V8 Article
Hello everyone. As you know its V8 and everyone is happy trying out new things. Although habbo hasn't been quiet fair to the non-hc's P) I think these new things are extremely brilliant! As i was waiting for habbo to finish the Mantiance and everything I was shaking with excitement. And then suddenly, it all started "V8!" I felt like celebrating. Then what'ya know, I clicked on my HC Icon and then "" I thought.
"I hope my habbo hasn't been scripted" But no! It was true you could know buy 6 months! As i went into my room as happy as a rabbit, I saw that my cousin was in my room dancing. "DONT TELL ME YOU SCRIPTED ISWELL" I frowned. But no, i had it too! HC's had alot of parts in V8. Such brilliant dances as "The Rollie, The Hap-hop, The pogo mogo and more" And HC's had also got a Public room all to them selfs what a day!
While the HC's celabrate, I found a few more surprises. HC's were aloud to have 500 friends in there list while the non-hc's only got 100! But don't worry Non-hc's werent left with nothing! While everyone got the tv's, and the purse with "Game tickets and Camera films!
I think that one of the best is getting 6 month of HC. Even though you have to use alot of credits, it saves you time for getting it the other month! Also when you hate accepting F/r's, using the "Reject all" Button you can delete them all! Battle ball is also wicked! Challenging habbo's is a fun thing!

Version 8 of habbo has now been realesed, it has some amazing features, which some people may agree or disagree to. Some of the amazing new features are the new habbo dances, the purse updates and the fact that you can now buy habbo lcub in chunks of 3 or 6!

The new habbo club rooms include The Majestic and The House Of Flying Carrots, of course these are only available to HC's which isn't good for non-hc's but im sure something will be in store for you!

These new features are all fabulous to me, which they may not be to some of you, but remember, do not waste your money on habbo club just for the features, its a game, play it, dont live it

and hav a good time on habbo, luv famous-girl

For all you who don’t know, V8 stands for version eight, meaning habbo have released a load of new updates at the same time and called it a “release.” This happens to be the eighth “release,” hence habbo version 8. I’m sure an orang-utan could explain that better, but hey! Anyway, some of the more noticeable updates are the updated sign up and “change habbo ID” screens, with new look arrows and pictures. There is also a new look “update HC” page, as well as new options to pre-buy HC in bundles of 1,3 or 6 months for reduced prices. They have also done this with the diving tickets, a nice little addition for anyone with credits.
As well as these, 2 new categories have been added to the navigator. One of these is the “Habbo Club” category, which contains the rooms: The Majestic and The House Of Flying Carrots. Dionysus has been playing around with room names again, as on habbo Sweden (where V8 was first released), they were originally named “Club Mammoth” and “Club Orient,” which sound more like a hotel manager has made them up. But the most noticeable and popular of these is the “Battleball” section. This is a brand new game of Sulake’s own invention, involving teenagers’ pixels hopping about on kangaroo hoppers colouring squares (much like a jazzed up version of a level on the PS1 game “Crash Bash.”).
Not to mention, of course, the new dances: the rollie(which (looks like break dancing without all the falling over), the pogo mogo(which makes you look like your playing battleball without the space hopper) and duck funk (a jazzed up version of the roller).
So, good or bad? Should habbo have tinkered around with it’s genetic make up so much that the non-hcs feel left out? Or has all the Hcs complaining actually made habbo listen and give more features? Only time will tell.

"The Version That Would Be King"
by Futurama
The Habbo Press

The year was 2005. Most of us were not even born, yet a new version like none other was sweeping the Habbo Nation. It revolutionized Habbo like no version before it. Can you imagine Habbo without the Pogo-Mogo, Hab-Hop, Rollie, or Duck Funk? Well, this version gave it to us. It paved the way for a new era of habbo pay-to-play gaming, still going strong with the release of version 21. So what is this very influential version that is mostly forgotten by the general public?

I did some research and discovered facts about version 8. It was released after what is now known as the "Hack Age." During version 7, highly esteemed habbos of the day were getting hacked left and right. In response, Sulake installed a patch to prevent hacking in the UK, under the leadership of Hotel Manager Callie.

Shortly after the patch, version 8 was released. This version was highly controversial and definitively separated HC from non-HC. It gave HC three new dances: the Pogo-Mogo, the Rollie, and the Duck Funk. It gave HC two new clubs, then called the Majestic and the House of Flying Carrots. Before version 8, you could only scroll forwards in your hand. Imagine that! It allowed you to reject all friend requests in one easy click. Buying HC in bulk was cheaper than before. No more guessing games! You could now tell how many tickets and film you have by checking your purse, and you could positively know your totaled months as HC. There were also some furni changes, such as the now annoying battleball channel on digital tvs.

Many of the conveniences we take for granted now in the year 2055 came from 2005 and version 8. Let's be thankful for advancement in technology!

The lop-sided upgrade

Practically everyone now knows that the long awaited Version 8 of Habbo Hotel UK has arrived and practically everyone knows what the new features are, which is why Version 8 is probably the most controversial version yet!

So, the new features are two brand new rooms for Habbo Club members only, 3 new dances for Habbo Club members only and Habbo Club status bars, obviously only used by Habbo Club members.

Notice a pattern? There are other small updates also such as the ticket and film notifications which allow you to easily find out how many gaming tickets or camara film you have remaining by clicking your purse. There are also nifty queues for public rooms which stop the annoying 'Room is full' message popping up.

That's not all though. The biggest update that caused a stir was the limit to friends on your console! Only 100 for poor non-HCs but only 500 for HCs themselves! This caused a lot of anger from both sets of Habbos as thousands of Habbos had to remove hundreds if not thousands of friends.

So as you can tell, this version was based mainly for Habbo Club members, and obviously Sulake are trying to boost profits by pushing more Habbos to buy Habbo Club with more now avaliable to them.

Well, out of this, I feel that Version 8 has been very unfair on non-HCs and may have come a bit too fast, a few version 7 rares are yet to be released!

Thanks for reading.

Habbo v8

There are some good features of habbo v8 and some bad features. alot of it has to do with our hotel manager callie. she is a good person and has done alot for the hotel since the great days of jibbi (my idol).

Some of the good changes of habbo since v8 are some of the new dances unfortunatly they are only for HC people and i feel that habbo is becoming a hotel of the HC where without HC you are limited to what you can do. I myself have never been hc not because i never wanted to buy credits but because i cant. i live in canada where the price for credits are double what it is in the UK. and as for getting my mom to mail them a cheque for $20 i dont stand much of a chance even if it was my own money.

Also i like some of the new furniture and games. Battle Ball seems like a popular game (very profitable for habbo) and not very hard to get someone to buy you a few tickets as long as you take a dive and let their team win so that they move up to a new rank/ level. Also the reject all buton its a great button where when people are harrassing you with with f/r you can reject them every time with the click of one button. The Hand options have also been improved, now when you are trying to get something out of ur hand for trade and you are moving threw the same furniture endlessly until you get to what you are looking for and dont click the exact part and the hand closes they have given you a few buttons which take a while to get use to but they are very effective for there purpose. A negative thing about this new update is the 100 people limit for non HC people. This effects a majority of people such as me who has been around for almost 4 years and has had over the limit by a great number before the update.

Also when buying HC (which i dont have credits to do) you can buy 6 months or less for a bargining price which ends up saving you alot of credits and money in the long run.

In conclusion i think that habbo has made alot of good improvements with the new v8. Although it now seems habbo was made for HC people only with the specail HC rooms and dances and extra space for friends . It is what sulake and habbo have chosen to do to make habbo more profitable by presuring people into buying credits so that they to can enjoy the new feature of habbo. It just goes to show what a few extra $'s can do for a person.

[Emicat]

HC...
For HC's, they get four new dances and their own public rooms. Great! At least in there will be no n00bs saying "PLZ BUY ME CREDS!!!!1!" and actual conversations can be had. Yet, literally throwing money away for a few pretty pictures seems a tad stupid. I mean, what if you get into trouble and need to call home, and you have no money on your phone, but on your habbo account? So who really are the wise ones?

...NON-HC
Nothing new for us. The people who do not want to throw our money away and do NOT beg for credits. What do we get? Nothing.
Its just another addiction for those who pay to get into "HC ROOMS-SHOW UR BADGES". Those people who play habbo for fun, not furni, do not deserve anything nice. Sure, we get creds for christmas and for Funky Friday. How long will it take to save up to buy a rare or HC? Quite a while.

I think habbo would would be better off with HC, at least we can all enjoy the new features.

VERSION 8 WOES
The latest release of Habbo, version 8, came to UK as a sneaky surprise, which Habbos have reacted inh such positive and negative ways. This caused much controversy, and many Habbos have critisised it as "Habbo Club 2". However, there are features that all Habbos can benefit and have use to it. In the following, I will outline the good and bad features to this release.

GOOD FEATURES:
- Benefits for Habbo Club Members
-> 3 new dances - The Rollie, Duck Funk and Pogo Mogo plus the original
Hab-Hop.
-> 2 exclusive HC public rooms - The Majestic and The House of Flying
Carrots.
-> HC window information box updated.

- Benefits for all Habbos
-> A 'Reject All' button so you reject all friend requests in one go.
-> Purse shows how many tickets and film you have.
-> Forward and backward buttons added to the hand to scroll through your
furniture with an added close button.
-> Queuing system added to line up in full public rooms. HC's and NON-HC's
have separate queues.
-> A new game, Battle Ball where you sit on kangaroo balls and hop on
screens. Difficulty levels from Beginner to Expert.
-> Packages - Habbo Club - 1 month = 25 credits.
3 months = 60 credits.
6 months = 105 credits.
Gaming Tickets - 5 tickets = 2 credits.
17 tickets = 5 credits.

BAD FEATURES:
-> Friend limits - NON-HC's can have up to 100 friends on their list. HC's
can have up to 500 friends on their list.

This version was one of the most anticipated versions of Habbo, and although many NON-HC's have complained of being left out in the cold, Habbo Hotel remains a free chatroom and you're not forced to buy extras. Every version contains features that all Habbos can benefit from, and after Habbo Club UK coming to its 3rd anniversary, more features were added for more value of their money. Overall, this version added many useful features that will definitely enhance the experience of Habbo Hotel.
