If it actually became a virtual world, like was once planned, it would have been absolutely fantastic. I think they were far too ambitious, and announced things that simply were not happening.

To be honest by the looks of the Google Searches I did - I don't think it had that much success or any at all. Although I did find a thread on WebHostingTalk about job offers for it with one of the directors being called:
I then decided to search the company on CompanyHouse to see if it brings up anything which brought up:Quote:

Lead Developer
ClubTropica UK Ltd
November 2007 – February 2009 (1 year 4 months)
ClubTropica envisions becoming the next habbo crossed with Facebook aimed at older teenagers. I was project managing the development of the Shockwave Client element, the backend server development, and the front end website development. I was also highly involved in the custom PHP CMS development. The website is based off PHP and MySQL engines using a CMS platform I created from scratch, and currently has 15,000 members. I also developed a multi-threaded socket server for the shockwave client using PHPCLI using OO PHP, which was exciting for me as it was a first for me to use PHP to develop something that Java would usually take the place of.
The LinkedIn description is rather amusing, baring in mind that everything he apparently did has come to... nothing.Quote:
