Thanks for the well-written input on the game and the community, Phineas.

While I agree that we shouldn't judge the game's year by its party, I personally think that the past year's highlights have been overshadowed by the negative things that have happened. Parties not enjoyable, HUGE pins and unappealing clothing and furniture have made the game less enjoyable and left the community frustrated.

Besides that, I personally think that the team has been focusing too much on mobile apps. This has also contributed to parties being not enjoyable with the team having to do double work, thus limiting the parties on the desktop, from decorations to stuffs to do. Therefore, I support the idea of having only the main highlight of a party on mobile.

I too agree with you that the community is "completely different that we do not understand ourselves". Say the Fair 2014, people were complaining about how high the ticket prices were for the prizes. Prior to that, during the Fair 2015, the team reverted the prices to pre-Fair 2014. Now the community are saying that the prices are too low that players will spend less time in-game.

Though in the recent weeks, Club Penguin has made an effort to maintain the "oldies" community, say reducing the size of the pins and having different parties on mobile and desktop. So let's hope they will step up and continue this effort.
