Should HxHD be scrapped and COMPLETELY turned into a lounge?

[-:Undertaker:-]

I didn't mean remove the staff, I mean add to it, make it of mixed abilities to keep with the changing times on Habbo.

OIC, atm we go on recommendations, which is quite a good way of picking staff.

After chatting discretely with Leaahh., it would appear that this thread is focusing towards getting rid of the staff if anything. The staff should stay.

In my opinion, a lounge would be kinda cool. It opens up boundaries because the necessity of a help desk has sort of died out since the FAQs got updated with loads of important information, missing the odd few bits of info focusing on user based functions that Habbo can't really describe i.e. stacking. But this doesn't mean staff should be kicked out of the "job" due to the "help" bit becoming less important - If it was just a lounge, it would be chaos if any of the fansite/club lounges were anything to go by when I last played.

So a lounge = Good idea.
No staff = Bad idea.

Like trade rooms, there should be 1 or 2 staff to watch the room. Somehow im sure there'll be HxHaters coming shouting abuse and all that. Anyways i voted yes for the sake of voting.

Oh and i just saw the room lol im sure ive seen better ones in the past.

Initially, I thought of making the entire place a lounge/help desk with no bar, just staff around to help out and chill out, making them integrate more with the desks.

Jaiisun convinced me to alter that a little bit and instead minimize the help desk portion, leaving it there but small.

I think the hybrid portion works better, and staff are absolutely necessary. Staff form the core of the popularity, people come in when staff are there. If it was solely a chill-out room with no staff, its popularity would fluctuate at best, but someone would need to get a bunch of friends together and intentionally go to HxHD for it to become popular.

With this, staff members are around and other single people drop by and can have a chat.

I also set the number at 12 for a reason, it stops the staff from getting too high and stopping staff being the only ones who attend. However having 6 staff is also unrealistic because these 6 staff won't always be online.

This does make sence. I'm glad the staff are staying as there all so nice.

The desk is popular just now..not because of the staff being there cause most of the time there is only 3/4 there but because the regular visitors go there and people come in i dont see why getting rid of the staff would stop people coming in..

Me too to be honest. It seems to be just a case of them being there to talk to, and they don't have to be staff to do that.

But people still do come for help, so we are needed

But I am sure many people are also capable of handling such questions even if they are not staff. I am sure that some people are better at answering these questions than some of the staff.

If it became a lounge then people would not ask questions as frequently.
