Club Penguin is shutting down and everyone is sad
You might want to sit down: The original Club Penguin game
is going away.
The developers of the Disney-owned online game confirmed
Tuesday it will shut down the 11-year-old Club Penguin on March 29 to make way
for a new experience — Club Penguin Island — launching on desktop
computers and mobile devices. Players can transition to the new game when it
launches just before the original game closes.
A huge virtual party will kick off February 1 and run
through Club Penguin's close, and memberships will shut down as of Tuesday.
However, any paid members will still enjoy the full experience through the shut
down.
"We are deeply grateful for your time and enthusiasm
since the beginning, and we’d like to thank each and every one of you in the
Club Penguin community – we can’t wait for you to see what’s coming next,"
reads a statement from Club Penguin's creators.
The shut down marks the end of an era for the original Club
Penguin, which launched in 2005. It was a social massively multiplayer online
game aimed at kids, allowing them to explore a snow-covered virtual world as
penguins. The game operated independently until 2007, when it was acquired by
Disney.
Boasting an 11-year run, Club Penguin had plenty of time to
amass a fan base, and they are very sad.
