Maybe give them an unique user colour , eg the habbox prize group colour which has been out for over 2 and half years yet hasn't been given out with the tournaments that happened.
This is actually a colour I would want
and £4 for a month is far too high , maybe if it was for 3 months I would buy it.

I agree with the whole Unique colour thing. But there's still time, it's only been out for a few hours?

£4 for a month is too much, seeing as the minimum wage is just over £5
something like £2.50 would be a lot more suitable.

I understand the 'increasing costs of the site' but to be fair, you can run a site of much more magnitude than Habbox for cheaper than it is already doing so.

I mean, ways of saving money is merge Habbox and HabboxLive into one site - that cuts down on the domain, hosting and maintenance. The uploadpicz site, I'm sure there's a way you could integrate that into the forum which would, again, lower the server load and cut down the domain costs - another way is to get a member to make a seperate site [namely habboxuploads.com or whatever] and do it from there.

These are ways of cutting down the costs of the self proclaimed 'costly running of the site' and introducing VVIP at 400% more than the original VIP cost is not the way to go about it. Sure, people will buy it for maybe a couple of months at maximum but people like me who don't have much disposable income cannot keep paying out lump sums for membership on a forum that, in all honesty, doesn't get that much.

If I was management, I would completely overhaul to VIP system and how it works and work it into 'grading' of VIP. It completely needs reworking and this includes everything - either way, I think it's a case of 1 step backwards and 2 steps forward because Habbox are definitely going the right way.

My two cents.

Yeah. £4 is a lot, especially since there aren't that many new features. Also the colours are the same, if there was different colours too then I'd be more interested.

It's the same. It's now the same to buy it with PayPal or SMS.

Aye, so have I. Probably going to have to wait at least a week until everything is in working order.

I'll still be buying VIP as I do want to give my support for the site, but I'm not going to be getting the VVIP I don't think - there aren't any features that I particularly care about as I don't do anything with my profile, so wouldn't be worth 250% of the price for me.

That's the kind of attitude we need towards this!
Kudos to you!

You don't need a coloured name, you don't need the other royalties as VIP. So I think it's a waste of £4. Lucky I have 4 months of this left. Or 3.

Your right the price is rather rubbish for the features you get, however it's about supporting the site really and anyone who buys VVIP would certainly be buying it to support the site, and good on them, we should all be grateful. I doubt anyone would buy VVIP for it's features.

Like someone has said, you don't understand the value of money, and if £4 is so little, why aren't you VIP, huh?! Typical reply of a Habbox Staff member if you ask me.

I agree Habbox could probably cut costs but not that way. First of all I'd scrap the failure of the image uploader all together, it'll cost them a lot presumably but not many use it. It's a rather pointless addition to Habbox if you ask me.

They're not going to save much money at all other than a few quid if they merged sites, I'd cut money by not paying some of the useless management and wasting around £100 on a vBulletin Chat which is unused.

I understand the name VVIP will probably be changed, but it is a bloody awful name for now, it seriously couldn't be any worse. Surely it could just be 'VIP+' or 'Habbox Extra' till it's changed? :P

Because I don't have a paypal or Habbo furniture to buy it with and I don't like doing it by SMS, is that a valid enough explanation for you?

Yeah, I agree we should give management a chance, as they are trying to make this forum better for us, and I really appreciate that. :)

You don't think £4 is a lot of money? I think its quite a lot really. :P

I've only bought VIP for myself once. Now I just buy for other people. I don't need VIP to enjoy Habbox. And also gold looks like orange..

That is constructive... 6 more features will make it worth the money. If they don't realise then they're not looking at the bigger picture.

Which members of management do you think are useless then? And yes the chat is often unused but it has actually had a few decent evenings and so I wouldn't say it was a waste really.

Calm down mate, you don't have to be negative about everything. Yeah it's not a wonderful name but I don't see why it's such a thing to get worked up about. Adding the extra V is just another "very" at the head of "very important person" so it's just the same as VIP+ or extra really.

I see it more as being a tad stroppy. Six more features, yes, but what features? It's not helping. It's better to name the six features than just to demand them.

They bought a 300dollar supposrt system aswell which asfar a I know isnt even working properly on the forum yet.

Maybe pay the bills instead of buying loads of stuff like chat which is empty evrytime I look

Was that the bug report thing? I don't get that, I'd have thought you can just post that there's a bug and it'd be easier

Of course, all Habbox staff share exactly the same thoughts and opinions. Just because one staff member has this opinion doesn't mean they all do, calling it a typical reply is a bit of a generalisation as I'd put my house on the fact you haven't spoken to every single staff member.

Just because it isn't working yet, doesn't make it a waste of money like you imply. When it's working it might be the most valuable asset to Habbox, who's to say?! The chat has been used quite a bit recently and I have no doubt if it's advertised more it could be quite a hit. :)

The Bug Reporter thing does seem a bit pointless "/ If it does what I think it does, then you may aswell just post a PM to someone or post a thread on the issue, and it'll be dealt with quicker and for free, not however much this thing costs.
