arcade

[Alkaz]

because the arcade is only open to people with vip and it is no longer on sale could it be opened up entirely or to people with donator aswell?

I believe eventually features such as the arcade will become accessible to 'higher ranking' members of the Forum (i.e. Platinum). That way it will still be a bonus feature, but one you will earn if you progress high enough on the promotion scale.

Nvr said that would happen when people start running out of VIP..

Platinum, there is like 3 people on the entire forum who have a platinum ranking.

Ye Ross, alot of people did, but they changed the ranks, its like 10,000 posts or more which a vast majority of people dont have.

22 Members infact out of so many thousand and 100's of active users.

A lot of VIP can still be won via various departments. They have a nice allowance each month of how much they can give out, so there will still be a lot of VIPs around. If it ever does become available it would be the higher ranks of the user promotion system as Garion said, but who knows when that might happen when there will still be quite a few VIPs around. We can't open it up to donator either as that will be getting a service in exchange for money which is what their gay rules forbid.

Its a waste of time anyway, just go onto a game website and you get the exact same games

[Alkaz]

Maybe people want to compete with each other though?
+ I get what you say sam, is it just community departments or all? Because apart from moderation I dont really see any giving it out.

[Sammeth.]

I think they have the option to, however it might just be a bit more difficult. Graphics could always have a graphics competition or whatever, but I'm not so sure on the content side of things. I know HxL give out around 10 months of VIP per month, HxHD give out 2 I think, Rare Values will be giving out 2 shortly, Events and Competitions also have the option to give out VIP so there's a lot of opportunities.

[Alkaz]

When you say it like that but I barely see any competitions or anything to win prizes except in big game week things.

[Sammeth.]

I'll see what I can do to improve the departments uses of their allowance - in particular Events and Competitions as I think the other departments have pretty much established their own uses for it.

I don't see the point in continuing with VIP as prizes because if though departments have allowances it'll still be minority of members who have it. I think some features should be kept for VIP (ie seeing rep givers) but something major like the Arcade should be open to all in my opinion.

It is given out its just difficult to see as its split up. Here are some examples.

- Member of the Month - 6/8 subscriptions given out each month
- Competitions - Several subscriptions given out each month
- HabboxLive - Up to I believe 8 subscriptions given out each month
- Events - Several subscriptions given out each month (more when special events occur)
- HxHD - VIP given out for quizzes, I believe a couple each month
- Rare Values - Planned to have weekly or biweekly competitions with rare values trivia to win VIP.

So I think the target is to give out about 50 subscriptions monthly.

Well VIP will become more of a way to gain things quickly than a special thing. so most things including the arcade will be achievable by way of the star system but if you're VIP you would get that immediately.

The only problem I have with using the star system as a way of unlocking things is that it may encourage people to post pointlessly more often and then there's the issue of off putting new members who will have a long way to go to earn it.

On the flip side, it is a great way to encourage more usage of the forum but I guess the moderators would have to ensure that this usage wasn't pointless.
