Global Room Building Comp + Sad News

[karter]

Are you up for the challenge?
They say a change is as good as a holiday, so we’re preparing to freshen things up in the Hotel! With a shift in the seasons upon us, we think it’s time our Hotel grounds got a little makeover.
We’re planning to keep the Public spaces visible during special occasions only, and so...
We’re giving you the chance to become the lead Architect and design the new 'Official' Navigator rooms!
But wait, there’s more! This is a GLOBAL room building competition, so we need the best of the best to represent our Hotel. This is your chance to have your room design featured in Habbo Hotels all over the world (AYE CARUMBA!)

HOW TO ENTER:
- Out of the following categories, choose ONE to base your design on and then build the best room you can:
* Pets OR
* Music/Parties OR
* Fashion OR
* Dating
- Important: Your room size must be large and it can not contain any 'Wired Text Messages' (other uses of Wired is fine though).
- Go to our Global Room Building Competition Facebook Event and post a screenshot of your room on the Event Wall. Under your photo please include your Habbo name, the category you have chosen AND a link to your room. You'll find the room link in your 'Room Info' box.

PRIZES:
Staff will select one winning room from each category to represent Habbo.com against the rest of the world. These lucky Habbos will receive a Gold Habbo Trophy, an exclusive Badge, not to mention the opportunity to see their room design visible in every Habbo Hotel... Now that’s a biggie!
A panel of judges in HQ will then go through the nominees from each Hotel and select three winners from each category. These will then become the new 'Official' rooms in the Navigator!

Talk about an exciting start to the weekend! So get building Habbos, we can do this! Entries close Friday June 3rd, 7am EST (that's 7pm in Singapore, 10pm in Sydney, 4am in Los Angeles and 11am in London). Good luck!

[Mathew]

They're removing public rooms but replacing them with player-made, tacky ones which will be JUST like a guest room? How daft. I don't use Public Rooms at all tbh, but it's still a shame cos they've been around for so long.

[karter]

Not to forget that Habbo once had no guest rooms but only Public spaces

[Toilet]

wtf is this stupid ass ****? are they serious!!!

[o!]

The amount of time it takes me to find a reason to quit habbo decreases with every re-join. There's simply way too many horrible changes.

[karter]

wtf is this stupid ass ****? are they serious!!!
IKR. No Welcome Lounge.. Where will you stand now :(

[Mr-Trainor]

I really don't see why they're removing public rooms, and basically replacing them with guest rooms? Public rooms are different because they can not be identically rebuilt in a guest room. Anyway, I suppose at least we'll still see them during special occasions!

As for the competition, I won't be entering since you have to post it in their Facebook thing. The badge looks nice though!

[Mikester941]

I understand why theyre doing this it's simply because Public Rooms now have 0 to 3 habbos in them so no point of such useless rooms being around anymore however habbo has been restarted (merge) it would probably take time before public rooms get popular again but they seem impatient.

[Zeptis]

Omg what about the famous Infobus, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it's a nightmare, *cries*

[scott]

Seems a bit stupid to remove them tbh, it's a shame because they've been there for quite a long time it'll be weird having player made rooms as official rooms!

Welcome Lounge and Lido Pool have a fair amount of people. Also Look at the official rooms (the ones which win the comps and get selected) They too have 1 or 2 habbos in them.

As they've said the rooms will come on special occasions hence nfobus is not getting removed permanently but I'm sure rooms like Chromide Club and basement Lobby will be removed :(

[user130523]

i'm usually not one to complain, but removing ALL the public spaces?

[dbgtz]

The worst part of it is, that badge is **** and basically a c+p from other images.
I knew this would happen though. I would complain but I'm barely on habbo now, mostly for **** ideas like this pushing me away.

[Ajthedragon]

In all fairness Public Rooms aren't exactly used much if you go into them... I often go into them on occasions and you'll be the only one there. The only one that's still alive is the welcome lounge.

They've been abused since BETA. I think it' a great shae but as long as they make new furniture lines and new room layouts and stuff I'm not bothered.

On the other hand... A GOOD PRIZE FOR ONCE.

no its not, its a terrible prize.
a recycled badge and a tower trophy worth what, 200c?

i'd rather a super or a half decent badge! prizes have never been good since the merge, and just before the merge they weren't the best either

[Kyle]

I might have actually entered if the categories were a bit more diverse.

[Arron]

I'll give it a go to pass spare time but I won't win! I'm rubbish creatively.

[JerseySafety]

Omg lol. I want to enter this but I can't :(

I'd love a habbo tower addressed to me. :rolleyes:

[iBlueBox]

If im being honest, on the official tab on navigator, most rooms are user created anyway that show.

And only the welcome lounge gets more then 20 members at one time.

[user130523]

if you check out the 'quest rooms' on the official floor there is already some rooms being added (staff made ones)

room owner = newquestrooms
last login = 1 month ago - seems like they've had this planned for over a month?

will be nice to see what habbos come up with but a big shame to see the public rooms go!

[KieKieKoala]

Should of kept and just allowed zoom in , in the public rooms would of made it better

[Eoin247]

Sigh habbo is becoming nearly unrecognisable from what it once was.

The public rooms will be hugely missed. I have great memories of protests, secret areas and great discussions that took place there.

[Elegance]

:'( destroying habbo with every update.

[Chris]

Why would they do this, a lot of people use the public rooms. :S

[Storking]

The badge is crap... could have put a bit more effort into the prize seeing as it's a huge competition

not bothered about the public rooms disappearing as usually most of them are empty/have 1 or 2 people in them
this may give way to the new changes in room designs (design your own private room!) :)

[Jordan]

The prize is nice, and the badge is sexy. But they should atleast keep the public spaces.

This deserves a petition!

[tylermunjkt]

Are habbo srsly this sad?

[Michael]

I think Habbo are doing this, because public rooms are a thing of the past. They were here before the guest rooms but now its all about the guest rooms. Habbo is again bringing more and more furni out making it more interactive and soon public rooms will really not be needed.

[Boot]

hallway protests were fun :(

yeah i think there doing it for the $$

[Plebings]

So how many of you have been in public rooms recently for fun?

The only loss I can see is the welcome lounge and the lido, I can see them keeping the welcome lounge on, maybe even the lido, but the other rooms are all fairly disposable now, hopefully the winning entries will be astonishing!

(500th post!)

[Cosmic]

Again, a shame that Habbo are toying with such a long-time feature of the hotels. I can't see it being a good thing, as the 'public' rooms that they already use for guest rooms are slow to load, tend to look messy/tacky and certainly wouldn't interest me. I think Habbo are heading in the wrong direction with this one.

[Michael]

All public rooms can be basically made in guest rooms,
LIDO pool = Big wave,
Cinema = Habbowood cinema,
Picnic area = Picnic furni!

[Pigperson]

Nice comp and badge, but I'm not entering because the chances of winning are so rubbish, and guest rooms can never replace public rooms because public rooms are totally different, in the way that they are huge and have things that you can't buy for your own rooms :l

Will

[Zuth]

Ive never used them before lol, oh well good luck to who ever is entering :)

[user130523]

i caught gandalfthegrey. and ladyjane21 (both staff - gandalf is design staff (furni/badge designer) and ladyjane works along side TRF/Grecian with advertising) looking at habbowood themed rooms on friday (not long before puffin launched the new quest rooms)

[Catzsy]

This would be a real shame - the public rooms are of a good quality and I don't think this could be replaced by users except for a few exceptions.

[Jendro]

This competition is AWESOME!
This is really an opportunity to show 5 years of building rooms (although I never got that much recognition) and my passion for it!
Just the themes... I've made 3 Theatres (the [HWS] - Habbowood Theatre, [HWS] - Habbowood Idol Theatre, and the [HWS] - Habbowood Kodak Theatre), a huge Cinema ([HWS] - Habbowood Cinema), and many more rooms like Vegas, but none of the 30 rooms fit the themes you've got to choose from :P
Guess I'll be making Habbo's biggest nightclub :) Too bad dance floors look aweful when stacked :(

[e5]

No, theyre removing them and bringing them back for special occasions!

[Ellz]

I think its fair to delete some but some room like the picnic area are used quite alot tbh

[coolfish30]

It's a shame that first we loose old habbo, and now the public rooms are all that has reallystayed the same. Not that I really care about them, but the welcome lounge and lido are still popular. I remember the days waiting to jump off the board! So there are 3 options for this comp, is that really enough to replace everything we had? I guess we will just have to wait and see :/

[Jurv]

I would understand if they were removing the official rooms which aren't really in use, but i'm not sure that's the case.

[ROT]

why do they do this? i would understand if all the staff had special needs but apparently they don't
ught leave it how it was...

[Boonzeet]

this is the end of Habbo for me. I don't even know why they'd do this.

habbo is experiencing the myspace effect

[pixie-dustpink]

I always use the sun terrace, where will i go now its going to be taken out? :'[

[Jendro]

Well, my favourite public room (in relation to 'how it looks') was Club Mammoth. As that room will also be gone, in honour of that club I've made Club Mammoth II as an entry! Really hope it wins. It's completely user friendly as it's illusion stacked, so where you click is where you get :)

Thats actually brilliant. Good luck.

Also to anyone saying that the public rooms never get used anyway, why do they expect people to use these rooms?
