Hello everybody! It's been a long time and I've been busier than ever as I enter the final year of high school. However with the closure of Club Penguin announced, I want to gather support for a compromise between players and Club Penguin's eventual shutting down.

For many of us, Club Penguin is an integral part of our childhood. Having everything wiped would mean people lose an entire unsalvageable portion of their childhood, and from a business standpoint, those who have ever paid membership will feel even more gutted as they have paid money to enhance their ability to customise their penguins. - That is why I am proposing to allow players (or at least their parents) to be able to download a small file with a custom extension, for instance .wocp (waddle on cp) containing data on at least our penguin name, account creation date and all of our owned items and their sprites.

Because this a custom file, only specific programs will be able to ever tamper with it, programs most people won't be bothered to download. Anyway, to read the file Club Penguin can have an option to either download a small swf file that can read those player card files, allowing players to continue customising their penguins offline, long after the shutting down of the servers.

If the downloading option is not possible, Club Penguin still owns the play.clubpenguin.com domain, and in its place there can be a small "flash game" that allows players to locally upload their player card files to be stored onto their browser cookies. This would allow the same functions as above, customising their player.

Tell me what you think of it, and if people like it enough hopefully it'll be passed on.
