![]() Lance once said that he “learned how to make virtual worlds by running a private server”, and I wondered if it was unfair to now be so critical of them. So where do private servers sit? Is there an educational purpose for them? However, that can certainly seem implausible too. Continue to ask Disney to bring it back and let’s continue to make the internet a safe place for everyone to explore. ![]() I want to encourage you to do the right thing. I have always appreciated the Club Penguin fans and I love that they want to keep it alive. It’s quite paradoxical considering the intention is to continue it, but is there a better way? Lance encourages urging Disney to bring it back. These have only been echoed by countless Google searches now showing unofficial content before official content, and there is a genuine risk of a damage to the game’s legacy. It is worth noting that Club Penguin Rewritten does have a team of moderators, but other servers struggle with maintaining safety in-game, and that’s a problem, particularly when games target themselves as the “rebirth” of Club Penguin. The fines for violating these requirements can be very expensive. A number of countries including the United States has laws and requirements for operators of websites or online services directed at children under the age of 13. This was and continues to be our highest value. The team at Club Penguin worked very hard to keep kids safe online. My second is the safety of children online. Database breaches/actual data (of which there has been at least one already with Club Penguin Rewritten).Is it right that teenagers and young adults are in control of a game with millions of accounts, primarily those created by minors? There are two concerns: Still relating to law, though not revolving around existence, is the question of morality. This is not the case with the servers which we know – we are all able to play on them, and as such, they are hardly very private. ![]() It is possible to set up a genuine private (also known as a localhost) server which you can only play on locally using your computer. My concern is with servers that are “public”. The key word in Private servers is “private”. But a server with over 5 million players and promoted on public channels is not very “private”. ![]() Indeed, this is where the issues stem from.Ī private server that helps young developers learn how to create worlds is great. One of the four administrators referred to the donations as “dirty scamming money”.īut even the phrase “ private server” seems a bit odd. Whilst little transparency is available, and whilst this contradicts all previous statements, be cautious if you donate, and consult a parent first.- Club Penguin Mountains November 3, 2019 This became even more controversial on November 3rd 2019, when the Club Penguin Rewritten team opened up donations, under the questionable pretence of being for running the servers.ĬP Rewritten have opened up "donations" for items, under the likely false pretence of it being a necessity to fund running costs. No private server currently has permission from Disney. I believe it is important to have permission to operate and run a world like Club Penguin. I should clarify now that this does not mean you will be in legal trouble for playing a private server, but is in reference to whether the administrators are operating legally. Please remember Disney currently owns all the rights to Club Penguin. You may want to seek legal counsel and read the law very carefully. Many young developers believe they can use copyrighted material under the “Fair Use Act”. Without a license to operate the server, I believe these servers are illegal. Lance, however, stated that he believes that is not adequate enough for servers to operate, and that private servers are illegal. This is found on the Play page too, which mentions 17 U.S. The legal justification for Club Penguin Rewritten, and indeed the one which most private servers confide in, is that these servers are an “educational instance”.
