Club Penguin Your Server, or simply CPYS is a Club Penguin Private Server created by retired blogger Tooly228 and designer and administrator, Coolboy. It was also known as the third best CPPS in 2012 and is one of the safest private servers ever.
The game was first released in the summer of 2011, but shortly closed down, due to unknown reasons. CPYS later resurfaced on May 31, 2012 until August 2013, before Tooly228's retirement, where the server soared to new heights and goals by its custom items, parties, and amazing player fanbase.
After the server closure in August 2013, CPYS was resurrected by staff member Hucci as CPYSv2 on June 29, 2014, which later shut down at the end of the summer for unknown reasons as well.
In April 2017, CPYS was planned to return as announced by Twix with an expected release date of summer 2017. However, this project shortly fizzled out and was ultimately abandoned by the end of the year.
In June 2020, former player RoperZ took up the mantle of bringing back CPYS and announced an expected release date of August 2020. That release never came due to threats made by a hacking group, which led to the sooner than expected shutdown of CPYS.
CPYS Timeline[]
Something New (2011)[]
Before CPYS, the domain for the game was CPCheatsCP.com, which was owned by now retired famous blogger, Tooly228. In the summer of 2011, CPYS was released and was "extremely tiny with no potential", as at the time, rival private server, Club Penguin V, was "huge and insurmountable". Later on, a website known for its focus on CPPS's, CPPSHQ, took notice of CPYS' creativity, especially its custom items. There were also plenty of custom rooms, made mostly by NinjaPotato, also known as Sleet. The game then went down with no official announcement of its closure.
New Beginnings (2012-13)[]
On May 31st, 2012, Tooly made an announcement on Twitter stating that CPYS is once again back up and running. It didn't take long before it regained all of its users and immediately gave competition to all of the other CPPS's. A solid staff team was beginning to take form, but Coolboy, the co-founder of CPYS was let go because of his tremendous in-activity. During this time, CPYS soared to new heights with custom items and custom parties. This lead to its involvement in "CPPS of the Year" competition by CPPSHQ, which later won third place.
On July 9, 2013, Tooly announced his retirement from CPYS and the Club Penguin community to focus on new endeavors. Following his retirement, CPYS remained open until its sudden downtime in August 2013, which was announced as a result of the domain not being paid anymore because of Tooly's retirement.
Also on July 9, 2013, The head administrator TestSnail who is also known as Ben took over CPYS when Tooly announced retirement. CPYS was still very popular and had multiple servers active when Ben was running the private server however due to server and domain expenses not been paid the private server shutdown. Ben was not able to pay for the server or domain expenses so he announced shutdown after the downtime on August 16th 2013. TestSnail was a remembered figure in the CPYS Community for his hard work and dedication towards the server and community.
CPYS 2 (2014)[]
On January 10, 2014, it was officially announced by Hucci that CPYS would return in the summer of 2014. During the beginning of 2014, a donation page was released for those who wanted to beta test early. In May 2014, it was announced that the private server would be renamed as CPYSv2. The game opened up on June 29, 2014, but did not last very long as the game went down, resulting in its closure.
Back to the Basics (2017)[]
In March 2017, staff member Twix tweeted images revealing that he was working on a new Club Penguin Private Server. It was later revealed that he was working on resurrecting the game. An expected release date for the game was set for Summer 2017, but the project was put on hold as they had no developers. Just a few months later, CPYS was abandoned entirely as Twix went AWOL, leaving many to speculate as to what happened to him.
CPYS 4 (2020)[]
In June 2020, it was officially announced on Discord by RoperZ that he was working on bringing back CPYS once again. After three years of awaiting the return of Twix, it was a breath of fresh air to the members of the community who had been waiting intently for an update over three years. The game was set to release beta testing by July of 2020, and fully release in August 2020. This iteration of CPYS never made it past alpha testing, as it experienced an early shutdown in mid July due to safety threats made by a hacking group. This led RoperZ to back out of the project entirely and cancel any future plans CPYS had for the sake of the community.
