Would you rather?

Yeah, names are quite good atm, because at least they help the fact that you dont have hc.

Got called a noob just cos i didnt have hc, when i was saving up for it anyway lol.

I would prefer badges lol, I like my ones i had on my old account, i had the 2 habwrecked ones seeing as your accounts are linked together, surely they should allow you to have all badges on any account. Seeing as its you with those accounts. Shame ;[

[matt$]

i've got an account with 100% etcetc but its got a **** name so ill stick with fapin

I think an account with a good name is among the most popular nowadays. Old accounts don't mean much to people, except for the badges associated with such. And on the topic of badges, you can get badges for practically anything these days, so they don't say much.

In earlier versions of Habbo, there were very few badges other than the HC badge. And if you held such a badge, you had a lot of respect and were looked up to by a lot of people.

Therefore, names seem to be the most popular pick, regardless of how long the account has been around, or what badges it has.

I like my name Habbo.... but I also love the fact I have so many badges (not as many as others but still) If my badges were to be on another decent name account like my other account 'Mourge' I would be in heaven!

[Nuxty]

I'd go for name cos when I was MC223 I felt like a right idiot So I decided to go back to Nuxty as I think your name says it all really!

[karter]

My account kartikeya has a lot of badges plus its two year old but everyone now knows me on Kromium , so i better stick with that

[Wixle]

I prefer names. I respect people a lot more when I see a nice original name. I know you shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but its just how it is.

I have an account Tyler92 that i made in like 2002 on UK, but left if behind when .com.au opened, and I could never imagine going back to that account after the merge just because of the 92. Haha, but then again.. I'm also not really a big fan badges, I don't find myself ever wearing them.

Badges are more important. Why would you want to be called a random name like "Stick", "Car", "Tissue" etc Just have a name that you are happy with. The idea of having an account name that means something such as an item or word came from a long time ago when geeks thought it made them 1337 (leet). It's just hideous, do you really want to be called a name like that? No, most likely not. The reason people have them names is to impress others, it also makes them feel more important/intelligent/not a noob. If Habbo wasn't as embarrassing and you told your mate about it, when they ask what your username is and you say something like "Photocopy" they're just going to look at you and think "wtf". I really don't get all this "who has the rarer name" malarky. So yeh, badges are more important to me. Not that I play anymore.
