Hey everyone. Many of us have been trying to find Rockhopper, and it isn’t easy without some really good advice! In May of 2008, I will be releasing a How To Find Rockhopper guide, even if Rockhopper isn’t on the island when it is released. We want to make our blog the best, and all of the top blogs have them! We will be removing the Pixel Penguins Page shortley, due to there being way to many orders, and we couldn’t keep up with so many people constantly changing their order, and giving us wrong email addresses. We will also add the new review for the new show at the Stage by this Friday, and the New Party review by this Saturday. But let’s get back on topic, shall we? Rockhopper spotting’s!

About Rockhopper

Rockhopper is a Pirate who visits the Island of Club Penguin regularly. Rockhopper sails to Club Penguin in a huge ship. During a Rockhopper visit, all players (including non-members) may explore his ship, which offers exclusive ‘rare’ items for purchase, and a fictional diary of the character’s adventures. Rockhopper’s items can be found no where else besides his ship. When Rockhopper is online he appears as most others except that he wears a pirate hat, and a long black beard which are not available to other penguins. Players who find Rockhopper and click to add him as a Buddy will receive exclusive items such as a background for their player card or an eye patch to wear. If you click “Visit igloo” it will take you to his ship called the Migrator. But, when his ship broke down in his most recent visit, it took you to the beach. You cannot be Rockhopper’s buddy or report him. You can however, add him to your Ignore List. Rockhopper has a red puffle named Yarr. In the month of February 2008, Rockhopper’s ship crashed.

I myself have only spotted RH once the whole time he has been there. Here is a picture:

Sorry that I couldn’t get myself into the picture. It was so mobbed! But it is really my picture that I took. Also, Toronto also saw him on the server Snow Cone, and got a picture alone with him! Here it is:

It looks like they were in the Forest, but I can’t be sure. There were also some rumors of him being on today on the USA server Vanilla, at the Ice Berg. Some say he was there, others say it was a big tipping party. We could never know though! The room was full. Some of the information below I may put in my finding Rockhopper Guide in May. Here are a couple bullets to help you out.

• Rockhopper is a little larger than other penguins
• He always wears the color red
• Sometime he could be a bot
• You can find him at the Dock, Pizza Parlor, Dock, Ice Berg, Beach, and his ship, the Migrator.
• Try sending him a postcard. He could send one back!
• You can’t buddy him
• If you click on his Home Icon on his player card, it takes you to his ship

There have been many rumors about RH home icon. Some say that one day if you click it, it could lead you to Rockhopper Island. Some people say it has, but that’s just 100 % impossible! Some people have edited pictures so that it may have looked like Rockhopper Island, but they always end up being fakes! Here is a picture of his player card.

When you click on the Wink Icon on his player card, he gives you a free background with him on it! Here is what it looks like:

He used to give out free eye patches that look like this:

The Three Main Strategies of Finding Rockhopper

Strategy One

There are many strategies to finding Rockhopper but these three are the easiest. The first strategy is the Server Checking strategy. This strategy is by far the hardest and least reliable method. This strategy has worked for me twice though so it is worth a shot. This strategy is done exactly the way the name of it sounds, by checking servers. If you want to find Rockhopper it takes a lot of effort. You should follow the server guidelines I gave to you and search every country. Try to check the Ultimate Safe Chat Servers last because Rockhopper is rarely spotted there. Look at the servers and how compares to it’s normal population without Rockhopper. If it is much higher than the other servers around it, you should check it out. While going into each server make sure to check the Dock, Cove, Pizza Parlor, Beach, Iceberg, and especially The Migrator. Listen to what people say. They often give clues about where Rockhopper is. Always check where they say he is. Most of the time they are lies but sometimes they tell the truth and can help you find Rockhopper. Do not follow the people who say follow me for Rockhopper. They never tell the truth. Don’t bother reporting them. They won’t get banned for saying that. After you have done this if you haven’t found him log off and continue the process on other servers. You may also just want to go in and out of servers and check a few places.

Here is another picture of Toronto with RH. He found him in the Server Wool Socks at the Snow Forts:

Strategy Two

This is what many penguins call “The Surprise Wait Method.” This is one of the best ways of Finding Rockhopper! I have met him 3 times by using this method! Here is how it works: Find a busy server, some of the ones he likes to go on, like Mammoth or Frozen, and wait in one of his favorite places like the Pizza Parlor or his ship, the Migrator. Then wait there for a while, and he may just appear! Be patient, and stay at your computer, logged on, because if you are idol for 10 minutes on your computer, you will automatically be logged off. Here is a picture of this method working, when a penguin waited on RH ship, and RH got there, but of course, with a mob of other penguins following him!

Strategy Number Three

This strategy is the best way, and the only best way, to find Rockhopper. I have found Rockhopper 7 times in one visit by using this method! Isn’t that just insane? That shows you how great it is! Ok, here is how it goes. In this strategy you have to find some other penguins who are looking for Rockhopper and start a Search Party. A Search Party is when you gather a group of people and search different areas in an organized way. You could send some penguins to USA servers, and others to Canadian servers. It’s really great to do it with friends from school or activities, because you can do it over Instant Messaging, or the phone! The more servers you can search the higher chance you will have to find Rockhopper. This means you want to have a large group of about 10 or more people. Don’t do it slow, but don’t rush. Try to skim through the servers. You really couldn’t miss him because he is large, and will have a mob of penguins around him, a lot of them being red so he could be hard to find, but you can’t miss him with his Black Pirate hat!!

Make sure to check my site for Updates on Rockhopper. I will update this page a lot and have Search Parties gatherings when Rockhopper is at Club Penguin. I hope this helped you to find Rockhopper. Make sure to follow the Strategies! They are a great help and will make finding Rockhopper a lot easier! Tomorrow is when RH will hide the key in CP to his Captains Quarters! I will try to post about that early in the morning (EST) before 6:40 AM. Check back tomorrow! Good Luck!
