Club Penguin are planning on launching a British version and i think that the CPIP test servers may be related to this!!!   The British CP HQ will be based in Brighton, England and CP are already advertising job vacancies - how cool would it be to work for CP!!!

 This is what CP had to say about the British version:

“When you look at holidays and events, for example, there are things like Guy Fawkes Night which could be a lot of fun in Club Penguin but we’re not able to focus on now because it’s not celebrated in Canada or the United States where the majority of our current users live,” explains Club Penguin’s Lane Merrifield. “In the British version of Club Penguin we’ll be able to customize the world to create localized in-game events as well as providing local community support which will allow us to better protect the interests and safety of our players.”

“Club Penguin has already attracted a significant audience in the UK with its North American service, but we believe there is a real demand in this market for a safe online community destination for children that has local relevance. With Club Penguin’s success in North America and Disney’s experience and knowledge of the UK market, we believe we are in a unique position to make this a success.”  Commented Cindy Rose, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Walt Disney Internet Group, EMEA.
