Habbo then, and now..

[Jayke]

Well yeh, I have played no doubt for about 4 years now. But its getting absolutely stupid. For the reasons I say below;


Then:

Habbo was a game, people played games, it was actually a fun game to play. Trading was the main way to make and gain furni.

Now:

Its just all about scamming and casinos. Everything is about casinos, there is no other decent way of gaining or making furni. It's just a money game, you only play if you have furni and the main goal is to make more and more. It's just greed!


Anyway yeh, I dont see the point in playing anymore to be honest. And its just annoyed me all this time I have spent to loose everything and think of all the time and effort wasted.

(Thinking about re-joining runescape). =]

Or maybe it's because you've grown out of it? Habbo starts to get boring once you reach 16+ (well it did for me). The last time I was on there was **** loads of updates. I'd have had a field day with them all when I was about 13-15 lol.

[Immenseman]

It depends what you do on Habbo. If you just hang around casinos then all you'll hear about is scamming and stuff. Or if you just go to like lounges/help desks or whatever and talk to other people then it's alright. Well it is for me anyway.

[100Thrones]

If you don't like it just give up with it.

[:Technical]

Everyone has their own opinion about Habbo.

[GreenCrayons.]

I also thought this, but its many other games also, Due to the way games are evolving and modernising, online games are keeping up, No one likes change but meh.. What can you do!

[Jayke]

It's like not even fun.

Paintball, wheres that?
Wobble Squabble, where that?

It's supposed to be a game, not a stock market!

It is yes, but too many people are just playing it for cash - half of them scam the money too!

Basically half the people that play it, aint clever enough to get a job so they scam pixels.

True true, and I think its a place where geeks/unliked people irl can feel special that they are famous online.

If its all about gambling and casino's then Whyyyyy is there so many people pretending to be baby's and adopt family's e.c.t. there are plenty of roleplaying things like, schools, bars, Hospitals, they even made pixelated cars :( I think it's ging both ways, its becoming more and more about gambling but also more and more younger ( even younger than 10 i have seen! ) People going around roleplaying. I think because I am quite old now, it makes it seem worse all these people running around with bald heads and bows pretending to talk in a funny language.

[Jayke]

No, the thing im getting at is, the game revolves around gaining money, its not a game its like a way of life.

You HAVE to HAVE furni and you HAVE to get more, and people will and HAVE done anything to get more furni.

E.g - Buying Thrones For Post!!!
E.g - Buying Thrones For Cash!!!
E.g - Type Your Password In Comes Out As ******!!!

Get what im hinting at, just idiots taking the game to the next level, basically turning the game into a bank.

&

Friends, they seem to choose furni over you its really wierd. People will do anything.

[FlyingJesus]

You're still wrong no matter how often you say it

[Jayke]

If thats what you think then mate :eusa_wall

[GreenCrayons.]

I agree, habbo isnt fun no more, it used to be games etc, and if you got some furni you was lucky and you just took it, placed it down and carried on gaming and meeting friends, now its constantly, getting money etc etc, even noobs are getting tight when buying things.
I MEAN ***!

Everyone has their own opinion about Habbo.

No, everyone has the same opinion!!:rolleyes:
It got boring for me when they brought all the new stuff in, like Homepages and new badges and stuff. But tbh, I was getting bored of it before then so that might be it.

Making habbo retro ftw :D

[OhLiam]

Habbo was great back in the day but no it hasn't changed (excluding the updates) it's always been filled with Casinos and no I think the scamming has been cut down slightly.

So I think this post was only created out of rage for you losing your furniture. Habbo is a game you choose how you play it. If you spend your time in casinos you will end up losing alot. There's more of a chance of you losing in a casino than win. It's greed that makes you bet.

[Jayke]

But I dont bet, I take bets.

Name was; 76z but I got a perm for saying log :S.


Log meant as in, did you do a log on the toilet. Not log for keylog. I am unable to appeal because I have lost my linking email.

Oh well.

[thorn]

Err.. Habbo isn't a game

Its an Online community. A Game always has an end, Habbo doesn't have an end?

[paulbarker7]

He said everyone has their own opinion, not the same opinion. In my experience, Habbo got boring when things like help desks went out of fashion because most of my friends left. Without help desks, there isn't much a 17+ year old can do on Habbo without feeling silly. (my opinion)

thanks for that, but i can read.:)

Habbo Retro's are even worse though?

Nothing to aim for..

[-:Undertaker:-]

The people who are just after fame and attention, ignore them. I have and it doesn't spoil the game if you ignore them. If you let them get to you it does give you the impression of stuck up nerds on Habbo who think they are amazing when in reality, they sit in at lunch times in school playing Habbo.

As for trading, I do think it has declined slightly but as a hotel at the moment we're richest we've ever been so it isn't all bad if you miss trading. If your looking to be negative about Habbo then theres loads of negative things to pick out, but if you just play it and ignore what you dont like then its not a bad game. At least on Habbo you can talk about outside things to people rather than on other games such as Runescape where all people talk about is the actual game itself.

Exactly, just because they are rich and E-famous in a Virtual world environment that doesn't mean that there better then anyone else. They are just small minded people if you ask me and the only thing they have which some people haven't got is just furniture and what's that lol? It's fake!

Yeah Habbo has got really boring and crap now, it's just full of noobs who scam and everyone is just competing with each other seeing who can be the richest or who can be the most well known and stupid stuff like that.

I've decided to leave about month ago due to my important Diploma course work and other important stuff coming up. It's time to call it a day and sell up.

Habbo won't last for too long anyway, a few more years i would say.

[Tub]

I think It's changed because habbo has got alot bigger and more well known, so theres lots of new users constantly joining, these huge numbers of new users outnumber the people that have been playing a while, so then the hotel becomes full of immature 10-13 year old noobs and all of the older users get tired of habbo because of this and leave. Meanwhile the people at sulake don't care because they have got people joining and buying credits, as long as they are making money they don't care how crap the hotel is, they just add new bull **** features every few months to keep noobs playing.

Well thats what I think anyway.

I prefer to enter competitions now & sit around in help desks/chat & discussion rooms rather than sitting in casinos which I used to do quite a lot. Can't be arsed with all these 13/14 year old kids thinking they're hard as f*** over the internet acting like little net gangsters.

I'm 14 but I don't go around thinking I'm all hard.
Mind you, I grew out of Habbo about a year ago.

[Sluing]

No offense, but all these threads are, are cry outs of how much you love Habbo.

Habbo has many aspects in which people fall under. Greed is a huge one and you don't always have to have stuff to be greedy. Greed can consist in those like this thread who cry out saying it's all about the furni, when in reality, you're pissed because you don't posses anything. No offense, and to be honest I get on these spells once in while where I want something to mess about with and even say I've got something.

Habbo is habbo and Habbo has always acted in the same way. We just have several new things to interact amongst.

Summing it all up, all this you're jabbing about now has always been there. New things have developed, causing new aspects for habbos to fall under.

IT USED to be all about trading and casinos, because that's all there was. Now, there's tons to be all about.


I really get tired of these threads, convos or whatever you classify them as, seriously.

Thorn:
Err.. Habbo isn't a game

Its an Online community. A Game always has an end, Habbo doesn't have an end?

About a month back I said to a few mates:
"at the end of the day, habbo is just a game"
One of them took it quite seriously saying that its much more and that and its a social networking site n shiz o.o
I was quite confused because to me, in the five years I've played, habbo has just been a game, nothing more tbh
Just like I would play sims or age of empires

I think people take the game a lil too seriously now, I go on to play a game and have fun, thats not saying I dont take the people Im playing with seriously, ive found some really nice people on it.

[JACKTARD]

i stick to hanging around with people i get on with and trading :)
i never bet and dont play games often

[Accipiter]

Moaning about habbo seems to becoming a long hard attention seeking disorder by the looks of it. Everyone uses it as an excuse... If your bored, why do you need to explain it to us? it just makes us bored.

[dbgtz]

tbh i think the idea of this "big update" is to make us more interested in it
really they just need more room games.

Luke (Mr-t) and I will tell you, no gambling? You missing out LOL

[Jordan:A]

I remember the days with no creds and youd buy furni and swap it for other furni
