The standard of Habbox events...

[Red]

Have to agree with what people saying about Habbox being more UK-Based.

Sure, there's quite a few foreign people who use Habbox - e.g. Lots of Americans and some australians, etc. but there's like 0 events in their timezone and very little of them visit Habbox rooms at prime time in their timezone.

Ex. Last night in the HxHD, Me and Char were in there 'till like 3am ('cause we're sad) GMT - Which is like 10pm in USA or earlier, and the hxhd was almost dead - the only people in there were me, her, Hopeless and Habbic. We were all UK, Ekelektra did appear a few times though.

If there was like a tonne more events to accomodate EST? timezones (and more 'advertising' of fansites from Sulake), then I suppose it would do a bit better international wise.

I was there too >:{ lmao
and like bethie said. she did loads of est events. late night pod racing and pub quiz >:}

Pfft, I completely forgot sorry x

And yeah, k Bethie and dey: do put in the effort to provide for AEST And EST timezones (which is pretty 'good' considering they're GMT x) but I think it's simply the lack of events organisers in the AEST and EST timezones.

Obviously, you can't force people to hire (as Mathew was trying to say) or resign, so it's almost a dead end - unless you have a few GMT people who have the spare time to host events in diff. timezones.

I'd also like to add to this, that I was there at the time and I thought that the host did an appauling job, i completely understand that it may be a new host - but surely he/she should know how to deal with this kinda thing, or have the staff handbook open alongside Habbo so they are able to reference it should they need to.

Well I am assuming that the events staff are monitored so I am pretty sure that it is uncommon. As far as the help desk is concerned if I see the postition right they have to man the desk for hours with virtually nothing to do and cannot be AFK while doing this. I am sure I will be corrected if this is not the position but I see little point in staff wasting their lives like this when maybe they and the room could be utilised to provide giveaways, events, quizzes and at this time of year shows like pantomines, parties combining the radio etc. Surely the aim would to get the room full every night so the word gets around habbo about Habbox. It could be the main hub for advertising the forum, site & radio which is the main reason for it. I am not saying abandon it but downsize it so it is still there if anybody really wants help. I am sure the managers of community and the AGM could get their heads together to make it one of the most popular rooms on habbo.

Help desk staff can go afk

The only thing I know of is, if they're "signed on" as in getting their hours up, if they afk for over a specific time they have to turn off their RN (so they're not getting say 3 hours added to their total time when they're actually afk for those 3 hours, just checking back every 15 minutes to move)

Giveaways would ruin the point in the helpdesk, you can't exactly help people if you have 47 braindead morons should "FREE FURNI PLS I GOT HAKD", not would people in a position of help be able to enter the room.

Quizzes are great, but atm they only do one per week, one week hopeless was doing quiz's and it was fun throughout the week, but unfortunately no-ones bothered since then, I think they want to keep the effort they put into the desk at a minimal, i.e. no coming up with questions/answers as that = effort.

I'd like events to take part, as every owner seems to refuse to use the proper size of room, and make a stupidly large room, and only use half of it when the other half could be used for an event of any kind.

Again, partying in the room brings the braindead morons who tune into hxl who will spam the room with nothing but crap, causing people who need help to be locked out of the room, or unable to be heard over the aforementioned braindead morons.

Due to the decline in help desks several years ago the staff limit got put down to 12-13 (i'm sure thats the reason if not correct me), but since then for some reason its gone back up to 30. With 12-13 staff it was more active than the now 30 staff limit (currently got 21 hired, and apps just closed)

I can see what you are saying but in the old days of Seacat and SunshineCutie:boohoo: the main entrance for all giveaways, big events etc were from a teleporter in the HXHD which did mean that the room got far more exposure. I also think the comment about HXL listeners is somewhat controversial at the least. LOL

[scottish]

Yeah but back then HxHD was well known and always active, so the point in the teleport was mostly for the events to get more popular from being in hxhd, not to get hxhd more active

Which is completely opposite of whats happening now

Comment about HxL was spot on, when theres a DJ and the listeners are following they do nothing but spam crap, try to crowd the DJ and continue spamming crap 'OMG PLS PLAY DIS' 'OMG SHOUT OUT MIIIIII NAME!!!!!' 'OMG PLS ADD ME UR MA FAVOURITE DJ PLS ADD ME I LUV U OMG' Etc, that kind of crap in HxHD does nothing but force the people who actually enjoy using it away, as they can't be bothered to put up with idiots like that.
