Current state of affairs at Habbox

Pretty much exactly like the RuneScape achievement system. I think this would work very well. I also imagine it would be a good replacement to the awards on the forum, which seem a bit stale.

Do not think it should be a replacement, just a supplement.

yes exactly like the runescape achievement system haha although actually it was playing an xbox game that gave me the idea. they have a similar thing too but I think it works nicer for new users to have that beginner/medium/hard structure that runescape has.

The tasks don't have to be serious either so it could show off the fun side of habbox too (there actually is one) and maybe some tasks that involve people to work as a team.

Do you not think the awards scheme on the forum is pretty pointless?

[Inseriousity.]

I'd personally replace the awards system, it's pretty much redundant and the awards can be assimilated into the task system.

i agree with everything kyle said!

i also think if i could become hxhd staff that would be great

hmm I would agree but I feel like some awards are slightly harder to 'assimilate' into such a system than others. you know what, you're right.

This is what we need people. Individuals that WANT to be staff and represent habbox. Not those in positions because they owe somebody a favour. Do not deny anybody showing a genuine interest, even if you don't currently get along or haven't in the past. Learn to love eachother and make habbox special.

Some awards would be harder to implement, for example all the limited edition VIP awards would have to be bundled into a group of achievements: 'Purchase 1 Limited Edition VIP', 'Purchase 3 different Limited Edition VIPs' rather than just have a 'Purchase Rainbow VIP', since you wouldn't be able to complete it after it was removed.

Same would be for the seasonal events (Finish 1st/2nd/3rd in HxSS, Valentines etc) - they would have to be combined into something like 'Finish in the top 3 for a Habbox Seasonal Event'.

You are right, some awards would need tweaking to make them more general, but all would work with some tweaking.

[Kyle]

One thing that worries me though is past event achievements going unnoticed. Some may not feel properly acknowledged by being banded into same category as others if they feel that their contribution is more unique. Older, retired awards will become obsolete. Users that achieved them get no recognition for doing so if you remove their forum badge.

What are peoples thoughts on current helpdesk setup? Is it serving its purpose? any changes that would benefit it?

[Inseriousity.]

Well the achievements would have everyone starting from scratch, a clean slate so to speak. It doesn't have to be that way but it's how I'd personally start it. Yes some of the awards would have to go but as people don't seem to be in the business of collecting awards and it's just simply an extra then I feel any obsolete awards would balance out with the new achievement system where what you earn is actually worth something.

[FlyingJesus]

Current helpdesk is ugly and ineffective, a change that would improve it would be hiring people who actually want to do it to help people rather than so they can AFK in the back and complain publicly that they can't be bothered to commit like a certain girlfriend of Zebbadi who I totes won't name was doing last week. Hardly anyone actually goes in asking for genuine help but when it does happen people far too often seem unwilling or unable to help - more often than not it'll be another visitor who acts for them
