Beta Testing

Beta testing is when people sign up to help fix the bugs in the beta version of Club Penguin and report them so Club Penguin could fix them. People who signed up are called Beta Testers, also known as betas. When Club Penguin was publicly launched, the team held a party to thank Beta Testers, in which the yellow and pink party hat was given out in the Town. Beta testers usually wear this hat as it shows that they are a beta tester. Most beta testers have names like "fano" or "JaMeS" that have a mixture of lowercase and uppercase letters. Although, when Club Penguin launched the CPIP test server, the names were changed so "fano" is now "Fano" and "JaMeS" is now "James". However, on August 4th, 2009, Most beta testers' names have been restored, turning "Fano" into "fano", or "James" into "JaMeS". Today, these penguins are considered very rare, as most have quit because they have either gotten too old or just got bored. Betas most likely have the Shamrock Pin because it was the first pin released on Club Penguin.

Trivia

 * Penguins who participated in the Club Penguin Improvement Project testing are sometimes thought to be betas, but are not.


 * When penguins share accounts, one penguin sometimes tricks the other by telling them they have a beta hat, but they actually mean the Red Construction Hat.


 * Within an hour of the Beta being launched, the servers crashed and had to be reset. This occurred many more times in the future.


 * After the Beta ended, testers were rewarded by receiving 1,000 coins, one month of paid membership, and also got to keep the Party Hat.


 * If you go to the 2008 and 2009 yearbook, on the front cover, penguins are wearing anniversary hats
