Each player on ''[[Club Penguin]]'' had their own personal '''player card''', which contained the name of the player and their [[penguin]] image. A player card could be accessed by clicking on a penguin in-game.
[[File:qrqrqrq.png|thumb|A normal player card.]]
 
   
  +
==Features==
A '''Player Card''' is a personal profile that each [[penguin]] has. They can be accessed by simply clicking on the player's [[penguin]] avatar.
 
  +
All player cards include an image of the player's penguin and the player's name on the top. When a player views their own player card, the amount of [[coin]]s they have, as well as a button to opening their [[Stamp|stamp book]], would appear on the bottom. In addition, when someone views their own player card, a button on the right is used to reveal their [[inventory]]- which is used to wear and change [[clothing]] (including [[pins]] and [[background]]s). Clothing items can be removed by clicking them on the player card.
   
  +
===Icons bar===
If a player is a [[member]], they will have a [[membership]] badge in the upper left hand corner of their player card. For this badge, it looks different depending on how long you've been a [[member]] or how long you've subscribed for. The levels are just a badge, a badge with one stripe, with two and three and then a badge with three stripes and a star as the highest level. A stripe is added every 6 months, but it doesn't mean that you have to earn them all at once. It just "freezes" if you've suddenly become a [[non-member]]. If you are a [[Non-Member]], a Star will appear instead of the [[Membership]] badge. Moderators have a badge on top of their player card and automatically have a years [[membership]] which automatically renew itself.
 
  +
When viewing others' player cards, the inventory button and ability to remove clothing are missing. On the bottom of the player card a set of buttons is found, where each one has its own role:
  +
*Sending a [[Friends List|friend request]] (or removing a friend).
  +
*Retrieving the player's location (if they are friends with the given player).
  +
*Going to the player's [[igloo]] (if they are friends, or a [[member]] that opened their igloo).
  +
*Sending a [[postcard]].
  +
*Viewing the [[Stamp|stamp book]].
  +
*[[Ignore List|Ignoring]]/unignoring a player.
  +
*[[Report a Player|Reporting]] a player.
  +
When viewing others' player cards, their amount of coins is not shown.
   
  +
==Accessibility==
The actual appearance of the card has changed. If an item fails to load, an X appears in that slot. This is where the user can change their [[penguin]]'s attire/appearance. Users can also find out how many [[coin]]s they have.
 
  +
There are several standard ways for opening player cards:
  +
*Clicking a penguin in-game.
  +
*Clicking a penguin in the [[Friend List]], either in the list of friends or in the incoming requests.
  +
*Clicking the [[penguin]] icon in the [[toolbar]], for viewing the player card of the given user.
  +
*Clicking a player in the "Like" list in someone's [[igloo]].
   
  +
==Badges==
Only famous [[penguin]]s, [[puffle]]s (while being walked) and [[transformation]]s have been known to have poses on their player cards, and if a player has a [[bait item]], their player card might change into a pose.
 
  +
By default, all players have a star icon on the upper-left corner of their player card. Some players (usually fake or "bot" players) do not have a star on their player cards for unknown reasons. If the player is a [[member]], the icon will be replaced with [[Membership#Member Badges|a badge]], which changes based on how long the player has been a member.
   
== Features ==
+
==Order and display==
  +
Items are stacked in a specific order in the player card's image. Each item type has its own depth value, where their general order is the following (from back to front):
[[Image:Normal penguin.PNG|right|thumb|143px|An example of the old player card.]]
 
  +
#[[Background]]s
Each player card has an enlarged image of the player's penguin. Player cards can also have [[background]]s, [[clothes]] and [[pin]]s/[[flag]]s. From here, you can ask them to be your [[buddy]], or remove them from your [[buddy list]]; if they are your [[buddy]], find them or visit their [[Igloo]]; send them a [[post card]]; add/remove them to/from your [[Ignore list]] or report them to a [[Moderator]].

#[[Color]]s and the penguin image

  +
#[[Body Item]]s
*If you see a mascot's player card, instead of a buddy sign, it will be a free gift, which is a Background. However, with [[Rockhopper]] the gift was a free eye patch before 2007. It is the same with the [[Gary]], [[Rockhopper]], [[Club Penguin Band|Penguin Band's]] Members, [[Cadence]], [[Aunt Arctic]], [[Rookie]], [[Sensei]], [[PH]], [[CeCe]], [[Rocky]] and [[Herbert P. Bear]]. More recently, you could add mascots as friends.
 
  +
#[[Neck Item]]s
*If you click on your own penguin you will see your [[coin]] amount and you can access your belongings by clicking on the tab, If you click somebody else's player card, you cannot see their coin amount. Instead, it will have other options like looking at their stamps.
 
  +
#[[Face Item]]s
[[Image:Newinterface.png|right|thumb|200px|A proposed update that was supposed to stay available to everyone, but it was full of bugs.]]
 
  +
#[[Head Item]]s
  +
#[[Hand Item]]s
  +
#[[Pin]]s and [[Flag]]s
  +
Certain items, however, may have custom depths, in order to give the player card a more logical look. Those depth attributes only affect the player card display, and items are not affected by them in-game.

In Other items three more categories come up which are Pins/Flags, Awards and Backgrounds.

In addition, all mascots have a level 5 membership.
*Certain items worn by [[Mascots]] change the look of the player card, giving mascots special poses. All mascots also have a level 5 [[membership]] badge.

*There is a glitch where if you click a player's player card and switch to a mascot's very quickly, you can go in the mascot's igloo (igloo must be opened, and the mascot must be in the same room as you).

  +
*On the My Penguin app, there is a glitch where the clothing icons will change into random things such as a Membership badge, or pages of catalogs.
 
  +
*A former glitch allowed opening others' player cards and removing their worn items. Doing so will only be visible to the penguin who does this; the items won't be removed in-game, and clicking that penguin again would refresh its player card, showing the player card in its original state.
==Icons bar==
 
*At the bottom of the player card, there is a special bar with commands. It allows requesting friendships, going to other [[igloo]]s, sending [[postcard]]s, adding a player to the [[Ignore List|Ignore list]], or reporting a player.
 
 
*The buttons in the bar for mascots is disabled, and other players can only add them to their friend list and obtain their background.
 
 
*For a [[penguin]] that opens their own player card, this bar will not be displayed, and instead he/she will see the amount of [[Coin]]s he/she has and the number of his/her [[Stamps]].
 
   
 
==Trivia==
 
==Trivia==
  +
*Before the [[Buddy list]] update in October 2011, the mascots' box icon replaced the friend icon rather than the "?" icon. Before 2007, however, [[Rockhopper]]'s gift was a free [[Eyepatch]], and was obtained via a "wink" icon rather than a box icon.
*Back in 2011, it was thought that the penguins on the player cards would get a new look (see below) but it doesn't seem likely to happen anymore.

Typical playercard

A player card of a penguin with membership.

Each player on Club Penguin had their own personal player card, which contained the name of the player and their penguin image. A player card could be accessed by clicking on a penguin in-game.

Features

All player cards include an image of the player's penguin and the player's name on the top. When a player views their own player card, the amount of coins they have, as well as a button to opening their stamp book, would appear on the bottom. In addition, when someone views their own player card, a button on the right is used to reveal their inventory- which is used to wear and change clothing (including pins and backgrounds). Clothing items can be removed by clicking them on the player card.

Icons bar

When viewing others' player cards, the inventory button and ability to remove clothing are missing. On the bottom of the player card a set of buttons is found, where each one has its own role:

  • Sending a friend request (or removing a friend).
  • Retrieving the player's location (if they are friends with the given player).
  • Going to the player's igloo (if they are friends, or a member that opened their igloo).
  • Sending a postcard.
  • Viewing the stamp book.
  • Ignoring/unignoring a player.
  • Reporting a player.

When viewing others' player cards, their amount of coins is not shown.

Accessibility

There are several standard ways for opening player cards:

  • Clicking a penguin in-game.
  • Clicking a penguin in the Friend List, either in the list of friends or in the incoming requests.
  • Clicking the penguin icon in the toolbar, for viewing the player card of the given user.
  • Clicking a player in the "Like" list in someone's igloo.

Badges

By default, all players have a star icon on the upper-left corner of their player card. Some players (usually fake or "bot" players) do not have a star on their player cards for unknown reasons. If the player is a member, the icon will be replaced with a badge, which changes based on how long the player has been a member.

Order and display

Items are stacked in a specific order in the player card's image. Each item type has its own depth value, where their general order is the following (from back to front):

  1. Backgrounds
  2. Colors and the penguin image
  3. Feet Items
  4. Body Items
  5. Neck Items
  6. Face Items
  7. Head Items
  8. Hand Items
  9. Pins and Flags

Certain items, however, may have custom depths, in order to give the player card a more logical look. Those depth attributes only affect the player card display, and items are not affected by them in-game.

Designs

Player card categories

Newinterface

A proposed update, from CPIP, that was supposed to stay available to everyone, but it was full of bugs.

The CPIP project changed the player card into a new design so that you can find things easily and was sorted into the different clothing categories.

Mascots' player cards

Mascots have a special pose in their player card image, which is determined by the items that they are wearing. When viewing a mascot's player card, most buttons will be disabled. Pressing the friend icon automatically adds the mascot as a friend, and the "?" button, which tells a penguin the location of a friend, is replaced with a box button, which is used for collecting the mascot's autographed background. In addition, all mascots have a level 5 membership.

Transformations

Main article: Transformation

Transformations, commonly available in certain parties, is a feature that allows players to transform from a penguin into something else (such as a puffle, a dinosaur, etc.). As long as the transformation is applied, the player's look would be different on the player card, and it can be turned off by pressing a button on the bottom of the player card.

Introduced in the Beta Team in 2011, a concept art of a redesigned player card was previewed. It hasn't made an appearance since and did not replace the original player card look.

Glitches

  • There was a glitch that if you click your friend that is a non-member on your friends list and a player card will show up, it will show that they are a member.
  • If you open an offline friend's player card from the Buddy List while in your igloo, switch to edit mode and close it, they will appear in your igloo (client side). This glitch has been fixed.
  • There is a glitch where if you click a player's player card and switch to a mascot's very quickly, you can go in the mascot's igloo (igloo must be opened, and the mascot must be in the same room as you).
  • On the My Penguin app, there is a glitch where the clothing icons will change into random things such as a Membership badge, or pages of catalogs.
  • A former glitch allowed opening others' player cards and removing their worn items. Doing so will only be visible to the penguin who does this; the items won't be removed in-game, and clicking that penguin again would refresh its player card, showing the player card in its original state.

Trivia

  • Before the Buddy list update in October 2011, the mascots' box icon replaced the friend icon rather than the "?" icon. Before 2007, however, Rockhopper's gift was a free Eyepatch, and was obtained via a "wink" icon rather than a box icon.
  • Back in 2011, it was thought that the penguins on the player cards would get a new look (see below) but this never happened.
  • On November 27, 2013, the font was changed, however, it was changed once again on November 21, 2014.
  • During beta testing, there was no blue penguin icon on the toolbar. It was a mail icon, the only way to view your own player card during beta testing, was to find and click your penguin.
  • During the Penguin Cup, the bottom of the player card displayed the player's soccer career total.
