Its been a while since our last blog post, but there is a good reason. We’ve been hard at work tackling a slew of User Voice requests and adding new features to enhance your Habbo experience. Here’s a list to summarize the changes we’ve done this year and some hints of things to come.

Duckets
Your new (Free) virtual currency that can be earned simply by logging in and being active in Habbo. Now everyone can customize rooms and own pets, even if you have no credits. Duckets will also be used within campaigns to reward active players ensure that certain items remain rare.


Searchable & Expandable Inventory
You now have a search field in your inventory as well as filtering options (about time…)


Removed: Stream
Our data shows this feature was used by a very small fraction of the community. We felt it was best to remove for now to make the hotel load faster while we rethink the concept. We apologize for the inconvenience if you liked this feature, but we think you’ll be happier in the longrun (hint: tired of notifications all over the place cluttering your right column? … hmm where should they go?)


New :Kick + :Kickall commands and Wired Kick Effect
These features give better means to self-moderate your rooms and also create lots of opportunities for new/improved wired game building.


New :MuteBots command
In a room with too many bots and want to clear the noise? :mutebots!


Love Lock Furni
A new type of social furni that works in similar fashion to our trophies. You and a friend can lock your avatar image and the date to be displayed on double-click. Although this came out specifically for Valentines we see potential to expand this functionality into new themes that are more friend or group oriented.


Relationship Status
A new way to categorize friends and display the relationship on your Habbo profile. Just one small step to bring Habbo friendships closer together.


Earn Credits & Prizes by Watching Videos
You can now earn prizes and credit furni by watching sponsored videos without leaving the hotel.


New Year’s Resolution Trophies & New Achievement Levels
These Achievement furni allow you to select an achievement to complete by a specified date which unlocks a new furni state proudly displaying your accomplishment. Along with this update we increased the level of many achievements and even added a few new ones for our Baby Pets.

We hope you are enjoying these new features as well as the daily events run by hotel managers and frequent furni updates.

I'm glad they are getting rid off the Stream & they have added the bots & Searchable & Expandable Inventory but from that other stuff as been pointless aswell.

bots mute should have been standard.

Woo, they have been making some really good improvements! The stream was useless and I didn't even notice it was gone? The relationship status is ok but I miss tags :'( I hope the homepage/return of articles is tackled next :)

The friendstream was a feature at the bottom right of the friend bar (Lightning bolt) - it would show a list of friend's activity and posts from Habbo staff occasionally. E.g. If someone gained an achievement, it'd be there or if a staff member posted about a news article, it'd be there. It was so under-used that they removed it.

Never used the stream, because I just didn't like it at all. At least they're keeping us informed, some way or another. With a bit of luck the news articles return too, saves us going to blog.habbo.com

Glad they removed the stream. It's quite pointless anyways and I don't use it often. Other than that, some are okay such as :kick commands and :mutebot commands which I pretty like it.

I'm really disappointed that they just upright axed Stream.

Even though it was pretty useless as it was, with the right refocusing and a proper Illumina treatment, it could've been a great social tool.

Stream is really pointless and I don't really used much.

The stream was a great stalker tool but ultimately useless and no one cares! All of this is pretty good apart from the relationship thing that is so awful. Duckets i have grown to realise is actually kinda good, well since the new items have been added to the cat.
