[Pyroka]

Guess its all those protests...

[Rozi]

oh hallway protests were the bomb.

[mlp16]

Protests have moved to Lido II, Hotel Reception but the main room atm Theatredrome

[Pyroka]

Judging from one of the threads about the Habbo exchange 'commision', I think it was closed due to protests LOL! and I was just kidding too

[Suspective]

They do have a good reason to protest to.

[thorn]

Hmm Wont this increase the value of Credits though ? Just w/e you do, DONT EXCHANGE THEM lol.

[Ajthedragon]

Omg, he's truly and idiot.

[Charlottay!]

my god. ludus needs to get a grip and get out

[Phil]

my god. ludus needs to get a grip and get out

I could not agree with you more!

[wixard]

[hah]

i hate the way he adds x's to his messages

[wixard]

[Jordy]

Drome is muted that's for sure (Unsure who did it as there's no staff member in there from what I can see).

[hah]

i dont do it, it pisses me of so much lol i wanna reef him lol

[::Art::]

This is rediculous

[wixard]

reception protest is funnier

they are rasta mon

[Markeh]

they ought to do protests in Main Lobby, afaik you can get 120 ppl in there.

[Jordy]

It's moved to Lido II, tension is building up there :)

You're best doing it in popular rooms as it'll make Habbo look bad to everyone else and the newbies.

Edit: Lido II is also full (Small room capacity), so is the Habbo Library. Large protest in slice of life however.

[::Art::]

They will probably shut down public rooms next.

[hah]

im seizing control on the hotel to bring u lot under control

[sammy]

LOL @ ludus saying 'Please find a new room :)'

Im in Slice of Life - its heating up in there. Lido II is also full too!

[thorn]

Why is everyone bloody blaming ludus :l


IT WAS DISCUSSED WITH THE WHOLE HABBO WORLD.

Habbo.nl i think had it done.



Ludus didnt just walk into the office and say-
HA HA LETS PEE OFF THE HABBO UK AND CHANGE THE CREDITS.

It will happen EVERYWHERE.

Stop the Protests, they will get you no-where.

[davidg61]

AFAIK NL. has a cost in pixels to exchange coins, which is a far better idea (though no cost is the best). They really should have searched for alternative methods of gaining revenue rather than resorting to these means. At least if you "tax" the purchase of credits, only do it on the larger more convenient amounts. 1c fee on a 1c coin is a 100% increase, how stupid.

[Jamiie]

Haha this is hillarious he is so hated now

[hah]

O M G NO! I love the hallways they're where I strut my pimp self out. =[[

[Special]

Hahahaha now you can't even voice your opinions on what Sulake are doing.

Just proves Habbo's have no control over what happens

E.G: Surveys mean nothing and all Sulake are doing are making money off them, which can be backed up with http://webstore.sulake.com/

Wow I've never seen that before; just shows that with a pixel incentive and some persuasion from a "hotel manager" your information and opinions can be sold. Absolutely crazy.

i know, it's really not that hard to see that Sulake are taking advantage of us all, even the people who spend nothing at allon Habbo - they use a survey which is free to fill in and then sell it on.

[Suspective]

Looks like the March on Government room is being raided :P

[Baioslaio]

They did this to the Swedish habbo a week ago :P But the Swedish habbos didnt seem to understand what happened.

[crazed]

my god. ludus needs to get a grip and get out

I'd rather him do this than argue. At least he is doing something about the problem, didn't see l_w doing much...

[Seatherny]

They surely must be making more money even though it is the recession. The maintainence cost is low. They make millions every year, so why increase credit prices :S

It's this new thing where companies try to maximise profit :P

[Seatherny]

The Sulake company provides Habbo in over 30 countries, with an estimated revenue of $67,000,000 for 2006. Sulake earns this revenue via four methods; selling in-game credits, website advertisement and sponsorship and Habbo-related merchandise.

Yes you have emphasized my point. Multinational corporations posting tens of millions of quarter revenue do tend to adore profit.

Sulake, has reported a €2.8 million profit for the financial year 2008.

Considering how big the company is, the profit is actually very low.

Unless you put that in USD I'm not going to know how much it is, but I'm assuming it's a heck of a lot less than that 60 or so million they got in 2006.

Revenue and profit are different.
And its
3,793,441 USD.
or
£2,537,782

Either way, its quite low for such a large company.

We were talking revenue before and I assumed. I took 2 economic courses in college and got a 93% on the exam you know!!

They must have one hell of an overhead.

[Seatherny]

Helsinki, March 30, 2009 – Sulake Corporation, the parent company of Habbo, the world ‘s largest virtual world for teenagers, broke all previous records with sales 20% up in December 2008. As a result the company reached an annual revenue milestone of 50 million Euros (74 million USD) leading to profit; 4.8 million Euros (7 million USD) of EBITDA and a positive net result.

Sorry it turns out its 4.8 million, not 2.8 million Euros.
Now the figures look right for Sulake as 2.8 million euros is quite low for the company. 4.8 isnt bad.

[Sammeth.]

Companies trying to make a bigger profit, how peculiar :eusa_thin

[Metric1]

I looked for Sulake's financial data and I couldn't find it, either I didn't look hard enough or Sulake is a privately traded company. Also, I don't know the rules for posting financials abroad.

[Richie]

lol its hardly a protest it makes me lol how its a bunch of 11yrs in paper bags (trying to disguise theirself) "no more exachange for 1cred" pmsl


I can imagine sulake in a meeting "habbo uk has gone crazy, they are still protesting, lets forget about the hotel for a bit and play some runescape"
