CPPS stands for Club Penguin Private Server, and ever since the shutdown of the game in 2017, the community has worked hard to bring back the original, with great success at the beginning, but now it seems to be declining more and more each day, with problems not in the game, but with its developers, moderators, whatever.
Today i want to take you all thru a ride on the history of CPPSs, and what they mean for CPI, as well as what they might mean in the future.
The 1st CPPS
The 1st ever CPPS to come out was called !CPv1, and it was accessed thru a program which was used to cheat on Club Penguin, called Penguin Storm. The game granted its users free membership and was extremely popular. So popular in fact Disney ended up shutting it down due to its popularity and it removing users from the original CP.
Later on, the creator gave away the code, script and more of this CPPS, so many other developers or people could create a CPPS themselves. This would later lead to really popular CPPSs, like CPPS.me.
2010-2017
CPPSs would continue to appear around this time. CPPS.me was the most popular, as you could do various things that you couldnt do in CP (like swearing, getting any item without needing coins, etc). The site slowly lost traffic however.
During 2015 and 2016, CP was putting bad parties, which drove players away from CP into CPPSs. Not only this, but Item Adders were also a huge problem (and still are in CPI to this day, albeit at a slower rate).
The Shutdown
With Club Penguin announcing its closure in the 29th of March, 2017, many people started migrating to a CPPS. The most well known and most succesful CPPS, Club Penguin Rewritten, arose during this time, and with it others like Vintage Penguin, Virtual Penguin etc. All these were done to give its users an old time experience with Club Penguin, and not the bad content from 2015-2017. They were a massive success, and after the shutdown their growth began to rise more and more.
A few months later, CPR ended up with MORE users than CPI, putting to the point that CPI wasnt a good game, as in you need Membership for pretty much anything.
It wasnt about Membership anymore, but rather having fun and keeping a game lots of people loved alive, while giving the best experience possible.
The rise and fall of CPR
As stated before, CPR got so popular that it overthrew CPI in users, but that was only the beginning.
The game was the most popular CPPS period. It was the best and most retro (heh) experience you could have of the old Club Penguin, with old and fan favorite parties being added and revived each month. It was great, and alot of people loved it.
However, by the end of April, Codey, one of the developers, started to harass and threathing other people, even Swatting people just for no good reason. At the end Codey was kicked from the team, and the rest of the team tried to keep up with the servers and users, but to no avail. At the end CPR needed to shutdown.
After it close down, more CPPSs started to pop-up, trying to regain or obtain the fame from CPR players, but some failed and some succeded, like Club Penguin Regen, Generations, Online and more.
CPPSs now
The main reason i wanted to do this was because of the controversies, problems and reasons behind the game. CPR and Codey was only the beginning, but it continued from there.
Games like Club Penguin Generations (or regen. Im sorry i dont remember) got closed due to information outbreaks, where Usernames and Passwords got breached. Another popular and really promising CPPS, called Club Penguin Universe, created by a really popular CP Youtuber, Drivr3Joe, is currently very dangerous as he, HIMSELF, the creator of the game, got kicked by corrupt and bad admins, alongside mods.
With all these problems, i think its better to leave Club Penguin to die, and go play CPI. What started as a fun, waddle on and play games with friends, ended up being and still kinda is, a game where stuff happens in the background that is very dangerous and very bad for everyone.
Another CPPS made by CPR developers, called Pengur, might release this year, or next year. I just hope it can bring back the awesome community of Club Penguin to a better spot.
What do you think about CPPS? Have you ever played one in your life? What are your thoughts on these problems happening? Leave a comment below and it might be featured in a later post.
