    Habbox are easily making over £100+ a month from their advertisements and there is at least one person buying donator each day which is £30+ a month.

    I think they can do fine without

    It could just be speculation. There's quite a few people that purchased Donator (myself included), and I'm sure the links they have for advertisements are making them some profit.

    BIG thank you to the graphics department for making this banner. I LOVE IT!

    From advertisements, my site makes a fair bit from google ads - and habbox is a much larger fansite.

    As for donator, more than 30 people have donator every day..

    That doesn't mean at least one person buys it every day? I know it certainly wasn't every day when I was GM. Even if there was one subscription of Donator bought every day that's only £45 made in a month which is barely much considering the high server costs Habboxwide.

    Bumped to hopefully get a reply from management with the main addition to the suggestion being you create some trendy new designs for our names. Much like Habbox God, I would pay extra for donator if it meant getting a nice name like that and I'm sure others would.

    Well we aren't going to make new subscriptions and put up the price if no one is actually going to buy it. In regards of new colours/design or whatever you want to call them then I suggest you keep an eye out, we may have something for Halloween and I know VIP that will be on sale at Christmas will have some sort of effect.

    Maybe you could make a poll saying "Would you pay x amount for Premium Donator?" and show one or two examples of the name fonts/colours that would be on offer. Just a few ideas off the top of my head could be a handwriting name, so basically a font of nice handwriting instead of the usual bold font. Another might be a rainbow effect for people that want a bright and colourful name. One that might be popular amongst the Habbo players would be a Habbo font in the traditional yellow. It just depends how creative you want to get and of course what is possible and what isn't.

    I'd be more inclined to buy that than normal donator tbh x]

    Well we did sort of. Usually we contact the charities first directly to tell them what we have been doing on the site in order to raise money for them which results in a personal thank you letter. Last year we didnt we just paid each charity via their website out of lazyness mainly but also because we had to make 2 separate payments per charity one for paypal and one for sms.

    So what we got in reply was something like this:

    Dear Jin,
    Thank you for your donation. We at blahblahblah really appreciate it and will use your contribution to build new unicycles from bicycles for our new unicycles from bicycles campaign.

    Here is some more marketing info which will hopefully make you donate on a monthly basis despite the fact that you have donated over £100 already in one go.

    Regards,

    John Smith
    Vice Deputy Chancellor in Chief of Charity Communications
    So we didn't bother showcasing it.

    It seems like a well recieved idea now but at some point in the future someone is going to argue that they should be priced the same as a different font or colour shouldnt double the price.
