    What if a user doesn't here the voucher since some background noise? That's £3 down the drain. It's so easy with Habbo to tap in a few numbers and then 'they do all the leg-work'
    Once again I quote:

    This is untrue. We have not made public the costings of credits, and we provide a voucher code over the telephone which can be used on any account with further abilities to do other tools from the website.
    You do not know how many credits per £3, the speaking of voucher codes has already been investigated and worked on so that the issue you say will not ever occur even on the worse of telephone lines, plus optional features on site will help to also do all the leg work after your first payment!

    With a voucher code over the phone there's always the possibility you wont hear it, or will forget it (I know i would)

    So i think that should be changed

    Voucher Codes over the phone work perfectly fine as prooven by RuneScape one of the largest Java pay to play games in the world, which has this option as a payment method.

    Glad to hear your working on this project James at least we know there's some level headed developers? Im guessing now at what your doing, security side of things?

    Is there a staff list anywhere? I'd be interested to know who else is behind it.

    Edit: Apologies is any of this information has already been asked, you'll have to forgive me for not reading the whole thread.

    All matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. We are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectivly. There is no such thing as death, life is only a dream and we're the imagination of ourselves.

    Can't you re-hear the code, When I use to buy credits they use to always repeat the code.

    I hate you Callie, you were on Habbo too much to the point where you being online wasn't a national holiday.

    ClubTropica? I've eared it all now. Personally, I feel that it's just another MMORPG Development that's been quickly brainstormed, then taken in to development on a spur of the moment basis. You may all feel differently opinionated against the way I feel about this MMORPG Development, but that's the entire purpose of a forum right? to debate and discuss. (so I'd respect if Moderators not to delete this post).

    The reason why I strongly feel against ClubTropica is that it's nothing original in the context that it'll be a community for multiply users, to socialise within and create perhaps rooms, and purchase furniture to furnish the rooms etc. Yet, the entire purpose of the project is for profits and a source of income, just like Sulake Oy's "Habbo Hotel", another method of taking advantage of venerable pre-teenagers who enjoy communicating with friends over the internet in a false projected environments. When you look in to projects like "Habbo Hotel", you'll tend to notice that it's an addictive game because users tend to feel that they're protected from the real-world in a sense that "I don't need to go out, now I've got Habbo Hotel because they're hundreds of other teenagers to make friends with and play with!". Same scenario with ClubTropica, just promoting to teenagers a falsely projected community based on "Holidays and Vacations" without leaving your door! That's why you tend to see the majority of teenagers in today's society becoming secluded.

    Sadly, I've been one of those users who've dwelled on Habbo for sometime, and due to Habbo my social life and education did lack for sometime. However, after overcoming some problems, I managed to grow out of the addiction and fulfil my career and enjoy a "social-life" without having to login to Habbo. I'm not knocking Habbo Hotel, as I still enjoy the community but without the additional needs of having to pay for extra services such as credits, habbo club etc. I understand that those additional services are not mandatory, however you see other users with nicely furnished rooms and you've started a chain reaction. The new user then buys a few credits, thinking that he/she won't require no more! and wala! he/she is addicted to the game, and Sulake's objective has been achieved, they've made a profit and they've made a mascot to continue the trend to other users. (monkey see, monkey do). The other point with the option of purchasing furniture, Habbo state that it's for the upkeep of servers, and local offices. However I'd just like reassure everyone that the profits they receive off users is well over the guided price for the upkeep of servers, but just for wealthy profits. I'm sure it wouldn't touch Sulake's profit if they just perhaps lowered the price of credits by 2%! It would make a large different for users, and no difference to Sulake's upkeep, except the slightly lower profits for they're personal gross profit.

    The same scenario applies to the future of ClubTropica's community, the only difference between "Habbo Hotel", and "ClubTropica" is that Habbo Hotel is well established in sixteen or more country's, and that Sulake have achieved they're objectives by far a mile, and can therefore invest in extra developments for forthcoming releases. I believe the revenue for Sulake is more than 4.5million and growing (I'm not exactly sure if it's 4.5 million, I believe it's higher!), even if Sulake was to take a drastic turn and go down hill that I highly doubt, they'd not need to worry as they've got the revenue to keep going! and that the interest from that revenue will grow and that'll cover the costs for the upkeep of Local Offices, Servers, Projects and Staff Wages and other Inventory on the outgoings they must pay for. Sulake at the moment in my eyes are perpetual, and therefore won't need to worry about other competitors. However, on the other hand ClubTropica's have just merely touched the markets service, and no-one knows the outcome of it's community. It may be well prosperous, but just to emphasise something! It's YOU the users who keep these community's going, personally having to pay for additional services IF ClubTropica introduces these premium services such as "credits" perhaps? then I feel it's just another money grabbing community, and that it's ClubTripica's concern to perhaps become a competitor of Sulake! again I can't see this happening as Sulake are reputable, and well established.

    It's sad to see that ClubTropica's are using Habbox Forums to advertise there new community, I believe it's rather like trespassing on Sulake's property in a metaphorical way. (even though Habbox isn't operated by Sulake) they're associated with Habbo Hotel as a third party site. Devious as it may seem, ClubTropica's objective is to partly advertise on multiply forums in order to gain publicity, anyone with decent knowledge can see that! It's a recruitment. Personally, I don't think it should be tolerated as any decent new MMORPG Community will gather they're potential members from other sources by freshly advertising, rather than just going to other associated MMORPG Sites, or Fansites in order to get that publicity.

    Last but not least, I have been informed by a source that ClubTropica has investors in to the "company", and that you already have "community offices", not only that but I've noticed they've even managed to gather x-sulake staff?. I kind that rather preposterous if it's true, but personally If I was a business man, or entrepreneur and presented with the idea of ClubTropica and doing research on the community and know little about the future of the community then I'd blatantly turn down the offer and invest in something that's more established. It's some ludicrous idea, and to acknowledge that you're going to open three weeks! .. All well, It's not really my duty to comment no more, but I sincerely hope you've done your market research. I can see this community eventually trying to replicate something that we already have, and that's Habbo!
