Habbox Hub

[Zelda]

The 8 year old noobs with no interest in Habbox, I agree, would be very annoying. But they're getting the room popular, that's the key thing, putting the name forward so people who would be interested could see it.

Habbox is meant to be for everyone, we can't just pick and choose who we want to use the site.

the problem there though is that there is only a maximum of 50 for the room, first you needa consider that people who already want to use the help desk atm will be in there, and then how popular rooms like these beaches can be. If you are attracting all these 8 year old noobs to make the room popular, you aren't leaving much room for many other people to actually come in to be attracted towards Habbox, while if we target the room towards those people in the first place we will be allowing for many more people in the room who would become attracted towards Habbox.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. I can hardly see how having a room that it too popular could be an issue in this circumstance. What we have to be aware of is the fact that these "8 year old noobs" are the next generation of people who will eventually use habbox.

The thing is though they are the only people beaches and bars will attract etc, no matter how popular the room is why would anyone go into it if there is nothing in there to interest them?

+ not necessarily tbh, as yes you stereotype them as 8 year old noobs, but infact a lot of people over different ages are zeds, and most of them never change from it really as they grow up, yes some possibly will but why not target people with immediate effect and who are much more likely to want to join habbox?

Not to mention that rooms that target people who will likely join will probably be far easier to populate compared to like a beach as they have very massive competition

I think it's necessary even if we have to have that sort of crowd around. Worst case scenario is that we've gone from a help desk filled with noone to a hub filled with noobs. At least the name is out there.

edit; regarding the room, its not meant to be specific to anything. My idea was that it would have a little bit of everything, where you can spend your time. Plus, it's not like Habbox haven't tried targeting people who want to join.

I think the whole idea of the room being used for different things aswell, maybe half help desk and half for like events that the Habbox Community usually runs like the Saturday Night Quiz, The Lottery, Even once in a while normal events and like the sleepover/longest in the box type thing.

I personally hate this idea and don't really fancy spending my time in that style of room such as the habbo beach or habbo adoption full of 10 year olds. If you want a habbox hub fine, but I don't want the help desk to be shoved in with that.

I think there should be a big room and there should be entertainment and interest for the whole hotel. This will bring new members to the habbox community. The room could contain a booster and maybe a grabber and the help desk which would attract users. Don't blame me if this ideas terrible I'm so tired

I partly agree with you, HxHD is just attracting current Habbox members and the staff are increasingly there just to moderate rather than help - purely because there's not that many people who need help. I love the idea of a Habbox Hub however maybe have one or two of your suggested ideas as if there is a mass amount going on in the room it will get laggy and hard to moderate (if someone at one end of the room isn't shouting - pressing shift - Help Desk staff won't see what they're saying). Maybe have a Battle Banzai or something along those lines, quest help including the staff being able to assist as well as teleports linking all the other Habbox rooms etc.
In all fairness, this could only boost the Habbox community so I don't see why this idea isn't put into effect sooner rather than later.

I don't think either of those things were suggested lol, it's just having something going on in HxHD rather than having it neglected with the odd new person coming in asking how to get a trading pass while older members just chat every so often.
I think even having a few teleports and bringing back the BB game would do some good. I remember Danube made a HxHD Layout (although hated) he put the helpdesk area in the middle of the room in stead of shifting it to a corner or wall, this would be ideal for moderating said game, event, start of a maze whatever.

Indeedy. I'm not sure if people picked up on this, but in the original post, the things that could go in the room were only ideas, and I wasn't saying put them ALL in there. One or two just to keep the room popular as the main habbox centre.

The teleports and more rooms is actually an important thing. Habbox need rooms like those Habbo Gym's that make you better at skating, riding and what not. They're always popular, connect that to the Hub with a tele, people will venture in.

The Hub was just an idea to centralise Habbox activity on Habbo really, whilst also reinventing the help desk for the more modern generation of Habbo users.

crap idea and puts the currently active people off the help desk.
