Unmerged Hotels

[October]

What do you think Habbo would be like today if the hotels were still separate?

[Shorty]

Empty

[lemons]

boring

[Kardan]

The community would be much, much better, with proper community staff, daily events, competent mods - but would it still be open? Probably not. Habbo made the cuts it did for a reason.

[xxMATTGxx]

I'm going to say empty in a way - They made the cuts for a reason like Kardan as said.

[October]

Why do you guys say empty? I feel as though since merge the average online has gone lower by a lot.

[MKR&*42]

Wtf @empty. There'd be much more community interaction (especially for the poor aussies who are often just brushed under the rug nowadays) and people would be more satisfied with the hotel.

But yes it happene for a reason

[Puuma]

sg, ca, and au would probably be empty, as they were pretty dead on a regular basis. however, uk and .com would probably still be thriving today.

sadface.

[jorsian]

It's impossible to predict the activity levels as I'm sure the hotels would be subject to same updates and travesties, including the mute, which was quite devastating and arguably worse than the merge.

[andoo89]

unlikely they wouldn't.. the irony is habbouk use to get more players online before the merge.

[Daltron]

if they were separate every event wouldn't be at flipping 2-4am for us aussies !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! bloody hell sulake lol at least try to make it look like we exist

[Blinger]

bloody hell sulake lol at least try to make it look like we exist
Please don't be stupid. lol. It used to be something like 30 bucks for 100 credits by money order back when I was playing, seems like a lot of coin for a few credits.

[karter]

it's sg habbos they ignore the most lol even if there are 'time friendly events', they are for australians not malaysian and sg users.

Empty


boring

What they said :P

[Shorty]

Empty

Some people seem to think that if the merge didn't happen, Habbo would still be a booming business. They are wrong! Now you're going to ask why?

So, I may be a little bias or insane to think this but it's because of Technology!

Back when I and many others started playing Habbo I didn't even have a computer or mobile phone, let alone a smartphone which has multiple applications to socialize on.

idk but back in the days before the merge and before habbo tax was introduced, habbo's sg/my/ph was fine and it has a lot of online users. tbh i really like the community before. maybe because sg and my are both really close and we feel like we belong to the social setting, and communication was a lot of easier considering both countries have our own similar lingo and along with the ph merge was fine too

[e5]

It was the pointless mute that killed off most of habbos users. They didn't even need to do the mute, just moderate it better!

[:Markster:]

I doubt that they'd be empty or boring as some of the people before me have said. I don't think that the merge had too much to do with the number of habbos online. It has more to do with the Great Mute of 2014 after the Channel 4 incident, that's when Habbo lost much of its fanbase. If the hotels were still separate it would be different for sure. Back in the day there were a lot of different hotels and they were different in so many ways - starting from the staff to the badges they handed out to the events they hosted etc. That's totally a cultural thing. Also since there were so many different hotels, if all of them were still open today then yes, some of them would be empty but the main hubs such as habbo.co.uk and habbo.com could easily be thriving. As far as the communities go, the difference would be that globally there are different trends around the world - when the US are a fan of one thing then at the same time the UK might be crazy about something else entirely. Therefore the things habbo can feature would change accordingly. But in general, if there was no pedo incident and perhaps smaller merges within separate timezones (.ca merged with .com etc) there is no reason that the different communities wouldn't be thriving. It's obvious that habbo has a target audience - teenagers, but the world isn't running out of those. The general habbo userbase is constantly growing, it's just the active members that are switching, the circle of life in a sense.
