Finally...

I have not posted for the last ten days. And, for the first time, this was not caused by a computer problem. This was caused by the fact that Panfu is boring. Yeah, I'm just going to go ahead and say it. There have not been any updates on it for the past few days. Although, there is a mini-quest that should be released tommorow. If you go to Professor Bookworm at the Beach, you can do a small quest.

Why is Panfu boring?
Club Penguin changed forever in July 2010 when they introduced stamps. And, they have new stamps every few weeks, or even every few days! And, there is a new Mini-Quest there, called a Field Op every week! There are also several parties in Club Penguin!

Pandanda changed forever in October 2010 when they introduced quests. Their quests are fun, and sometimes take patience... (When you're catching fish...) There are even 5-15 NEW quests EVERY DAY! (Note, sometimes quests repeat themselves!) Pandanda also has cool festivals!

These are my two favorite virtual worlds! They both have parties. They both have free items. Panfu does not have either. (Well, I guess that Panfu does have Free Items when you complete a quest, but CP has Free Items when you find them, and Pandanda has Free Items... immediately when you log in!

I also like the fact that Pandanda allows Non-Members to get half the items from their two clothing catalogs and it allows Non-Members to get some furniture items. However, Non-Members can not get pets in Pandanda.
In CP, it is the opposite. Non-Members can get two colors of puffles (CP Pets), but Non-Members can not get furniture or clothing items from the catalogs. But, CP does allow Non-Members to get Pins, Backgrounds, and Colors.
In Panfu, Non-Members can not get bollys (I guess they can get Pokopets with the voucher!), and they cannot get either furniture OR clothing. This really limits the things that Non-Members can do on Panfu.

And, the real thing that Panfu is lacking is UPDATES! CP has updates, and Pandanda also has updates. CP has parties every month, and so does Pandanda. Panfu has no, or very few updates.
If you go out and introduce a new virtual world, and introduce 100 rooms along with it, players will get very excited about the 100 rooms, but when they play through all of them, it starts getting very boring. You should introduce something new every month, like CP and Pandanda. Panfu went ahead and introduced everything at once, horses, quests, everything. That was the biggest mistake.

And, I still haven't told you the worst thing about Panfu. What is it? If you're a gold panda, you will not know. My membership on Panfu ran out a couple days ago. And, what did I discover? If you're a non-member, Panfu goes ahead and puts ADS on the game! Every time you go to another room (or almost every time), you get to watch a very inappropriate ad about some inappropriate thing. Some of the ads are OK, advertising things like pizza. Some advertise things that 18 year olds should be using. Most of their audience is around the ages of 6-12. Yeah. Is Panfu SO desperate for money now that they start putting ADS on the game?

I will post more on this topic very soon. Does anyone agree?



P.S. The Be Smarter game is out of order at the moment.

  1. I totally agree. I check the panfu blog every day to find out what is coming, but I don`t log in very much. And I`m playing Goldeneye Wii now, so I don`t have time for almost anything else :)
