I Haven't been on habbo for a while and came on today to notice their new front page which states "Join us in Habbo, world's biggest virtual world".
Surely they are either living in the past or deluded, the amount of users that are active daily on all of their websites joined together fail big time in comparison to websites like SecondLife, WoW and GaiaOnline which still rapidly increase by every quarter.
Habbo was the second most popular virtual world around 2 years ago, just behind WoW but you never hear of Habbo winning awards anymore (Unlike VW's such as SecondLife who are constantly picking up awards) and the range of VW/MMOs out right now is massive, all of which boast a big amount of users.
GaiaOnline had the world's largest forum on the internet up untill very recently when '2chan(nel)' topped it and now hold one of the most popular MMO Games on it's website among it's existing forum and the actual virtual world clients.
I'm not talking about how many people have registered to the websites, i mean active regular users/subscribers who actually continue to use the website.
btw - i'm not "having a go" at Habbo for stating it, because it's just common for a brand to state they are the biggest/best etc even if it most likely false advertisement.
I've always tried to support Habbo as an 01'er but i doubt Habbo keeps up with all the new stuff their rivals bring out, nevermind beating them.
- Does anyone think Habbo are way behind on the battle of Virtual Worlds/MMOs and lost the war a long time ago?
- Does anyone agree with them on their statement?
This is just a light debate, so don't cry or see this is an opportunity to rant about Habbo.
