see. alot of white people in south africa and none in other parts so they do it in the white area.

Not really, because alot of people in Africa don't have an internet connection, and if they do they could use Habbo SA, if the were one.Quote:

I think habbo would only bother with SA because it is english speaking..
They would not go to all that trouble to translate into tonnes of african languages..
Plus SA is the richest african country so i guess that's where the market is.
Whut is ze language over zhere? :P
Anyway.. would be cool if it came :)
What do you mean by that? They won't have a multi language hotel.Quote:

http://www.habbohotel.co.za is not registered though.
They probably got more hotels coming .. wouldnt surprise me ...
Actually they're local hotels. Can't argue with Sulake.Quote:

If they did this I would open up a fansite straight away take rare values lol and own them :) I would also register on first day and apply to be an X. I would completely mvoe to that hotel lol, would be quality :)
I was like the first person on the Singapore hotel :) I have a good name there, so it could be the same for you :P

Doubt they would but a poll on sulake?
Omg if this had to happen I would prob go insane because you guys have no idea how crap its been to use Habbo for nearly 3 years now and not be able to buy credits since im form South Africa and that!
So yarr lets hope this does happen! And yes we speak english and afrikaans as our second language but we have 11 official language here in SA so if Habbo did make a SA hotel im sure it would be in English.
As for the comment that Africas poor erm yarr northern africa has its bad spots like any country but southern africa aka South Africa is such a developed country so that whole thing that Africa as a whole is poor is such bull. ;)
Im from UK and I wernt able to buy credits for 4 years but in between i was a nasty habbo and 'burrowed' from people and 'lent' their accounts lol but stopped 2 years ago lol but yeh habbo south africa would be SOOOOO good would b cool to be one of first habbos made, whats time difference tho?
At the moment the time difference is just a hour, you guys are behind us by a hour and when you have winter your 2 hours behind us because you use artificial time and change your clocks etc and talking about becomming a eXpert wow I could actually apply to be a mod come to think of it. Anyway how do you know for sure that Habbo is even considering doing this I mean people talk alot of bull so yarr?
Oh wow! First South African I've met on Habbo! Whereabouts you from?Quote:

Dunno if anyone has said cuz i cbf looking though all the posts, but if habbohotel.co.za isnt taken someone should register it :D

Exactly, the italian hotel domain got bought for £330Quote:
