What do you miss the most from back in the day?

Hey guys!

Just a little question and fun discussion here!

What do you miss the most from back in the day. Personally, this relates to my opinion for "back in the day" which is within the time period of 2004 - 2008. I think after that, Habbo changed a little to much for me!

What I miss:

...I miss Wobble Squabble! It was one of my most favorite games to play!
I loved the game style and I just loved the challenge and hanging out with tons of friends just playing for hours and never getting bored. As well as..... 25c HC's! Sure I'm not really complaining about the price now. But It's just the fact to the point of HC's were like the **** back then now they're 2c's ? Come one.

I miss Hobba's the most though. They were so friendly and fast-acting. And I must say better than MOD's nowadays. Hobba's live on forever <3


Well...those are my most fond memories for now I guess! I'll be sure to add more as we go along. Now it's your turn guys/gals !

What do you miss? Or name a favorite memory from the time period! :dance:


Thanks,

Arthur

I miss ALL the Public rooms, the games and old habbo colours.. I still have an account with the dark pink colour on it. Although I dont miss the eXperts.. Mods do a fair job imo. I miss Lostie and his Meet the manager room the most haha.

Don't really miss the old trade system, there was no variety and rooms couldn't be made. and I don't miss the hand, it was a pain.
I miss that poof when you used to change clothes :P

Well there are a lot more things I can't remember but I dont think that Habbo sucks now. It has changed for the better

Oh I didnt talk about camera! I obviously miss it a lot!

I miss the old games like bb and ss, old rare values, the old layout (hate the infostand), typing .co.uk instead of .com and how staff came on and did events and actually interacted.

I miss thinkhabbo the most though and all the people from within that community. I have the best habbo memories with people from th and habbo was never the same for me after it shut.

Not sure about 2004 onwards, but my favourite overall was back when if you had rights in a room you could give/take to/from other people as well so all the army and mafia groups had spy divisions who'd try getting rights in enemy rooms and then share it around to trash the place. So much fun

i miss the photo's and being able to take a photo, hahah getting yr camera out. i miss scripting, when my friend had like rooms full of bizarre stickies and flags in the floor. i miss all my friends from 2005, god knows what happened to them. i miss funky friday, when the prizes were actually good. i miss snewsbox and i miss sitting in there hahaha.

@kirst: i still type .co.uk hahahahha.

Another thing I miss!

The hand! For your furni! Like come on. What else has just a giant hand pop out of no where

When stray pixels was actually Habbo based

ROFL DDP FTW <3

The community. I mean, fansites used to get hundreds of listeners on their radios constantly now they're next to dead most of the time. And there used to be tons of "famous" habbos which was always funny too and I do miss being an X, although it started to get huge, obvious flaws. And to be honest, I just miss seeing my e-friends on there although I am still in contact with quite a few of them still, it's obviously not the same, not worse or better just different.

Community. Nice! It was very populated in 06-07 especially as you've mentioned. Fan sites.

i also miss how 'back in the day', people weren't so caught up over the past, and played habbo for fun

I miss battle ball or w.e they called it. Ik they made a battle banzai, but it just isn't the same! I also miss the original hand ;)

Fair enough :P

David.

My 'back in the day' was 2001/2002 (UK hotel) so I miss ALOT heh.

1)No HC/VIP - made everyone a bit less up their bums mostly

2) Separate hotels - hated merge

3) Hobbas - a good percentage did an awesome job (Unlike X's :))

4) Trading logistics - When you could get like 30-40 norms for a hc etc

5) The hand - Loved the hand!

6) Public rooms - They focused on habbo being more of chat site

7) The general smaller community - Habbo UK used to be 100-200 online sometimes in the very early days so everyone often knew everyone else and your call for help was immediately answered.

8) The little message alert on your console - such a cute sound

Glad to see this is going well. The hand's still my most missed thing. Also as mentioned above ^ the sound was awesome.

But I must say.. The merge was the worse.

Back in the day for me is 2004-early 2006.

The people I miss the most are people like :James, DJ-Cookeh, JackHb, Seacat, Baving, Clarissa... The old crew.

Snowstorm.

dont hate me for making this thread, but i was curious what people missed from habbo. you dont have to quit to post here about the things you miss. of course you can still miss things that arent there anymore even if you still play.

i miss my friends saying STEEE<3 when i enter a room and theyre there, i was listening to some old songs and it reminded me of habbo for some reason, probably because i used to listen to them when i played habbo, i missed the old days of USA where holodices were rare and having a rare casino was something, i miss having fun on habbo before all the glamorous updates, and i just miss the old habbo, everything about it.

i understand the game is growing and changing for the better of the company, but there are just some things that arent going to be the same.

(not raging over updates or anything, although the old Habbo will be greatly missed) (yn)

HABBO FIFA OFC!!! ******* **** ***** allowed diag & it ******* ruined the BEST game EVER

Audio in video contains swearing

I really miss being able to give rights to people to be able to drop furniture in your rooms... really need that back imo!

I just miss the simplicity of what the game used to be. There are so many updates these days that I can't even keep up. :P

yeah, wobble squabble was an odd game, but it was pretty fun. habbo in my opinion is a clear example of something trying to become fixed when it wasnt broken in the first place. i do miss that big hand with all your furniture, that was a very unique thing that sorta made habbo, habbo.

much prefer the inventory now.

miss in-game events v much :(

I miss Hotel Managers giving out nice Rares on their Birthday >.> Even though I didn't get a Throne :(

I missed BB , SS Wobble Squabble PLUS THE HABBO BOTS WE CAN BUY!

Yes that was good as, allowed me to grab my brothers furni so much easier XD
the big hand was awesome though!

A lot of things. The people, untradable credits, only pre-v7 rooms and furniture (they went way overboard with the new stuff), hobbas, etc.

I miss everything about the old Habbo. Including Wobble Squabble, Snowstorm and all the public rooms. ;'(

Something recent I miss is the ability to change your badge in the client! It was so much easier just clicking your badge then clicking a new one, we had this option for a little while then it just left! Maybe it was buggy and glitchy or something but I thought it was helpful!

More older things I miss are the staff events, Snowstorm game and of course the public rooms! And when exchange credits in the catalogue didn't have the tax on them! I basically miss most of the stuff everyone else said here except the hand, although it was cool the current inventory is much more easier to use :)

I miss Battleball, Snowstorm, The Big Hand & all the great DJ's from Habboxlive (late 2007/early 2008 era)

I'll make a list, first one on the list being the thing I miss the most.

1. My old friends
2. habbo.com.au
3. Snowstorm
4. Photos
5. Public rooms
6. Wobble Squabble
7. When MOD-Blueeyes visited my Grand Prix Racing going for a Time Trial
8. When I thought my noob looks were actually very cool!
9. The Lava Game (is now kind of like the wired mazes)
10. The old Pure Refrigerator look
