Christmas VIP

[Alkaz]

That's a shame - I guess with the whole .com hotel crap you cannot even risk it - otherwise you won't even be allowed to advertise habbox!

Would you be allowed to OFFER people to donate to habbox, rather than the charity?

We do offer that option and in return we are allowed to give people the donor features. It to is against the fansite rules to falsely offer VIP features in return for money.

[Mrs.McCall]

Will there be Christmas Donator?

Will there be Christmas Donator?

Hopefully there will be Christmas VIP as there has been for the past four years.

[Mrs.McCall]

Oh I just meant because Habbox aren't allowed to sell VIP but I really like the Christmas Colour.

[Alkaz]

We're allowed to sell VIP as long as ALL the proceeds from that month are donated to charity. The original was idea was to charge more for it and take a proportion of that for ourselves which we're not allowed to do.

Hopefully they get rid of the hideous line at the top this year

I think different colours Haha joking - I get it to see who repped, coloured name, name changes

[Mrs.McCall]

Ohhhh I get ya now. Well, I guess if it goes to charity that's good. Stupid rule though, bloomin' Habbo.

Someone posted a comment from a Habbo Staff member that banning VIP wasn't the intention...perhaps Matt could send out some feelers to Sulake?

I've sent an email to a member of Sulake Staff and see if they can shed any information or pass us into the right directions, contact details aren't that too great at the moment.

Yes. That was me. If anyone is curious by what he means:

I believe the premium services rule was created because some non-English speaking fansites were covering their costs by selling Habbo merchandise they created themselves (t-shirts with Habbo graphics on for instance) and that was a clear copyright violation. It could be that they're perhaps implemented the rule stricter than intended and I'll ask if it's possible to revisit that.
