If you owned Habbo?

[iDenning]

If you owned Habbo what would you do?

Sorry if this has already been posted :)

I would make new furniture and update the 'Offers' page, it's rather outdated.

[Yoshimitsui]

Sell it :P

[iDenning]

Sell it :P
LMAO

Tbh i would, think of how much youd get lmao

[thorn]

If i owned Habbo then i would run Events and competitions Regulary.

Get rid of Collectables and bring back the WANTED Rares.

I Would log on a lot so people don't think, "Omg He Never logs In!"

I would try to accept as many Friend Requests as i can, and be fair! not only accept the "E-Famous People"

Also i would try to Fix the Bugs a bit quicker.

I would listen to My Fellow Habbos.. or Harbos Has Americans Call it :D.
and see what they want in Habbo.

And other things tbh..
Just can't think of them Atm :D

Thorn For HM 2010 :D Lol

[Jackk]

as yoshi said, sell it straight away.

Competitions and events are run every week so you can't say they don't run them regulary. Collectables are rares; they simply have a different name. They're still new furniture and sold for the same price, would you prefer more recolors?

The community staff log on pretty much every working day as it's their job.

Most staff accept as many friend requests as they can but it's quite obvious that the more you accept the more you're gonna get so it's best to limit it to people that are actually important or that you know. Why did you have to add that thing about americans? racist! -rep


as yoshi said, sell it straight away.

Is that really a wise decision? Think about it; Dee Edwards sold Habbo UK to Sulake in 2001 and look at how much they've made from it. Surely it has the potential to make millions more - maybe billions.

I'd carry on doing what they're doing and reel in the cash, I guess.

[Richie]

If i owned habbo i would add this new feature :

If people with rights can kick and ban other habbos for 15 minutes and the owner can choose to ban forever, then to unban someone People with rights could do :Habbo then scroll through the list to find what user they want to unban.


I would also listen to feedback off habbos rather than ignore it, a decent bot reply would at least be nice rather than nothing.



But the honest thing i would really do is sell it as some of above have said.

[Ardemax]

sell it
put all the money in a high interest account
take it out just before i retire


sorted :eusa_danc

[e5]

asif you'd even think about owning Habbo :( that was so 2 years ago loooool.

I would get rid of it tbh ... sell it.

[uney93]

Start a fresh with habbo and not have as much furni just like the old days were rares came out like every month.

[Black_Apalachi]

I'm not sure why you'd sell it; it's a very profitable company which practically runs itself.

As for ideas; I would offer my most dedicated users an opportunity to still enjoy the Habbo they once knew and loved when they first registered. So I'd revert 'Old Habbo' back to a very old version, maybe Version 6 or 7 and leave it while BETA continued to grow separately.

I would also be more inclined to implement user ideas (as was mentioned above). By this I mean actually consider the better ideas which users submit and if there were any outstanding ones which were practical enough to use, then I'd have them implemented. I understand that they're unlikely to just accept a random furni idea for no reason that a user sends in, so I wouldn't hold a competition but I'd announce the fact we were open to ideas and any amazing ones we got we'd consider.

[HabsAZillion]

If you mean own Habbo as in the guys who get all the profits from it, which is I think whoever the boss/founder/whatever is all the way in Helsinki, Finland. So if I was Finnish and went to Habbo FI and like got really high (not on drugs) and kill the Owner guy then I would do this:

1. First move the HQ to England because the only word of Finnish I know is when I went on Habbo FI and said English and someone said mita, which means what. So unless if I went and said mita to everyone I'd have to do that (or I could be sneaky and move it to the USA (I wanna live there!) then get a Business visa then spend ages in America untill they let me have a Green Card then erm I'd get citizenship and yeah).

2. I thought the Newsie and the Movie Club things were great, so I'd bring those back.

3. The Hello Furni would go and I'd make there be a monthly gift for active members which would be exclusive and tradeable. Instead of the rares I'd have like a rare if you spend over 6 hours a month playing Habbo or whatever. But the rares would be like norms but oh well.

4. I'd get Habbo UK, Habbo US, Habbo SG, Habbo CA and Habbo AU into one habbo.com and use all the servers for all the users in some way (I'm sure Technical Support would do it), do a massive cleanup of accounts (I'd notify people a couple weeks before through email and stuff if they havent used habbo for ages) of accounts which haven't logged in for 1.5 years or longer and delete them then I'd delete all permanently banned users then reopen Habbo (with no US or whatever) with a massive Welcome. Obviously staff in other countries wouldn't be made redundant, they'd all just be helping Habbo.com from their own countries or if they're Management invite them to work wherever I am (if it's even legal). This would hopefully be one of the biggest updates in Habbo History. All other International Habbos can do that if two speak the same languages. There'd also be the Habbo source and website in lots of servers so if one goes down it just reroutes to the other :eusa_whis:D:D:D.

5. At this point I'd buy one of those flying car things (or two), get my pilot's license, get a laptop and mobile Internet and whatever, then leave habbo.com for a year in the co-manager's hands and travel the world into some countries where they have never heard of Habbo. If anyone has any domain name with the word "habbo" in, except Sulake, I'd first hire a broker and try to get it back by luring it back with about £500, if they refuse tell them they're breaching copyright, if they refuse attempt to sue them. Then yeah.


Okay I'm stopping there before you all die of old age. My only other step in my business plan would be selling off all the useless domain names like habbocity.com which redirect to sulake, and I mean not for £8000. I'd sell that weird IRC-Galleria thing to either a Finnish company (as with me in charge Sulake wouldn't even be based in Finland) or something like Facebook.

[dbgtz]

You couldnt merge them at this stage :P

If I bought it cheap because it was going downhill I'd revamp it and give it a new idea rather then a hotel.
If I just got it for free because of some weird reason then I'd just make everyone else run it and I'd just go on for da e-fame and people sucking up to me. I'd make some of the decisions to make more users come on, the decisions would be mostly user based so people actually like them.
Then in a few years I'd sell, assuming it gets more valuable.

[Immenseman]

ban the people i didn't like. unban everyone. re-ban those i didn't like. take furni from those i didn't like, give it to those i liked. ban casinos but make one myself and make it an official habbo casino. get rid of all fansites i don't like.

[Black_Apalachi]

[James9519]

I'd make my own clothes and bring out a new branch of HC which is like, Royal and you get ROyalty Clothes and like Posh Beds and Stuff.
I'd accept lots of F/R's

Make an Unlimited Friend List actually.

Update the Offers Catalogue.

Lower the price of Pixel Effects =p

Make a new catalogue which is the same as the one we have now, but all NEON colours, like 2 catalogues, one Norm, the other Neon. :D

You mean after you may it worthless you would sell it? :P

[Arch]

Get rid of the stupid fansite rule then sell it

[iDenning]

I'd also pay PPL like 1mil so they let every habbo fansite have a radio.

[Calvin]

i already own it

[efq]

I'd contact the Manager or leader of whatever global hotels and tell them to contact Habbox (and other big fansites) to ask on the forums and websites what ideas they would want for Habbo to be improved. Then pick 15-20 maybe more and display it on the website and email all the Habbos to vote then gradually apply the changes if they are reasonable. Open a live support thing, bring back Hobbas or similiar.

I'd make sure there was also a lot of new furniture updates, constant events (maybe hiring 1 or 2 staff to control that) and a lot more.

[iDenning]

I would bring out branded clothes, like Adidas, Nike.

[AgnesIO]

I would bring out branded clothes, like Adidas, Nike.


That would cost habbo money.

[iDenning]

That would cost habbo money.
So, have you saw how much they get from gullible little teenagers buying credits?!

xD

[Kyle]

That would cost habbo money.

Surely it would cost the companies money rather than Habbo, that would be offering international advertising for their product?

[syko2006]

Keep it for a few months, then sell, put the money in the bank, and live from the interest.

In the time that I keep it, I would want to get some thrones and stuff. Lol. :)

:D

[AgnesIO]

Not if habbo want to use THEIR products for THIER use ;)

If on the other hand Nike wanted there product advertised THEN habbo would make money :)

[Japan]

I'd sack all the mods :)

Why not? If scattering the User DB things across the english-speaking world doesn't work I'd just close Habbo down for a couple days backup the User DB then put it in servers for one IP address and reopen it.



Oh yeah problem is guys you don't understand owning Habbo isn't just about making everything how you like it then selling it, you have to pay for server maintenance, very very good hosting, advertising, actually paying the people who work for you, and if the offices are rented the office rent, and food, and cleaning, and gardening (if needed), and security, and even seeing if your employee's are doing what they're doing. Seriously what you guys are doing could take ages and money and could put Habbo into bankruptcy, which would make millions of people mad at whoever and the hundreds of fansites forced to close down or make something better.


Oh and another thing if Habbo is using Dedicated/VPS Servers I'd get the backups for all those buy about 25TB worth of actual servers (which would cost around £300k but is a good investment as it makes you have much better control) clear out a hardly used room make a server room and get a technician to put it all in and install the Database. Then and ONLY then I'd reroute the domain names and cancel the dedicated servers,

People aren't totally stupid, it's just a thread for ideas you'd like to see implemented in the hotel.

I'd look into bringing Habbo to portable platforms like iPhone's and stuff as that's possibly where the future lies for games like Habbo.

[Immenseman]

i'd make all my friends mod too

[Black_Apalachi]

i'd make all my friends mod too

on second thoughts I'd just sell it if I was you cos it's gonna fail :P

[JACKTARD]

become a hotel manager, get lots of decent stuff on an acc then sell it.,

[katweazel]

I'D GET MODS THAT ACTUALLY DO WHAT THEY ARE SUPPOST TO ..NOT SEND AUTOMATED REPLY'S THAT ARE AS HELPFULL AS A CHOCOLATE FIREGUARDS..
GIVE ROOM MODS THE ABILITY TO KIK AND BAN..
AND MAKE SURE STAFF ANSWER THE PHONE INSTEAD OF USING AN ANSWER MACHINE

Wow calm it love :P

I agree though just NOT IN THAT MUCH OF A BAD MOOD lol

[AlexOC]

Tell all my mates, Because they'd think i'm really cool.

[Black_Apalachi]

If you went from owned to manager you would no longer own it therefore wouldn't have it to sell :P. lmao

[Shibby-Shabs]

They don't ignore it, theres currently 1400 habbos on Australia's hotel 1882 on America's hotel 6456 on United Kingdom's hotel so Imagen in ONE day how many users would login, find a bug report it, complain, report a user, report a retro and to add it all up give suggestions, they try hard to reply and their AUTO Responder is a default thing, they take on your ideas, and if they have time and think it could work they'll do it after they finish everything else like:


New Furniture
New Cloths
Updates (eg. different rights styles)


If you were a BETA Tester you should of seen the amount of suggestions.

[UrbanRyan]

I'd probably get involved a bit more with the community, make Habbo like it was a couple of years ago - none of this web 2.0 crap.

[Shibby-Shabs]

I'd probably get involved a bit more with the community, make Habbo like it was a couple of years ago - none of this web 2.0 crap.

Totally agree, although the new template looks nicer the old one had pages like "the team" showing the staff but these days nearly every page is a habbo group.

[Immenseman]

yeah. more community based again would be cool.

[iDenning]

They should visit rooms so it encourages people to make more and better rooms, cuz its cool when staff come in :P Even tho they dont have time -.-

[Black_Apalachi]

They do. They've started sessions where they'll explore the gaming room section. I think it's Friday afternoons or sometime on the weekend.

[kickerbat]

ide sell it to google after ive got everybodys creditcard info lol and sell that to the russian mafia, and get 4.5billion :D... then move to some remote land, and buy a country.

[Ardemax]

releaz the thonezzzz!!!111!!

[J0SH]

As I'd own Habbo, I'd change the Habbo way, then as I'd own it I'd spawn as much as I could on various accounts, then just make an eBay business where I'll sell supers and such and make a lot of ££.

Then when that fails and people no longer have an intrest to buy, I'll sell it.

[jacko2244]

i'd make tv adverts, get habbo more popular, then after about 5 years sell it for billions :D

also this thread should be stickied.

Why do you act like this thread is yours and say what should be done and what shouldn't and reply to every post with your thoughts :S -rep if I could but need to spread.

Anyway, I would put TV Ads in actually, as Habbo isn't really that well known and has the potential to be even bigger. I'd also make it so the user has more power over themselves and there rooms e/g can kick who they want in there room, can ban who they want forever, can control who does what rights wise and can put as much furni as they want down.

[Black_Apalachi]

I saw a Habbo TV advert while I was in Paris.

[brandon]

Make everything more expensive, come up with new ways to get people to spend their money so I can bleed them dry. Maybe even charge to play.

Thats like 6/7 posts, and none of them have you actually replied to the question being asked in the first one 'mate' :rolleyes:

So what if people are saying stuff that seems unrealistic, it's not like anyone here is going to own habbo, this thread was done to see what people want, so how about you stop critisising what people are saying and actually post something constructive... and btw, calling people love and mate when you don't know them is very very patronising.

[Hazzles]

ban everyone who annoyed me.. LOL

[Oleh]

id go around and act as a normal habbo and play games n stuff, id give people random furni for no reason and generally be a nice owner

:P

[Fart]

go bk to v9 and leave it like that

[Dean]

Sell it

[Black_Apalachi]

Callie - HM
ione & Jibbi - Asst. HMs
Dionysus, HelKat, redtiz and all the old staff back as staff.
Hobba system back with all the old eXperts and any ex-Hobbas still around offered the job.
Collectables gone. Rares back.
Old Newsie back + 1 Typo prize per week.
Funky Friday back but not user submitted cos they were stupid.
Actual content pages instead of lazy arse "Group Pages" for everything.
Just get stupid little bugs fixed instead of leaving them for months and months. Hire extra staff to do this if necessary.

[Blinger1]

You all say "sell it" but would you really? You would make a decent amount without having to sell it.. Think of the profit Sulake makes from its users..

I'd keep it, then i could invest in more companies and the cycle begins again ;)

Just as the above is ;)
