New Intro/Welcome thing for new members + Chat

[xxMATTGxx]

These were just recently tweeted and it appears when you make an account on Habbo then the registration process would look something like this a bit:

These all came from: https://twitter.com/#!/ediootti - Who is the Creative Director of UX Design at Sulake.

Now it more looks like you are checking into an actual Hotel!

I like it. It's a lot more interactive than the previous registration method.

[Nick]

I will register a new account for the sake of doing that ahah. Looks really cool!!

[Jarkie]

I like the look of this :) and Nick; same! :P

[MKR&*42]

Looks brilliant :). I'd also want to make a new account when this is released.

[xxMATTGxx]

Here's another screenshot but now it's showing the chat system:

And in case you're wondering, the IM thingie is not just a draft - it's a real design revision, and already well into development. :)

[Matt]

Well habbo is on maint now sooo :3 Looks likes they might install this?

[Nick]

Habbos back but they haven't installed it :P

[Jssy]

That looks really good, I like the checking in bit :P

[Chippiewill]

Back to in-client registration? Would make sense considering the decline of the website stuff.

[lawrawrrr]

Love the registration, not so sure about the chat though. Yelow console ftw!!!

[Mathew]

I prefer it when they refer to it as a "hotel" - it just reminds me of the days when I signed up. Ever since they started advertising "habbo.co.uk" instead of "habbohotel.co.uk", I thought all signs of it being a hotel had been lost. It seems to be coming back! :)

Ah, and as Chippie noted above - they've tried ever so hard to take as many things out of the client as possible (Habbo homes, sign in, account settings) but now it's all being put back in (profiles, sign-in, etc). It's a lot better all being in one place and it's a return to what it was.

[Kasabian]

I am a unique and beautiful snowflake.

Looks good, though.

[Toilet]

I like it. Only thing I don't like is that gradient, it looks odd.

[e5]

That does look good! :D

[Jurv]

it looks much better with that design. i can't wait for them to update!

[KieKieKoala]

it looks good but some of the graphics in the "hotel reception" look a tad ****

[:odey:]

This is fab, loving this.
I love the layout of the check in area, would have been good if it was bigger and you could see more than just you checking in at one time.. :P

[Xedia]

Love everything except the IM :)

[MissAlice]

Great entrance, it’s a good idea to arrive in reception, ready for check in, it gives it more of a Hotel feel. Loving the red carpet treatment :)

Maybe we will see check out, rather than log out.

[LiquidLuck.]

These changes look awesome!!! Finally some good new things added.

[sex]

the chat is gross and horrible :(
but i love the check in!
i could have sworn they had something like that before expect non client based

[Chris]

I think its a nice feature to have, its more welcoming and interactive for new members.

[Eric]

i like the intro and welcome thing. at least it's something that looks like a real hotel. the chat looks horrible

[auffant1]

That looks really really cool. I like it, hopefully it hets released soon.

[Logandyer45]

I like the registration. Nick Same.

[Kalk]

I think that Habbo could really make use of the opportunity of educating new members by using a mini-game, including fake characters throughout the registration rooms; some obeying and some disobeying the Habbo Way. The users must them click on the people in the room who are following the rules to progress?

[Red]

Love ediootti designs. Hes so nice and always pops into the help desk! Great to have report button on the console again. Hasn't that been missing for ages?

[Succubus]

Looks great! Really like the check in the hotel thing.

[geo]

Looks really great. Love the new registration and the new chat looks very nice. :)

[Martin]

looks nice and its good to have something more true to the hotel theme I guess. Im sure it will be nicer for new members to feel more welcome

[Nath.]

It looks great if you ask me.

Not so keen on the chat UX though :S

[Pigperson]

That looks amazing, I really like the more hotel look.

[Camcorder]

Sometimes I forget that we're actually in hotel rooms when I'm on Habbo. It's nice that the entrance is more to the theme (I still miss the hotel view haha).

[SackRace]

This looks good :D

[PiippBB]

Looks good but I'm not really sure how it's going to help make the hotel safer; I thought they had spent the last ten days working on safety issues, not aesthetics :(

[Seikou]

looks great, think it's a nice design and idea :-)

[Jorc]

I have to say I really love this.

[lTraditional]

Something good for a change. It is something which should have been implemented at first, it certainly attracts new users!

[Andii]

Omg that looks so unreal haha :)

[AlexHenry]

Yeaahh might have to make a new character just to try this. Nice to give the feel of the hotel back like the old days! :D

[iFlame]

Looks alot better to be honest, old one was boring.

[Shockwave.2CC]

Hmm looks very efficiant.

I like it

[GommeInc]

That is amazing :P Hopefully there will be some safety tips, and dos and don'ts chucked into the hotel entrance thing for new users otherwise this was all pointless.

I wonder what the receptionist is called?

[Rottentroll]

Glad to see a fire extinguisher there.

They really are improving our safety.

[Michael]

Would be great if Habbo had that wallpaper, and we could choose how high we want our walls.

[orientalframe?]

looks so much better than it used to, it was just boring before. :)

[garriet]

i like this, it's much better, and gives a much more friendly feeling (compared to the old one)! and as you've said it does actually make it feel like you're checking into a hotel :)
