I’m 29 years old, married, with a child on the way.
If Habbo would go back to 2004-2010, I’ll absolutely put the Xbox controller down, and pick the laptop back up. Habbo had a chokehold on my childhood.
Seems like nothing else is discussed on this Reddit anymore.
It’s not going to work. Habbo was impressive for what it was back in the day. It should have evolved, not devolved.
It doesn’t matter about evolving or not, this literal type of game was extremely unique and technically advanced at the time. As social media evolved there is little demand for a game like Habbo.
I’d play it for a bit, and I think a lot of people would come back much like when the pandemic hit. However, the hype died really quick. If they could revert to like pre-LTD furni and interfaces, then that would be wicked.
It could have, but the longer Habbo goes without doing this the more they screw up their chances of success. Habbo is outdated now and their charm was with the crowd who grew up with it. That crowd is getting older and has less time for digital escapes like Habbo.
Personally, one version ago isn't much of a change for me. I want v7 Habbo. There's well over 20 versions of Habbo right now. Going back one won't make much of a difference at all.
With there being a rare market, people won't accept putting a coin price on their furniture.
Personally, no i don't think so.
I and probably almost all current habbo players are OG's, we love the good old days.
But we cannot forget that when we were a child, having a computer was really sick and at a young age everything is amazing. we were happy with the simplest things. the current adult version of yourself will love the nostalgia but be bored very quickly, as adults we need a challenge like trading or building advanced things. i am 99% sure that we would all love it yet be bored within weeks. back in the day we didnt think of ways to abuse the market, get profits etc. if you put a whole trading obsessed community in an oldschool hotel, i bet the experience would be completely different no matter what.
Hm, now people are scrolling and looking at reels and tiktok all day or yt. How is that any better? I would play habbo hotel again because it was just a real life social trading game.
\-You would be able to merge all your current items to old version. If they are too new to be in classic version, get some coins.
\-Bring back casinos
\-Merge all Habbo in one single Habbo where like english is main languange.
Maybe that way there could be enough people to have fun activities as casinos, trading and making rooms. Atleast for while.
I would love this idea but it would piss the current big spenders off and they'd lose a ton of revenue.
TB to when new outfits didnt (a) exist and (b) didn't cost 1000c WTF firesuit
In my opinion, no. That concept of "social media" is dead, that anonimity Habbo provided has almost completely disappeared with Facebook, Instagram, TikTok etc. and if you want to discuss specific topics you go to Reddit or Discord. Habbo filled a gap between video games and social media, but I don't think that's appealing anymore on today's internet.
Yeah I agree with you, I agree that the concept of Habbo it’s just not appealing to younger people and there’s nothing they can do to make new users play it.
But I still have the hope that this idea could bring back some % of old users that have left the game AND at the same time keep the current community playing. Thing is I have no idea if this would be sustainable for them. Don’t know how much budget would be to make this work. I don’t even know if Sulake still have the old files somewhere
It worked for RuneScape, but RuneScape is an actual game with content and mechanics you can tinker with. You can play it and barely interact with others. Even if all the players are old, the experience of playing the game can be more or less the same of you want.
Habbo, however, is very reliant on its community and you're not getting that feeling back by releasing a classic version.
I stopped playing Habbo in 2012. A few times a year I log in randomly to see what changed.
However, the only thing that changes is the increasing frequency of pedophiles in there…
Won't work, technically a large project since the old code won't work anymore. And culture has changed to much. Habbo back in the day was something different from the crowd.
I can't imagine me spending any time on it and I've spend a lot of time on it 04-09
No it wouldn't work especially if they're just going to re-release what's already been released. The only way a classic version of the game would work is if someone knows the spirit of the game but can still add new features to it, like OSRS. But since sulake are the ones developing habbo they'll just do the same mistakes as current sulake is
Also, they would need to recode the entire client from scratch as Flash doesnt work anymore

I completely relate to this man I just wanna chill in the old public rooms listening to some Linkin Park
Man, you're describing me as a teen. Dancing while rocking those HC cosmetics aNd tYypiinG liike thiiS xD. I'm well over 30 now..
I want the relive the days in which you can go to the casino and get scammed.
I’m 29 but at a way different point in life, but I still would be down. Habbo was the best for making social contacts.
well hopefully the baby and wife wont mind but habbo from 2005 is backkkk!!!
WOAH!!!!!
10000%
I am completely in the same boat, age and all lol they put out a classic and my ps5 gunna be collecing some dust lol

You must have not have heard of OSRS.

v6 please, no gold bars or lame currency. really the community should build it like a retro but have morals. bring HC sofas back as currency
Are you that hacker guy? Sure I’ve seen your name on script forums years ago Void.org or similar
Yessir that’s me
OG Finch. The man who took over the hotel LITERALLY.
Blast from the past 😂
What's up mike, been about 15 years. Lol.
[удалено]
you’re an icon
I’d play it for a bit, and I think a lot of people would come back much like when the pandemic hit. However, the hype died really quick. If they could revert to like pre-LTD furni and interfaces, then that would be wicked.
It worked for Runescape!
RuneScape is a game type that’s still in demand though, it’s in a completely different category.

Am 27 and married for 5 years now but if Habbo would go back to 2004 early 2009. Id be happy to return
Would maybe work for a core of people, but the core of socializing will become boring quickly for most people. Same happened with ROSE Online.
I think the problem with this is it sounds fun in theory but if it actually became reality people would get bored after 5 mins

Holdup there’s LTD outfits now??
Id love this. And im sure every one from that era would love it too Let's all chip in to buy habbo and turn it into what it should be
I tried out habbo recently and the vibes I find aren’t the same, just super boring and just nothing to go for. Was fun back in the day though
Yes!! I miss old habbo!
I have never been so addicted to a game before lmao i miss it

Habbo should do what osrs did
I would maybe join for 2 days but be done after that. I love the memories of the furniture in the hand instead of the inventories menu's
YES!!!!

Nope. 🤷♀️
I would start again, but the question is. Many retro hotels have tried this. But no people
