what actually killed the hc

[Jacob]

People like me would put them in rooms to sell but now we've got marketplace so it's even better, next thing that happens... oh they've declined. They are quick to sell though even at their low price.

I think the market place. As well as Hc's looking dreadful. Just remember back to when thrones were a mere 20hc, now I've just sold 61hc for only 96c :\

[Macey]

I was very disappointed when I came back and all my hc sofas I had collected over the years have lost value, bring back the old days now!

[Gina]

HC's became more and more unpopular and no one would buy them. Then the market place was made and the only way to sell it was get a lower price then the current HC was in the market place otherwise it couldnt be seen, after that people followed the market place prices, and it just got lower and lower.

One word:

Marketplace.

It all links back to the MP anyways.

Credits/Coins became the main currency because the Marketplace was so popular, so the former currency which was the HC started to loose value rapidly. So demand decreased and because there was such a large amount of HC sofas on the hotel the price just fell alot.

It's happening now with other items previously seen as currency like the Throne. Sad really but thats what the MP did, driving all prices down and it killed the trading community. Now all we have is a catalog with every item in it that keeps getting cheaper and cheaper.

In my opinion i mainly think it was started over the new clothes and the competitions they had because ever since they put the new vip clothes and some for hc, they made V.I.P and decided to put new furni in. As said by "habbo staff" in one of there articles way back in the start of 2010 they did say that the "old" hc furni were "taking a break" and they will be back soon (i think) And i doubt they will never return

Ah, but then I assume you are not an old player.

Habbo released TONS of new rares years ago (v9/v11 - can't remember what one!). They had loads of recolours - but the HC value didn't change. It had always been seen as a currency before that dreadful market place came in.

People forget that, something ISN'T currency if it cannot be spent as currency. And since Market Place only allows you to use credits, it therefore eliminated the HC sofa (or the Club Sofa) as a currency.

Yes i am not an old player. I started playing back in 2009 so 2 years this year when they were devolving the "beta" for habbo (which back then it was v26)

Thats how i assumed
