Servers

Servers provide the service of receiving and processing the inputs of players in Club Penguin Rewritten. There are multiple servers in the game and each can host a limited amount of connected players.

History
The initial two servers were Blizzard and Snow Avalanche. On February 19, 2017, a poll was held on Club Penguin Rewritten's Twitter account asking what the name of the next server should be. Sleet won the poll between Ice Berg, White Out and Beanie. More servers were added on March 31, 2017 to handle the influx of new users as Club Penguin was closing.

The popularity of the servers have evolved over time. Blizzard has commonly been the most appreciable server populated all throughout the day. Coincidentally, Blizzard was the name of one of the most popular servers on the original Club Penguin as well. When Blizzard is commonly full, some other servers also become populated.

In September 2017, the servers Avalanche, Aurora, Alpine, Arctic, and Alaska were removed as each server's capacity was increased to 500 players.

On May 27, 2019, the server capacity was increased to 600 players. Prior to the server capacity increase, Zipline and Snow Avalanche were gaining traction.

On January 28, 2020, a queue system was added which allowed players to "wait in line" when trying to enter full servers. As of February 1, 2020, it is still in testing to find out the community's reception of the system. The queue system's capacity for each server was increased to 1,000 players on March 15, 2020.

All servers saw an increase in users in March 2020 amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

When the Fashion Party released, every server reached 5 bars within a few minutes. There were approximately at most 3,800 players online concurrently according to Candy and Lily8763cp. Players trying to enter Blizzard reported a 300-player queue, and both safe chat servers Antarctic and Snow Avalanche were at 5 bars. As a result, Joee said that the Staff is considering to add more servers to accommodate the playerload.

In an update on March 20, 2020, in addition to the two new permanent servers, the word "QUEUE" will now appear on servers that are full and have a queue. The queue will turn white, green, orange or red depending on how many people are in the queue.

On March 24, 2020, there was a poll held in the Club Penguin Rewritten Discord Server to choose the names for two new servers. The options were Crystal, Flurry, Ice Berg, Mittens, Mammoth, and White Out. Crystal and Mammoth both won the vote.

On April 2, 2020, a concert event otherwise known as the Soccer Mommy Concert was meant to take place, while the decorations were put up they were pulled an hour later due to technical issues and the large influx of penguins. The concert was eventually held successfully two weeks later on April 16, 2020.

In late October 2020, there was an update to the Queue system. Now when joining a server that has a queue, the player will first spawn in the Welcome Solo (albeit for a split second), before joining the queue. Furthermore, friends in-game can now view players that are in the queue, as searching for their location will bring up "Player is in the queue". The Welcome Solo was initially thought to be a glitch or a bug, but it was confirmed otherwise by the Staff team.

On 8 April 2022, The Spanish servers were launched.

Safe chat servers
Safe chat servers use "ultimate safe chat", which removes the chat bar, meaning you can't type your own messages in a safe chat server. The servers are intended for young children whose parents don't want any risk of inappropriate messages or bullying.

There are two safe chat servers in the game; Antarctic and Snow Avalanche. These servers are generally less-populated than non safe chat servers as players might not be able to say what they wish to say.

Trivia

 * Prior to HTML5, the different values of "Bars" were:
 * 1 Bar: 0-119 penguins online
 * 2 Bars: 120-239 penguins online
 * 3 Bars: 240-359 penguins online
 * 4 Bars: 360-479 penguins online
 * 5 Bars: 480-599 penguins online
 * 5 Bars + Queue: 600 penguins online + at least 1 penguin trying to enter the server.
 * On September 8, 2019, the buddy counter was removed from the settings menu.
 * According to Staff, the Spanish language servers had to be shut down due to the lack of resources and available moderation to maintain the servers.
 * Currently, the largest queue for a server ever recorded was during the Club Penguin 15th Anniversary Party by visits from Aunt Arctic and Sensei. During each of their first few visits, the numbers of players in queue ranged from 1000 players to 2000 players. Some players did not even have the queue show up for them as it was too large.
 * Previous records include:
 * A visit from Rookie during the April Fools' Party 2020 that saw over 1000 players in queue.
 * Dot's first visit during the Fashion Party on March 20, 2020, which was her first in over two years. The queue was reportedly at over 900 players.
 * During a visit from Rookie during The Fair 2020, there was a massive influx of players trying to login into the server Crystal where he was logged into. As a result, the whole game crashed for a few minutes before being brought back up online again. As compensation for the downtime, Rookie made an appearance on Crystal again ten minutes later, with the server having an increased capacity of 4300 penguins for the meetup.
