oh, but there's more fake stuff in here:

- what the hell is an expansion area with copypasted shops? sure, the monthly parties added new temporary rooms every now and then, but even if they did have some things you could buy, it would more often just be a small selection of limited time stuff. this selection was never the same as the default catalogs.

- there were multiple default catalogs and most of them changed monthly. not the puffle one, that one changed whenever there was a new type of puffle. this puffle catalog was never in the mines.

- the puffle limit has never been 700. it used to be much lower, then they increased it for each time they added new puffles (?), and at some point they added a whole backyard area for member igloos so you could have a lot more puffles that you didn't even need to take care of. that's how a 75 puffle limit became possible at all.

- you could not gift puffles. in fact, trading stuff was never a thing at all. the closest thing we ever had to gifting items on this game was during the holidays when you could gift special postcards that contained a predetermined gift that you could only get from said postcards.

- how did you get an email from someone you met on club penguin? this one could be plausible if they were already a friend of yours irl, but in-game there was obviously no way of finding someone's email, and you could not write custom messages on the in-game postcards. after all, this was a kids game and they wanted to keep it safe and contained.

- i do not remember the puffles making much noises in your igloo itself... the puffle roundup minigame did have them make noise though, as well as various other media like in videos, other minigames, etc... they sound like squeak toys. and yeah sure that can indeed sound very hellish if it was 700 of them at once making that kind of noise, you're right

- club penguin was a 2D game, what do you mean they "rendered in and out of walls". that definitely sounds more like a 3D thing, and we never had puffles on CPI, which didn't exist when the post was made anyway.

tbh this sounds more like funny dream OP had about the game once, and honestly, that's fair. the mental image is still really funny.

but yeah it's super fake

700 Puffles

Ok, so, when I was a kid, I used to get up to a lot of dumb shenanigans on Club Penguin. I think this was around third or fourth grade; I did a lot of trolly things then. Some of the bans and glitches they had to fix around that time period were because of me and some of my online friends at the time.

We figured out pretty quickly that most of the like, your base-level curse words, y'know the amateur curse words, they’re all BANNED. So we started coming up with more and more inventive ways to express our feelings to the public, so that’s why every once in a while they would roll out an update, and it’s like, “the term ‘bitchbaby’ is now banned”.

And um, what else did I do?

Oh right, so do you know how they had those expansion areas every once in a while? And there would be those little zones and each zone had the same default shop that they copy-and-pasted over.

But there was this one expansion area… it was a cave or mine shaft or something like that. The default shop that they had there, it was Real Glitchy. So I figured out that if you buy seven puffles it gives you some ridiculous number for the price of TWO. So what I did:

I BOUGHT 700 PUFFLES…. And then I gifted them to the other person in the shop whose name I didn’t know and then I waited. And then I forgot about that for, quite a while, and then some time a week later I got a very angry email from said person, with a screenshot of their home, which was floor-to-ceiling, wall-to-wall, just. Fur. And googly eyes. Like you could see nothing else, it was just puffle everywhere. They were rendering in and out of walls, like some of them were just plain feet, it was – it was an abomination.

And apparently once I read the email their main complaint? Not even the fact that I ruined their fucking household! It was the fact that when they opened the client and saw that, it CRASHED. Their Club Penguin client crashed, and when they opened their house and it loaded and there were seven hundred puffles.

I don’t know if you guys know this but puffles, as cute as they look (at least to some people), the sounds they make are not quite as cute. Especially when there’s seven hundred of them layered on top of each other, rendering in and out of walls emitting a sound collectively scary enough to get Lucifer to piss himself.

And yeah. That’s the story of why there’s a limit of 50 puffles that you can buy.
