Builder Mode

[Shorty]

Subscriptions have always been a good way for companies to make money, it's just getting people to sign up and keep their subscriptions active which is the tricky part, check World of Warcraft for example, I don't play the game but I'm forever seeing their subscription figures drop within news blogs.

Habbo Club has always been popular among active playing Habbos due to the 'limited amount' of clothing/colours within normal range of changing looks, so Builders Club could become very successful if they get this right. Personally the idea of rooms being locked once a subscription expires is genius on their behalf, not so much for players though.

If players aren't actively changing the furniture within their rooms, then I doubt a subscription would be worthwhile. For example, designing a room and keeping it like that for a couple of months, you could save money by buying the furniture in the first place.

Think this is possibly the longest post I've ever made on Habbox, weird.

Very interesting. So the user retains all their room designs but no-one can get in? What about using teleports to it, wouldn't work?

It seems Sulake are banking on the likelihood of new users to design rooms, then get locked into keeping them via subscription - instead of buying credits sporadically as before. Seems they're looking to make gains in bankable income, like regular HC payments, this all makes the balance books look better to investors and partners, will be interesting to see if it works long term. I'd guess normal furniture will still be sought after as it still holds full ownership and transferability exclusively, this system will be best used in competitions etc, probably came about after the first Room Builders Inc feedback huh?

That's why I asked if you can put ordinary furniture into these rooms as well, because if teleports aren't sold in the builders catalogue, and you can't put in normal furniture, then you can never use teleports to get in all the time.

I wonder how the Super Saver Subscription is going & if many are subscribed to it - they've kinda forgotten about that!

It takes 99 credits to buy a bundle. It gives you the "finishing touch" for building your rooms with the BC!

Aside from showing off your access to the sandbox hotel what are you trying to say in this post?

When I heard about the rooms being locked after the subscription ends, I assumed the furni was frozen, meaning they could not be moved, but users could still gain access to room.

I don't even know if it's just locked to the the public or locked to the owner of the room too

well its obv gonna be locked to every1 including the owner

they arent going to let u continue to enjoy the room which u built with the privilege of room builder when u no longer have a room builder subscription. if they did u could build a load of rooms with the unlimited furni in the 1st month and never subscribe again but have loads of ready made rooms

I guess you're right but also it's kind of not much use when only you can see it... I guess with my rooms now i'm the only ones that see it anyway lol
