Here is Billybobs most recent posting on the CPIP blog:
March and April have sure been exciting months on CPIP, but I think May will be just as exciting because that’s when the launch of some NEW features for Club Penguin is planned!
Launching the new servers last week definitely kicked things off in the right direction–they’re stronger than old servers which means we can push them a lot harder and do some new things that wouldn’t have been possible before!
Most of the new features will be launched in May, but I just found out that one will be launched early next week! It’s definitely something a lot of you have been suggesting for a long time and something that we wanted to make sure we did properly.
On Tuesday, April 29 everyone will be able to play Club Penguin in “Big Screen”! When you login to Club Penguin after April 29, you can change the size of Club Penguin by adjusting your browser window size!
You may remember one of my posts last month telling you about the proposed British version of CP. Well guess what!?! the UK offices are now open and the best bit is they are having a party to celebrate at London Zoo on 3rd may!!! gonna try my hardest to be there!!!
This is what Billybob had to say:
‘There are kids from around the world that play Club Penguin and this month we opened a Club Penguin office in the UK. We love hearing from all of you and decided it would be a really good idea to have a team totally dedicated to that in the UK.
To celebrate the opening of the office, there is a special event planned at the ZSL London Zoo at the beginning of May. For those of you who live in the London area, and want to check it out, here are the details you need to know:
When: May 3, 11 a.m - 4 p.m.
Where: ZSL London Zoo
Who: Everyone is invited
What: Free access to the zoo, a chance to feed real penguins, and lots of activities (I heard there might even be a ‘best penguin costume’ contest)’
GRRRRRRRRRR………. so much for the new improved website! I can’t log on at all this evening and i know others are having the same problem - this really is annoyin - come on CP get your act together and get it sorted!!!!!!
The eagerly awaited free item for those of us who took part in the CPIP test still isn’t available 
This is what billybob said on the CPIP blog yesterday:
This is what billybob said on the CPIP blog yesterday:‘Some of you are probably wondering when you’ll get the ‘reward’ for helping with Server Test. Don’t worry, it hasn’t been forgotten about but it can’t be delivered quite yet! We need one of the new features to make it happen. I’ll have more info about it next week!’
As soon as i know more i will let you know - i’m sure it will be worth the wait!
Finally the new look CP website and servers have been launched! this is what the new home page looks like:

CP are planning even more improvements so keep checking out the CPIP blog to make sure you stay up to date with whats happening: http://community.clubpenguin.com/cpip/
The new look CP web site is being launched today!!! Can’t wait to see what improvements have been made and also looking forward to claiming my free item for taking part in the CPIP testing. Unfortunatley while the new site is being uploaded we cant play (boo hoo ) but it should be up and running again at 3pm Penguin Standard Time. Here’s the message you get if you try to log in before then:
Hey penguins,
This is Medner! The cpip site has been closed. So dont waste your time trying to log on. Also, this is the most exciting part! Club penguin will be giving away a free item for everyone who tested! Nobody knows what it will be, but i will tell you this, im 99% sure it wont be the pink and yellow beta hat. The item will not be available until the new site is launched on 14th April - can’t wait to find out what it will be and how we get to recieve it !!
Dont forget to check out www.clubpenguin.com/cpip/ for updated info on the new web design.
Hey penguins,
This is medner! If you have been on the cpip site (club penguin improvment project), any free items dont show on your player card! The items I can’t see are the green bunny ears, the St. Patricks day hat, and the book pin. If you have not noticed it already, go check it out and see for yourself.
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.

I noticed that the time on the clock in the snowforts on the test server showed a different time to the clock on the regular servers. i reported this to CP as i wanted to know which clock to use so as not to miss the party which was to start at 4.15pm PST. this is what Billybob had to say:
RINKATINK said
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT ABOUT THE PARTY!!!! THE SNOWFORTS CLOCK ON TEST SERVER IS DIFFERENT TO SNOW FORTS CLOCK ON NORMAL CP!!!! WHICH TIME DO WE USE TO KNOW WHEN THE PARTY WILL START????? DONT WANT TO MISS IT!!!!!
BillyBob said Thanks for pointing that out! The clocks in the test are wrong and are being fixed right away. PLEASE USE THE NORMAL CP TIME IN THE REGULAR GAME!
OMG!!! This was posted on the CPIP blog yesterday…….sounds like its gonna be awsum !!!!
“
Last night the test servers were swamped with penguins wearing Beta hats and other rare items…..all of which had been downloaded from a website (which i will not give details of here). The only items which a penguin can wear on the test server are those purchased from the current catalogs so it is obvious who the naughty little penguins are!!! i hope you are not one of them as Billybob had now asked us all to report any penguin seen wearing a rare item on the test server. Those who get reported will face being banned!!!!
Billybob has also let us know that the only “staff” that log into the test server on a regular basis are himself, rsnail, gizmo, and screenhog. So beware of imposters!!!!
If you want to meet the infamous Billybob then nows your chance!!! He seems to be visiting the test servers several times a day and as there are only two you have a good chance of bumping into him….i’ve seen him three times in 24 hours!!! A lot of the other famous pengs are visiting too so you never know who you might see……
Everyone who is testing out the new servers is keen to know if there will be some sort of free item (like the old beta hats on the original test site). This is CP’s response is to that question:
BillyBob said Thanks for getting the word out! As for the item, I can’t promise anything, but we’ll see how it goes. We might do something special afterwards as a “thank you.”
So watch this space!!!
There is a glitch on the test server - if you wear the soccer outfit and click your player card you will see that its kinda in the wrong place!!! Take a look at these pics of me and Medner…..lol!!!!
Well i managed to log Rinkatink onto the CPIP test site and visited both of the new servers!!! you start off from scratch with a naked penguin and basic igloo….BUT….they give you 20,000 coins to start off with!!! Woo hoo!!! you have no buddies either so you get to start your list all over which is great fun - i got GATOR360 and NINJANEAL on my buddy list now!!! dont know how long they will keep me on it tho……
Look out for the CP test guides who are wandering around - they will answer your questions and you can add them as your buddies too!!
