## New Horizons Update

On July 23, 2022, the *Club Penguin Legacy* team would hold a What's New? live event detailing the significant **New Horizons update** that would start being phased out in-game on July 24, 2022. This update would be so significant that it had to be released in several different phases over a period of time. This update would mark the beginning of *Club Penguin Legacy's* transition "from a simple chatting game to a more immersive gameplay experience."

## Trivia

* Following an update that occurred on April 27, 2022, **Puffle Rescue** rewarded a 1:1 score to coin ratio. Meaning, whatever score you achieved in the game would reward that many **coins** upon completion. For example, if you ended a single game with a score of 80,000 on Puffle Rescue Underwater levels, you would receive 80,000 coins as a reward. This was quite significant as normally the coin reward is the player's score divided by 10. This was ultimately patched and corrected to reward the normal rate following an update on May 17, 2022.

* On July 6, 2022, *Club Penguin Legacy* experienced its first full server. This occurred during an **Aunt Arctic** visit that featured an exclusive **background** that was said to only be obtainable on that one occasion. The server received so much traffic that it caused the Aunt Arctic visit to be postponed roughly 30 minutes into the visit due to the connection issues stemming from it.

* The *Club Penguin Legacy* logo was made by Jock.
