Would you like SNQ to be replaced?

I think if we had several weekly events from HxHD running in one week, it may be even more of a struggle to find hosts As people do truly find it daunting and I guess they moreso join HxHD for what it is rather than events. I do know other departments are looking into bringing their own weekly events too.

If only we had a department that could help and organise weekly events...

Events tries to push Weekly Events quite a bit and I know they're working on a few ATM

That's what it is Charlie. A lounge area for the old users and a place of help for newer users. It would be stupid to turn it into a lounge (or have two seperate rooms of a help desk and a lounge) when it's already used that way but has the added function of bringing people in. I will agree though that we do need more Habbo presence.

It needs to become a lounge for new AND old users though. I'm not saying let's scrap the Help Desk, I'm saying let's add to it because helping a user once every couple of hours isn't going to reel in the new members.

What entices brand new users into Habbox rooms? Fun, fast-paced games with good prizes and nice people.
What keeps them coming back? More of these games that are well planned and laid out over a long period of time rather than a manic week jam packed full of activities and then nothing for the other 51 weeks of the year.

There are other things that I'd like to add (for example yes, Habbox IS dying and we're letting it. And yes, we do need more Habbo presence. You know what would be a nice? A General Manager that comes on Habbo to do something else that sit in an event for 5 minutes and then idle, or come and doss about on the AFK chairs in HxHD) but TBBT is on like NOW so I'll talk about them later.

When Kellie and I were managers we discussed having some sort of run type thing running through the help desk, or a mini wired game on the side but the idea was kind of scrapped as we were worried about lag. Thinking back to the Hogwarts event and how much lag that room alone provided.

[Inseriousity.]

Oh I see what you meant now, sorry. Well, I agree with that but essentially, a lounge is just somewhere to sit and chill so the help desk can still do that. It would mean not ignoring new people, talking to them in a friendly and non-trollish way and gently persuading them to join Habbox. It doesn't work all the time but I think this sort of simple approach is much more effective than flashy events and whatever. Then again, HxHD is also fairly boring most of the time so I think adding a little game or something would be a good idea that's been done before (with fairly minimal interruption).

You should add an automatic game in the help desk, something such as Ping Pong. It won't actually take up much room and it'd bring in more people and give people a reason to stick around

I would just seriously worry that it'd just lag people out far too much.

I don't think it'd really give off that much lag, or at least i've never experienced any in a ping pong game

I don't remember any Hogwarts lag either, what room was that?

One thing I know is that lag from wired is mainly generated from moving items, ping pong will only have one moving item really

It was the Great Hall layout for HxHD, if I remember correctly quite a few users complained it was too laggy. I imagine the room would have to be quite big and quite a lot of furni! I mean, it's always worth a try though!
