created by New Horizon Interactive in the summer of 2005. It had a public Beta Testing in August 2005, and was officially launched on October 24, 2005. And then came everything that made the great game that we love, Club Penguin!

There we are! I will release the 8th Anniversary Party tommorow! Happy anniversary!
