Membership Gone Too Far?

[Agent Pointy]

Hi Guys! As most of you will know, the latest party, Music Jam, has changed things around for members. Us non-members are not allowed the Penguin Bandbackground, and we are also not allowed in the secret room! A.K.A Backstage. But do any of you penguins out there think that this is taking it a bit too far? Now i know that members pay to get privelidges, but since when have backgrounds been for members only? And the room?!? Members already get to buy things, have furniture, more puffles, and hair! But i mean come on, please discuss and feel free to say that members deserve everything they get, its a free opinion!

EDIT: You guys wanna know what i voted for? NO! ok! so please stop posting just to say what an idiot i am, i just wanted to know you guys opinion!

[Steve Green]

Well its only a background. Paying 6 dollars a month should give members a little advantage. They probably want to motivate people to get membership. ;)

[Playa4ever]

Well its only a background. Paying 6 dollars a month should give members a little advantage. They probably want to motivate people to get membership. ;)

I agree with you. To be honest, I think members should get more than what they actually do. If anyone plays Runescape around here, then you'll know how many more features the members have on that game than what the non-members do. They get loads more! So I really don't know what you are complaining about. This is like their first member party in over a year and I think they deserve it too.

[Zmac93]

I used to be a member, and am now a non-member... and personally I don't care. Really, it's their right. They pay REAL money for fake things, it's the least Club Penguin could do. I'm sure it's nothing special. I was at the lime green color party, and that was just some worthless things like a paint can and green paint, I believe. But you'll probably be able to get into the room later.

[Scotty]

I agree with you. When I joined Club Penguin, there was a fun thing about membership. Once it finished, you could wear items you owned, but not buy any more. Ever since the disney entertainment/community came in, you couldn't have the possibility. I know that problem for sure. I can't help but think Club Penguin will go down one day by a stronger, yet, kinder game; which membership works in an appropriate cycle. And by the membership "referral" background, people are getting much more memberships now, and it's all going to Club Penguin, a game that doesn't use it to find cures for cancer, diabetes and those other problems. I am going to contact Club Penguin, enforcing that the Membership money they earn goes to cures. This will, yet keeping more alive, make Club Penguin a happy, enjoyable, kind, enviremont. Then I would play MUCH more than I normally do (10 minutes).

[jrj2k8]

if we play then we should get mroe things than usual ;)

[7irish Lad07]

offtopic:I was about to post that but i guess you bet me to it.

ontopic:Yep, I just got membership on runescape and I can't even keep track of the members features

[Snappyguy928]

Hi. It's a stinking background that about 20% of the members will get that is a redesign of a free one for everyone. Stop crying that you can't afford to send them money.

[Game Lord]

It is perfectly fair for members to get all of this, and non-members not to. Club Penguin is not obliged to let non-members play at all: they are simply being nice by letting them play in an interactive world where you can chat, make friends, hang out and play mini-games. As if that wasn't enough, they even give everyone, including non-members, lots of updates, newspapers, access to a blog; you take all of this for granted. To put is simply: You're lucky Club Penguin let's non-members play at all, considering that they don't pay any money at all. Don't expect more from them unless you pay money.

Yours sincerely,
Game Lord

[Bad Boy]

I have to say that members deserve even more than just this. That's why I have not become a member. Members deserve more, this is definitely not enough. I disagree with you.

Your poll is slightly confusing so I chose the 'Members should get all that stuff' option and should get even more than what they already have.

[monxide303]

LOL so if they have a backround for members only of chris crocker you will want it???? if you dont like it stop playing because nothings gonna happen if you cry about it......

[Ryancol]

Thread # 10,876,321 on unfair member privileges 'sigh'

Just pay for a month and quit crying.

This game is not free!

[Samwesty999]

If non-members are unhappy they only have to pay $6/$3 a month. Its not much if you make good use of your membership. It is only 20 cents/10 pence per day, I am sure you can find this amount of money on the street each day.

[Basketcase1]

It's not going too far, members pay to keep Club Penguin running, therefore they should get things, after all, without members, CP wouldn't be as good as it is. So you shouldn't be complaining and stop making all these threads about things being not fair, when it is because members are keeping CP running, they should get more, if you want these things then pay for it, like all the members are. When I asked my mum to bea member, she said yes because it's only like £2 per month or something like that.

[blingstr]

I have been playing club penguin for about 2 years now and im used to members getting all the extra things, it really annoyed me at first but now i just get on with it. Besides if members rub in their super awsome coolness new background the jokes on them because almost every other member in club penguin has that background and i have the original rare band background from years ago :P

[kogeck]

I'm a non member and I see nothing wrong with that party.

[Happlecot]

Listen guys, you have to look at it this way. We just happen to be on our computers one day, looking for a free game that's actually fun. We found that game, and indeed it was free. Some people liked the game enough that they were willing to pay for an even better time! We DO NOT PAY ANYTHING, yet we recieve so much! There is no reason for non members to get upset, or be angry. We need to appreciate what we have. Making a thread about it isn't going to put a stop to anything. I also agree with Bad Boy, and Game Lord the most here.

[StarSkie]

Everyone keeps whining about the back stage
all it has is a couch, TV, box of pizza, and a catalog.
I'm a member and i have been in there twice so far.

[Yamadog27]

They got plent of thing like clothes,igloo,furniture,open igloos,all sorts of stuff now wtheey get the first member only background.This is insane

yeah but they get the background and bass guirtar back there...

But the bass guitar is for members it's
in a catalog! So stop your whining!
I'm sorry but i thought i would never say that.

[Doxinator]

I think that non members should have access to all rooms and backgrounds because they have been able to for a while but just cant pick up or buy the stuff like the lime green cape

[StarSkie]

I think that non members should have access to all rooms and backgrounds because they have been able to for a while but just cant pick up or buy the stuff like the lime green cape
And the life ring. I had the same fealing i wasn't
A member when that came out.

[Yamadog27]

I'm sorry but i thought i would never say that.

Well it shouldn't it should be a free item thaat members and non-members can get.Member have plenty of privledges.

[biodue123]

well, it is just a background, so i dont really care, but some member things are preaty stupid, like mem and nonmem fights are all over cp, so, i voted no ;)

[StarSkie]

Well it shouldn't it should be a free item thaat members and non-members can get.Member have plenty of privledges.
I'm not saying you shouldn't have a great free item
i was hoping that bass was for non-members too.
But it turned out to be a member item.
:| Clubpenguin

[Chinstrap]

Guys! All this over a background and a kind of lame room where all the annoying penguins <3 each other and "shampoo hair, apply blush" all the time!? Dude! The room isn't that great!:| It's filled with idiots! The background for members only, however, I find to be kind of a stretch. Perhaps CP could use some more money and needs to get more memberships. Don't get all mad at CP because they have always tried to make it fair. I mean, they have given out a lot of shirt items lately because they know that you like them. So just give them a chance and maybe it will get better.

[Puppy Love64]

When I payed 6 dollars a month for a year, i regreted it. You get a few more features, but not much more. I could get an old used game for 6 dollars. You complaint is just one of the many thousands in the world who just cry over a game, cause they can't buy a new igloo or clothes.

Hey, atleast CP is for non-members too. Cause it could only be for members, so be happy.

[Guanlong]

They got plent of thing like clothes,igloo,furniture,open igloos,all sorts of stuff now wtheey get the first member only background.This is insane.

Well, the bass guitar is a catalogue item, don't need to whine about it. :|

Hi, hi, I'm Scotty and I have never heard of Coins For Change! :|


STOP WHINING

[xnatasha]

Yeah, it is fair.
Members pay almost 6 dollars a month, for the game.
They should have many more advantages than normal players.
I think that is only fair,

[Blobbitybloo]

Yeah, it is fair.
Members pay almost 6 dollars a month, for the game.
They should have many more advantages than normal players.
I think that is only fair,

I agree. The Music Party is like a member party, but nonmembers (like myself) get two free items and can enjoy the decorations.

[Makarov]

I don't really care. I saw the backstage on my friend's account, so it doesn't bug me.

[Bill Rimers]

No. They pay you don't. Either cough up the money or get over it.

[Ovechguin 8]

I think all these "Members get to much stuff, its not fair" threads should be locked because all they end up in is a big argument...

btw, I dont really care because atleast non-members get some things, we dont need everything...

[worldking01]

I agree with you. To be honest, I think members should get more than what they actually do. If anyone plays Runescape around here, then you'll know how many more features the members have on that game than what the non-members do. They get loads more! So I really don't know what you are complaining about. This is like their first member party in over a year and I think they deserve it too.

Yea but in Runescape, the Non-Members got cloths and that stuff.



I think that the Membership should be taken farther. I am starting to think of the Non-member activists as Hippys.

[Howlett14]

No. They pay you don't. Either cough up the money or get over it.



This is what I dont like about this party...it has turned members against non members...neglecting them, mocking them, putting them down...it doesnt bother me that i cant get a background or see inside a room...it bothers me that just because people pay 6 dollars for a pixeled game, that they become superior to non members...in my opinon non members are the bigger people for putting up with the constant rejection and bullying from the members...and for what 6 dollars?:mad:

[gamecrazy]

not to start a fight or anything but i thought that too when i was a non-member then i bought it and now i don't think we get enough so i am enjoying the backstage.

Also the reason why club penguin is not just for members is so that way non-members can test it out and see how they like it first then that way they would get more people to buy membership. also i voted "members should get all of this"

[guamdude]

I think six dollars a month should get members that stuff, personally I dont think the background should have only been for members. But hey, it's what they pay for. I think all the members get too much crud is annnoying. They pay to keep CP alive!

[Chinstrap]

personally I dont think the background should have only been for members. But hey, it's what they pay for. I think all the members get too much crud is annnoying. They pay to keep CP alive!

Yes! That's what I think too! It really bugs me when people say that I and other members should not get as much stuff and say that they don't like us because I and other members are the ones who give money to CP so there can still be a game!:mad: If it wasn't for the "horrible" members, there would be no CP! -_-

[Guanlong]

Yea but in Runescape, the Non-Members got cloths and that stuff.

but in CP, penguins also get free items...

Omg! Puffle power! :scary:

You know what I find annoying?People thinking that all members are a bunch of idoits who run around making fun of non's because they don't have the extra features members do and if you want those features don't wine about it just pay for them!
And if your being bullied because your not a member just go on to a different server!

[Tammika]

Guys, Calm down. Please.

BTW, It is quite fair for members to get all their privileges. I got over being a non member but, CP needs money from paying members. Without money, oh well, CP will close and CP will lose its so-called popularity... :( I do not want CP to close.......

[Powdinet]

I agree with you. To be honest, I think members should get more than what they actually do. If anyone plays Runescape around here, then you'll know how many more features the members have on that game than what the non-members do. They get loads more! So I really don't know what you are complaining about. This is like their first member party in over a year and I think they deserve it too.

I was about to say this. But Members in Runescpae dont get most things, they get EVERYTHING.

[Pengumaniac4]

Well as much as I've said it alot, I'll say it again.
It costs $5.00 each month for membership, With this you can edit your igloo, Buy a puffle, Buy items and Buy a igloo, So if you really think about it $5.00 is worth it if you enjoy the game.

[Mikepain911]

I think I get why non-members ar upset. Non-members just have to keep in mind that members haave not had there own sort of 'members only party' in the longest while. I guess they are getting the feeling that they are getting left out. Less gloating from members would also help the situation.

[Blue_Rush]

Im a member and I say NON MEMBERS SHOULD GET MOOR STUFF!

[Game Lord]

Im a member and I say NON MEMBERS SHOULD GET MOOR STUFF!

Have you got any reasoning for that? I've seen plenty of good reasons around this thread and others why non-members should be quite happy with what they've got, and no reasons why non-member should get more that have not been refuted - if a non-member has argued a reason that has not been refuted, please quote it and I will take it into consideration. However, as far as I have seen, non-members do not deserve more than they get. Here is a quote from my previous post in this thread:

"It is perfectly fair for members to get all of this, and non-members not to. Club Penguin is not obliged to let non-members play at all: they are simply being nice by letting them play in an interactive world where you can chat, make friends, hang out and play mini-games. As if that wasn't enough, they even give everyone, including non-members, lots of updates, newspapers, access to a blog; you take all of this for granted. To put is simply: You're lucky Club Penguin let's non-members play at all, considering that they don't pay any money at all. Don't expect more from them unless you pay money."

I can give you plenty of other reasons why non-members should be happy with what they have, and do not deserve more; in fact, I can think of 17 on the spot, and I'm sure I could come up with 20 more given time to think. On the other hand, I cannot come up with a reason why non-members should get more - at least, not a reason that I can't think of an easy refutation to. If you can think of a reason why non-members should get more, instead of just stating that they should, then post it.

Yours sincerely,
Game Lord

[Guardian Ou]

Omg not this again.

Guys, it's just $5.00 U.S. dollars for membership. Earn your own money in real life and buy it if you want all that clothing.

[Happlecot]

Omg not this again.

Guys, it's just $5.00 U.S. dollars for membership. Earn your own money in real life and buy it if you want all that clothing.
Seriously. I can find that in the couch. I would have a membership of my own if I REALLY felt I wanted one. I have five dollars in coins, the only problem with that is payment issues because I don't have a credit card or paypal.

[Chandru]

There's never going to be a such thing as membership going "too far". By paying, they have the right to get any priviledges. Even if the Club Penguin Staff came to each member's door and kissed their feet, it wouldn't be going to far, because I would consider it a benefit of membership.

[flippysam]

well cp cant give all that stuff away for free, its what your paying for when you become a member

[connora]

I just answered a thread like this the other day :O
I was arguing with a bunch of people, so I'm going to keep it simple this time: you want cool things? PAY for them.

Omg not this again.

Guys, it's just $5.00 U.S. dollars for membership. Earn your own money in real life and buy it if you want all that clothing.

:O:O someone agrees with me!

[Packer Backer cheesehead]

I really hope this will be like the last 2 member parties (the summer party, lime green color) and nonmembers will get the stuff just later than the members

[FunnyBoy]

I dont find it unfair.

Also, it is just a background, and its just a game. Members are paying money for more things in the game, and this is one of them.

Who knows, the party is extended, maybe the background will be available to everyone in the next few days.

If its that much of a problem, then why dont you just become a member? Its only 5 dollars a month.

[Chinstrap]

I just answered a thread like this the other day :O

:O:O someone agrees with me!

I agree with you as well. $5.00 is pretty easy to earn.

[Lewit]

come on evreyone we were all non members one time
we begged for member stuff just remember that

[Snappyguy928]

It is a background and you get 4 a month.

[RoYaLeTTe]

kids, this is actual money. its not a penyun democracy yer running... its just whining.

[Agent Pointy]

Whoa there guys! i was trying to be impartial, i agree that for $6 a month they should get stuff, although the background is stretching it, i was just asking everyone elses opinion!:confused:

[Game Lord]

Whoa there guys! i was trying to be impartial, i agree that for $6 a month they should get stuff, although the background is stretching it, i was just asking everyone elses opinion!:confused:

Nothing is stretching it. Please give some reasons why the background is "stretching it". In my opinion, it's not, because non-members should be happy to have an interactive world, where they can chat, play and play mini-games as well as meet their freinds, all for free. Asking for any items at all is "stretching it" in the opposite direction, and it's only because Club Penguin are kind enough that you get the items. They aren't obliged to let you play the game for free at all, so stop whining about not getting the full life-like experience.

Yours sincerely,
Game Lord

please dont just start an argument ok! i just wanted to know peoples opinions! and dont tell me that i am some non-member activist! i just spent like half an hour defending members when some idiot started a fight down in the pool shouting things like,.... 'non-members only!' and 'drive out the members'

so please dont critisize me.

[Snappyguy928]

Why are you getting annoyed that you can't get this one background. Nobody makes threads about buying hats is unfair so why make this? The reason is you want what you can't have.

[Rapidy]

I agree, when the Party First started I was like, "I Have got to get my Membership Again." I was a nonmember, so I toatally agree with it going too far.

[Yinyang15]

No. They pay you don't. Either cough up the money or get over it.
Ahaha short and exactly right.
It is a ROOM! It is one BACKGROUND. There will be many more to come. Non-members, You wanna see that lame room where people pretend to put on makeup and all? Fine. Here's a pic.
http://i35.tinypic.com/2mqmbza.png
It is not special, so people need to stop whining and be thankful that Club Penguin even allows non-members.
If you want it sooo bad, BUY IT FOR A MONTH. Use paypal, 6 dollars! Instant membership!

[Puppy Love64]

That was not an argument. It was a fact. Well, if you don't think your some non-member activist, then why did you post this thread? Thats pretty much saying that your too lazy to make some money and spend it on a virtual world.

[Yamadog27]

Why are you getting annoyed that you can't get this one background. Nobody makes threads about buying hats is unfair so why make this? The reason is you want what you can't have.

Only because this is the first member only bakground.BAkgrounds have always been a non-member thing.'till now :|

What if your too young to get a job (LIKE me) and your parents don't want to pay for it. (like mine) :?:

[bah humbug]

ah how do i put this- IT'S JUST FAKE CLOTHES AND FANCY BACKGROUNDS PEOPLE. does it really matter all that much? the main point of club penguin is to play the games and chat with friends. not being a member doesn't really hinder you from doing that right? i find it perfectly reasonable for people who are willing to squander their money on cyber clothes to get extra backgrounds and whatnot. i couldn't care less if i'm not wearing the latest "club penguin fashion". to tell you the truth, i'm a bit amazed at how many people actually bought the membership and are wasting either their own money or their parent's money (which is even worse) on some empty privileges. jeez. get a grip people.

Im a member because I saved for it and i can waste my money on whatever i please.
I was a nonmember for a few months and i was sure this game was going to go somewhere so i became a member.
Without memberships there would be ads all over club penguin.....

[Happlecot]

Let's think about this for a second...6 dollars a month. You know what six dollars is? Nothing, nothing at all. Even to me (who is not nearly the richest of people) can afford 3-4 memberships a month if I really wanted to. If you have a complaint about not getting enough, then it really is sickening because you don't pay anything.

[Yinyang15]

This just turned into a big argument.
I do not think they went to far, and you its just stupid to whine and complain over a bunch of pixels. You don't have to get a job for 6 dollars. Even if you're mad that its the first member only background, get over it and stop complaining. You should be thankful you get anything and are not made to pay to play the game.
It is only ONE background! Its absolutely stupid to make so much fuss over a group of pixels that only members can get.
What if your too young to get a job (LIKE me) and your parents don't want to pay for it. (like mine) :?:
You cannot have everything you want, its not a big deal over one background! They did not go to far, I think they havent done enough for members if you ask me. We could do much more, and I wouldnt be surprised if Club Penguin went completely members only. Once again, it is just a waste of time to make such a BIG DEAL over a little group of pixels. Maybe Club Penguin wanted to change one time. So they make a member only background to give something in return to their PAYING PLAYERS, and what do they get? A bunch of unsatisfied non members. members haven't had a party in a long time and when we get one it just causes so much trouble.
Sorry if I came off rude, its just aggrivating how people can complain when they aren't the ones supporting Club Penguin.

You think the members don't get enough?They ONLY pay 6 dollers a month and they get,Igloos,Open igloos,clothing/furniture catalog,Wig catalog, Members only partys all for 6 dollers.THey shouldn't get something thats always been for non-members too.(the background) I support Club Penguin 100% I just cant do it with money.

[Yinyang15]

Never said we don't get enough just said we could get more (I'm not going to go thinking though, today is not my day).
Oh well I'm done arguing, I stand by my choice.
Sorry if I 'Offended' anybody...I seem to do that when im arguing.

Dude, without members, there would be no CP for you to play. It seems like you are implying that you think we deserve less, even though we keep CP alive.:P That's kind of mean.

A lot of people, even some non-members, are starting to get annoyed by all of this non-member protesting. I wish a mod would come and close this before a giant flame war begins. Gosh, all of this arguing over of a room filled with noobs and a background.

You're right, we could get more. But we're not going to get more.

Im a member and I say NON MEMBERS SHOULD GET MOOR STUFF!
When members sign up for membership, they are given the following:
-More room on servers
-Catalogs
-Igloo upgrades
-Member parties
-Special features (including items)
-The party items
-Pins
-Backgrounds
-Flags
-Puffles
-Parties

When non-members play, they can get:
-Parties
-Pins
-Backgrounds
-The party items
-Free items (for members and non-members)
-Two puffles

Non-members are lucky to be able to play the game, because if not for the members we wouldn't have the game, meaning there IS no point to even have non-members. You weren't given a three day trial or "play free for the first month" kind of deal, you get an entire game where you can chat, play games and make friends, as well as the things I named above. For free. The members pay for EVERYTHING they get, thus continuing Clubpenguin. Some people say Disney can fund Clubpenguin and there is no reason for members- wrong! They have many things to take care of, like their current law-suit, Toon-Town (heard of it?) Disney-land/Disney-world, their television station, their bills (like Clubpenguin, they have to pay for bills as well), animation, they have to help Clubpenguin and much more.

So think about that next time you're ruining Clubpenguin by yelling "NON-MEMBERZ NEDZ MOR!!!"

I find this whole conversation about member privalages are fair totally hilarious. Let's look at following comments :

Its fair that non-members get to play the game at all and get free items.

Hmm, looks at other free MMORPG's, let's say MapleGlobal for example. The game is completly free and everyone is the same, noone is called noob because he's not member or something. If you support the game Maple you can buy Nexon, but you get not special privalages you can pay as much as you want, no special privalages. Non-members here get absolutly nothing if you compare them with members. That's not fair.

Nonmembers are needed to make this game work, you know. Had there been no nonmembers, there would be only nonmembers and a pit of stumble-on-by'ers who would pass CP without a second thought because NO ONE WANTS TO PLAY A GAME THEY DO NOT HAVE KNOWLEGE OF. Meaning, those people who find CP would spread the word, "Don't go to Club Penguin, you have to pay to play the game", thus ending CP for anyone new. And with that lack of money coming in, the company would halt production, the current members would get bored and stop playing, and Club Penguin would not continue.

In short, yes, nonmembers are needed.

Exactly. That would be the second point I would mention. If there wouldn't be non-members and the game would be playable by paying only. There would be only about 500-1000 people who would play it than because the most wouldn't pay for a game where they didn't see the content. That's how the free MMORPGS work.

[Yellowtail]

Shut up. Non members should be very happy with everything they've got in the first place. STOP. BEING. GREEDY.

Shut up. There are massive advatages for buying NX, like Gachapon and 2x exp.

Wow, you got experience from MS :>

Gachapon gets you nowhere and there are also people that level quicker without 2x exp. So why should I shut up? :P

Take runescape for an example. You will notice Non-members get new updates very not often.( some times 1 in each 4 months)

Member get new content every week.

Lets compare this with club penguin. Runescape is much bigger, so ill have to scale it.

If Runescape was club Penguin, Non-members would NOT have access to Minigames, therefor they could not have coins so they wouldnt get puffles or backgrounds. non-members would NOT get access to Parties. Non-members would only be able to walk around and chat.


If you guys want unfair, try runescape. Then you will see if Membership is taken too seriously in CP.

[bah humbug]

Im a member because I saved for it and i can waste my money on whatever i please.
I was a nonmember for a few months and i was sure this game was going to go somewhere so i became a member.
Without memberships there would be ads all over club penguin.....


hehe sorry mate, didn't know i was coming off as such a jerk :]

what i meant to say was that the people who are actually spending money SHOULD get more than the people not paying. and everyone who is a nonmember and complaining should stop and just enjoy the actual point of the game- having fun and making friends. not dressing up and getting cool looking backgrounds.

[Dunley]

Where is the penguin Band backgound.. I cant find it.. (I am a member)

And I agree with everyone.. members should get more then they are getting.

Yes, that is true, but that doesn't mean they need more items. ;)

No I know we need members I think they don't need member only partys after all the other stuff they got.Like all the catalogs igloos ect...


I agree this has turned into a war...it should be closed.
