what actually killed the hc

[JamesT]

The RD value at the time was seriously inaccurate - especially after the grand exchange came in. Realistically the HC was worth about 30-40 RD all along - and you would normally get around 10 lodge corners per HC - one lodge corner being 3c. But then the grand exchange came in and suddenly lodge corners were only worth 1c each - HCs were now only worth 14c each - rather than the previous 30ish.

Stuff like Lodge corners were considered to be worth more than 3c as its a nice furni really. 3c was the catalogue price so people always wanted more for it.

Lodge corners have NEVER been worth more than three CREDITS. Obviously other furniture, but in CREDITS they never have and never will (assuming they never leave the cat.) go above three credits.

Before Habbo Exchange (credit furni) Lodge corners, Pines etc etc (casino norms) were always 3RD each and were always 10 per HC. So HC's were 30RD. Back in the days or RD you always saw 1RD as 1C, but then Habbo Exchange comes along and Lodge Corners became 1C, they had to be cheaper than 3C because thats their catalog price. So now that they were 1C the HC sofa had come down from 30RD to 10-15RD... which was now called C so thats 10-15C. It slowly then decreased down to 10C as it was just a round, fair price. The HC was always seen as a currency even when Credit furni was released. Marketplace is then released, Credits become the main currency, HC becomes just like any other item of furni and BOOM it's at 5C. Then slowly as the HC starts to loose evenmore of it's status as a currency and just become a plain piece of furni, the marketplace sets in to decrease it's value as people started to put them in at cheaper and cheaper prices. Then before we know it the HC sofa is worth 1/2C or 2HC for 3C.

This means that you can today but a HC at around 3-7% of the HC's price 4 years ago. Said really.

It's like in real life, if a country switches currency then the old currency is only worth the paper/metal it is made of... maybe slightly more to a collector. Which is now the same in Habbo, it's all about credits. We want cheaper and cheaper products but we want more money (credits) at the same time.

Intresting theory, I agree!

Sadly it isn't a theory.

It is fact.

Since lodge corners were always worth 3c in the catalogue since the begining of habbo, it would have been impossible for them to be worth more than 3c no matter how nice people considered them

Lodge corners have NEVER been worth more than three CREDITS. Obviously other furniture, but in CREDITS they never have and never will (assuming they never leave the cat.) go above three credits.

As Dom said, always has and probably always will.

[Jacob-G4E]

it was the Marketplace that killed the HC, however i personally think that the UK & USA Habbo's merging together caused alot of Rare's to loose value.

[Zak]

In all honesty though as it was the main currency in Habbo Hotel there's so many around, and they're not even that nice looking. Supply > Demand.
