2020: What Has Happened So Far?

ALASKA, CP Army Hub Headquarters – Since we have now passed the half-way mark of the current year, let’s take a look at the amazing journey the army community has endured these past 6 months. From the establishment of CP Army Media, the many wars, the return of veterans due to a worldwide pandemic, and finally the unification of the community under the Army Hub.

January

After a busy month in December of 2019, January saw a drop in activity from the community. As most of us returned to school and work after a long winter break, most of us did not see a bright future in CPA until the summer came along. Little did we know this would be the start of a great year in the community.

The Flippr Army League was created around the 18th of June by Buddycrafted. The league wasn’t much of a league since its primary perk was in-game services for armies. Later on, Kyle revamped the server and started running the league alongside Dman, who are currently the Chief Executive Officers. Since then they’ve had over 15 armies sign up with their league.

Two of the most beloved figures in the CPA community retired on the 29th of June. Ayan and Emcee had wished her goodbyes to CPAM and their CEO positions, both to focus more on real-life responsibilities. Even though many will miss them, they had left the next chapter for CP Army Media in good hands.

On June 30th, following the retirement of Ayan and Emcee, the Chief Executive Officers of CP Army Media, an announcement was made announcing the much-anticipated merge of CP Army Media and CP Army League. They merged to unify the community and create a hub for all armies, in which this new community was called the CP Army Hub which currently stands as the largest and most popular league.

Overall, the army community has most certainly grown in all aspects since the start of the year. Regardless of the numerous wars and arisen conflicts that we have seen, we all manage to get together and become an amazing community in the CP Army Hub. With the CP Army Hub team having more fun stored for the future, it will be wonderful to see how stronger the new era of Club Penguin Armies will get over the rest of the year, and beyond.
