    Yeah, .com came in about 2005, I think or maybe 2004.

    @virgin - A few years ago when Habbo was first made up until 05, I think, there was no such thing as Habbo.com - therefore when habbo.com (US) was made, users diverted to there and US lost some members, quite alot in this case, but is still hitting the 10k marks.

    Now I think of it, the first website URL was www.habbohotel.com, wasn't it? It only changed to .co.uk when Habbo US was introduced.
    Yeah .co.uk was first because I remember when .com came. I didn't understand how the change worked though. Did all the US players have to just register new accounts on .com even though that's where they'd already been?

    Probably if they wanted to as all their stuff was on UK hotel so I imagine most went to the US but we still have some USers on UK as they wanted to keep their stuff. The .com got a new server and the UK one was the older server.

    No - the old .com changed to .co.uk seeing as that was the main hotel and .com became a totally new site
