Credit to Wolfie for helping with “Project Revival.” This is an extremely important post. I want everyone to read it including other army leaders. Basically the post is about having a few war servers for battles instead of the 130+ servers Club Penguin currently has.
Armies aren’t growing like they used to, right? Why is that? Are armies just not as entertaining as they used to be, or have we just not thought about how armies could become more fun? Every army has had some slight falls lately. It could just be from Summer recently ending, or have people just given up on there golden age dreams? But what if there is a way to make armies more fun again. What I’m saying is, is there a way that we could have another Golden Age?
Ever since I’ve taken part in Club Penguin Armies, I have talked to roughly 30 army members from the 2007 Golden Ages. Every single one of them said armies were much more fun back then, and just about all of them say that armies aren’t fun anymore. What if we did go back to just having a war server or possably 2-4 war servers just like the Golden Ages? The whole server owning process is completely POINTLESS considering that there are over 130 servers in Club Penguin. It makes it so the smallest army out there could take over a server from the largest army. I was playing Club Penguin on Mammoth back in 2007 though I wasn’t in an army back then. I will still try to describe Club Penguin Warfare back then though.
From Late 2006- all of 2007 every Club Penguin Player who regularly went on the Mammoth server knew that Mammoth was different from any other server. There was always a war going on on Mammoth. Often even multiple wars. Mammoth had a gigantic fanbase of rogue soldiers and offcial members. There had to have been 100 different armies who occupied Mammoth throughout it’s history. ACP, UMA, RPF, Romans, the Vikings and dozens of other armies would fight on Mammoth. Even the Club Penguin players who did not know these armies had websites were still familiar with the army and the armies leader. Back then battles would go on for hours, and some of the actual “Wars” would go on for months. Mammoth even became a popular base for Club Penguin bloggers, and famous penguins. The Mammoth, Dock would consistenly have 40-50 people at it at a time, and it was a popular base for famous penguins. Even today the Mammoth, Dock still has a small amount of size effect from armies occupying the server 3 years ago.
I was one of the lucky people who was a noob during World War 3 (Watex Warriors V RPF). Even though it didn’t go on for months like the other World Wars, World War 3 was easily the largest war in army history. It occurred in November 2007 for 3 days. The armies that competed were the Watex Warriors, RPF, ACP, Golds, Ice Warriors, Fire Warriors (not the new FW), and believed to be the Nachos/UMA. Since Watex promoted the war WW had 80 troops on the server at a time. RPF, ACP, and every other army would consistently have large amounts too. The war was going on in nearly every room of the server the entire day for 3 days. It was extremely fun, words can’t describe it! Just that 3 day war gave Tundra rogue battles on the server that would happen for months!
Soon after WW3 something called “Nations” happened. Armies decided that having a nation out of all the servers Club Penguin had would be a great idea. It didn’t hurt armies immediately though after awhile the effects were noticed. Wars simply weren’t as fun or as long anymore and government started to take over armies (Not always bad but Government was used the wrong way). I really don’t see the point to server owning unless the army owning bases on servers is gigantic. If an army invades your server is it really going to hurt your army? 9 times out of 10 you eventually get your server back. It’s more fun when you have battles that either make or break your army with wars lasting for months.
I really do think that all the Major/Medium armies should have a meeting about this. I understand that one of the problems may be deciding on war servers. My requests for War Servers would be Mammoth, White House, Sub Zero, and Grizzly though of course were all going to have mixed views.
