HabboxLive Suggestions

[The Don]

But then again, whats Habbox's main feature nowdays, first it was Rare Values. When MP came that went out the window, then i personally would say the radio, now thats pretty dead. Personally not going to lie i'd totally scrap the radio staff, re-hire and get babyg to be acting manager untill someone with determination and someone who knows how to manage a radio comes in.

I disagree with removing all radio staff as there are some decent djs there. For example, I was surprised by how good Lamars show was the other day.

Awesome thread, totally agree with all of it. Well done!

Even though I do hate many many elements of th, one thing they're good at is constantly have something going on to push both their site and radio, like at the moment they have a prom and 24 hour events, then after that they will go straight to something else. Takes a lot of hard work.

This is because we have a little routine where the AU will do something this week, then the USA team do something, then the next month its UK and then Au ect ect.

Habbox doesnt have a big enough team in the intl to do this, which is why Hxl needs to get a large intl sector.

[Inspiration]

To add to the above. Dez has also put each Department against eachother which really motivates the teams to do well and also increases staff communication and interactivity across every department which in turn increases the listeners which in turn increases DJ confidence & DJ moral which in turn makes them eager to DJ more.

I'll just paste what I put in the staff forum:

Ah I miss the days of DJ Xoim etc


I just think that (some of) our DJs just don't sound professional. I just tuned into ThisHabbo and I'm not gonna lie- it was great. I could have mistaken the DJ for a professional DJ at a big radio station. He played 'different' songs and rather than just going 'ok that was song x next is song y' *plays song y* 'ok that was song y next is song z, invite pls' etc he actually talked to the listener like a professional DJ would do.

I think that's the difference. If I want to just hear chart songs in one continuous stream I'd put my iTunes on. The only thing that will make people tune into Habbox over real radio stations or iTunes is if the shows become more interesting rather than just song after song after song....

Also, when I just tried to load the habbox page it took like 3-4minutes whereas thishabbo was instant. If I was a new member I'd be put off.

Sorry if I sound really critical of hxl or whatever I'm just trying to help- I miss the old days




EDIT: Also hxl seems to play for a bit... then stop for like a minute... then start again etc. Its kinda off putting. New members would instantly be put off, advertising and doing events and stuff just seems pointless to be honest if when we actually get someone to try habboxlive out its just broken?

I agree. The reason the radio is stopping for you is because you can't keep up the with stream or the stream can't keep up with you. If you can tune into other stations fine it's habboxs servers being slow. The servers have been like this for some time and management are aware of it. I know Jin is a busy man but if something isn't done before he needs to head to work over the summer I'm not sure if habbox will survive. The user base as it is has dropped dramatically, if the forum is going down most days during the summer I can see people just leaving.


When I complain about the servers I guess I suppose I forget it's a free service but i'd imagine management want to keep active numbers to keep the forum popular and for bigger reasons like revenue. So although I'm always blunt when complaining I do appreciate what is being done.

I get this too but only on HxL, particularly some DJs during peak times, it jumps for me. Yeh I do agree, some server issues need resolving asap, otherwise people will just get fed up and not stick by.
