Habbo closes .dk .no .se hotels - but NO sign of merge

[MKR&*42]

Not surprised. Those hotels have been dead for a long time
--
Wonder if they'll close anymore.

Habbo.fi isn't fairly popular anymore (I actually can't find the user numbers on the website I had to go onto the client and judge on naviagtor) based on how many people seem to be current in the hotel.
Habbo.it has 500 or so in the hotel right now as well.

I don't think this will be the last closures they do

Sad news for users of those hotels. At least the .com hotel isn't really at any risk.

I think in some respects it shows one of two things, Sulake is making funding cuts because the hotels weren't as popular and closing them or they're possibly bringing in something new.

As in total user base or active user base?

As in users online at the moment of posting.

Not really off topic...

And it definitely won't be the last hotel(s) to close...

Pretty disgraceful they closed without warning and refuse to merge when they're clearly able to. I suppose they don't want to disturb .com rare values in the risk of pissing people off enough to quit.

The game is on the way out, thats for sure.

Shame that they are not willing to move accounts to .com or something, feel sorry for the people who spent money on there.

As a Habbo that have spent almost 10 years on the Swedish hotel, this feels very sad. We users (especially we in the Habbo Guide team) have been trying to convince our staffs that they need to start advertise (which was the reason why Habbo was so popular before) and take more effort in dealting with the huge retros that are taking away Habbo's users. But everytime this has happened, our staffs have in advance replied that there were no budget allowed for advertisments from the head office. This showed quite clear that they were up to something.

However most of us knew the Swedish hotel would be closed, we thought our hotels would be merged with the other Scandinavian countries, since our languages are mutually intelligible with each other and the staffs wished for having a joint SE/DK/NO-hotel. NOW that this isn't happening, I think most people are quite angry. I find it a bit unfair how the Russian hotel who always was a small hotel was able to get some compensation while we Scandinavians don't get anything. Something tells me this just will be the beginning of a new time for Habbo.
