tokens for creds

[Yawn]

i looked at the forum shop and couldnt see anything

is this still a thing

[Chris]

We stopped this quite a while ago I'm afraid.

[Lewis]

Never knew you stopped this, was there an announcement?

[lemons]

that is a shame

[Chris]

No there was never an announcement for it. It was brought up in feedback countless times due to there never being any stock, so we finally decided to remove it.

Ripieno said on forum a couple months ago that habbox has "more than enough" credits to give as prizes. Add the coins back to token shop or riot in hallway

yer but the problem would be members would suck habbox dry and then when hxss/big events comes no one has credits for prizes etc

Some events give away a gold bar per round, this doesn't appear to be a problem. Without credit incentives no habbo users really care about posting - posting stats reflect that.

but they could earn the same prize considerably faster (and without having to try and break into our.. somewhat closed community) by playing events or entering comps/hxl comps. plus the fact everything has to be done manually from the shop it can be quite slow and a new user might even start to think we're scamming them? I like the forum shop but I don't think it's suitable for habbo credits to be sold.

Maybe I'm wrong though. Do you have any stats to show who/what kind of members bought coins?

No new user is going to have enough tokens to redeem for credits and if they think they're being scammed after posting so long in a system that has rewarded lots of people already then they're an idiot. There is no community to break into on the forum and saying that it is hard to post is only discouraging.

50c took 100 minimal effort posts to gain, it's a nice incentive to continue to post for those that wouldn't normally and a good alternative to those that don't attend events or enter competitions but still like playing habbo. Keeping token shop icons purely forum based is only encouraging for active forum users, not the dormant ones that might be posting otherwise.

Only habbo players bought coins with tokens. Yawn effectively gets no reward for all the posts he made and now has no incentive to continue posting, which is what the tokens were brought in for in the first place.
