Club Penguin Lays Off 28 More Employees

Less than a year after laying off more than 60 employees, Club Penguin has decided to let go of 28 more. The same way that happens when we lost Polo Field, and due to the layoffs, we’ve lost fourmore of Club Penguin’s bloggers: Daffodaily5 from the English blog, Karlapop321 from the Spanish blog, Koa Koralle from the German blog, and Loustik005 from the French blog last year ago, and now this. 

The 28 figure is confirmed, however according to Castanet, a news website for Kelowna and the surrounding areas, a source told them that 28 is the exact number. The article also mentions that it’s possible that more employees will be let go from the California office, as the 28 employees let go on Friday are all from Canada.

Another news website, TechVibes, has a bit more information, albeit unconfirmed. It says that employees from different sections such as QA, programming, and even the art team were let go.

While I’m skeptical about their source of this information, the TechVibes article also states that the employees were let go as Club Penguin no longer needs many people from their 2D team as they are moving towards the 3D version of Club Penguin, which we know as Project Super Secret. The article also goes as far as claiming that PSS will be mobile only. Of course, this is all unconfirmed, and thus I suggest treating it with scepticism for the time begin.

Bye for now,

ST. Patrick Day might be coming to Club Penguin this year!

 

I emailed the Club Penguin Support about the throwback party called St. Patrick Day Party that was being held at the Puffle Party back in 2012, the last time it was around. I was hoping for them to have a throwback party since there will be a Puffle Party this March too. Click on read more to see what they said to me.

Club Penguin To Have Another Puffle Party Next Month

Continuing the tradition, Club Penguin will be holding their annual Puffle Party on the island next month. Megg made the announcement today on the game’s official blog.

Club Penguin February 2016 Mascot Meetup Times For Rookie

A Tiny Bit of Trouble at the Town + New Pin!

Club Penguin Blog: What’s Coming in February

Hey guys!

It’s now February, so to get us hyped Megg has posted her monthly puzzle with key words relating to what’s to come this month! This month we have to unscramble nine phrases.

Check Out These 11 Colourful Unreleased Pins

Hey guys!
Today when Club Penguin updated, they also let loose images of 11 upcoming pins, all of which are puffle related. In fact, all but one of them resemble the berries found in the now nonexistent Puffle Wild game.

Will French Be The Next Language on Club Penguin to Get the Boot?

Back in September, Club Penguin took down the German and Russian versions of the game, and, if history repeats itself, French may be the next one to go.

Last month when Rockhopper was visiting Club Penguin I noticed something kind of strange: Club Penguin gave out meetup times for all the languages except French. Maybe they forgot? Unlikely, but who knows.

Now Gary’s visiting for the Prehistoric Party, and a week into it, and still no sign of meetup times for him in French servers. Only English, Spanish, and Portuguese. There’s more to the overall picture, though. No submitted comments are being approved, either. Trainman1405 tweeted Conige on Twitter about the issues with the language.

@Trainman1405 :-(… and I don’t know if you ‘ve seen that they never approve the comments on the French blog… it’s a big problem!

Club Penguin Blog: The Party That’s Millions of Years in the Making

Hey guys!

3 days ago,  Club Penguin’s Blog Megg made a post about Operation Crustacean/The Prehistoric Party. It’s nothing too important, it’s just about the power source for the UFO and a reminder that alien puffles will be gone soon.
