How do they do it?

[teza2k09]

I have played Habbo for many years now, and seen many rooms. In the last couple of days i have seen some amazing rooms.

For Example -
Temple Run
Casinos

But what i want to know, is how on earth do people get the creds to make their rooms how they are. Surely people would not be crazy enough to spend tons of money on creds.

Sometimes i wish i had a great rooms like people.

So....... How do they do it??

Most people make their profit nowadays by selling on the market and gambling.

Most of them don't use real money on creds, or some of them use very little money on creds.

People use real money to get maybe something like 20c to start with, and then slowly get richer.

Just use my friend as an example. She started with about 20c, and that's the only time she ever bought credits. She started with buying things that are worth 2c for 1c, or something like 2 for 3c, so that she could make a profit or 1c or 2c by selling them. Soon, she got richer by earning bits and bits day by day, and she started a coin grabber with norms. Then grabber became her main source of credits, it's owner's advantage at coin grabbers, because owners have more chances of winning, so she got money quickly.

She played Habbo for years, and she quitted this year, she had about 2000c, and only 20c were bought with real money.

2000c is not enough if you wanna make those really really rich casinos. I suppose if you want to get as rich as those super-norm casino owners, you have to first do as mentioned above, then slowly start a casino or something, as casinos can get you more money than grabbers, especially if you bet more (but make sure you don't bet too much, bet something you can afford losing).

It's a long process. It takes luck too. There was once I got nearly 200c because I bought rares from noobs at a very very low price. Rare trading can make you a lot of money too.

I don't know about you but I find nothing impressive about casinos and temple run, also FieryCold got banned for gambling.

[Grimmauld]

you shouldve seen back in 2006 old school habbo...furni shops were the way to go. opening one and selling what you had and always asking for profit and slowly you will be rich. nowadays everythings with credits...

[iFlame]

As said above, people make their own money by selling rights etc. It's a way to make Credits I suppose LOL

[atpeak]

I don't know about today, but back in the day no one who was super rich would have spent a dime on Habbo. They would do it by other means that is against the Habbo way, build a casino, be safe, get rep and get tonnes of bets. Dealers have the edge, and most dealers in a popular casino would make an average 120hc (hcs were around 20c at the time) so you can do the math. Casino owners could easily make between 30t average per day.

It is also sometimes about who you know on Habbo.

I remember back when I first joined I bought credits a few times on the hotline to buy some of the rares as they were released in the catalogue (Silver Nelly being my fav :P). I then opened up a furni shop and bought rares cheap (giving me a profit) then selling them on high (giving me profit on the sale too). It meant I was making a decent amount of profit on both purchases and sales and I quickly built up a huge number of credits. Of course, I lost it all and had to restart when my rl 'friend' got into my account and stole everything I had. I generally make credits now by selling rights to my Big Brother and taking credits from people who want to pay to play. :P Can easily make 24 credits per game that way (each game lasting about two hours :P)

EDIT: Just to add, I'm now worth over 2k credits easily. :P Hard to get a firm number because I don't have any rares anymore and all my credits are tied up in furni for the BB I own. It does make mine the BB on the hotel which has had the most money spent on it. :P

I don't play it to make credits anymore. I play it to play it, lol. It's just a bonus that I make these credits from hosting my Big Brother games. And considering I'm making almost 50 creds a day for doing not very much at all, I don't think it's too bad. :P I have more than enough credits to keep upgrading, improving, and revamping my Big Brother which is all I really care about on Habbo now. :D

Before the merge I wasn't worth much, in August/July 2009 I began trading a lot and managed to reach about 400/800 credits with just selling my furni - this came from winning events and such and I didn't buy credits often at all. Admittedly I didn't really know about the trading market back then, got scammed a few times, lost a lot of credits then settled on furni as I spent the creds. Then I won a Dino off Ludus in his Habbo Rugby game, on Habbox at the time it was worth 2t 38hc so I sold it for 2t 20hc, then sold the Thrones for HCs as that was the main currency, got other items such as a Silver Cup Trophy, Russian Samovars and Pear Trees were the only items I wanted back then. I was given donations a lot too, large donations. On Christmas Eve 2009 I was given 50 Sharebears by Yuxin; and so many rares by another friend, a hour later I was banned then became hacked on Christmas Day, I received my account back and my 'norms' as it were, were given back to me. In the trading, a norm was a 'Yellow Rose' then worth 18HC (HCs worth 13-15 credits) so I built myself up yet again!

After the merge I began getting into trading a lot more, I managed to gain 605c and then helped Pigperson; with his arcade, with betting alone I reached my peak credits of 3100 and still had too much furni beside, I did sell and buy, repeated process etc. I have a few credits now, so many bulks but I could gain those credits back with selling. I don't class myself as rich, if I was talking to someone who had that when I was first beginning then yes they would be rich but I've moved up since then and I believe that trading and betting are better ways to gain profit and become richer, it may be a slow process but I believe it does work. Like others have said it helps when you are the dealer.

Furthermore, Pipette; will probably agree that Seasonal Rares are sometimes good to bulk on, items mainly for seasons such as Halloween/Habboween as they rocket up in price when it's nearing and just before they're released, things such as Haunted Forests and Dark Water are usually key as you know you can gain profit on them!

[JerseySafety]

Tbh most of them buy credits and stuff illegally, which is a shame, then they resell those credits for more to others. Then they buy more with the profits they made. Sad truth.

Although some of them are legit and profit trade, own casinos and take bets.

Honestly wealth isn't what habbo is about, once you get it all it really doesn't matter anymore. No one really cares how rich anyone is, but everyone wants it for themselves. Since the marketplace, you can practically buy any rare you want or trade credits you buy with cash for a super rare. It makes having wealth ridiculously silly. As soon as I found out you could trade credits, I knew there was going to be more wealth on habbo, more rares, more thrones, and the economy will get lopsided (ex. HC's are worth what, 3 credits now?) Back in the day (2005 or earlier for me), the only way you could get a super rare was to trade thrones for them or other rares, so super rares were incredibly hard to get ahold of. These days, if you really spent some time, it wouldn't be that hard to get to the super wealthy status...Once there, then what? Want to be known as one of the few dozen casino owners to ever walk on habbo? Want to stack gold bars ceiling high or start a rare collection? I don't see the point.

I remember winning a typewriter in the "WORD UP!" competition back in 2003 I believe...this was when they were virtually impossible to get...I was ecstatic and people came to my room just to see it. Now I can buy one...I can literally go online right this minute and trade my gold bars for one. That stinks.

Some people go bet at casinos, but that is never trusted. Or they can sell rights or old furni.

[Ribbonaire]

Mainly, its profiting/gambling, some people buy everything, but most people from my experience, don't.

And Gordon (Goredone), the owner of Temple Run who I'm relatively close to got most of his wired/things via donations from friends and such, haha.

Personally, I only buy credits during promotions (Nuts, seeds, etc. - When the seeds first came out, I could sell the extra ones for 3c a pop, even the Level 0), and use that to my advantage. Other than that, betting and buying in bulk is the way to go.

Hack/Scam - Read "Hachette" 's story in his room (search his name) on how he amassed 750?-1000t?

Keylogging - sure Mike used this to hack both Nisus and Vodor.. same as hacking.. read up on it.. harder now as most people know about it

Buy and Sell for irl - obviously people are doing it.. buy low, sell high

Take bets on habbo - gd money if u have the ability to risk it

Rigging was a big problem "back in the day"

So yeh if you want a lot of credits, don't play legit.
