While working on the server, the site went into a maintenance mode explaining the situation. Since it was no longer possible to chat on Panfu, many players switched to, then called, in order to play.Īfter the unannounced closure of Panfu on November 1, 2016, the team started working on their own servers to continue using the Panfu client. The first pandas ( Moritz, Marc etc) were created on October 10, started as a Panfu Client, a modified version of Panfu running on the original servers.The domain was purchased on October 10, 2007, and was first opened November 1, 2007, showing a form for an email-newsletter.The trademark for Panfu was applicated for on October 10, 2007.Pandas without gold panda could occationally get clothes and items from events and quests.Among them were the abilities to buy clothes and furniture, weekly gifts and in some cases the possibility of accessing VIP areas (such as San Franpanfu, when it was still under construction). A premium membership, Gold Panda, offered special features for those who bought it.Panfu offered 15 different languages of the game.Occasionally, other Pandas such as Kamaria and Bookworm also made appearances. The blog would often be written in a storyline which would match the current events going on in Panfu these storylines could sometimes go across multiple posts. The blog was written in-universe by Max and Ella, a reporter-duo who often got themselves into trouble.

Except for a change in server-domains on March 2015 Panfu would remain in this state until its closure in late 2016. The last Panfu update occurred December 1, 2014, around the same time the last team-members were let go. By 2014, there were few active users, and with the chats shut down, the number of players would only plummet even further, making it difficult to find even slightly populated servers. Soon after, the chats of other language versions followed, with the German chat getting shut down in 2015. The first chat to be shut down, was the Polish-chat, which was shut down on Madue to a shortage of moderators this occurred despite protests from the player base protests which, with the declining nature of the game, would spread to other languages, but would mostly go unnoticed. Panfu began losing popularity in 2013 mostly due to Goodbeans' own actions, such as trying to cut expenses by firing developers in December 2012, and ending the constant television-ads. The first Panfu to close was Arabic Panfu, which closed on November 1, 2010, closely followed by Portugese Panfu, on December 9, 2010. The mascots Max and Ella were renamed to Houssam and Leila, and Kamaria to Marjana. Panfu was opened in Arabic in September 10, 2010, and had 10 thousand users within the first two weeks. The game quickly became a competitor to Club Penguin in Europe. When the new languages were added throughout 2008, Panfu's playerbase exploded in size. Young Internet wanted to expand Panfu, and decided to make it international. The only minigames available were Blub, Happarama, Train your Brain, Fish'n'Fish, Hubi and Bolly Hop. The only rooms available were the Town, the Ice cream parlor, the Pet shop, the Gift shop, the Library, the Jungle, the Sports field, the Gym, the Swimming pool, the Changing room, the Kiosk and the Volcano. More languages, such as English, were added from 2008 to 2009. Panfu was officially released December 2007, after a month of beta testing. The virtual world was opened in a beta-period November 2007 and was available only in German. The development of Panfu, (then called "Pandaland") started in September 2007, a month after Young Internet was founded. The idea for Panfu came when Moritz Hohl and Kay Kühne wanted to make a safe place on the internet for German children.
