The End was just the Beginning

“Ends are not bad things, they just mean that something else is about to begin.”
― C. JoyBell C.

Today is a very sad, but historical day, as the first army to ever exist, closes its doors for a second time, and this time, permanently. This wasn’t a decision we took lightly though, as it’s been the home for thousands of people for almost 20 years now. But, why are we doing this? The ex-Panel of Guardians: Mchappy, Flipmoo, Shaboomboom and Boomer20 have properly asked us to shut down ACP as they don’t believe it should go for any longer – and we will respect their wishes. The ACP has been alive for a long time, and we wish for it to have a proper ending, and we agreed that the perfect time is no other than now.

A look into our past

The Army of Club Penguin was founded on September 26th, 2006. Since then, we’ve accomplished incredible things, which include a period of complete domination of the community which extended for almost 5 years. Not only that, we were nominated as the best army of all time on March 22nd, 2017, when we thought it was the end of armies… following Club Penguin’s closure.

12 of our ex-leaders are categorized as Club Penguin Army legends, who have done the impossible at the helm of our beloved army…

But also won incredible things together…

But it is finally time for us to say goodbye. But now you may say, then what is going on…?

Rising from the Ashes

Since most of us still wish to be in armies, and we’ve been asked to be let go of our new home, with the blessing of Club Penguin Army Legend and creator 122344a, we are reviving the legendary army that once stood at the top:

Army of the Republic

Dating back from August 18, 2007, AR was revolutionized and pioneered by some of the community’s greatest leaders, like Vinny, Buritodaily and 122344a, all which hold the title of CPA legend. They remained incredible allies to us throughout most of our existence, and hold a place in our ex-army’s dearest heart. This is why we think this is the best option. We thank especially 122344a for his blessing in allowing us to be a part of the incredible history this army holds.

Per 122344a’s request, the old AR website will remain intact, and we will be using the current Army of Club Penguin website as our main base of operations. Same thing with the Discord, we will be using current ACP Discord. We ask you to please bare with us, as we have to archive all the old posts and redo a lot of the website and Discord over the following days. A post will be released giving even more details soon.

We understand this may be a tough period of a lot of us, as we transition to a new home, but we ask you for your support – so that we may stand together until the end. This is a new start.

We ask you to please attend our opening event, in support of this legendary army.
