Habbo Office in READING ????

[Fred]

Hello happy forum :)

I've recently been in contact with Trading Standards regarding a problem I'm having with Habbo Hotel. They've sent me the following email in which they say to write to Habbo at and address in Reading.

Has anyone written to Reading before from here or indeed heard of it? The only address listed on the main Sulake website lists London.

Private parts, along with most of the address have been blanked out of the screen shot.

Lol well I thought I'd better leave a bit of it in there ready for the screams of "it's a fake" etc so that anyone who lived there might know something. Didn't think anyone would post it :D

Ok thank Louis, just curious really as we all assume that all the staff are in the London offices so wondered what this place might be.


----- Edit after reading the above post : OOOO So they have 2 offices in the Uk :o Well why the hell aren't they doing a better job at running the place then :s

As far as I knew the Habbo Uk Office was in Islington, London.

Is a bit more proof supplied by dessler

My theory is the offices in reading are where some off the behind the scence sulake staff are , this office is for other sulake projects like cokemusic / vmk etc
That's just a theory though :(

[Fred]

Ok thanks alot guys :) Just wanted to know if that address does have anything to do with Habbo or not ready for when I send my next lot of letters off.

It's a week tomorrow since I first contacted LW and haven't heard anything yet :(

Uh-huh, it's like Microsoft has its research center in Reading (I think) and they've got other studios like the new games studio opening soon, in the UK. It's probably just a different branch. Sulake is the root, and it has branches around the UK, I really doubt Sulake own just Habbo UK HQ. ;)

[Jordy]

lol no one ever seems to believe me on this but finally you have some proof.

Sulake have a base in the UK (Reading) probably for all there legal stuff, lawyers, copyright peeps etc. And the Habbo UK HQ is in London.

I'm very interested in the email though, trading standards have a problem with Habbo's terms and conditions, at last someone professional has realised how unfair they are!

I think those are in Sulake..

Anyway, nice find!

[Pyroka]

Probably yeah, in finland because then they can manage everything and upload all the images onto the servers fast. Who knows though!

[Aflux]

All Habbo servers are in Helsinki.

[Shawnstra]

Well I heard it was located in reading, nice find though :)

Yes :) about time too I say!

I quite liked the part;

"We would suggest that because Habbo (or the company Sulake UK) are
providing a service that is being paid for, then they have a
responsibility to provide that service with reasonable care and skill,
which in your case would mean supplying a reliable service. "

How many Battleballers and Snowstormers have lost out in the Challenges due to the scoring system breaking?

A fair and well organised competition or just a complete con? Suppose for them it doesn't matter just as long as you keep paying and buying stuff :(

[le harry]

Theres a town called Reading :S

[PriceTags]

I'm intrigued to find out why you wrote to Trading Standards in the first place.

Sulake UK = Reading
Habbo UK = London

Two totally different offices, for totally different things!
