Island Line
A now-defunct massively multiplayer online (MMO) game released in March 2017 as the successor to the classic children's MMO Club Penguin, which was discontinued on the same day. The game served as a last-ditch effort to continue the franchise following its predecessor's decline in popularity and resulting demise. It was poorly received due to its initial mobile-only release, lack of content at launch and, like its predecessor, locking most features behind recurring paid membership. Due to a combination of these factors as well as competition from social media and other forms of children's entertainment, the game was a commercial failure. Club Penguin Island, and with it the Club Penguin franchise, was discontinued in December 2018.
Club Penguin Island will live on as an example of how to NOT revive a dying franchise.
An island nobody cares about south of somewhere unimportant. Basically derives from the words "come" and "wrong"
If you go there its because you are nearly wrong. Locals welcome people who are generally wrong in the head.
Hey did you see that idiot who bought the house down Comerong Island? He really fits in there. That's where all mentally wrong people go.
