As the penguins honouring 2014 as the worst year of Club Penguin because of there disappointing parties and many other things. This year many players feel bored of Club Penguin and even some had given up this year (including me). Club Penguin really needs to fix there past errors and have to come up with something good in 2015 before the water rises over the heads. ClubPenguinSky has listed out 10 things Club Penguin needs to focus in 2015.
1. Parties and Plot Lines
Club Penguin this year was sacked due to it's less decorative parties and in 2013 it was sacked due to hard challenges to obtain free items instead of getting them simply. Club Penguin here seems to get confused where to improve. Players are often getting angry on takeover parties and often on new changes to the parties and wanting the old party returns. As Club Penguin has a busy year ahead as they needs to focus on there mobile platforms and many other things, Club Penguin could be fun with less decorations. All they have to do is make a good plot line. Link events with each other (not all events), instead of introducing new characters they could use old characters who has strong storyline to tell but has been forgotten (Bambadee, Scorn) or for a future party Club Penguin can tease us some hints in game or in Club Penguin specials or shorts (If they are having any) 2-3 months before the party arrives. Example if March party is a medieval party, they could tease Scorn sightings over the island and a article related to it in news paper and a month before next Merry Walrus, if Merry Walrus is seen in telescope coming to Club Penguin as Migrator is showed before Rockhopper arrives, it will create a hype, an excitement in Club Penguin players and instead of renovating island for a party (Liking adding mall instead of stage), just use a little bit of decoration in that place and also for the places which are not going to get decorated at all. But Club Penguin needs to understand Halloween and Holiday (now-a-days Merry Walrus) parties are huge parties as they have been part of Club Penguin since the year one and they are also celebrated all over the globe. They need to give more time to this both parties. And this year introduced mini parties should continue but with good plot lines.
2. Characters
Club Penguin has been introducing new characters lately and then forgetting about them. Merry Walrus and Sasquatch are the latest among them. With more to tell about this characters, Club Penguins has lot of stories to tell about there previous characters too which still are untold. Club Penguin has plenty of characters from good to evil but they're failing in continuing there stories. Example Bambadee, Proto bot, Tusk etc. The most beloved character is Bambadee and there is no sign of him from the ages. Club Penguin should make him meetable character and make him on run like Sasquatch. Club Penguin also have lots of party characters which are mentioned in Club Penguin when there parties are near. (Example Gariwald, Skip, Garugg the Ugg Ugg, Scorn the dragon king etc.) Club Penguin should add books about these characters in Club Penguin times office and should have there reference throughout the year which will make them stay connected with us and more Club Penguin will be expand.
3. Elite Penguin Force
Elite Penguin Force is a trump card of Club Penguin. EPF has always been a success for Club Penguin. Penguins proved it when Operation Blackout shattered all the records. Then in previous year, Club Penguin introduced new type of missions game play, 'in-game missions' which were very much enjoyable like PSA missions but since then they haven't returned. Club Penguin needs to do them more at least once in 2-3 months and if Club Penguin updates there gameplay into #CpNext we could do them again and again whenever we want like we could had done with PSA missions. And Club Penguin should tease us there upcoming in-game mission 1-2 months before they takes place (like strange activities occurring around Club Penguin, a spy phone message regarding this issues and news paper making awareness about some activities.) It would make us excited for future Club Penguin events. When we hear EPF, first thing come to our mind is Herbert. So does in Club Penguin's mind. This has to change this year. Club Penguin has good set of villains. Protobot, Tusk, Skip, Scorn the dragon king, etc. Club Penguin could use them too. I know Herbert is our beloved villain and he could still play larger roles but let others make EPF on run too. Club Penguin could link them together like Herbert creating a team of villians (Example Spiderman's Sinister Six) and this could be the event of the month but one problem with EPF is, they're not keeping themselves a secret identity. Club Penguin should make them more secret. Back in 2011, Club Penguin did a superb job by covering the Operation: Hibernation with the great sled race event. It made us feel EPF secrecy is a real deal. With adding more EPF gadgets and good (sensible) plot lines, EPF can make 2015 year of the Club Penguin.
4. Card Jitsu
Last time we had a new card jitsu game, it was in 2013 and before it we had a new card jitsu game in 2010. Club Penguin is surely taking a long time in developing Card Jitsu games and of course they need time for creating them but I think its now time for another Card Jitsu game. After the disastrous 2014, Club Penguin now needs to strike back and Card Jitsu is the one which can help them. After the release of Card Jitsu Snow, we are left with no amulets to collect but thanks to Club Penguin fans who help them create myths like Rainbow Puffle, Golden Puffle, Ice berg tipping etc. They also came up with Card Jitsu Shadow idea back in 2011. (It wasn't confirm weather the leaks were from Club Penguin files or where fan mades but it seems most of them were fan created, you can get all the information regarding shadow ninja by clicking
here). But to say it was a brilliant idea. Players also accepted the idea with the open hands. Now Club Penguin needs to have a go with this myth and tusk making a return will be cherry on top.
5. Merchandise
2014 was the year where we saw empty shelves of Club Penguin toys at shops. The hype of Club Penguin magazine went down, Club Penguin didn't have 2014 annual yet, no new card jitsu collectible cards, no new treasure book and the drought of 1 year membership cards. All we had was overwhelming 3 months and 6 months membership cards. Club Penguin needs to focus on there merchandises. They should create new line of Club Penguin toys, card jitsu cards with a all new treasure book and by all new means upgrading the catalog by new creativity. The hype for Club Penguin magazine could return by adding more exclusive contents in it, more exclusive free items and most important is making it available in more countries. Club Penguin should distribute more 1 month membership cards instead of 3-6 months and a new wii or Ds game could make a cherry on top. Club Penguin EP 'The Party Starts Now' was released in 2013 and was a great success and by now Club Penguin has enough of singles to release there next EP. They can release a new EP this year around the Music Jam which can make profits for Walt Disney records if promoted well. But the main problem is there stuffs being available in only certain countries. Club Penguin recently made there stuffs available in Mexico. They needs to do that more. Many kids are eagerly waiting for Club Penguin merchandise to become available in there countries for years. (Like me in India). So they should discuss with Disney about this. At lest adding them online could be best if they think it's a risk to do.
6. Outside the Game
Club Penguin had a short run of there shorts on Disney channel in year 2012-2013 and then last month Club Penguin made a return to our T.V screens with there Christmas special 'We Wish You A Merry Walrus". This is the platform where the Club Penguin could attract new audiences. Back when the shorts aired on Disney Channel, my cousins saw them and requested me to create a penguin for them. They joined joined Club Penguin and played it for a short period. Creating more content for T.V can make the older players re-join Club Penguin and the current players excited but I think Club Penguin shouldn't go with stop motion as they take long time to create and now are old fashioned. I'd love to see 22 minutes long episode runs on Disney Channel. Club Penguin has strong stroy lines, the show can become Disney's next Phineas and Ferb. Club Penguin has a spy agency, a good villian, pirates, ninjas, good characters and much more. The show is a win-win for Disney but if they are not interested, short runs between the breaks are also accepted but they need to make a long season. At least around 13 episodes.
7. Mini updates
Club Penguin had brought heavy changes to the island in past years but it was just renovating. Club Penguin should add mini changes to the places around Club Penguin like they could add another telescope on ski hill so we can see other part of Club Penguin (we had fixed a telescope in a PSA mission). They should update the cove's binocular's vision (It is the only thing old in the newer Club Penguin). Club Penguin should do something to make collecting stamps more fun as this year saw a huge let down in stamps. No new stamps even we had two permanent mascots. Upgrade the postcard system. Adding more books in the Club Penguin times office. New books about new myths using the characters like Gariwald, Skip, Garugg the Ugg Ugg, Scorn the dragon king, etc and maybe a Rockhopper's adventures book. Club Penguin could be more creative and can do something more. Club Penguin could add an extra paper to the club penguin times. Have some new stage plays. Add some little things to the places or perhaps they could add some extra snow.
8. Myths
Everyone knows Club Penguin is more fun because of the myths. We had Director identity, Golden Puffle, Rainbow puffle myths which were mysteries for years and were finally revealed in previous years. Now its time to create more myths and reveal more myths. The current Club Penguin myths are Rockhopper island, Ice-berg tipping and Card Jitsu shadow. Club Penguin needs to reveal at least one myth to wash away there 2014's sins and also Club Penguin should start plotting more myths for future.
9. Penguins the Explorers
This year Club Penguin should take us beyond our beloved island. Club Penguin needs to bring another Rockhopper Quest where we could go on search for new islands, treasures! Club Penguin can also let us explore the wilderness of Club Penguin or explore the beneath of Club Penguin, or maybe in the mountains of Club Penguin, etc. That kind of brown Puffle cave expedition needs to happen more.
10. #CpNext
In 2013, Club Penguin revealed there plans of making computer Club Penguin interphase change into mobile device 3D game interphase (This movement was called CpNext) which was met with a huge drama in Twitter community because of the servers problems but as Polofield once said in a tweet, most of them don't know what they are saying. Exactly! Club Penguin knows servers are important part of Club Penguin as they help penguins hosts party, meetups and let them get together with friends. They know it and they will surely come up with something. If they solves this problem, Club Penguin could become a lot more enjoyable. We can have 3D shapes, 3D puffles, new lookout and as said above about EPF in-games missions. But it seems impossible this year as Club Penguin just launched Club Penguin on Android and now the work has increased to maintain Club Penguin on web, iOS and Android. But if Club Penguin pulled off CpNext this year after a disaster year, all there sins can be forgotten.
After the disastrous 2014 year, Club Penguin now needs to save there sinking migrator. With adapting some of there old ways and mixing them with new ideas can create a delicious cake for Club Penguin. What do you think? Did you feel an excitement reading the post?
