Club Penguins Popularity 2010 - 2016

Share it Please
I've decided to make a blog post on CP's popularity. This is a debatable subject a lot of people have different opinions. Many wonder "Has CP gotten more or less popular in the last 6 years." I'm going to figure it out and hopefully by the end, I can give you some what of an answer! Let's start:

Let's compare what servers looked like in 2010:

This was from December 2010. At the time Club Penguin was still adding new servers, which was exciting. As you can see, nearly every server was close to being filled up. I did some research and found out during this year, Club Penguin had around 19 events/ parties in total. Some being first ever parties, storms, and celebrations. 5 years of Club Penguin, it was a huge year. Not to forget they added stamps around that year too. A mix of popular penguins we're around aswell. I believe Club Penguin was still considered popular and was gaining popularity at this time. Let's bump up 3 years and see what 2013 servers look like!

Let's compared what servers looked like in 2013:

This was from May 2013. As you can tell there's definitely a big difference from the servers 3 years later. I did some research and, there was about 18 events/ parties. There was a couple big parties like the Hollywood Party! From memory, I can recall a lot of penguins disliking 2013 because of all their takeovers. Personally, having more than 2 takeovers was a lot but I didn't really have a problem. If we had a party, I was fine! Now looking at it, its popularity went down after a lot of things we're removed. Innocent Smoothies, Recycling Center, Merchandise, and Magazines. That being a lot of penguins joined the Club Penguin community. Also a lot of penguins quit during that period of time, or became inactive. So yes, I think a few years later their popularity has went down. Let's jump forward another 3 years to how Club Penguin looks right now!

Let's compare what servers looked like in 2016:

This was from April 2016. Well... This is upsetting. Nearly every single server is considered empty, Blizzard and Iceberg are still the most popular servers nowadays. It's crazy to think how empty servers have gotten in the last 3 years. I recall the servers staying like this since 2014. Throughout the years Club Penguin has thrown a lot of mini parties, takeovers, and traditional parties. A lot of older players have grown out of Club Penguin and a fortune are in College. Thinking about it... 6 years forward yes, indeed Club Penguin's popularity has went down a lot! But maybe it's going to be popular again:

2016 is a brand new year, maybe even the biggest year for Club Penguin EVER!
For the last few years Club Penguin has been working on PSS ( Project Super Secret). This could most likely completely change Club Penguin. Some say it's going to be mobile, others say it's going to be 3D web. I don't know what to expect and most of us don't know when it's coming. Lately we've had quite a few older players coming back, and stopping by. Why? Well we aren't sure but it's not a bad thing. Surprisingly we've had a lot of newer penguins joining the community, which is wonderful since throughout the months before there wasn't really any new penguins joining. Could this be a sign that we might be witnessing PSS soon, I think so! I hope you enjoyed this post! Feel free to comment below any questions you have! That's all from me today!
