I have seen lots of other peoples thoughts on V11, so i thought i would post mine. i will give my thoughts on v11 overall, the maintennance breaks and everything else related to v11.
firstly, i will give my views and opinions as to why v11 wasnt installed all in 1 go and why we are still waiting for other features [the recoloured mode being an example]
Firstly, imagine the situation from Sulakes point of view. you are about to install the latest version of Habbo Hotel onto the UK Hotel. Habbo UK is Sulakes biggest money earner, bringing in about 40% of Sulakes total income.
as you may have been aware, v11 comes with several brand new features, some of which cost credits. like the sleeping bag, extra things for your habbohome and also tickets for the new game being released.
now then. if you were incharge of Sulake would you release v11 in 1 big go?
i wouldnt. and heres why...
you may have noticed that they are releasing it a bit at a time. theres a clever tactic behind this as i will explain....
the actuall installation of v11 with the basics took well over 12 hours. which is a huge amount of downtime. meaning that sulake would have lost a considerable amount of money.
imagine what the downtime would have been like to fully release v11? it could have taken well over 24 hours. which would have hit Sulakes income like a sack of bricks.
Also, here is another reason why they are only releasing it bit by bit. The new features will mean a lot more income. but to maximise the potential income Sulake are only releasing the new stuff bit by bit.
releasing it all in one go wouldnt have the same effect. as people would have struggled to decide what to buy credits for and how many. The slow release of features means that those Habbos that can afford it can get enough credits to spend on each feature as and when it is released.
now can you see why they arent releasing it all at once?
as for the maintennance breaks, ive seen people in many other threads moaning about how it always happens and that they should set times "during the day" or late at night to do the maintennance breaks.
its not that easy, its not like the techys can think "right somethings going to go wrong at 3am on such n such a day so we will put the hotel on maintennance then"
the maintennance breaks happen for a very good reason. whether it be to add new things, or fix old things that have broken. and i dont know about the rest of you but id rather they have regular maintennance breaks to put things right, than to leave it for things to get worse.
im sorry for writing so much. most of you will probably post that you couldnt be bothered reading it all. if you are one of those people, save your breath.
i would prefer that people read what ive got to say carefully. if you cant do that, just don't post saying "i coulnd be bothered reading it all but..."
to those that read the entire post, thanks for your time :)
