The Habbo Recession

[-:Undertaker:-]

Tbh, I think Habbox was apart of this. They could have kept the HC sofa at the 13 credit price. But this is only a small part.

Habbox will not keep a rare at a price when there is more evidence suggesting the rare is going for a different price than it is valued at on Habbox. (H)

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.

Value of the entire market 2001 - present

lolol u made a graph? that's a pro rare value manager for u there.

I agree there isnt a recession yet, but I think from the graph there will be a big crash sooner or later.

Wow.....I just noticed...thanks

I also agree with -:undertaker:- that this is a "Booming" period.

The HC Sofa just isn't worth as much anymore in my eyes, and Habbox change the value if like one trade happens above the Habbox value, meh I use marketplace now anyway.

Habbo can't go into a "recession" or a "depression" in the truest sense because it isn't a real life situation, you can't become unemployed, companies can't collapse and you can't go into debt. So really this whole thread is irrelevant, all it is is that Habbo prices fluctuate.

But it certainly can feel the effects of a recession.

Personally I was a little disgusted at how they changed the prices of this online commodity. At the end of the day Sulake's running costs would be the same, I have noticed the lack of "double credit" promos recently and considering credits are free for them I dont see why it cant be 30 or 35 instead of 25.

Come off it.

HABBOX IS A ******* GUIDE HOW STUPID DO YOU NEED TO BE TO UNDERSTAND THAT?? WE GO BY WHAT HABBO'S ARE TRADING AT. Woah caps . Go and blame sopmeone else for once and stop using habbox as a backrest. It's not our fault traders are so god damn stupid.

And mod's.. before I get infracted, I, at6 no point, indicated he was an idiot. Just users in general that seem to think Habbox makes the values, then everyone follows.

Please don't use caps . Anyway I know Habbox is a guide but a lot of really dumb people on Habbo don't think its that, and its like the law or something.

They couldn't keep it at 13 credits in people weren't buying it at that price. As Demala said it is just a guide for what people are buying it for.

Yeah true .

Habbox will not keep a rare at a price when there is more evidence suggesting the rare is going for a different price than it is valued at on Habbox. (H)

As I said above .

Indeed but nowhere near as much as other industries. Habbos userbase is teenagers who have tend to have a disposable income whatever happens. The only danger would be is if both their parents could no longer afford to give them pocket money which is only going to be in a minority of cases.

Remember you don't know the credit trends, Sulake do. For example, more Users may now be joining Habbo but less buying credits. This would drive Sulakes server costs up to support the new inflow of Habbos and it would require more support staff and event staff to manage them all and keep them happy, despite the fact that credit sales were falling. So they would then be forced to adjust credit prices to keep the balance of payments in a similar region.

At the end of the day Sulake are a buisiness, they are in it to make money. If they see an area where they can make money then fair play to them, they should go for it!

I'd disagree with you because most Habbo's own a basic 100creds - 10HC which is a fair amount. There are alot more rich people now than there was back in the days. I think 2010 is set to set credit prices soring and the hc and rares go down in value making new habbo's easier of getting rich through credits.
