Habbo Dice Limit

Dear Mr-Trainor

We’ve noticed that you run a popular game room. Games like Falling Furni, Costume Change, and Telephrase (plus many others) fill our navigator and bring pleasure to millions of players every month. Although most player-made games are harmless fun, some games unfortunately bring negative side effects.

For this reason we've decided to make a change to the Habbo Way to ensure we build the best possible online community for Teens.

Starting today, we’re adding a limit to the number of chance elements that can function in a room (e.g. Dicemasters, Wheel of Fortune, Fortune Tellers). Placing more than 3 chance elements will disable all randomizer functions in the room. You can continue using them as decorative elements as usual. If this causes you to now have more of these items than required, please check out our recycler, which will be running a custom refund program for the impacted items during the next four weeks.

The reason for doing this is the feedback we have received from our users. Rooms with a great number of chance elements in them are often linked to hacking, fraud and/or cheating, and are therefore harmful to the Habbo experience. We do not assume that this harm was intentionally caused to the community, but these negative effects simply come with the territory.

We continue to encourage you to create different kind of games for the enjoyment of other users (e.g. Mazes, Melting Mats and Falling Furni). However, from now on using randomizers with a possibility to place bets may result in trading passes being removed temporarily and repeat offenses will result in permanent removal of trading passes.

We're sure we can count on your support to explore the talent and creativity of the Habbo community in a different way.

I got it too and so did at least 4 other people in HxHD. I assume it was a mass message that was just badly worded.

Can confirm that removing trade passes is now available to moderators via in-game client moderation tools.

As for this, it's just another way for Habbo to control the economy by making sure players aren't making their fortunes from gambling, as well as keeping parents and 'officials' happy with no underage gambling.

what rubbish. casino owners dont 'make' their fortunes, they buy it illegally. any casino owner who says differently is a big fat liar. i suspect they did this for two reasons, to kill the black market (which is fueled by casino owners) and because of app age restrictions.

I predict coin shops & trade rooms will flourish once again. However, it will take a while for the economy to get over this stumbling block. Supply will decrease overtime, demand will increase. Everyone is panic selling their stuff which I think isn't the right move..

ugh, things like the grabber @lemons; reported are the reason i'm super worried, there will always be a way around finding random chance elements on the hotel, so when will the furni restrictions stop?

take away our dice, but taking away our fridges, scoreboards, wired, banzais will really put a crack on the foundation of habbo games.
