Rarity

Rarity is a measure for items that are exclusive to a group of players. An item is defined as rare if it is old and has not been reintroduced. Most rare items are normally non-member. Club Penguin has said that all rare items (except pins and party hats) may return in the near future.

Definition

A player who has had an account for a very long time usually owns many rare items, and is generally looked up on by newer players. For example, the Red Lei given out in January 2006 - 3 months after the public release of Club Penguin - is considered rare because many players who had it have stopped playing the game, leaving a small amount of players still with item and rendering it rare to come by. Players usually demonstrate their "rareness" by wearing their oldest clothes and showing their ability to match the clothes of any penguin they come across, leading to competitions where players try and match each other until one fails to do so.

Rare Items

Rare items are either old, making them not always available, which makes it "rare" or a one-time item. Rarity is a long sought after goal in new penguins.

Names

Some names are considered rare in the fashion that they are common words that would be in high demand and that only one lucky player was able to claim it first. Rare names are usually four letters or have no numbers in them (indicating the fact that nobody has claimed it before).
