Club Penguin Research Paper

Club Penguin Club Penguin is an online game that was first made on October 24, 2005 and will be finally shutting down this year on March 29, 2017. This is a game where you basically do what its slogan says which is to "Waddle Around and Meet New Friends". But in the game you are able to get pets known as puffles in the game and are able to play various minigames. Some of the mini games is doing missions as a secret agent, going fishing, playing a ninja card game, and many more to do. Club Penguin is also owned by Disney, but Club Penguin still says most of the things they are going to do.
So for the first reason why its shutting down is that a lot of people have stopped signing in the game and just have stopped playing it. Now you might

Club Penguin has been around for around 12 years now and has basically been the same. Sure the site might get a few updates here and there but there not the biggest and only give you a few tasks to do. Even then if you aren't a VIP you cant do everything the update has to offer so its not as fun for people who don’t have a membership. So if they don’t have a membership they wont be as motivated to do the event because they wont be able to do most of the things others can do. Therefore they are making the game less enjoyable for most of the players and only really making it fun for people with memberships.
The 3rd reason why Club Penguin is shutting down is because they are going to work on there new project known as Club Penguin Islands which is only for mobile devices.Club Penguin islands is basically the same concept but with way more customable stuff than Club Penguin. Which I think might be pretty cool idea, but they are hurting a lot of people since they had so may memories with Club Penguin. So I don’t know why there shutting down club penguin and should just kind both since they would probably make more money than what they are making

So the game has gotten pretty old and boring, but they could change that with updates to the game. They have been doing updates but they were more of just events that would only last a certain time and go back to how the game was before. Then this time they would make a huge update with a lot of more thing to do such as more game modes and activities to do with friends which would make it way more fun then it already is and would probably bring in more people and bring it the older kids who used to play the game.
For the third problem, its not really a problem, but its easily avoidable as well. This is because they could just keep both the games instead of just abandoning Club Penguin and going to Club Penguin Islands so they could kept everyone happy. Especially ever since Club Penguin was announced to be shut down mostly everyone was sad and mad because they had so many past memories on Club Penguin and will hate to see it go. Even now if you go onto the website you will see a lot of people saying "No please don't shut it down" and similar phrases to that hoping that they won't shut down they fun and memorable

    We really needed those new members. They brought with them a positive attitude to the whole situation. I could see then we were giving in too easily, but that did not mean we could make miracles happen. I’d love to say, “And with their help we raised enough money for everyone to go to Washington D.C, and we had a blast,” but that not exactly what happened. The new members and the old members all came to the same conclusion that a trip to D.C was too expensive and in the end only a few members would be able to go with what we raised.…

    The goal of Boys & Girls Clubs is: “to provide a world-class Club experience that assures success is within reach of every young person who walks through our doors, with all members on track to graduate from high school, on time, with a plan for the future.” As a Club staff with little weight behind me to support this goal, it makes me a stone’s throw away from being labeled a hypocrite when I almost didn’t graduate from high school, let alone have a plan for the future. My childhood wasn’t glamorous enough to brag about, nor was it full of grief-stricken struggles that would warrant a tug at any heartstrings. It was simple. I grew up with both of my parents and my brother who was 4 years my senior.…
