The Penguin Chat logo

Penguin Chat 3 is the third installment to the Penguin series created by Rocketsnail. You used to be able to play it on www.rocketsnail.com or rsnail as a nick name, but as of now, they have closed down the site so everyone visits www.clubpenguin.com instead.

Penguin Chat 3, was a free online MMOG, and therefore required no membership. There were no coins or way of earning coins and the purpose of PC3 was to simply chat and have some fun

Area

If you tried to walk to the left of the town, you’d go to an area of nothing but snow (and a few construction decorations), if you went to the left of that, you’d up in another bigger area of snow with a pretty, blue sky. In this specific area, you might see a bunch of penguins in snowcats (a bulldozer that clears out snow) driving around. Then if you went left again, there would be a bunch of penguins just walking around with hard hats on that are probably drilling the ground (with construction decorations and railings all over the place and a crane in the distance), and then if you went left again, you’d be back at the Town (interpreting a spherical world). You could also end up in the Town again if you started off going right from the Town.

Night Club

The Night Club was incredibly similar as it is to now. The major differences were that the band played on the stage rather than a DJ deck, however was replaced with a DJ deck afterwards. The Keeper of the Boiler Room didn't appear on the speakers, and there was no Dance Lounge.

Coffee Shop

The Coffee Shop looked similar as it is now. However, since there are no mini games, Bean Counters wasn't there, and there was also no Book Room.

Gift Shop

The exterior of the Gift Shop was identical to it's Club Penguin counterpart, however entering it would result in being transported to a Gift Page in rocketsnail.com, where merchandise could be bought.

Boiler Room

The Boiler Room could be accessed via the loose wire in the Night Club. It looked somewhat similar but therer were many significant changes.

Differences

In PC3 there were no igloos, however one public one was later available in one of the empty rooms, which was also the new home of the Band.

In the toolbar, there was the chatbox, the snowball button, the actions button, a report button, the emotes button, a ‘Tell a Joke’ button, and the enter button. There was an arrow button that collapsed the chatbox to make the toolbar smaller. To change color, you would click a color change button on the chatbar, and select a different color. There was a chat history and report button on the upper left of the screen. Judging from the pictures I’ve found, there’s also a heart button and a musical note button. These are actually two emotes that are still on Club Penguin so I believe they were just 2 other emotes you can do. There seems to be a couple help buttons on the right of the toolbar as well (probably for technical assistance etc.).

In Penguin Chat 3, snowballs were a little bit different.They looked the exact same, but when you threw them at people, sometimes you would miss horribly. The radar that showed up when you push the snowball button in Penguin Chat 3 was different in Club Penguin.

Have you ever heard someone ask "How do you become a ninja?" Well, this is where the this started from. When you opened up the color select window, if you clicked the 'n' in Select your new pengui'n', a nninja color would pop out. Once you selected the ninja outfit as a color you’d have this cool black color, with a headband, belt, and sword on your back. Being a ninja was pretty cool, if you tried dancing as a ninja, you wouldn’t dance but you’d become transparent or almost see-through.

You could also be a hard hat worker. You had to click on the hook of the crane in the sky (the crane was behind a fence in the back) in the snowfields that were right of the Town to get the hard hat (you didn’t have a player card back then so you didn’t really get a hard hat, you just wore one). If you danced, you would be drilling the ground and if you went into the middle snow fields, you’d be driving a snowcat.

One day during the middle/start of Summer in 2005, the Rocketsnail team announced they were creating something called Club Penguin, which was basically a much better version of Penguin Chat 3. When people went to the site www.clubpenguin.com, all that was on its site was the logo and it said it was under construction for the next few months. Penguin Chat 3 closed, but you could still play some minigames.

After Club Penguin started the site was finally closed and it still is when you go there, but lately there has been some strange activity going on there. First in July insted of the site saying site closed it said site closed?? Next in 2 months it said site closed? and now it says that with a grey background and now it probably wont come back because you can now become a NINJA in regular Club Penguin plus in Penguin Chat 3 another secret was about a snow cat and in the Club Penguin ds game you can use one in a game called Snow Trekker.
