Breaking News: The Walt Disney Company — commonly known as Disney — has reportedly enhanced the price of Memberships on Club Penguin. According to Club Penguin, One Month Memberships will soon be available for $7.95 (originally $5.95). Furthermore, Six Month Memberships will be priced at $39.95 (originally $29.95) and 12 Month Memberships will carry a standalone price of $69.95 (originally $57.95).
Ok? I’m not buying what Club Penguin has offered in response to raising Membership Prices. Why? I’ll tell you why — lets get started:
1. Did we really need Club Penguin to add three new languages: French, Spanish, and Portuguese?
No. Before Disney’s purchase of Club Penguin, the Island only had English Servers — and at that time, I, as well as many others, never saw the need for Club Penguin to expand into several new languages. Nevertheless, Club Penguin launched French, Portuguese, and Spanish Servers — all of which appear to be a bad investment for Club Penguin. I do find the Spanish Servers to be quite useful, as I acknowledge that quite a few users speak Spanish (myself included). But Portuguese and French?
2. Did we really need new Moderators on Club Penguin? What about new Staff Members?
Because Club Penguin already has a Ban Filter in place, I don’t think we need new Moderators to help moderate the Island. I mean, they DO treat us like babies, so I guess they need those extra moderators to ban Penguins for a laugh? I am sure we need new Staff Members — even so the company has laid off several workers.
3. If you really need more money, why donate millions of dollars to Charitable Projects?
Wow! I really don’t understand why Club Penguin donates millions of dollars to Charitable Projects when they themselves are apparently not doing well (from a rich person’s standpoint). I learned last week that Club Penguin laid off several workers (though I’m sure the Walt Disney Company ordered the said layoffs).
4. Hmm… why do we have so many unused servers on Club Penguin? Seriously?
I remember a time when logging on to Club Penguin was nearly impossible as each and every server appeared to be FULL (this was when Club Penguin was popular). I am now surprised (not really) to see several empty servers on Club Penguin — and when I say several, I’m talking two or three pages of empty servers (French, Portuguese, English, and Spanish).
5. I hate Field Ops. I really miss the PSA (Penguin Secret Agency) on Club Penguin and Missions. Do you?
Field Ops. I am guessing that Disney can no longer afford to make New Missions on Club Penguin? Field-Ops are basically Short and Easy Missions on Club Penguin. I would love to see a Mission 12 on Club Penguin, but I doubt we will.
6. Nothing New — Same Parties and Events? I want to see New Parties, what about you?
I am sick and tired of seeing the same Parties and Events on Club Penguin. The Music Jam Party ends today, and I haven’t really seen anything different from last year’s Music Jam. Later in July, we will have the Island Adventure Party — which also happened to be sponsored on the Island Last Year! I mean, I pay $5.95 a month (soon to be $7.95/m) for a party I’ve already seen. Brilliant, Club Penguin! Just Brilliant!
I would love to continue my standpoint on why raising the price of Membership on Club Penguin seems to be unbearable, but I’ve got better things to do on Independence Day. I may wrap this up at a later date, though I doubt I’ll find the time to do so. In an email to Club Penguin, I addressed several concerns: Email to Club Penguin Addressing Several Bugs, Concerns. I have a follow-up to that article here: Club Penguin Addresses Several of Waddles16139 Concerns.
