Habbo loosing users?

[Just-One]

Hey,

I've noticed ever since Callie has "quit" Habbo, and after all the stuff last summer, the number of users at Habbo has reduced quite significantly. I only decided to post this as I have just seen as of now (time of post) there is just..

550 Habbos online

Which is the lowest I have seen habbo in ages! There is usually around 1,500 people at minimum at this time.. and during the day back in the Callie days there was usually 13,000-15,000 users online... now they're lucky to get 8,000 online!

Anyone else noticed this?

Not exactly news, but agreed. Though it may be because users are growing up, with the main target market of around 15/16 year olds, they're deciding to leave most commonly for such reasons as School commitments. I've noticed that users are beginning to find Habbo boring, fair doos.


Mylo

[Barmi]

I agree with both of you - I've also noticed the significant drop in users. Most people will find more appealing things to do with their time, and most users that have been frequent visitors at the Hotel often complain how bored they are (myself included). I guess for the last 10 weeks people have been off school/college, so the numbers have been a bit higher, and now they have decreased with the return to education.

Meh, I don't know.

[Catzsy]

Also though there have been other hotels opening which may have impacted on the numbers using the UK hotel but I also agree with Barmi that with school starting again it will be reduced for a while.

[:Hazel]

People have started back at school but there are people leaving, its not like it used to be.

[You]

Most i've ever seen online is about 11k since Callie left, I remember the day they got 15k online.
I don't think the numbers will rise much again with the way habbo is going

[Kotu]

I don't really think it's dropped significantly at all. Right now, sure there has been a huge drop in users online, but that's because generally people have gone back to school over this past week.

I don't think the majority of users that use Habbo really give two hoots who the 'Hotel Manager' is to be honest, so I don't think many would leave because of that.

11k is still good! Infact better for us, because the Hotel runs slightly better ;)

I think it just depends whats happening in the Hotel and on the website that day.

[You]

As we're only Habbo's, we don't notice much of a difference, but i'm sure if you was staff and could see the amount of registrations that took / take place, you would be suprised...

[Demi]

People leaving yes, not everyone can buy HC, that is the reason i have heard from over 50 people...
Also yes, school is open...
By next week, there will be less and less people!
Dont worry, after 3pm it all starts to fill and weekends too!

[Ellis.]

Although the current decrease of the population may be caused by Callie's departure, several factors and not only Callie's departure play a part in the whole decrease of population thing.

1. Habbo is getting boring with or without Callie
2. Teenagers finding something more productive rather than Habbo.
3. Teenagers growing older and finding jobs, hence less time on Habbo.
4. School; students realise they need to spend more time focused on their studies.
5. Some people just leave because of plain boredom. I know some people who log on to Habbo and spend most of their time on hotel view.

That's all I can think of at the moment but in my opinion, I think what I said has somewhat a role in the decrease of population.

Them cars are great to stare at. :rolleyes: True though most people seem to spend time on view now.

[Dan2nd]

yeah what he said ^

also the majority (sp?) of Habbos always said they hated Callie so i don't see why she leaving would effect it. Also its the summer so people are proberly spending more time outside enjoying the weather before the rain , snow and genaral coldness comes :)

[:Hazel]

yeah what he said ^


She :@

[You]

She :@
Lmao :p

[KHK]

We all know Hazel is a man :P
and i think it's just a coincidence that the numbers have gone down since Callie left

[clazzzzz]

She :@
Are you a girl?


And to keep this on topic I think its because habbos crap [:

[:Hazel]

We all know Hazel is a man :P
and i think it's just a coincidence that the numbers have gone down since Callie left

thanks to you kind individual now you have revealed my true identity i will have to cry :'(

[Charlie]

I agree with some of the others, school & college has started so less people are on now & it's getting boring so people are leaving because its just plain boring.

I've left cause of it being so boring, if i go on its to check out whats happening & because im so bored doing other stuff.

But, you never know, after about 3pm & at the weekends the number might get bigger as more people are home then, so they can get on the hotel

[KHK]

thanks to you kind individual now you have revealed my true identity i will have to cry :'(


We can still pretend you're a lady, or perhaps turn you into a lady-boy! :)
Keeps on topic: uh yeh.

[QUOTE=clazzzzz;2182458]Are you a girl?

yes thx, what are you?

I don't think habbo will improve tbh. I just spend most of my time chatting now, the game itself is not worth bothering with.

[Just-One]

I don't think the majority of users that use Habbo really give two hoots who the 'Hotel Manager' is to be honest, so I don't think many would leave because of that.

That was not what I was trying to get at. What I am saying is that since Callie's departure, with her events, games, and the many rumors and stories that made habbo into a sort of online Eastenders.. thats what interested us!

What has Callie mucked up on this time?
What has Callie done thats "corrupt" this time?
What has happened to Habbo this week by the "h4x0rs"?
Who are the latest Callie bummers? Its out of order!!!
VIP badges gallore! Allowing Habbo users to do events..

Now its like a plain old boring site with no new stories all being goody goody.. Lost_witness is hardly interesting at all.

Get what I mean?

[Seacat]

I think we can see Lost-Witness's lack of interest through the lack of updates on the homepage.. There's almost a two week gap between the latest update and the one before that :o

[Roboevil]

As of people returning to school, that's obviously going to have an effect on the amount of users in the short-term effect. However in the long-term, it's completely different.
For those who said that it's getting boring or people are getting older and finding it less appealing are being ignorant and I completely agree with you. I'm assuming most of you are 15/ 16+ and naturally you'd find a game like that boring. You have to take into account that you're not the only generation of kids on Habbo... There's hundreds of 12/ 13 year olds who are just starting out who find it enjoyable.

I posted about lack of homepage updates on my site like 2/3 days ago showing the difference between homepage updates:

http://www.habbos.net/showthread.php?t=22168

Also for the people giving excuses about school: it's been low in numbers since way before school started. The most I've seen online was 9000 and I think the main cause is:

Lack of updates
Lack of interest
Repetition

There are no original comps anymore. Before it was like "Are you ready - for what's next?" now its always the same.

Examples:

AROUND THE WORLD IN 80 ROOMS - 7 WONDERS OF HABBO
SEARCH FOR MEI LING - THE RESISTANCE

Obviously the second ones were always better!

During the Summer, the afternoon average players at one time was 8-10 thousand, but now that people have returned to school/college, only the evenings see the majority of players enter the hotel.

you should ask them is they have msn ;p

[Pyroka]

Hmm very interesting, ive never noticed this that much to be honest but now that you mention it...Most users are migrating to games such as Runescape, Xivio, IMVO, Coke Music and many more, mainly because Habbo may not appeal to them and they are just way too old for these things. Sulake ARE opening more hotels and that could be to blame, are they opening too many hotels, and getting a bit ahead of themselves on their success of Habbohotel? It looks that way.

School has always been important when youre playing Habbo, the school year has just started and myself, i am going into Year 11 therefore GCSE's would be very soon. It looks like the majority of the users are also going onto their GCSE's and will not be on that much as they want to get the best grades and study as hard as they can. Parents can also be a reason that people dont come on, parents find that computers are harmful to their children after long exposures everyday, and therefore they get banned off their computers.

Sulake may need to make a few more ideas soon or the Habbohotel idea may just die of pure boredom? Im sure that V10/11 will change this but for now, numbers are being shortened and Sulake will soon be in trouble if this problem spreads to other countries, they had a good profitable year last year but will it be the high figures that they want to see when they look at the UK cashflow? Lets wait and see.

[Wig44.]

It probably is that people prefer runescape, runescape is updated like every other day!

[DannyRul3z]

Ermm.. Habbo isn't supposed to be a game?

It's supposed to be a place to meet new friends and the furni and comps are just an extra, aren't they?

[DJ-Ali]

It probably is that people prefer runescape, runescape is updated like every other day!
I agree and Disagree. Back then, everyone was into Runescape, then Habbo now just MSN or playing out. Anyhow, the international Hotels are starting to get more popular. Maybe UK users going onto other Hotels? It's a possibility.

[-:Undertaker:-]

I think it's just due to the fact that its Summer, I think User numbers will pick up in Winter, And I think its garbage that people are leaving because Callie left, Callie was hated by many people.

[alexxxxx]

The original 'lot' that went on Habbo have left, maily because they think they are too old. Habbo can't seem to get new people to join.

[Seatherny]

I think they realised habbo is just crap and they rob your money.
Or they realised its pointless spending money on pixels.
Also habbo isnt run fairly anymore and its full of n00bs

Its probaly because most people have gone back to school now.

Agreed, not sure whos to blame for the poor running of the hotel but n00bs seem to have increased steadily over the last few months

They don't rob your money, You're the one who thinks "Hey, I know what i'll do, I'll buy some Habbo Credits!"
They dont ask you for Credit Card Details when you register and charge you £5 a week / month.

[ebay]

yer i have noticed

[Scarcely]

Agreed, not sure whos to blame for the poor running of the hotel but n00bs seem to have increased steadily over the last few months

If n00bs are increasing, doesn't that mean there are more people joining?
Because when you join habbo, you don't know much do you...

[Nick-]

n00bs can be defined in different ways
In this sense its people who are arrogant and beleive that they are better than you because they have hc or have 'x' rare or 'x' amount of a particular rare

newb = newbie
noob = arrogant jerk usually ;)

Oh lmao, I never knew that. Ty :P

[Niall!]

erm cud it b the possible fact that v10 is now in sum other hotels and its not in the uk yet and they r jealous lol also i have 2 say this cuz it will be sooo funny:

OMG HABBO IS GONNA CLOSE AS THEY R LOSING MONEY OMGZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ NO

but seriously i still buy creds and there are other hotels so habbo wont close due to low funds and profits

[Niall!]

erm im being a bit hyper over this thread its kinda crap...

hu cares if lots of peeps leave... personaly i mite leave cuz its wasting to much of my life

[-<Josh>-]

I could give a first had point of view?

I dont go on Habbo Hotel anymore for simple reasons.

I grew up.

College has opened my eyes big time especially with huge amoutn of new friends i've made there. The work load is very heavy, dont have time for Habbo anymore. Plus partying obviously comes before. Who'd pass up the oppurtuanity to get hammered hey!

And to clarify i'm adding people from college onto msn which is why i am online! FOr you all who just started year 11. Have fun but... colege is way better :P

Peace out x

[Wig44.]

Don't torment us year elevens!!! It is probably because of school.

[Markness.]

i've been on habbo every day this week and to he honest i've spent the majority of the time sitting on hotel view.

it does get boring after a while, and havin a bunch of rares sitting in your room unused dosent mean you have acomplished anything, its a bit of an anti-climax

[Mitch4?]

I know lots of people who've quit in the past few weeks, for things including education. Other hotels. Bored of it. and yes, the odd person who has the OMG IM LEAVING HABBO CAUSE IT RUINS YOUR LIFE AND OMG!!! In otherwords meaning they have lost all their furniture. They're back the next day nearly all the time though.

I for one have not left, but i've certainly cut down. I'm now only going on for the around the world, so about every 5 days. when new ones are realeased etc. I'll then probably not go on it at all. Only for frequent visits, My lifestyle has suddenly got hetic. So that's 1 Less person on habbo.

[Jae]

I'm 13 i started when i was 10 lol and it sucks now, it was good then because there was lots of bugs and stuff.They should make a addon like habbo city or somthing, or where your habbos have to eat, sleep drink and stuff like Sims.That would be appealing to people.

Habbo does ruin kids lifes.

It is a false sense of security and acceptance in life, it makes kids think they are popular, and liked stuck infront of a PC with no social life. It can ruin a kids life, imagine it, being a Habbo at age 13 till 17 being obsessed on habbo and putting it first as you feel like your life is based on it as your accepted in this community, when you go out in the real world, you have no idea what to do.

Sulake exploit the fact that kids are unsecure and are often socially inept at this age.. which is great for a business, but crap for kids.

I dont think callies absence has anything to do with the user numbers, I think Its cause of school

[Rareoid]

I agree with you James. Habbo is crap... It took me a few years to realise it but I'm glad I have. I still log onto Habbo to check messages from friends and I'll continue to use the forums based around Habbo such as this, HabboHut, Habbo-Positive and Habbos but I'm not wasting a penny more on it.

I hope people realised what I've realised about Habbo and soon...

Somthing happend about 3 years ago. I'm not sure what but aloud of people all of a sudden got on to habbo and i was nagged to go on it! lol!

I think they advertizes on msn or somthing and its ratings went up!

It also seems more children go on it! many year 3's in my old school deffinaltly and it then came out as being for kids.

i don't think its for kids! They shouldant go on! people worried about there
street cred.

[Pyroka]

Mm i do agree Habbo is boring, but when it takes over my life WHICH IT HASNT yet, im going straight out of it. I guess though you can have a social life and go on Habbo alot at the same time? What Just-one said was a bit stereotypical :P I mean, ive learnt alot more on Habbo than i have in school about some things e.g. countries, religional beliefs, how to deal with certain things and much more.

Im not saying Habbo is a great thing and wont ruin anyones life but if you play it and not live it, i guess youre ok. Boy, i can imagine the Sulake staff of the future *giggles*

I don't believe that 550 is a surprising amount just after 9am: people aren't even in their ICT lesson to go on Habbo yet.

You were talking generally, and as some people said it's not news. I'm not going to start an argument, it'll just be a heated debate: one down from an argument.

True, but I think parents are that bit pushier when it's the beginning of a new year and stuff, and to confirm, I am at school with the majority of the Habbo population from Europe.

The last time I was off in a morning... about... I'd say about that time, the amount of Habbos was 1,000 in about January this year.

I don't believe there were 3,000 in school time, although I would agree with that in the summer holidays.

At about 5:30pm today, they got 8,000 no problem and reaching the 9,000 mark.

[Brody]

habbo seems to have gone down hill in the last 2 years for me the decline has been slowly but surley and now its noticeable too me its seems for like 9 year olds i no 8 and 9 year olds that play it soo

Not meaning to restore an old thread, however it is in context...

5,200 Habbos online at 9:30pm ;l!!! Thats seriously bad for habbo!

[Dentafrice1]

Me too.. I don't go on but about once a week now.. and thats just to check my console messages.. Habbo frankly has gotten boring and everyone has left..

[Pyroka]

V11 will probably change that in due time + Theyve got to get their advertising act together anyway!

[GommeInc]

That is pretty bad, 5,000 Habbos online is terrible, it used to be far more!

I only go on it about once a week too. I have also given up buying Habbo Club and furniture. It seems pointless to me, putting money into a lost cause where you can be banned for getting Habbo Club and told to ignore a paedophile is can easily nab a new Habbo who does not know about CFH or Ignore "/

[Dentafrice1]

I agree totally.. no reason to buy hc when you can get banned at any moment

[Joeymac]

Since when is saying Hi twice get you banned :P
critter moderators operating critter'd pixel site. geeze its funner to chuck money out a window then playing habbo. :)

[cunning]

It's that the UK Habbo really don't care about Habbos
I like how USA, CA & more are always giving out stuff but it's sad that the UK Habbo is always banning people

Have you noticed how they reply to your emails the best uk staff is someone named 0rca or something I dunno she is so respectful and professional

I like Becs and Ione because they're professional too
Well that's it :)

It's not as fun as it used to be when you didn't know anyone and you had no emotional attachments and you could just have fun without constant wars going on.

[You]

tbh, atleast callie did events at nights and weekends

[DCeption]

Urgh yeah, weekends are terrible now when you go on habbo :(

[You]

Yeah, No updates nothing ;/, Atleast callie at people run events

edit: i mean, no competitions or anything on the weekends

[lGreen]

I must agree, since Callie left there has been a huge loss of Habbo users.
I know alot of people didn't like Callie but she was a very good hotel manager for the UK hotel.
(ALSO) Many of you may remember when Callie was HM we reached the 15,000 mark for Habbo Users now you dont even see over 9,000 now.
But you stated above, that at the time you posted the thread that over 1,500 users would be online I think thats because alot of us going back to school as half term finished.
