Fansite: Easter Egg-stravaganza!

[Yawn]

Habbox is out of touch, that's why it's 'failing so badly lately in client'.

It's always being said that it's unfair to target the community manager so I'll just say that the fault is on the entirety of the management team instead. Other sites are storming ahead because they have teams of people dedicated to their cause rather than just performing their roles to pass the time. They drive their teams towards goals and collaborate with others to get their names out there, whilst habbox sit back and throw some furniture into a room, say "that'll do, I guess..." and hope for the best.

None of the blame here is on habbcrazy. They've created an engaging entrance and main room that properly promotes their site with an easter theme. Habbox has a hedge maze with hoteluser running about spouting stuff about VIP colours. I feel like the easter aspect really went over the heads of those that created the room and the questions are aimed at established members of habbox rather than those that haven't ever encountered it before. There are a maximum of 3 questions posed to every user that goes through the room and the second part is so poorly organised that the teleport that links to the next room is the only one owned by believemesafety so it's not challenging at all to get past. The questions themselves are geared more towards to forum than the site itself, possibly because the website is too hideous to want to divert people to. Is it even possible to find out VIP colours without actually being a registered user?

The pillows are slightly annoying and that is something that should have been tested properly and discussed. Habbox are kowtowing to junior sites and idk why. Assert your dominance and reclaim your place at the top.

We've reached the tipping point. Over the past 6 months the community has dwindled, events are at an all-time low and the only people actually getting stuck in are those whose roles are unrelated. No st patricks quest and a half hearted 'easter' one. The official habbo-backed events are just as important as the ones only advertised internally, if not even more so. There have been countless chances to promote the really great aspects of habbox and they've been passed up or feeble attempts have been made.

Habbox is no longer a site that people want to be affiliated with and there is nothing being produced that makes them want to change their minds. sub par event and sub par management.

also please stop replying to criticism with excuses and just take it on board. bi.

ooer kyle

ruthless!

I spent the time and effort and plenty of my own credits creating a quest on Habbo from the content department.
Although content isn't a community department I thought it would be quite nice to show the community we are involved with them.
I think the main Habbox event wasn't planned very well (and the room looks rushed) and wasn't advertised very poorly.
It's s shame because the hype that was going around the staff threads and management forums made it out to be like it was a,ll planed and going to be amazing.

wow doesnt sound like its worth checking out then! too bad!

@Hidden; if one fansite believes it's all sorted then it's not really their fault, especially when they're told it's sorted.

Also, I'm not repeating myself about the past, it's the past after all.

Well let's face it, people are saying the management isn't giving good co-ord with the users. Then surely if you guys were doing it correctly then you would be discussing with the other site you were working with to ensure that it was done rather than 'believing' that they done it. Why not ensure that the rooms were created and enter them with the badge and also let them do it? Or does this not make sense, no? It was a team event after all both to blame in the end even if you let them do everything.

We were in communication with them throughout the planning and still are now, we were told by them in the forum we used that the badge and everyone was sent and the room links too. We didn't let them do everything, like I said we are/were in communication and we did ask whether we should send them in, but they had done it/were doing it. Although, I get your point about the rooms as I got Jake to test ours to ensure it worked as well.

So what are you guys gonna do to make sure the next event is successful because quite clearly what you seen as well organised hasn't worked. I liked Alex's idea of hiring people to do the games/mazes because I am not sure any of the current management team are up to the challenge.

The HS & FH event is ridiculous! The wired breaks if someone leaves the room after they've been teleported to the gates, so it basically has to be operated manually. The rabbits move too fast and there are too many of them. The queue itself takes a good 30 minutes to get through, and then you end up losing within 10 seconds. The owners are rarely even in the room, so when the room breaks we have to wait another 20 minutes for them to come fix it!

Hey, We are aware the wired is glitchy, as is Kitchenninjette. This is the reason I keep closing the room when I'm not around to help people out. Yesterday I was in the room at least 6-7 hours of the day, and only left to do the titanic quests.. Which i LEFT whilst doing the partner bit because I had so many people add me asking for my help. Yes it's my fault the wired glitches as I'm not too comfortable with timer wired, but I avoided doing the same old mazes everyone always does because everyone moans. Now I've tried to do a game and still, everyone moans. People moan the queue is too long, but would you rather have 30 seconds to complete it? Because I tell you it's only just achievable within 2 minutes whilst avoiding the rabbits. We have removed two rabbits and as a result I've seen more and more people complete it. I'm sorry if you found it too difficult. Our event does not have to be operated manually, it simply needs to be moderated as the gates have a tendency to glitch. I hope our next fansite event will be up to your standards !

Why are you blaming us for a HabbCrazy room? Read the last lines after (sorry about that), but I believe some people did test it out (not sure if it was just those from HabbCrazy though) I'd love to slow it down, but got told not to or else I would have. I fully agree the pillows are ridiculous, a few have asked to slow down the pillows as well as far as I know, not just me.

Was the whole point in being teamed up with another fansite not that you'd be working together to produce the rooms, and I'd assume that the management of Habbcrazy saw your room and they saw yours and gave feedback so that both rooms could be improved to make the whole event even better for the benefit of both fansites?

Everyone who thinks it's normal to get all hostile over a few fansite events should really like take a seat and think about their life choices. All of the fansite staff that put these events together took time out of their lives to provide fun games for YOU. smh

Try run a website by that logic and it won't last very long.

Thank you for the reply.

I understand fansites do their best to provide fun and unique events for everyone to participate in. But in all honesty, the idea wasn't all that original--collision type games have been around for months. This comes down to personal preference, but I enjoyed the other events more simply because the queues weren't as long. That's the main problem here. The game itself isn't terribly hard, and the wired glitches are excusable, but when you have to wait 30 minutes per go it gets tedious real quick. I would have halved the amount of bunnies and time (1:00 per go) so that the line empties at a faster pace.

Having said all this, I understand you can't make everyone happy and that there will always be complainers. Once again, I appreciate the fact that you responded to me and this post will be the last of my complaints.

So many badges to get... Don't know if I can get them all over this week cry
