I thought the early Habbo was a little too...

You're inhuman, Biohazard. Did you know that Ted Bundy's first dog, a collie, was named Lassie? Have you heard this?

Hardly anyone on the forum plays habbo

The whole Habbo franchise was and should be for the purpose of its users, and to make a decent amount of income at the end. Now it seems Habbo are focusing too much on the money side of things, therefore failing to satisfy its users and fan base. For socio-economic company, this is the wrong attitude.

Ever since they attacked their fan base e.g. the fansites, they've caused nothing but unnecessary problems and a severe lack of professionalism. A profesonally run franchise would think before taking action, and with the case of attacking their fans, they clearly have acted before thinking about the consequences.

When they were thinking up the idea of disallowing fansites to sell harmless premium services, they refused to give a reason - no-one knows why they did it and everyone knows there isn't a reason to do it. Habbo will not gain anymore income by attacking the fanbases, which are one of their key areas of marketing for Habbo. Who better to sell the product than the consumers, with their fansites?

As far as I see Habbo, they are nothing but an unfair company who have bitten off more than they can chew lately. THey were a much better company back in the Version 4 days, where they provided for the community and kept in contact with the community. Now they focus on selling their products without any decent reason, and to mass-produce products which are just tedious - rares make alot of money, so they make aload of pointless ones to gain more.

Although they are a money making business (there to make money), they have over-stepped the mark a little bit. I wouldn't jump to conclusions saying furniture and services shape the individual needs and personalities of their users. I would say they've just seized an opportunity which has worked in the past and clearly want to make money from it with silly little events and advertisement schemes through their obviously boring news system and email system - there to sell and not to inform. In the past, when Habbo was more successful socially, they made the whole Habbo experience interesting and fun, now it's just there to make an extra pound using farfetched advertising schemes.

Also, didn't Habbo scrap the rares section, making it so that old rares which were better in every way possible, impossible to get? Now it's just boring items that try to make things rarer.

No, silly. Habbo will own most of the internet by the end of the 00's. Now they're into that whole Yale thing.

Yale thing? Habbo seem to be getting smaller and smaller in my eyes. I haven't seen a crappy Habbo ad for years :S And since the expansion plans had completed, it's been awfully quiet. Perhaps they're losing money... Wouldn't it be just grand if they went bust :D

You know, the whole Yale thing!

There are no more barriers to cross. All Habbo has in common with the sell-outs and the dull, the tedious and the cheap, all the fanbase they've lost and their utter indifference toward it they have now surpassed. Their yuppie-business is constant and sharp and they do not wish for a better game for anyone, they want their demands for money to be inflicted on others. They want no one to escape.

But even after being a big fan and admitting this, there is no catharsis. My punishment continues to elude me and I gain no deeper knowledge of the game. No new knowledge is extracted from my telling. This confession. Has meant. Nothing.
