Old Habbo

[wreky]

Wouldn't it be great if habbo released the old version like runescape recently done,

ya lol. With illumina, which is now cancelled, it reminded me of an updated, fresher old habbo. I really wish they continued with this.

However, reverting back to 07 would be just as good!!! (mainly with how staff were back then and comps etc, but it seems staff r trying on this again)

[GoldenMerc]

Yes....
(is there anything else i can say?)

To be honest, the 06 and 07 version would go down well with all of the old habbos, but it wouldn't really attract new members very well, because it is outdated for today's times.

Just shows they dont really care about the community,
when RS added something community didn't like they deleted it, with habbo its like 'no deal with it'

They should bring back old habbo, but an updated version to today.
Although everyone loved the design and the way things looked, the main thing people miss is comps, staff interaction and just how much of a great community it used to be.

They should bring back many old features of habbo, but something like the illumina style that was being done.

it wouldn't go down well with newer habbos but maybe only let it to people with 100% habbo badge? not sure.

Are you guys being serious? It would never work... Can anyone actually give me a good reason? And to the people that are saying staff members, you do realise that staff are real people, and the staff from 2007 wouldn't be able to come back to the company?

I was talking about the layout more than anything,

When I said staff members, I'm pretending as if we could somehow get the same staff interaction, and good comps back.

Of course they're real people and 2007 staff couldn't come back. I'm just saying what would be good if they could bring back such things, even though it WON'T happen. (if you're tlking bout my comments)

I wish this happend

[jorsian]

I would love this to happen but it's not realistic at all. It's much harder to go backwards than forwards in game development. They would have to find to a way to remove all the new features that are now very much apart of the game.

[Plebings]

honestly the only thing that made old habbo entertaining (for me) was the community, i do enjoy the majority of the new features though. we've seen the positive reaction people have had towards the recent staff participation and i hope it continues!

Along with the current client, they've released a members-only clone of the client from 2007, exactly as it was back then. Apparenrtly Jagex found an old back-up of the client from back then and put forward a (members-only) vote on who would like the old client to return. It's separate from the new client and requires you to start all over again with a new character. At present it's members-only with no extra costs for 6 months, from then I think there's a required $10 per month payment to keep playing.

I don't really agree with this suggestion, although it seems like a good idea in essence I don't think it would be very popular after all the hype wears off. I've recently had a look at pre-merge versions of the hotel and honestly, reverting would be a huge step backwards.

Apart from the community element back then (along with the original SS, BB, mazes and public rooms); old Habbo really has nothing going for it. There wasn't much to do at all! The "hand" was difficult to organise, the furni range was much smaller and therefore options for room building were limited, the overall look was much less aesthetically appealing, the client wasn't widescreen and therefore wouldn't work well with new age monitors, room events weren't available, clothing was limited, the variety of pets was limited, room layouts were limited, many new and fun games like Telephrase and runs didn't exist, along with a whole lot more we'd be missing out on. Additionally, I think one of the main reasons Habbo was so enjoyable to us back then was because of how young we were. I was 12 years old in 2007 and everything in life was a whole lot more fun when I was a kid!

Basically, all Habbo needs to do is to bring back aforementioned elements of Habbo that the community loved, the elements we were all disappointed to see go, such as forums, the Pixel Press, original SS/BB (e.g. no games centre) and some (but not all) of the public rooms, as a lot of them were extremely underused.

I personally wouldn't like to see Old Habbo brought back because basically Habbo has moved forward whether or not anyone likes it, it's a fresher Habbo now. I don't think I could use that bloody hand again, or that chat box.. Just my opinion though.
