HxHD events?

What ever happend to events in HxHD? o.0

I remember when Dan (Dan2nd) was manager, and he'd always organise events for HxHD, such as quests or even quiz's in HxHD, but now it seems theres, well no events.

The events always got HxHD popular and was always good fun, now the only time HxHD gets popular is when some DJ brings in the listeners, which is just plain annoying and not fun.

Just seems HxHD is just a lounge with nothing to do but talk now really.

(for those who don't know when i say events, i mean quizes and such inside HxHD, not like falling furni etc which is done by the Events team not HxHD :P, like safety quizes, habbox quiz were always fun in HxHD)

Will it ever be back? as it was always a positive way to advertise for HxHD.

Dan always did do loads of events yeah, when i became manager we still did do quite a few quizzes and that murder mystery thing. When i got a department report it was always that i was to do more events to promote the desk. But as you know people will just come in to win the prizes and then probably never come back cause you always say that yourselffff anyway.
Would be good to see some sort of events back though!!

Yes, but people actually come to the desk and enjoy it, and the regular people in there enjoy it.

In comparison to their other method of advertising getting the DJ to host the party there, which is generally annoying to people who come in HxHD alot and even some of the staff find it annoying, especially with half of the noobs flooding aload of crap. :) and as soon as the DJ moves they all move, so isn't making anything better. :P

Events in the desk would be grand, but there's no need for excessive amounts. Maybe a weekly quiz night, and the odd few seasonal events would be enough. The popularity of HxHD has increased, its often got quite a lot of people there without a DJ, but events wouldn't hurt of course. Then again, if we do hold events they probably would be advertised on the radio like all events are.

I blame leah!

Indeed not all the time, but i ain't seen an event from HxHD in ages? 99% of the time theres a DJ in HxHD.

I agree, maybe we should bring some events in.

but this would have to correspond to the events timetable, so as they dont clash :)

As the manager of events is SS, and the asst manager of events is SS i'm sure they'd manager :)

I do have to agree with that, and i think that the change from the huge staff area to the smaller staff area and more of a social kind of room was a greaidea, even though it happened ages ago yh just thought i would say. :D

And yeahh one sort of big event every so often would be ok like i done the murder mystery thing then Jay or whoever it was done that chritmas roulette? thing. But general quizzes would be quite kl

I think HxHD events is a good idea :)

Yeah I'm trying to sort out regular quizes in the desk, need to discuss it with Sam and Nvr first though, but definitely a valid thread - shows there is a demand for HxHD events. :D

ye but we have our own department to run.

they'd manage*

Yeh i know, but my point is you'd be able to make sure theres no clashes in the timetable (as in hxhd event same time as hxe event), not as in you'd manage the events for HxHD.

No it's because I'm there.

And HxHD Events used to be great, I remember the murder mystery, and it was so fun (thank god I didn't kidnap Hayley). But I do think that the HxHD was always popularised by the lovely Events, and Roxy and Lucy should be able to give advice, Events are popular, and people often go to more than 1, so it's a way to publicise the HxHD, which is a great place, so Leah - EVENTS NOW KFNX!!

Me and Sam have an easter surprise lined up not to mention some quizes coming your way ;)
keep your eyes open :D.

I'll be there :P

I didnt tell you what :D

Looking forward to some HxHD Events.
I believe it was brought up between the team a while back, doesn't look like it got kicked off... :P

Right... this is going to shock a few people as my opinion on matters about Habbox Help Desk have changed vastly since the days when I would argue to save HxHD.

The problem is, Habbo have done help desks out of business with their new extensive site with groups, increased moderation, Habbo X's used to be a factor and generally a more self explanatory system... which isn't really hard to use. It's gradually happened over the years, but it certainly has happened, unfortunately.

Therefore no event will increase the popularity of the "Help Desk", as someone has already mentioned, it will just bring in people for prizes who will never return.

When I managed the Help Desk I spent an awful lot of time in there and over the period I worked for HxHD the number of people needing genuine help declined quite rapidly. I remember sitting for hours at the desk helping people endlessly. I remember then seeing my staff do this.. but less & less people came in for help and more and more people came in to doss around.

The thing is, staff don't really go to the help desk anymore to work and it functions fine without staff helping. The room popularity would not change whether there were staff employed or not, this is by no means in offence to Leah & her team, there is just nothing they can do really.

Once upon a time, Habbox Help Desk would be feeder for the Habbox Community. Someone would come into Habbox Help Desk and ask for help, and if staff were unsure, or the customer was happy with the help and asked what organisation we were from we let them know the forum & the website. It was great for bringing new people into the Habbox Community.

Now I think the method has died and something new needs to come about. Management have been thinking about ditching HxHD for years, 8Freak8 wanted me to turn it into a bloody kickwars! :O

People who go to HxHD are just regular Habboxers, which is good but what about bringing new people in?

Weekly quiz nights, events all sound brilliant and quite possibly should happen.. but why not turn the help desk into more of a get together room.

I'll refer it to something from real life, by no means do I mean make it into a Habbo version of this.

Take a Pub. People go there to socialise, they have quiz nights and generally do entertaining things.

Why not make a room to suit that purpose for Habbox? 'Cause come on that's basically what Habbox is, it's just not drawing people in 'cause of the bland Help Desk name.. "It's a help desk, I dont need help?" New people think.

Habbox has had a Help desk for years and it would be the end of a very huge and important era, but the times are changing, the times have changed and maybe it's a good idea for Habbox to do this too, instead of leaving HxHD there, wasting away.

Secretly HxHD is a lounge now, as the staff area is like 9 spaces (floor wise) rest is just a open area but its not officially a lounge its sitll help desk.

I initially disagreed with the idea to turn it into a lounge, it was mentioned when I was manager, but i was always pro-HxHD, but then in my day it was used as a help desk.

I really do think it would be beneficial to go all the way with the lounge idea, it would work so well, and maybe just have a few official habbox representatives in there as staff to direct people around habbox...

Didn't the forum have something like that a few months ago with Catzsy & people? But something like that for on habbo would be great.

init I'm not often on but when I am I hardly ever see any staff in there, just randoms and HxF people. More events and stuff in there would mean they actually have a job instead of a redundant position of "you're a mate so you can work there"

Mm Yeh im usually in HxHD (well until they decided to perm me for blocking for 15 mins :S) and often its the lower staff (non SS's) in there but there is only like 12 staff now, and usually just people who come in alot, but then it will fill up with annoying kids called HabboxLive listeners, then they leave and its dead again. basically only time its populr is when hxl bring their annoying listeners.

I can tell you that's not the case. There are a certain amount of spaces open for staff, so it's not about, you're a mate so you can work there", as to get a job you need to be recommended by several staff. Also, the staff there at the moment are all very active and always willing to help. As for events, there are some planned so keep your eyes open :)

Suck up to 2 staff, problem solved :P

The decision to make HxHD a lounge was made ages ago, this all happened when Sammeth. took ownership. It's called HxHD incase people want help but the main purpose of it, is for social gatherings and what not. As for you guys saying its never popular, it's always popular, im in there a lot myself and whenever I go in there are always people there and I disagree completely with you skot when you say that it's only popular with HxL listeners as atm there is 19/25 people and no HxL party... :S
Another thing, we don't hire staff if we're friends with them, we hire people who get recommended AND who we think would be a good staff member.

sometimes it gets a little popular when groups come in (ie it was gem with holly etc came in there was 4 of em or something) and the regulars (about 5 people) so gets it a bit popular and randomers come and sit in door

atm theres 17 people in there

8 of which are HxHD staff (Sammeth, Leaahh., Roxy916, CHA!NGANG, Netaxes, omgMatt, Angel-Charlene, Alex3213)

and theres the regular people; me, nic, lee.norman, dastupid, smarteh. and theres randomers who noone knows.... :P
