swf files from Panfu, a database and a server emulator. A Private Server is an online multiplayer game that is not part of Panfu but uses. There has been made a list of Private Servers for Panfu. Co-founder Moritz Hohl has expressed interest in opening Panfu again as a mobile app, and applied for a trademark for Panfu in 2021, but further updates never happened.
The former CEO, Verena Pausder, is the head of mobile gaming company called Fox and Sheep, which owns some of the apps and IPs Goodbeans made. The team decided to let Panfu stay up until the servers expired, and they finally expired on November 1, 2016, marking the end of the official version of Panfu. Goodbeans was shut down in January 2015, and applied for bankruptcy in April 2015. 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 Germany. The development of Panfu, (called Pandaland during development Sep–Oct 2007) 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.
