Virtual Dating Ads

[Jordy]

It seems Habbo UK has a new advertising campaign featuring flash adverts on websites.

So far I've came across three different adverts, all of them featuring similar styles and slogans.

The thing that particularly surprised me was they're now advertising Habbo as a place for 'virtual dating' which I believe Habbo have refrained from using in the past and never really acknowledged the dating going on in the hotel. They're now using it as a selling point to get people to sign up.

They're also advertising it as a place for online gaming with the likes of free Snowstorm, in the past they've preferred it to be known as a teenager chatroom or online world.

Could mean all sorts of things, perhaps a new direction for Habbo or maybe just a desperation to step into the market of everything considering it's now a teenage chatroom, virtual dating, online gaming and part social networking.

Virtual dating but you'll be banned for heavy petting

Well the fact that SS+BB are gone on BETA doesn't go to well with these ad's although on the BETA poll i did today it asked weather to bring them back or not. As for the dating it was an option wether to be able to "Hug and/or hold hands with other habbos" so it is a step in the direction of virtual love making. Which i never really expected to see!

Watch this space i think is all we can say.
