Habbo is slowly beginning to die out ~ Discuss

[Bryan-Tah]

I think it will die when it is filled with people who play club penguin and dragon quest. LMAO.

[N-Dubz]

habbo was ruined as soon as the console was - wasn't this like mid 2008?! idk. i cant even remember, all i know is habbo screwed itself up as soon as they let new designs and updates take over the site.

if it aint broke, don't fix it. sulake shoulda listened to this piece of advice!

[Rigr]

Many people leave because of habbo's stupid mistakes (like pointless updates, wrong bannings etc.) and then sulake wonders why people leave.

I miss the big hand and getting good deals for my HCs

[Slowpoke]

I'd kill for a Habbo classic with the original client but I highly doubt it'll ever happen.

[Grimmauld]

id kill for cokemusic too ;p

id kill for cokemusic too ;p

What's cokemusic? :S

[Thomas]

i think its a game like habbo which closed

[AgnesIO]

i'd say it is

1) they arn't considering other peoples views, they just go along with it anyway - updates etc
2) they arn't loyal to their older member (2001-2004)
3) the security is shocking making people leave when they get hacked etc (i know half of the time it isn't habbo - phishers etc - but sometimes it is; for example getting a reset password via the help tool - like my case - where users can give infomation on the user - sometimes fake info - & get their password that way

aswell as this, credits seem to be costing more & more which will have an impact - people buy less credits which in turn makes them poorer/bored which eventually leads to their departure of the game

To be fair it sounds like you gave too much information away - you cannot just go on to the help tool and say 'yeh I am pabble, change my pass'

I think BETA was an obvious sign they were struggling, the merge was another sign.

I just though; wouldn't it be funny if they removed the exchange and put all the credit's in people's purses. Venial would have thousands which he pretty much couldn't use

Why do people say they are struggling?

Helsinki, Finland – May 20, 2010 - Sulake Corporation, the parent company of Habbo Hotel, the world's largest virtual community and hotel for teenagers, today announced its best quarterly financial results in the company’s history. Between January and March 2010, Sulake’s revenue increased more than 25 percent compared with the same period last year, resulting in sales of $20 million (€14.7 million). The strong revenue growth, combined with operating model improvements and cost savings in the final quarter of 2009, has also led to a significant increase in the company’s profits. Sulake’s EBITDA in Q1/10 totaled $3 million (€2.3 million, 15 percent of revenue).

They just wanted more money, so they cut proper moderators and try to "fix" the hotel for more profit.

combined with operating model improvements and cost savings

Lol. Cost savings at the user's expense.

Why do people dislike it when habbo do things to make themselves more money?

Because I tell you now, if I ran Sulake I would aim to get every single penny I could get out of the little kids.
