It's been 12 years since Club Penguin opened its doors -- and it was finally closed today for the last time.

Club Penguin, a popular multiplayer game, was first launched on Miniclip before being bought over by Disney.

In its heyday, some 150 million people logged on to play and chat together in the community.

On Thursday, ahead of its imminent death at 12 a.m. PT, everyone logged on for the last time. Things got really emotional.

#RIPClubPenguin also started trending on Twitter.

If you're getting Club Penguin withdrawal already, Club Penguin Island -- the new mobile-only version of the game -- is already available for download on iOS and Android devices.

But if that's not good enough, you'll just have to make do with the memories.

RIP Club Penguin -- you'll waddle on in our dreams.
