Featuring V8 - Ends 21st October

[Jane]

As you know Version 8 has just been released on .co.uk! I’m sure everyone was very excited to try out all the new features to see what had changed. Some people are loving it, and think it’s a fantastic thing to happen to the hotel. Others think not. What I want you to do is to write an article on the good and bad points of version 8 (no more than 300 words). You may write about the cool new dances available, or you may write about how non-hc’s don’t have as many new features as hc’s. So get typing!

Boogie Wonders...

Well, the moment we've finally been waiting for has arrived! Yes, V8 is finally here, with new features, such as updates to Habbo Club, two brand new Public Rooms, and my most personal favourite, groovy new dance moves! Yes the little angels from behind the desk at Sulake have brought out brand new dance moves, such as the Pogo Mogo, Duck Funk and The Rollie! They have also kindly renamed the original dance move to Hab-Hop.

As for the Public Rooms, there are two new rooms made specially for the members of Habbo Club, The House of Flying Carrots and The Majestic. Yes these rooms have been designed especially for the Habbo's who've paid for Habbo Club. The House of Flying Carrots bring you a new bot named Alhazred, and The Majestic brings two new bots, one named Gabriella Eden-Frost and a brand new DJ named DJ Monks who I think, takes a frightenening resemblence to our very own DJ-3000!

Lastly the new Habbo Club updates feature a brand new status bar, so you are able to view exactly how many months you have purchased and how many months/days you have left. Also, a fantastic update on buying Habbo Club, you are now able to buy Habbo Club in bulk. The options now are 1 Month, 3 Months and 6 Months, which they have also slashed the price rapidly! 1 Month stays the same at 25 Credits, 3 Months decreases to 60 Credits and finally, the best bargain of them all, 6 Months slashes rapidly to a whopping 105 Credits! Which is 45 Credits from the original price!

Unfortunately most of the updates are mainly for the members of Habbo Club, but I'm sure there will soon be more updates coming our way for both HC and Non-HC!

Nothing new for Non-Hcs.

Sulake Have produced Brand New features For Habbo Club members! These Features are a big turn over for habbo hotel! The partehhhs Rawk with the new Dances! Jump 'n' wave with pogo-mogo! Slide the the left! Slide to the right with Duck Funk! Roll across the dance floor with the rollie! New Amazing room! The house of flying Carrotts & The Majestics! New Bots! New people! New places! What more Could you want!

But... unfortunatly no New features for Non-Hcs! Making some felt left out and lonely. Even there Ignore button has been removed! Even though They do not pay a price of £2.50 I still think that somethink should be made for Non-Hcs only! Something they can show off about to Habbo club members! Somthing they can be proud of! Hope fully sulake can make a specail room for them! or maybe a Specail set of clothes! Or what I think would make it specail would be a Furni Only they could have!

Happy Habboing!

entry as you may know the v8 came out on the 13th of september there are some good points with it but some bad so here are some.(good points) I think v8 is good because its makes hc a lot better like having 2 new public rooms, Lots more dances and you can buy more hc for cheaper like 1 month 25 creds 3 months 60 creds 6 months 105 cred thats better value. Also it have a queue system which tell you how long you need to wait to get in a public room. (Bad Things). You can't have so much people on your consle, hc 500 ,non hc is about 100. Its is a little bit slower. Overall i would give it a thumbs up but something a thumbs down.

View from both sides.

Many habbo club habbo's say the new version 8 is a good thing. Other, non-habbo club habbo's say tis a bad thing. So, is it good? or is it bad?

The new features are mainly all for habbo club habbos to use. There are some advantages for habbo's who can't afford credits, such as the updated console, with the reject all button. There is also more sace for friends for both habbo club, and non-habbo club members. I can definately see why the habbo club members are happy, because they are able to use all of the updates. However, Many non habbo club members are not happy, because few updates effect them. I think they should look at the situation in a different way.

Habbo Hotel is not run for free. there are massive costs on running servers ETC. They should realise, that habbo club members are the only reason that habbo hotel is able to run. If there was no insentive to pay to become in the habbo club, then no-one would want to pay to join the habo club. With no money, Habbo Hotel would be shut down. Many people would find this a tragedy. They would lose contact with los of their new-found friends ETC. Non habo club members must try to realise that if there was no insentive to join the habbo club, then Habo Hotel would have to close down. Habbo club members keep the hotel free for all, and running. I say there should be lots more benefits for Habbo Club members too.

Most of us have envied other Habbos for having the New version 8 but now we've got it is it that good?!
The New Hand, The New Dances, The New Purse, The New Sytstem Of HC And much more New TVs New Turn On/Off Badge Device, But what if i said some of these are only for HCs and that when you go into most rooms you will be dancings the Hab-Hop while all the HCs will be doing the pogo mogo. I have gone to continues rooms where a non-HC will complain about it not being fair on Non-HCs. Well i have something to telll you! its only a game

Its just to try and get you to waste your money on habbo, Yeh habbo is great and all that but at the end of the day even if it does fill you with entertainment it is trying to rake your money in. Me? Im guliable i have just bought HC and im not impressed with the new things nothings changed! accept the dances, they need new clothes or something and what is the point of the new badge button when its easier to just click the badge!? The only thing i think what is good about the new Version 8 is the Dances and thats for HCs only. I put down some mode bars yesterday and turned them so my HC sofa will go off the ground i removed the bars went to sit down and it wouldn't let me i just went around them, the someone said to me "Thats the new version 8 its rubbish".

Version 8 Seems Brilliant don't you think ? Well For some it's awsome because we have loads of new features and rooms to enjoy. But the Habbo Club members can only use the Habbo club rooms and also use the new Dance moves. It may not Seem Fair For the non hc's because they don't get hardly any new features but everybody should be happy with it. Accept the Friends List situation , having to delete friends in order to add more. I Think that V8 Is Fairy Good But it should also be for Non-Hc's Too!

Thank you

I have been doing habbo for a long time. I quit and came back. When I came back, many things had changed, but there was only a small amount of things that habbo club members could have that non- habbo club members could not. I liked this, seeing that I was non-hc.

Personally, I strongly disliked the update for several reasons. This update gave HC members all of the power in the hotel. They get new dance moves, get to access special rooms, and it seems to me that they even get priority in getting into rooms. I think that this makes Sulake look very money-hungry and I did not think that they would want this title.

To me, all other things are non-important about the update. I think there is a perfect balance between the amount of power that HC members should have over non- HC members, and Sulake has failed to find that balance. I think that they should re-evalute and hope that the next update is more sucessful for all habbos, not just HC members.

V8 Article

It's been a long time coming, but V8 has finally arrived on the UK hotel.
Habbo Club members are bubbling over with happiness at all the added bonuses they have recieved due to V8 being released. These include cool dance routines including Pogo Mogo and The Rollie. There are also two new HC-only public rooms in which HC members are dancing the Duck Funk as I type. There are also the bonus Habbo Club membership offers, with cycles becoming a lot cheaper when bought in bundles.
What about the Non-HC's, I hear you say? Well, there are a few new features available for us Habbos who are unable to purchase credits. These include the 'Reject All' button on the console. Though it may not seem quite as glamorous as the new HC features, paying customers tend to get a little more. We should be happy that we can play on the hotel free of charge, except for buying credits.
One of the not-so-good features that came with the release of V8 is the friend-list feature. Now, non-HC's are only allowed 100 friends on their friend list at any given time. They cannot accept or send friend requests if they have over one hundred. This may not be such a problem for the HC's, as they are allowed five hundred. I am sure most people who had large friend lists before V8 came out did not enjoy deleting some of their friends.
Who is enjoying V8? Who is not enjoying V8? I think the majority of people would agree that is an okay update apart from the niggly little bits that annoy us all to death. We must try to make the most of it. We can't go back now.
