mm so they lied that they couldn't come back due to code flash shockwave w.e lol
I miss the old public rooms
I remember when they brought back the Hallway for a while. It was packed everyday. Not sure why they got rid of it again.
I can tell you're frustrated, and that's fine, you have every right to be.
Customer support has been very flawed, even before the merge. I remember the shock I got the day I logged in to Habbo UK to find Spiffy permed. At the time, BT Click & Buy was one of the options to buy stuff with. The reason for the perm was that when BT took the money to buy my HC, the card being used didn't have enough money in. Habbo assumed I stole without paying so they permed me. I pestered customer support to no avail. Finally, Mod-0rca personally gave me a random number in the UK to call (probably Habbo HQ UK) and I explained the situation. Guess what? Because of that call, I got un-permed.
I did some web sluething and some people unfortunately weren't as lucky, see this thread: http://www.habboxforum.com/showthread.php?t=36535
Customer support will continue to be less than stellar until they decide to open up a hotline where you can talk to a real person. Google Customer Support does that, so why can't Sulake?
In my personal opinion, moderation has gotten worse without Hobbas patrolling the hotel. Hobbas worked with mods who promptly put things in order and things were taken care of asap. Now we just get half-arsed LATE auto messages like "There is no evidence in the chat log". Clutter of UIs is again Sulake's fault because they laid off a lot of staff.
Yurre was the one interacting with the community, noting down our issues to pass on. So did Kitano with his Soapbox. Where are they now? Fired. Everything you see that's wrong about Habbo now is all Sulake's fault. What makes Habbo worth re-visiting is the community and friendship making. Right now you can't do that due to lack of people even wanting to STAY on like back in the day, UK Habbo got 10k users, don't the bosses in suits not think 'hmm what did we do wrong? was it the merge? was it letting go of important people that helped give the hotel some character?" Everything now is basically, buy furni or stay bored on Habbo.
Public Rooms were and ARE a staple of Habbo. The new users would love to roam the Hallways just like we were able to, instead of being confined to user-owned rooms (where a lot of people are trolls tbh) i'd rather be in a good looking public room where i'm not going to get kicked for sitting in the wrong seat. And FYI, I spoke to new users who weren't around for the older rooms, but once they've seen screenshots, they were 100% on board to bring them back. So there's your argument gone, lol.
And to make this rant a little less tense, here's a screenshot of powertoo enabling pets in the Theatredrome back in January, enjoy. :)

I guarantee you didn't just show them a screenshot and probably attempted to glorify them. I honestly do not see a gigantic problem at the moment with public rooms (minus the fact there's so few like wtf I want Zen Garden) and at the end of the day they are modernised to match Habbo Beta or whatever crap UI we're on atm, it would look terrible having such an outdated room in a modern "hotel". When you could still access them through room links it was great fun, but they honestly didn't fit in at all.
I didn't know merely mentioning habborator's archives meant glorifying old public rooms. Some of the new users found them on their own and struck up a conversation about it with me, so don't jump to conclusions. Every point you and I have made are equally important so this shouldn't even be a conversation over what needs to be handled first :rolleyes:
