Club Penguin
edit

Club Penguin is an online virtual world and one of the fastest growing sites aimed at children between 6 and 14.

Launched 2 years ago in October of 2005, Club Penguin has not only become profitable but expects to make $35 million in profit off revenues of $65 million in 2007.

It was acquired by Disney on August 1, 2007 for $350 million in cash with an opportunity for an additional $350 million cash earn out by 2009. It will shortly be rebranded “Disney’s Club Penguin”. The virtual world claims 700,000 paid subscribers with over 5 million visitors a month. Subscriptions are $6 monthly but may change after the Disney acquisition is completed.

If you are a player long enough, you can aquire enough stuff so that you look like a member, but you actually aren't! It's awesome, because Rockhopper brings such awesome stuff!

But it is no point if there was free member because everyone will look too good and it will be boring, don't you think? (I'm a member!)
