UK Market Decline

[TopManTim]

Habbo doesn't need lots of versions to get more players it needs good, active staff who host lots of events, quests, and competitions.

I'm new here on Habbox. Aside from that all this reminded me of one short witty story. I'm sure you've all heard it =)

''This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody, and Nobody.

There was an important job to be done and Everybody was asked to do it.
Everybody was sure Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about that because it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought Anybody could do it, but Nobody realized that Everybody
wouldn't do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when actually Nobody asked Anybody.''

Just thoughts.
=)

Habbo is going to collapse sooner or later anyway. Think about it
It's not exactly a long term thing. The audience of it all for starters is
12-18. That means the people who started playing habbo at 12, even they
are now going due to jobs and in general, due to life. The new people coming along
get sucked into the traditions already on Habbo, and indeed, there is a tradition.
Which means that there is no fresh blood to it all to keep up the excitement.

A throne is 30 quid in credits.
30 quid buys you a decent game on most consoles.

Also there are other MMORPGs cropping up on the internet.
Second Life for example. Or World of Warcraft. Compare Habbo to them
and it's almost a joke. Charging teenagers so much money for dinky
little graphics is hilarious. I'm not criticizing anyone I'm just
stating the facts. What effort in it all deserves that much money?

As for the super rare trading, I'm not any part of that but all
I can say is that I think all the prices are quite literally
insane and what's the point of having a super rare when the
only people who are rich enough to buy them are in fact the
people who have them anyway..?

Just thoughts.

Anywho, thanks for listening - if you did =)

unfortantly habbos nowadays hate quests which are running up to a rare being released. :@ before the sea dragon came out (i know it was ages ago but still) there was a quest, there were more people rioting about having to wait for a rare to come out than people taking part in the quest :rolleyes: when a few years ago there was a quest before every release of a rare.

anyway there are now more supers/rares and less people playing meaning the prices will drop.

Personally, I feel the only safe investment is the petal patch.

I find that funny, about a month ago I invested in one (5 HCs), and it got re-leased causing the value to drop quite a bit

The rare market is suffering probably because of the decline in visitors. Last summer there was a huge boom in the rare trade market, now there is a huge slump. Bring it all down to what there is to do: Nothing. Think about the GTE v GPW competition. Both home pages mention Jenova and Tea A, 2 teams from a competition held about a year and a half ago.

At that time all the habbo staff (as their were seberal other teams) were trying to build up support for their team, they spent masses of time online and made the competition quite popular.

Helkat and Lost_Witness are hardly ever online and both team bases are deserted. Things weren't like this when Callie was still manager.

Im starting to realise why Callie was so popular, Lost_Witness isn't putting in as much effort. The hotel is becoming more furni orentated and now with fewer visitors the market is starting to collapse. I recently bought a petal patch and an aloe vera, both a dropped by at least one HC in value, I got a Gothic throne for a Hc a few months ago, its worth half that now.

With less demand for furni the rare market is starting to collapse, the only stable value is the HC sofa and it always has the same value. My view is that when rare trading crumbles into nothing the UK hotel will probably last about a month.

PS: the process has already begun, although I am looking at least a year into the future
PSS: Compare Habbo Hotel to America in the 1920s and 1930s

[visa.]

lol if habbo is america in the thirties, in the great depression

all we need now is a habbo war to jumpstart the economy

just like in the good ol' us of a

That or a New Deal, and a Hotel Manager that goes by a name that sounds like Roosevelt or FDR

[tinyjosh01]

Is it me or are numbers slowly and i mean very slowly creeping up to 6000 most nights at peak times?

Last few nights I noticed this.

Just me?

[DJ-Saber]

Big Deal, there used to be well over 10,000 (i think) on at peak times

i think they need continus comp/chats/whatever else and they need to do them more fairly i.e they should give a week be4 the event anybody wanting to go put there name forward and are chosen. also when they do an event you go get there proper fast and its full or they lock it and be4 its even open and theres maybe 15 people there already and its a 25 person room it just makes you not want to go even look next time maybe they should open bigger special rooms that open for these events with no chat to help lag or somthing they need somthing like a cinima where you can watch a film or design things for ya room or habbo maybe even using the food in the cafe's to change ya habbo ie make u fatter/thinner taller or shorter they just need to keep you continusly wanting you to go on habbo with ya friends when they have that more people will want a nice room to meet there friends in and maybe the rare values will go up

and really they do need more better things tat ya habbo react to or just look well cool

Games and Events are part of the problem but not really, it's versions and advertising that will keep sulake wealthy.

They need to update the game and continue doing it and also advertise a lot, otherwise for the first time, I don't see a future for Habbo Hotel.

Look at our Market now, it's worse than in winter.
