The Death of Armies: 2016, 2017, When?

KLONDIKE, CPA Central Headquarters – The community has been at a tight position for quite some time now, and people kept stating years when armies would cease to exist, but when will armies actually end? Read more to embark on a journey with I, Emperor Flor, throughout the history of armies, and into my theories of why armies have yet to die, when they might die, and how they might die!

Clans first started appearing in the middle of 2006, and they weren’t as normal as armies now-a-days, they were “armies” based off of colors, with the Red and Blue clans becoming the most popular of all thanks to the Sport Party in August, 2016, which centralized with red and blue as the two primary colors. These series of unorganized battles took place in the Dojo, which are now known as World War I – The Color Wars.

After the Color Wars ceased with the Red clan dying out due to the coup of Korn, the leader of the Red clan, clans began to undergo a major change that affected Club Penguin warfare in the long run. With the color clans now deceased, new clans were beginning to rise, but these clans weren’t based off of colors, but rather on names and clothing. Clans were now experiencing “organization” thanks to the Miniclip Forums, which are now dead. The Miniclip Forums allowed the penguins to text with each other, and establish what is the forum server: Mammoth. From then on, all the battles held on Mammoth are now categorized as World War II – The Clan Wars.

After World War II, armies like the Army of Club Penguin, Romans, Vikings, Pirates, Penguin Secret Agency, Club Penguin Army, and the Club Penguin United Nations Space Commission were created. Armies like the Underground Mafias Army, Club Penguin Marines, and the Nachos were still forming. But, finally armies became a thing, and since then, they have greatly advanced to what we have today.

After 10 years of armies, we have reached a point where armies are no longer as big or as fun as they used to be. This has been decided and agreed upon by everyone if not by almost everyone in the community. But why did armies come to this? Was it because of the toxicity in the community, the aging children who are now teenagers, or the fact that Club Penguin is decreasing in size as well? The reason why armies are dying is because of all of these reasons. All the children who one played and participated in Club Penguin warfare, are now probably teenagers, and as old as 20. They have moved on from their childhood and have continued on with their lives. When armies first began, there weren’t any accusations of multilogging, or the amount of toxicity that we have now-a-days in the community. It was just one big, happy, competitive community. Both of these factors have also helped make the last factor happen, which is that Club Penguin is slowly decreasing in size. Toxicity exists in all forms of online gaming and social media, so even Club Penguin had its own toxic players. Not only were there toxic players, but along with the botting and the cloning some armies did to gain more recruits, enraged some Club Penguin players and could have even caused them to quit.

Now that I have explained both the history of Club Penguin armies, and what could have caused the death of this community, I can now guess when the community itself will end. This probably wont be any time soon, as long as those currently in the community keep bringing in new faces into the community that will soon take over those old faces. But, if this does fail to happen, armies might as well die in 2017. Only if the nostalgia that has kept the community going up until now continues, then armies will surely last a lot longer, and will most probably soon upgrade with all the updates soon to come on Club Penguin.

The death of armies is unavoidable. Soon, Club Penguin will close down, and when that day comes, so will Club Penguin armies. But, until that day does come, it is our job as a community, as a family, to delay when armies will die, and to continue having fun as a fun community for everyone and anyone.

Here at the CPA Central, we value the reader’s opinion! Do YOU believe armies will die either 2016 or 2017? Do YOU believe armies will continue to live on? Do YOU think that armies might die because Club Penguin for the desktop will shut down? Comment YOUR opinions about the death of Club Penguin armies below!
