On This Day In Club Penguin History – January 15
On the 15th of January Club Penguin has updated in 2009, 2010, and 2015. In 2009 a member only party, the Waddle On Dance a Thon, began. The Dance Contest game was released along with this party and DJ Cadence made her first ever appearance. In 2010 there was a new pin and new furniture and igloo catalogues. In 2015 Club Penguin released a new play page design, a new login screen, a new furniture & igloo catalogue, and updated the igloo music and featured postcards.
2009’s big update on this day was the start of that month’s big party, the Waddle On Dance a Thon. This was an exclusive members only event that took place in the Dance Club. The room was temporarily made accessible only to members. The free item at this event was the Boombox. DJ Cadence was introduced as a mascot for the first time during this party. The Town, Dance Club, Night Lounge, and the special Rooftop room were always crowded with penguins trying to meet her. The Dance Contest game was also introduced at this party.
In 2010 there were three updates. A new pin, the Puffer Fish Pin, was hidden at the Iceberg. This is Club Penguin’s 111th pin overall and is the third pin to have been hidden in that room. In addition to that the furniture and igloo catalogues were updated. The furniture catalogue featured new stone furniture, containing items such as the Stone Couch, Stone Lamp, and Stone Table. The new igloo catalogue containing the brand new Cave Igloo.
The final year with updates on the 15th of January is 2015. The first two updates were noticed when logging in: Club Penguin changed their play page design, giving it a blue background rather than the white background it had since 2005. They also added a new login screen advertising the upcoming Star Wars Rebels Takeover.
Next there was a new furniture and igloo catalogue released. It contained Star Wars themed furniture and the brand new Ezra’s Hideout Igloo. Club Penguin also brought back the Death Star Igloo under a new name, the Imperial Base Igloo.
Alongside the catalogue update Club Penguin also switched out their igloo music track selection with different Star Wars themed ones such as Rebels Theme, Rebel Base, and Tatooine. The featured postcards were updated too, now listing the Ice Rink, Penguins That Time Forgot, Let It Snow, Let’s Explore, Card-Jitsu, and Welcome postcards.
