Habbox Events

[lemons]

Now that it's summer I have time to waste on Habbo(x) but unfortunately there is no events to play! This has been a problem for a while now and if Habbox is ever going to become relevant again, success with events on the game is key to regrowth!

These are the events that are VERY popular for other fansites and Habbox should also host on a regular basis - feel free to suggest more!

- Danger Zone. VERY popular and has a very good following - often see many familiar faces at various fansite Danger Zones
- Danger Pod.
- (Banzai) Bank Game.
- Heaven or Hell - quite boring imo but seems very popular!
- Majority Rules
- The Dictator
- The Mole
- Attack
- Fridge Game
- Grocery List
- Races (e.g. flower cart race, fridge race)
- Balloon Game

As you can see a lot of these events have unlimited amount of players and are wired events - more people playing, longer ppl stick around, more promo!

- Habbox should also come up with a few "unique" events that other fansites don't host. E.g. Expling is making a Base Wars, which, even though isn't a new game invented by Habbox no other fansite hosts it! HabboCreate hosts 'Hole in the Wall' quite often and it's always popular but always in the same room and always gd fun!

- As the events timetable is nearly always empty, when booking events it should try to be done so the events are right next to eachother so that players can go through a tele into the next game instead of having to search for it or just going to a different fansite. If nothing is booked for next hour and there is staff or trusted users about then just ask them to host in a pre-made room and drop a tele to next event.

- Also, have a quick glance at what other fansites are hosting during the hour you want to host... it's more beneficial to host different events than both hosting Danger Zone at the same time! For example yesterday after HBC finished Danger Zone the Habbox one filled up immediately!

- As I mentioned above, for now at least when there are no event staff, it may be a good idea to just let casual Habboxers host events in managements event rooms rather than becoming event staff and goign through an app. Yesterday I hosted for like 3 hours and it went well and I'm not even events staff! If the timetable is empty people shouldn't need to worry about waiting for it to be approved - just host it and add the event at a later time.

Other small things
- AFK seats, just to keep maximum people in the room
- LARGE EVENT ROOMS WITH NO LINES UNLESS NECESSARY - can be underwhelming to see small event rooms (e.g. when like 30 people went through tele to telephrase from danger zone yday hardly many stayed - room was tiny compared to DZ)
- Boppers so you can tele people out of games instead of kicking (keep this away from other ppl so trolls like me can't block it)
- For HxL maybe it would be nice to have a DJ area in event rooms to highlight the fact there is a radio to tune in - was hard to see what Gina; was saying during Danger Zone because it was so busy
- Most people are online in the evenings (UK time) so that would be a good time for now to host lots of events in a row
- Prize should be 3c minimum.... maybe 2c.......but 3c is better
- Try to get new event staff to bring their friends with them to join too
- Ban unpopular events during busy hours/inbetween busy events unless no one is hosting absolutely anything
- Let people host at any time if there is no event on rather than at the start of the hour
- Room names really don't need the time in them, [Habbox] Event Name is fine (put things like ffccgiveawayfridge at the end if space and make use of room tags)
- Wired messages for promo for all aspects of site
- And lastly if Habbox events is to be a success it requires a community effort - even if you hate events just go to them and watch and tune in and if you're bored instead of staring at yourself in HxHD host an event in yours or someone elses room

I am certainly one of procrastination and delay... my offer was more of a room just for someone to use, but maybe if I have time I can try and make a wired game in it at some point.

[Gina]

mayb do a lil mini hxss but for staff ??:? instead of points for playig/winning events just do it all for hosting shit lmfao get ppl in on it so we can try n attract new ppl and maybe get ppl to sign up as staff

lool yes only issue is like the room title but if we just decided on a game then as long as u just changed that title and gave rr we can like make it in the room so you dont have to do anything if thats good with u!

On my phone so going to try reply as best as I can!

we've been trying to host the games that people want, most of those on list anyway! Some of those games I'm not sure on how to host so if anybody could give quick explanations I'm more than happy to set rooms up for those specific events
Plebings; is really good at coming up with unique idea events - something for him if he has some time??

Yeah definitely been following just book events afterwards or just ask someone to pop it on the table as lots have access to the panel!! I think a pull away from making cnbs (and if we can get them automated to keep people in the know on the forum about what's on), I think cnbs for bigger scale events such as weekly events!!

I don't really agree with the big/small events areas as I think certain events need smaller areas such as telephrase, I think instead we go for evenings we do bigger scale events in bigger events rooms and keep following that you should try to host those and keep smaller events to earlier in the evening if possible. I think it can be underwhelming when you have a massive events room that doesn't have many players each round as in the end it looks really dead and makes people leave!!

Boppers and afk is very easy to set up so if anyone needs help, let me know and I'll set it up in your rooms!!

I do like idea of cute little area for DJS gonna set one up in my room a little area by itself!!

Yeah some times it's very off putting if I come online and want to host but nobody is around, it's so important to have a few users to populate your room to make others come!!!

Id also like to say (I hope tom doesn't mind) but when it comes to being an events host right now it's not very strict with minimums (as we can't be when we have such little staff), if anyone please would like to join the team (such as the people who have been hosting for us over the past few days). I think the appearance of a fuller team on our staff lists makes it much more appealing rather than when you look at see 3 events host. As others have mentioned some of us are more than happy to help with prizes for a bit, myself included!!

I am certainly one of procrastination and delay... my offer was more of a room just for someone to use, but maybe if I have time I can try and make a wired game in it at some point.
If you have any unique ideas that would be great!!! I'd really appreciate it!!

I think this would be quite a nice idea once we get like a basis of staff in the team and then do that to appeal!! Tom also has a great rewards scheme ATM for anyone who wants to join!!!

If anyone would like to join please just message me or tom and we will sort you out straight away!! We have plenty of events rooms set up so you don't have to worry about sorting a room!! PLS JOIN PPL we need u for habbox revival!!

[FlyingJesus]

Woopwoop been a long while since we've had a good feedback thread it really is useful stuff, fab


As you can see a lot of these events have unlimited amount of players and are wired events - more people playing, longer ppl stick around, more promo!

This is def something I think is important, personally prefer hosting things like that rather than a game where only 5-10 people get to play in the whole hour, and yeah all the while someone's in the game it's time that they're helping to promote the room even more so allllll good


- Habbox should also come up with a few "unique" events that other fansites don't host.

Easier said than done lmao but it does sometimes help to have something unique - problem is that a lot of people are quite frankly too lazy to learn how a new game works. Even hosting an old game with a new name seems to confuse people :P


when there are no event staff, it may be a good idea to just let casual Habboxers host events in managements event rooms rather than becoming event staff and goign through an app.

I'm happy to do this (with people I can trust to have rights obv :P) and it is a good way to get people hooked on hosting and hopefully then joining up as regulars. Finding people to host is always an issue so would be glad to have people chip in :D


Let people host at any time if there is no event on rather than at the start of the hour

I think this is actually probably more important than it sounds tbh as it reduces wasted time and means that people aren't put off by having to wait around an extra half hour or whatever after deciding they want to host. The panel we currently have is quite offputting in that sense as it's verrryy limited but again I'm quite happy to go for this


I am certainly one of procrastination and delay... my offer was more of a room just for someone to use, but maybe if I have time I can try and make a wired game in it at some point.

More hosting rooms would be great, mine are generally free to use (obv will need to be online to give rights but that's all) but the more the better, variety is always fab :D


Yeah definitely been following just book events afterwards or just ask someone to pop it on the table as lots have access to the panel!! I think a pull away from making cnbs (and if we can get them automated to keep people in the know on the forum about what's on), I think cnbs for bigger scale events such as weekly events!!

Been thinking a lot about automated cnbs lately, I think it would probably require an overhaul of the current panel - potentially a change to a WordPress type thing like we have for articles as that's easy to link in to the forum and Twitter, just have to think of a good way to make it work easily without messing anything else up lol


Id also like to say (I hope tom doesn't mind) but when it comes to being an events host right now it's not very strict with minimums (as we can't be when we have such little staff), if anyone please would like to join the team (such as the people who have been hosting for us over the past few days). I think the appearance of a fuller team on our staff lists makes it much more appealing rather than when you look at see 3 events host.

Yeah minimum atm is literally just 1 hour a week and even that gets let go half the time because I don't want an empty teamsheet. Aside from looking better it definitely feels more fun when there's a proper group going and people can bounce off each other


All in alllllllllllllllll what makes the biggest difference is definitely the community getting involved! We can't host if there's no-one to host for, and having a good base of people right from the start makes things a million times easier so the fun can get going. Am setting up a DZ lit right this minute and this coming week I don't have that much irl work going on so can get into some more building and hosting woopwoop

[Gina]

look at hffm timetable fuckin hell

dsome event ideas at least

[FlyingJesus]

They do have 40 staff + management hosting but still good effort, still comes out at about 3 or 4 a week each which would be lovely

[Absently]

WE CAN DO IT PEEPS!

[Samantha]

I don't really agree with the big/small events areas as I think certain events need smaller areas such as telephrase, I think instead we go for evenings we do bigger scale events in bigger events rooms and keep following that you should try to host those and keep smaller events to earlier in the evening if possible. I think it can be underwhelming when you have a massive events room that doesn't have many players each round as in the end it looks really dead and makes people leave!!


I'll reply more in depth soon, but this bit caught my eye! I don't really agree with having smaller events hosted in say late afternoon/early evening - it's currently summer break for US students and the time in Washington (just an example) right now is 13:12, prime time to host say a bigger event as they may all be online. I know where you're coming from though and I agree it can be a bit disheartening if you don't get a full event room, but I think just hosting any event is better than classing 1 event as big and 1 event as small.

For me, I prefer hosting things such as Telephrase, Trivia etc. as opposed to Heaven and Hell, Danger pod etc. as I find them more fun, and when I hosted I would usually do it later on at night and they'd still get full. I know the times might have changed, but I think trying to host in peak times for more countries (such as now until say 10-11pm) could potentially work, it's just getting people to host!

Also, to bulk out the calendar more, I would try and create an automatic game, that way potential players known they can always go somewhere when an event isn't on. Like your maze for example (if you still have it) Kelly, you could advertise it more and offer random prizes for those completing it, likewise with a proper automatic event, add a leaderboard and see what happens!

HxSS is coming up in less than 2 months, and at the moment I don't think it will be that amazing judging by the lack of staff and motivation there currently is at Habbox.

Also, honestly I don't feel like there is much of a 'community' at Habbox right now. A community needs leadership and some of those that are meant to be community leaders and actually try and gain more members and regain an active community and pretty much done little to nothing for so long and it feels like Habbox is in a state of disrepair. I won't single anyone out with this as it's definitely not just one person, but it just seems that people don't really give a shit and just do enough to get by without any repercussions. The reality is the repercussions are a fansite that was once so popular has died down so much! This could potentially be turned round, but it's going to take a lot of hard work, time and effort.

Sounds good I eagerly await your application xo

[Samantha]

I think I can already host as a manager can't I? Not sure if that rule ever changed!

I don't have many Credits to host at the moment, but I'll consider it :P.

[Alysha]

I haven't read any of this, but when I come back on habbo, I'll happily donate credits and prizes if you want. I have little use for them now, so hit me up if you see me online

yes lov ill have some creds for prizes x
zebbadi; come back to events

[Lewis]

I'm so out of touch with current habbo events

I don't even know what half the popular ones played are

[Kyle]

When is hxss and what big events are there planned in the meantime? I want to host for hxss when it comes around

[FlyingJesus]

12th August, before that I believe we have a "funfair" type event coming up and there's usually Habbox In The Park one weekend. More hosts are always welcome :D

It's Habbox's birthday this weekend so extra celebrations within the funfair! More information on that will be announced asap. We also have a Big Brother event coming up on the 1st August, courtesy of Bolt660;

[GoldenMerc]

I'll also be interested in hosting a few shows at HxSS FlyingJesus;

[FlyingJesus]

Permanent staff are great but I'm totally happy for people to join just for the duration of hxss if they'd prefer, you don't have to sign a contract binding you to the team for any amount of time so can come and go really :P genuinely loving the enthusiasm I've seen over the past few days it's touching to see people caring so mwah mwah xo

[Matt]

I have a question!

Do we offer higher prizes for forum members?

So like 4c for HxF members, 3c for non-members.

I think that's a good idea and I seem to remember when I used to go to events that some hosts were doing that out of choice. I reckon it should be fixed as people will still attend the event so long as its not something silly like 1c for non-members.

We did discuss this at our meeting and I think it's a fantastic idea. We did say that it was up to each individual host though as we don't expect them to give 5c to members as they may not be able to afford it

Ah good, I think it would really boost the forum numbers.

I think there's no harm in making it a 'rule' in events, I seem to remember hosts would hand out 3c for members and 2c for non-members and I think even that would work. It's not a huge amount but people still play for a prize like that.

Leaving it up to the host also works I guess.

[GoldenMerc]

Has anyone researched into what every other official fansite pays per game in terms of rewards? I'd assume HFFM give 10x what Habbox does?

[scottish]

I doubt anyone gives 10x what any other fansite does as they would very quickly go through their resources, even if they are buying credits illegitimately.

[FlyingJesus]

2 or 3c seems to be a pretty universal figure across all events (except for special occasions/promotions) whether it's fansite hosted or not, the hosts being generally richer doesn't appear to make any difference for normal events from what I've seen

So all we are lacking is events? The quality seems to be okay, so its just quantity we need I guess

[Matt]

Hosts seem to promote things like "20c prize if room gets to 60 people". That's something we could try more of (not sure if Hx hosts do much of that??)

I did it the other day in H or L and room pop shot up

[Matt]

yeah i've seen it work many times. It's just something small that's known to get new users and events more popular

[Charlie]

I think the better prize if the room fills up is a good idea because that'll push the room up and put the Habbox name out there, not so sure about better prizes for members over non-members though. While it will get people to join the forum, it doesn't always mean they'll stick around. I've gone to events where they've said if you sign up to the forum, you can get this prize instead but then I've never gone back to the forum afterwards but it's a nice idea to leave it down to each host to decide if they do that, and maybe not everyone will be a bad as me and will stick around on the forum afterwards.

[effurt]

It's all about revival. Do a few games with high prizes and you'll be dragging them in. There is evident quality in the events being hosted. It's just quantity. People would be more willing to join a fansite with good numbers in attendance as it's very demotivating if you're a host who can't get people to play your game.

I mean I think anything that generates new forum members is better than nothing at this point. A small percentage may stay on and be very active. At the moment, there's no incentive to sign up to the forum, and if by giving them a higher prize (and including bonuses during HxSS and other tournaments) gets them to sign up then its a win. Once we start getting more forum members signed up then the forum department can work on trying to keep them active and giving them reasons to want to stay.

The magical concept that is called inter-departmental/team effort! So crazy.

[lemons]

Personally, I don't do the better prizes for members over non-members because with Habbox Forum it takes too long to find if someone is a member and then too long to explain to someone how to sign up. Some ppl sign up to wrong site (Habbox.com instead of forum) and it just remains an inactive account!

I've actually had praise in my events that Habbox doesn't do this

[FlyingJesus]

It does slow things down unless you already know they 100% do or don't have an account, and realistically there's nothing stopping someone from looking at the user list here and saying that's them for an extra cred

For the X prize at Y pop thing, I'm perfectly happy for that to happen as long as people don't do a Ripieno with it and make it a 30 capped room then say gb at 40 pop :P while we want the events and numbers up we also want to carry on being a site that doesn't scam and cause problems

[despect]

I'm not really a fan of giving more to forum users because it just doesn't seem fair. Like I understand that other fansites use it to get people to sign up but are people actually going to signup for an extra few credits? Like it's all good getting people to sign up but will they actually post, isn't that the whole reason behind getting people to sign up?

I hope now that events department have shot up in staff numbers that people will be hosting a lot more especially since hxss is coming up!

[Charlie]

Would it be possible to offer forum rewards, instead of credits if they didn't want them? If we say they could have credits, or forum vip/tokens, they might prefer that which could give us new users especially if they know that tokens can be used to buy rares, etc. I guess the issue then, similar to better prize for members, is that you might have to explain what vip/tokens is and that could be time wasted.

[FlyingJesus]

Yeah we did that for a longgggg time like years but there are basically about 3 people in the whole world who go to events but only want tokens/VIP rather than creds, and raffle seems to have fallen by the wayside, so pretty much given up on that for now

[despect]

Perhaps since we are getting more attending events that events player of the week/month is bought back?
