Lack of events?

[Mr-Trainor]

hfest tournament is fun i recommend you all attend

it's like hxss but with less rigging

o/t i don't know why but whenever i go to a habbox event i only see regular habbox people

go to a hffm/thishabbo etc event then you see a variety of people from a variety of fansites because they have more fun events and seem more motivated to host the events and there needs to be more events staff!!

Maybe because you know who 'Habbox people' are but you don't know who the hffm/thishabbo people are ?
Not saying I disagree with what you've said, but just a thought. Idk which fansite you use more.

the vast majority of people at habbox events are either staff or regulars in the helpdesk/active on the forum and i definitely know this

even if i don't know anyone at th/hffm etc it's still clear who works with them and who is just visiting

they seem to have a larger community because they're more 'noob' friendly and imo if I was a newbie I wouldn't feel welcome at habbox events

Always been a problem, and it's because people go there just to talk to their friends (hosts included) rather than take their roles seriously... then we get told that staff need MORE "staff bonding" as though they aren't already cliquey enough in the way they exclude non-Hx players. I think variety is a swear word in events

i always feel quite intimidated nowadays in habbox events, i find i get ignored if i say stuff because not many people know who i am. dno might just be me tho lol :S

I agree an event with like 15 people and 10 of them are in one of the habbox cliques it can very intimidating

Maybe start by outright banning any form of pathetic event for a few weeks - pod racing/don't hit my wall, don't roll a 6, 5 4 3 2 1, don't get a carrot, fridge game, mocha/fridge races (unless you're gonna add some obstacles to make it a bit harder) ETCETERA ETCETERA and actually get staff to try and host a remotely difficult event (I know that word must be whispered in fear around these parts of fansites I do forgive). I wouldn't say make it a permanent thing as there are people who enjoy such events, but the extent to which they're hosted today is ridiculous.

Increase minimum. It's either 2 or 3 at the moment which isn't good tbh - I know it's voluntary work on a site and every little bit counts, but staff should be expected to do at least 5 events a week if I'm gonna be honest. It's not directly 5 hours as we can remove 10 minutes for room getting full, and 10 minutes if you want to finish early = 40 minutes = 200 minutes a week = just over 3 bleeding hours.

Go around to random small event rooms, adding the owner and asking if they'd be interesting in hosting for a fansite. I don't know if managers do this, but they really should and should encourage all other staff members to go round and do the same thing. Damn the only reason I only ever joined a fansite in the first place was because someone did that^ might actually be beneficial and a boost to the Habbox events team

Have a group room where you can host wired events. Just get EOs to drop spare wired pieces they know they won't need soon into a giant group room and they can experiment by seeing what events they can come up with. I'm surprised there are so few wired-based events now considering the huge possibilities that are available with wired furniture. Better yet get some actual tutorials for how to create certain wired games in the events staff forum.

I agree so much with what everyone else has said about Habbox staff groups in events and I did complain about it before when I was in events as it's utterly ridiculous. I don't think there's a lot you can do to drive it away, but I only ever see Smurfed- actually communicating with non staff and attempting to build rapport because he probably knows how poor his staff are at doing it. I'm not even sure how you can encourage staff into doing it because they should all know how much it sucks when nobody knows who you are and you're just there all shy.

I legit don't know what else to say as I feel I'd just be reiterating 2 years of stuff.

Oh and host more trivia as it's like the most popular Habbo event I swear down.

@Inseriousity.; i hope that wasn't sarcastic rep

[Inseriousity.]

No, not sarcastic, I just have a personal dislike of threads pointing out problems and not saying what they would do to fix it, especially as I know from past experience that you're not exactly lacking in them. I don't agree with it all; the trivia games I've been to have never been popular, just the same people typing gmpt, stb and all the other silly anagrams and I'm not sure how banning events will somehow increase them (the thread title being 'lack of events') but at least the managers now have some ideas to work with.

I agree with everything you said Hayden

It really isn't difficult to work out answers though, and I don't play habbo.

What are HFFM doing that Habbox are not? What are their staff numbers like? Do they have any well known room designers on board? What sort of events are they hosting? How are they promoting their events? The fact is, they are evidently doing something that Habbox is not, and it is the job of the Events Management and other staff to work out what this is.

Oh that's what I forgot to mention. I was going to bring up how people need to check out other fansite events in a while and see how they're better than their own, take notes and build from it etc.
