The Habbo Recession

[CurtisJohns]

Heya, Im CurtisJohns, :-) I know I'm not as smart as some of the Rare Values Staff and stuff but I just wanted to express my view about the "Habbo Recession" and how I think it could be brought out of it....

Please note: this is interpretation.. IT AINT GOSPEL, so dont commetn adn say how do you no etc,

:: POINT 1 :: The Sudden Collapse
I believe that the Habbo recession has happened because of Habbo itself. I think that when they changed the credit purchase from 35 to 25 credits the general Working Class habbos were not getting good value for money, an example: If you bought a pet or HC Club then you would have just a few measly credits to buy actual furniture. This must have surely effected the habbos that keep the rare values system in place, which is of course the poorer, medium class habbos, no offence meant But because the medium class habbos couldnt buy more expensive rares and it would take them longer to save to offord them. this would send the "Super rares" into decline and the demand would have fallen because of the realisation of being unable to offord them. Next, all of the super rares sellers wouldnt be able to make a profit as they could do before meaning they were less likely to sell them and put them out into the habbo world.

:: POINT 2 - The Other Consequences
With poorer habbos dedicated to HC and pet buying, Poorer habbos were not generally able to buy expensive and extravegant rares, and because of the release pet related items and hc club items, Habbos lost interest in rare values and this effected it hugely. Imagine how many people bought credits from habbo, 8000 or more? Now take 10 Credits from each of them habbos that you would have gotten before the purchase change, its basically like a habbo shark has taken a bite out of the credit and rare values market, Within a month the rare values market had gone into meltdown..

:: POINT 3 - Credits, Credits,Credits
With poorer users unable to buy habbo credits due to the Real world recession, People began to sell there rares and furniture in a desperate bid to get credits. This then meant that the Credits Market saw a huge increase due to demand, which changed the importance of rares within the hotel... within the weeks to follow rares began to drop and rise in price rapidly, the majority of dragons and other supers increased whilst the hc furrni (dicemasters, medieval bookcase, butler) suffered a huge drop due to people loosing basic strength to stand there groun and try and get profit. Confidence generally lacked and this saw the collapse of many rare values because people were so desperate for creds they stopped caring about dignified and respectable values...

:: POINT 4 - Only Habbo Can Restore Confidence,,,
A way to possibly kick start the habbo economy and encourage sales would be for habbo to give away 5 credits to every habbo as they used to do, but they seemed to have stopped now have you noticed? If they could give away creds, 5 or possibly more, then each habbo would be encouraged to go out and buy and maybe this would increase sellers, and suppliers for furni. also people would then be actively using the trade rooms and keeping the moral of the trade room owners up encouraging them to buy more rares as stock, A Circle that relies on Supplier >> Seller>> Buyer. etc.

Thanks for listening and post your views below.. remember that Im just taking a creative wild guess cos i was bored so dont dig me for it. thanks haha

very interesting read, congrats

I'd argue the opposite, as sad as I am P) I have even made a chart for the history of whats happened economically throughout the history of the hotel and to be honest, we've never been more better off than we are around this point in time. This boom outstripped the other two by a mile and even now although its dropped off a bit, we're still much richer than we were at the height of the 2008/2009 boom.

But who is we? Because many Middle Class habbos are still poor. the only people who have benefited are the rich habbos.

[-:Undertaker:-]

If your to divide everyone into classes, then the poorer and middle have benefitted the most. Below i'll list some examples of how some of the cheapest rares doubled/tripled in price within a few weeks (bear in mind i've listed their peak prices as since around last week they have begun to drop in value);

Alien Lifeform went from 0.3 CS to 2.0 CS
Astro-Bar went from 0.5 CS to 2.5 CS
Crogenic Bed went from 0.4 CS to 2.0 CS
Green & Green Marquee went from 0.7 CS to 1.5 CS
Ultramarine Marquee went from 1.0 CS to 2.0 CS
Red Dragon Marquee went from 1.0 CS to 2.5 CS
Big Ben went from 1.0 CS to 2.5 CS
Blue/Green/Yellow Bear Rug went from 0.3 CS to 0.9 CS
Organ went from 0.5 CS to 1.5 CS
Emerald Spaceship Door went from 0.5 CS to 2.0 CS

Thats just some examples of the lower rares, next up; the middle rares.

Peppermint Ice Cream Machine went from 4.0 CS to 16.0 CS
Cherry Ice Cream Machine went from 4.0 CS to 14.0 CS
Pistachio Ice Cream Machine went from 2.5 CS to 10.0 CS
Deluxe Theatre Chair went from 6.0 CS to 10.0 CS
romantique_clock went from 4.0 CS to 15.0 CS
Red/Blue Amber Lamp went from 1.0 CS to 3.0 CS
Yellow Amber Lamp went from 2.0 CS to 4.5 CS
Security Fence went from 8.0 CS to 19.0 CS

Thats just the tip of the iceberg.

FANTASTIC graph! i love it!!

[CurtisJohns]

Myargument isnt about the poor benefitting, what i meant was that those poor habbos who dont ALREADY own rares will now struggle to buy them cos of the increase in values, and great graph by the way, this is a good topic to discuss and I take everyones opinions sincerley so dont worry , were all friend here haha,

[Kyle]

FANTASTIC graph! i love it!!

I actually love you so much

guys, I think you're going way too into this. that comment about 'middle class habbos' was just idiotic

why isn't there a poll option for 'i couldnt give a bobba about credit prices, i dont buy them anyway' this poll is biased

[Ardemax]

agreed with kyle

there's no such thing as middle class habbo's, working class or higher class?

if you honestly want to talk about the habbo "economy" and "recession" then I'd say more prices have gone up for rares and there's been more hackings
that's it

[Gibs960]

Habbo hasn't collapsed :S some stuff has gone up and some stuff has gone down, its not as if people are sellin thrones for 5 creds, stuff like this will always happen, and how is it habbos fault? And habbo will always be split into rich and poor habbos just the way it is.
