Do you think habbo will ever shut down?

[Calvin]

Of course they're going to shut down. I really think they may shut within a few years because people will eventually leave it due to the updates etc. and either move onto another virtual world like Bebo did.

Once they do i'm going back to runescape.

Yer i might do this too, i played it for a few months but found habbo, runescape is a bit laggy for me though, still will go back soon

[AgnesIO]

Around the time of 2015 I suppose?

No. Way. Enough said.

I think it will Everybody hates the new Beta version of Habbo. we really want the old habbo to come back.

That won't make it close. Clearly you don't all hate it that much OR YOU WOULDN'T STILL BE PLAYING IT

Habbo probably won't close for years and years to come. It will continue to evolve. Virtual worlds still have a huge place in this world, however when consoles take a larger slice of the virtual world section (with multiplayer becoming so big etc), Habbo will lose some of its share in the market. It won't just close though - it would probably get sold. Look at Bebo - absolutely shocking, lost HUGE amounts of its power in social networking - they didn't jut put up a notice and close it though.

By the time they do, I would be worried if you went back to RS

Lool Runescape is a good game but I just cant be bothered with it, and Habbo will never close as the make money from our dislike. We don't like the new Beta but we still play it because we enjoy it.

Well by 2015, Habbo will obviously have changed massively I suspect.

We need to remember 2015 is only four years away.

Habbo in 2007 isn't that different to what it is now - more clothes now, more furniture and a different 'look' to the client.

But essentially it is a very similar game to what is was in 2007

With Sulake playing the way they are playing now, who knows what Habbo will turn out like

[Conservative,]

Habbo won't close for a long time. 2010 was Sulake's most profitable year yet, so I don't think it's doing too badly despite what people who use fansites say.

The thing is, people who use fansites are normally bored of habbo and so use fansites to try and find new things to do etc. and they can moan about habbo, thus creating a feeling that it's becoming unpopular, however when you look at it...how many people use fansites on a regular basis...? 1,000? If that? And daily there is 100,000+ habbos online...so basically 1% of habbos use fansites where people moan about how bad it's become. The other 99% don't really care and just take it in their stride.

Well I'm sure that it will one day, but I don't think it'll be any time soon!

I agree with this, it's obvious that not everyone hates it as it's doing quite well and lots of people are still on it. But i do think it will shut down some day
