User blog:QueenBadgerCP/Mature Servers On Trial

A new feature has been introduced to Club Penguin Online. Following the success and popularity of the mature channel on the Discord server, Riley is trialing some mature servers in game. There is a mature server for each language: Walrus for English, Botas for Spanish and Sundae for Portuguese.

How does it work?
The aim of the mature servers is to reduce the number of people breaking the rules on the normal servers, therefore making them safer.

Like on the Discord server, many members are actually older people playing Club Penguin Online to relive the memories they had on the original Club Penguin game growing up. Because of this, they may want to use certain language or discuss topics that are not appropriate and break the rules. Therefore, the mature servers have been introduced for older players to enter, where swearing, sexual content and other inappropriate behaviours are allowed.

Upon entering the mature servers, players are greeted with a message warning them that the server may contain mature themes and behaviour. It is recommended that only players over the age of 18 enter the mature server. Players who do not wish to use the mature servers can choose to play on the normal servers as they have been doing.



Rules
The mature servers do still have some rules. For example, racism is still not allowed and players are not allowed to cheat or hack in any way. Players are also not allowed to spread rumours about Club Penguin Online or abuse staff. For a list of the rules on the mature servers, please see this webpage.

It is also worth noting that players are still not allowed to have inappropriate usernames. This is because players can enter any server and their bad username may be seen on the safe servers.

The mature servers are currently on a one week trial. Next Friday (12 April), Riley will announce whether the mature servers will become a permanent feature.
