User blog:Manulik/Important Club Penguin Island Announcement

Sorry if this isn't done correctly. Just trying to get the word out.

You probably don't know who I am (unless you pay attention to TTR) but I have played Club Penguin since May 2007, so I've been around a while. I just recently got word of the new Club Penguin Island so I decided I'd check it out and Pre-Register. I logged in and wasn't given the option to link a CP account, so I emailed CP about getting my penguin name "Joe Penking" reserved.

They emailed back and said someone had already claimed that name. When I asked if it was me and there was just a glitch, they said that it was claimed by "someone else" and there was nothing they could do about it. I've done several back-and-forth emails but nothing has gotten accomplished. They told me that even though I've had the name for 10 years, that didn't guarantee I'd get it in CPI.

So warning to everyone unsure or procrastinating their own pre-registration: go quickly before they give away your penguin's name.

Now just in case, I will say here that I am skeptical that someone actually did claim my name, considering Joe Penking is rather obscure... but it is possible. Either way, CP has yet to offer and solution even if someone did take the name.
