Welcome to the Club Penguin Archives.
This is a text version of the step by step walkthrough of how Club Penguin started and became what it is today.
______________________
Let’s Start from the Very Beginning…..
Experimental Penguins
Contrary to Popular Belief, Penguin Chat was not the first game to inspire Club Penguin. In fact, it was the result of an inspiration from Experimental Penguins. Color Choosing and Chatting. Simple. It didn’t stay up that long before Penguin Chat came.
Once Upon a Time…… Rocket Snail?
In a time before Club Penguin existed, there was only a site called RocketSnail. There, the average teenage (or kid) Internet addict could find and play online games, such as Mancala and Find Four. Also included was a game that would evolve into Club Penguin, Penguin Chat. Penguin Chat is pretty much what the name hints: a Chat where Penguins could….. Chat. Not so difficult to understand, eh?
However, there were some differences. One, you could become a Ninja (if you found the secret ninja penguin, that is.) Cool, huh? (Waiting for the Day when Ninjas would Come to CP. *cough cough*)

OMG It's the Ninja Pengu of Doom!
But that’s Ancient History, Isn’t It?
Rocket Snail Closed Down, and they Moved Everything to Club Penguin.
A New Beginning?
Once they got the servers set up and all, Club Penguin began the beta testing for the actual game. Beta Testers received one month free membership, a beta hat (pink and yellow), and coins.
Guess What? The Beta Hat is so rare now, that people would give anything for one!!! Even Me! xD
On October 24, 2005…… Club Penguin went LIVE!
It was a hit. They started out with about 15,000 players, but it reached more than a million by March next year. *whistles* Talk about growth!

Good Job but your missing some facts.
