Habbox has many sites and the server costs are high. They are most likely in £x,xxx so if you dont want to buy it then dont. They are not forcing you to. Its just a donation to help them pay the bills.

They may be high BUT you have forgot, that if they lowered it by £1...

Say 10 people buy it now - £40

BUT if they lowered it to £3 then more people are likely to buy it so 20 people would buy it. thats £60 - Now what is better?

100% TRUE.

Totally Agree!

Anyone who took business studies will know, that prices must be kept competitive and affordable especially with other products e.g. regular VIP. For the price you pay, it isn't worth it. It's not even exclusive, which is possibly the only reason to make anything like VIP+ worth the money.

If it was £2.50, they'll make more money than if it were £4 via word of mouth and affordability for the price of the features.

Exactly.

They may only know the figures BUT they obviously arn't very good at business.. ;)

---

Hehe one of habbox's most trusted sellers here :D

Na but anyway, tbh the sellers charging 8hc is for a reason.

1hc = 50p.

400 / 50 = 8

---

Agreed. I can EASILY afford it, but it is overpriced for what i get. Value is the key :D

At the end of the day if not one person purchased it then yeah they might lower the prices but people are buying it so people are comfortable with the price. Some who buy it just want to give the money to Habbox whilst having a few extra features to go along with it.

---

It isnt the case of having to buy it.

If habbo management know anything about business, then they would realsie more will buy it at a lower price.

This VIP+ gives you so many more features and is a decent price.
If you can't pay it, Don't pay it.

---

We can pay :P But the reason some cant pay it as they waste most there money, as they cant see the VALUE.

----

BRING VIP+ OUT ON SMS PLEASE!

ADD MORE FEATURES.

MORE EXCLUSIVE COLOURS.

I have to agree its way ott on the price.

VIP was here to help people pay for the site so why not just improve that with more colours and more features which = more people? I have said this a few times recently but I think VIP+ is just greedy and one of the daftest ideas ever in HxF's history and there has been a few.

Some of you who say you dont need to buy and its a way of donating more surely you could donate directly out of the goodness of your heart if you feel so strongly? you dont need an excuse to donate.

Oh and I also think there should be a new user bar for VIP+ something a little more snazzy ;)

True true, But I don't like userbars :P
I will admit I like the userbars on clubhabbo though :P.

I reckon if they really wanted to make VIP+ members feel exclusive and Habbox wants to be grateful too them, they should perhaps limit the amount of VIP+ members to 10 and perhaps then up the price to £5 - Maybe it would be a bit less money though it does sound like you only have 5-6 at the moment, if members felt they were exclusive and actually part of Habbox, not just another randomer who bought VIP+ then maybe they'd pay the premium fee if only a limited number of people could have it, and they could perhaps be a waiting list if it became over-crowded.

I can't see many, if anyone liking my idea but if I genuinely felt like Habbox were grateful for my donation and gave that exclusivity, I'd perhaps treat myself occasionally.

I think your idea's good and all Jordy but people arnt buyin VIP+ because theres nothing SUPER unique i mean i think VIP is a tad overpriced but im willing to pay it, But VIP+ is way overpriced for the features it holds.

Lol, sorry but this time, i HATE that idea.

If only 10 could get it, then really the MAX they will get is: £600. That is however providing they each buy TEN months. It wont happen ;)

I have the money to buy VIP+ but it isn't worth it, they have recently improved what you get when you buy VIP+ but that doesn't make a difference to the price. I remember MAD or might of been nvr saying something like "VIP+ is for the users that are willing to pay a little bit more and help Habbox by giving a small donation" He doesn't mean that your paying for VIP+ and donating but he means that by paying more for VIP you are kind of donating to the site. But, if they made it just a pound or 2 cheaper to buy then they would sell more VIP+ so in the long run they will be making much more! ;)

When you say "add more features" it is always best to say some you would like to see.
