Merge...

Right the merge happened at 1PM. I think Habbox needs to acknowledge this on the Forum ASAP, like a little message at the top or something "Are you from US, CA, SG or AU then jump into our international competition HERE" or something. So many people have asked me on the new hotel why I have the fansite badge and rather than saying HabboForum (which is why I have it) I've been advertising Habbox. A lot of people keep saying the forum is down (before it came back up).

Anyway, I think it would be good if you quickly did something for the international users which might give them more inclination to use this forum rather than any others (UK has by far the strongest habbo forums).

lol need to get onto hotel before I can advertise (it's a maintenance break for me atm.. hmmm)

as the exact date/timing was pretty random, I'm sure it's just taking a bit of time to get things into place but they'll come (hopefully!). The idea of a giveaway seemed like the best idea to me. :D

Yeah but the longer nothing is done for it the less likely they're going to use Habbox imo.

Of course but it's only been 3 hours (nearly)!
and the forum's been on maintenance too, bad timing :p

People knew the merge was happening and it was released on the .com hotel at like 10AM. Very bad timing for the forum being down but that can't be helped.

At the moment I am writing an article on Habbox.com - almost like a guide for new users and visitors, so as to let them know what we offer and what we do. A notice will be arranged shortly when I have relevant information to put on it. This really couldn't have happened at a more inconvenient time, given that I have been in college with exams all day and we are all very busy! Nevertheless we will get cracking with events on the new merged Habbo and start working as hard as we can to ensure we attract international users.

Don't forget jake, in their time zone most of it is like what, 8am? so they've got college n stuff too!

There are lots of international users on the .com hotel, a lot of them saying it's their summer. Thing is there was a message on the .com hotel like 10/11ish confirming the merge and 5/6 hours have been wasted where nothing has been done. I know it's unfortunate just thought I'd make this thread so you get something on the go :) I know people have been on Habbox because I've had at least 10 people ask about my fansite badge and they said they might Habbox a go and a few comments said they liked the habbox.com layout and stuff.

I am currently on my way home. I'll get a notice set up for both guests and new users immediately.

As Garion said a very inconvenient time but we will be set up for AU and US peak times.

I agree with Jake on this one. The sooner all of this kind of thing gets sorted, the quicker Habbox will able to adapt into the new Habbo.com. It would be a shame to see Habbox get left behind simply because things aren't implemented quick enough.
