A couple of weeks ago a special project got underway in Club Penguin. A number of you may have already heard about it through friends. It’s called the Club Penguin Improvement Project (known as CPIP).

The Club Penguin Improvement Project will help make Club Penguin better, faster and hopefully even more fun! One major part of this project is testing new servers. Those of you who have already joined Server Test have been doing a great job testing the new servers and reporting any bugs you find.

I wanted to remind everyone about it because we are planning a really CRAZY special event for April Fools that is different from the party and will ONLY be on the test servers. I don’t want any of you to miss it!

I don’t want to ruin the surprise so I can’t tell you what it is, but here’s a hint: when you login to Server Test you will see Club Penguin through different eyes! Believe me, we’ve never done ANYTHING like it on Club Penguin before!

If you want to check it out, here’s what to do:

- Go to www.clubpenguin.com/cpip

(to access the page be sure to click on the “eye scanner 3000″

- Sign up for Server Test and login

Everything you need to know about Server Test is there–and I post on the CPIP blog every week.

This special event will only be around today (Friday) between 10 am and 4 pm Penguin Standard Time. So be sure to sign up for Server Test, login and check it out. As always, we love to hear what you think.

What a day! The April Fools Party launched today and there sure is a lot to see! I hope you get a chance to check it out over the weekend. There are tons of hidden surprises all over the island and a lot of the rooms have been redrawn in some really wacky and different styles! Be sure to check out all the different areas! Try getting together with a couple friends and see how many secrets you can find if you work together.

As always, let us know what your favorite part of the party is and even what you’d like to see next time. The party will be around until April 2nd! Have fun!!

In other news: Earlier today we announced a special April Fools event that would take place ONLY on Server Test between 10 am and 4 pm. After hearing from a lot of you about how much fun you were having with it, we decided to extend it! It will be up on Server Test all weekend. To check it out, go to clubpenguin.com/cpip and sign up for Server Test, login and play!

Until then…waddle on!
