Habbo caught up in child sex scandal / Habbo Mute

Looks like .com will be unmuted next week, at the earliest.

He'll tell us tomorrow which hotels will be unmuted next. We already know it won't be .com; we're last and won't be unmuted until the Guardian system is ready, which he already said yesterday will be a few weeks. He hinted heavily on Monday that France would reopen soon, I think they will be one of the hotels named tomorrow.

Lets me honest most of us have found better stuff to do while its been muted, the only people going back is the freaks that care about furni that isnt worth anything. Im glad that the mute has made me pull away from the net.

I don't think that's fair and I find it insulting that you refer to players who have spent good many on a game as freaks, just because they care about the investment (not just money, time aswell ) that they have made. For most of us Habbo is simply a place to relax after a busy day, playing games and chatting to friends. Yes, in a way it is good that the mute has given people time to reflect on how much time they spend on the site, but it's also not unreasonable to expect that most players will return to the site, whether it be because of furni or friends or just because they enjoy playing the game.

What you "own" on Habbo isnt yours. You have payed you use a virtual item that will never belong to you, if it gets taken you wont ever get it back, If Habbo was to close and i dont see it lasting another 10 years well yeah.. haha

But I would imagine within the next ten years I will have left the game anyway. And I don't think the current issues will cause the site to close, not considering the turnover Sulake made last year from Habbo. I'm just going to leave it at that because in all honestly I find the way you compose your posts to be quite insulting; it's not funny that people have spent good money on a game only for it to close (which as I said I don't think will happen for some time yet anyway, if at all).

I'm glad the mute has made you realise you need to step away from the game, but at the same time, it's finding a balance between real life and the net which is most important, a balance which I learnt long ago. For me, playing on Habbo for too long isn't an issue; I'm not logged on everyday and I don't spend too much time on the hotel anyway. it's just something that's there which I can choose to play if I'm bored and I think that's probably how most people look at it. It's no different to a console game such as COD or Pokemon; the key is finding a balance between playing the game and living a life.

How many more hotels are left to be unmuted?
