She thought up the idea, and got sulake to help her create it. After making £1million she sold her part of the company to sulake who then had 100% control of habbo. At the time they didn't really have an HM, but people do call her the first HM, which she kind of is.

No, Aapo and Sampo made habbo after making Mobiles and an old version of Snow Storm, they sold it to Sulake who Daisy happened to work for.

Habbo LTD was founded by Internet
entrepreneur Dee Edwards (Daisy) in January 2001, and was backed by the venture
capitalist company Electric Mother Ventures. Habbo Hotel was developed in
partnership with Sulake Labs Oy - a private software development company which
to this day is still located in Finland, it uses Fuse technology to create
unique spatial Internet communities. The concept underlying Habbo Hotel
originated from 'Hotelli (http://www.habbofan.co.uk/images/HotelliKultakala.PNG)
Kultakala (http://www.habbofan.co.uk/images/HotelliKultakala.PNG)', a site developed by Sulake and launched in
Finland in August 2000 for the Internet Service Provider Kolumbus it was so good
that it had already won the "most fun and innovative web application" prize from
the Grand Prix 2000.

Each Habbo has room override for their own rooms, even if locked or full.

I think room owners can over-ride now in their own rooms. Last night I had no problem getting into the Panto Entrance, and that was chocka.

The fact that Aapo and the other dude created Hotel Goldfish, that Mobile Disco thing - then they got together and those swedish dudes made Sulake and Daisy was the first HM.

Obviously when it's full she shuts and gives them a donation. Then when it dies down she opens again. Anyway it's full AGAIN :eusa_wall

She said she has to leave the country at 4:15 ... the people in the room are the final set of people.

She just accidently traded me a xmas tree.. I gave it back though.

Can I ask why? :P And also, I make a point of not being one of those people that always turns up for these events :) It's all luck of the draw who gets in, and most of these people are on Habbo all the time - so normally are there when the alert goes out.

24-12-2006, 05:31 PM

The people who know about the forthcoming events, such people like you, the x's and all their 'cool' mates usually know before hand.

The lesser-known habbos, and lesser-rich habbos don't have a clue - but if you let them in the get some free furniture, you know - Daisy tries to do something good, and yeh, she does - but people are complaining about only getting a duck, and only getting an xmas tree when you should be glad because in reality most people would - there are habbos that don't have anything, and therefore you shouldn't be so greedy, selfish and foolish.

Not just you, infact probably not you at all.

Very few people actually know about these beforehand, it's normally just one or two that spread the information.

That's a very good point - at least they're getting something. I remember when I started... I got a stool from someone and it made my day :D

Not just you, infact probably not you at all.

Why thank you :)

24-12-2006, 06:25 PM

Its very nice of her to this anual giveraway again , the kind thing is she is not longer staff therefore she doesnt get any free furni! she paysfor it all with her owm money , also i cant remember who said it but habbo staff get free furni to use in events and quests , there not allowed to jsut give it away as it belongs to sulake.

Daisy did not create habbohotel , she was a buisness woman aso she had an eye out for projects , she saw to skillful finish students called aapo and sampoo who where making onlien games for their friends like snowstorm and habbo disco , She thought she could make money out of it so she invested money into bringing it into the UK , aapo and sampoo created the actual gameplay , saisy was there to finace the project and keep everything running smoothly , a year after she got a turnover profit of £1million so she decided it to sell it to sulake a finish company.
It may seem like daisy did nothing but without her aapo & sampoo mini sites would have closed and habbo wouldnt have tooken off without funding.

Lmao Andrew hahaha, He seems to think he knows everything about Habbo but to make his points seem true, to use you as a figure of truth? I agree with the points of the people who have been on Habbo a long time getting into the event and their are misfortunate Habbo's. I also hate the fact that people are complaining about the fact of receiving something, even if it is a duck. Fact is that duck cost her 10p and 10p is better than no p? You want to think about the people in this world who get nothing this Christmas, Yet you're complaining about a present on a pixel Hotel. I think some of you need a reality check and stop being so spoilt.

To the point about Habbo Staff not being able to give their furniture out, They are allowed to give it to whom they choose, but they aren't allowed to go round trading with Furniture they have given themselves, the tool is used for campaign events - events - prizes - refunds (if applicable)

Nice on Daisy on doing the event, I got a chance to speak to her a while ago and she seemed like a really nice person. Happy Christmas to everyone aswel :)
