New Features - 2011
August 2011 was an exciting month for Habbo in terms of the look of the client! A big feature that was implemented was the Friend Steam. This allows you to see who people on your friends list have recently added plus their latest mottos. Another feature which is quite like Facebook is that
you can update your status! Next up was the Friend Bar on the bottom of the screen which displays all of your online friends! There was also a fresh new Navigation Bar on the left to match the new fontRemoval Of Volter! - May 2011
In May 2011 Sulake shook the world of Habbo, since Habbo first started it's text was" Volter GoldFish" it was Habbo's "font" they used it in everything on the client, then in May 2011 the Habbo users saw some changes in the Habbo font, first just some changed then, all hell broke loose! Habbo removed the classic Volter font from the chat bars, so when you talk in rooms the text was no longer Volter! Many fansites were devastated at the change and some even made a petition!
Return Of The Trax! - April 2011
As you all should know we lost the function on the trax machine because of the big merge! But dont panic, Habbo have managed to bring it back! Although this time you cannot create your own trax. One thing what Habbo did to make us all happy again is a badge competition! All you had to do was predict the CD that would sell the most over the weekend!
New Furni Ranges - March 2011
During March 2011 Habbo released two new furni ranges, Cubie (Permanent fixture to the catalogue) and Waasa (Unknown fixture to the catalogue). The cubie furni was extremely cheap with the cheapest being 1c and the most expensive being just 4c! This was great as us Habbos could make cool modern rooms for a really cheap price. The Wassa furni is a great new range too, with tables to pirate ships, and even laptops & computers it was great for offices and homes.
New Pets - February 2011
February was a very busy month, we had at least 3 new things to play around with! They first released new pets! These pets were 'Frogs' & 'Spiders'! The spiders were released with the new gothic furni (See below) and the frogs were released on their own. The spiders were the cheapest to by at only 15c, however for some strange reason habbo decided to make the frogs a whooping 30c! But there was a chance to get a free frog by inviting your friends from face book to come and play habbo with you.
New Furni & The Habbo Wood Comeback - February 2011
Along with the new pet spider’s habbo decided to release a whole new range of furni to a current theme, this was the new gothic furni! The new gothic was a big hit as it was only released for a few a days at a time, first it was available in a competition to help Fozzie find the new missing furni witch she lost in the catalogue! Secondly it was available for about 2 days with the new Habbowood furni. Also in February Habbo decided to bring back Habbowood! With the new pets and new cinema furni it was all great fun, they even threw in a few competitions with it all!
amount of games that could be played but also meant members could teleport and have many other effects too. Habbo showed some of the improvements wired could bring to the Hotel In the 'Official Rooms' Tab.
As part of the many new games Habbo.com has introduced Battle Banzai or BB was one of the first where players could buy themselves. Habbo made event rooms during October where Habbo's would battle it out in games of BB with a twist..This varied from a puck race game to Surprise Games.
Habbo once again celebrated the season of love but this time it was all about the Heartbreak Hotel. LoveHabbo threw many different events and the winners were able to get their hands on a HRH Game Badge. The main aim of the Valentine's season was also to get your hands on Crush Points. These Crush Points enabled the Habbo Bots Mariah and Fabio to fall in love with each other. The individual Habbo with the most Crush Points got to keep the bots in their room! Sadly,Mariah and Fabio split up and a huge split up party was thrown along with the release of the split up badge. On top of this the brand new Bling Furni was released.
This october we sure felt the fear. We had many spooky and fun filled competitions and events including the recreation of a scary moment of yours in Habbo. We also saw the interesting arrival of the groosham Habboween 2009 furniture along with that month's collectible, the Habboween Organ which fitted the month perfect and we also had an exclusive visit from the American actress and singer, Demi Lovato which you can find more about here.
This month we saw the arrival of the brand new never seen before Kitchen furniture range brought another competition to Habbo which was the Celebrity Chef competition where 5 Habbos battled it out to be Habbo's number one Chef. We also saw the return of the Tiki furniture range, once again and had an exclusive celebrity visit from the Welsh rock legends, Funeral For A Friend which you can find more about here.
habbo big brother 2Habbo Big Brother 2 built on the great success of the original Big Brother in Summer 2008 where we even gained another Hotel Manager. This year we had the additional Press Team, who reported on everything Big Brother! And finally more contestants, this year Big Brother was controlling a slightly larger number of housemates - 30 (due to the high demand of applications)... the event was watched live on various nights, and the final winner was Hannah-HBB23!
After Bucho6 discovered Bensalam, he also uncovered a battered diary entry of Don Smith. Don helped to discover Bensalam and it was finally revealed who he was, Donnie Santini! Having landed up in hospital, he left a note telling Habbos to head to the North Clearing. With a Spirit Animal Badge up for grabs for completing this new quest, fun was available for all.
C’mon M’lovers! With the entry of Yukka Tree Hill, everythings gone country! Get on your dungarees and dress your Guy Fawkes dummy from Bonfire Night up as a scarescrow. Yukka Tree Hill wants you to get a bunch of friends and start your own farming community. With the release of the new Country furniture range, the task won’t be as hard as you may think. The mayor of Yukka Tree Hill roamed the hotel three times a day looking for the best villages and awarding furniture to those he liked the best, along with country badges!
Easter has rolled around the corner again, bringing with it a whole bunch of fun! With the return of the Easterdrome, well, I was looking forward to writing about all the chocolatey surprisesEggs but I guess not. This year the staff have focussed more on Global Warming! Having released some new environmentally friendly items, most importantly the Four Seasons Tree which changed season upon a click, and gave the buyer a special badge too! Anyone with a verified email address were also given a special Forest Chair, which also held the clue to the eco-Easter Quest! Alongside this was the opportunity to build a new eco-system in return for a fancy badge if yours was chosen as the best.
It’s that time again, time for the HAFTAS! However, this year’s celebrations came with a twist – no Habbo Movie Maker! All you had to do was create, or find, a video on YouTube that would fit into one of the groups set by the staff. Complete with new furni bundles and trophies returning to the catalogue, it wasn’t too hard to get the set just right! There wasn’t only the YouTube contest, other competitions included creating sets for films and a combination of the two.
events, new furniture, badges and karma points, it sure was a hectic schedule. Alongside this, Habbo would be creating a 5 part Bollywood film with your help! The 5 stages involved creating 1 minute scenes based upon a brief set by the staff within groups of 5 friends. The staff themselves were roaming the hotel to watch as the groups performed their scenes live as they entered. Not only was there this, but also the chance to create a love-hate room! It wouldn’t be any fun with just 2 competitions would it? Well thats why Habbo also gave you the chance to create a Bollywood themed love poem!
AND Bucho6 were both struck down. At this stage, more furni was added to the catalogue for the hospitals. The message from Sulake HQ was as follows: Your Hotel Managers are entering the final stages of the virus and need YOU to fight back and save them!
Igor is know for his mad-cap scientific experiments and he decided to release his new inventions in Habbo. These three inventions, uncluding "The Switch", "The Ray Gun" and "The Hump Massaging Chair," were for sale at 5 creds a peice and Habbo said that they would never be in the catalogue again, so worth buying them. As well as new furni being released, you were also able to get free tickets from Habbo to see the Igor film on the big screen!
One of the biggest events in the sporting calender is that of Euro 2008. Habbos were asked to predict who they thought would win the event by joining different groups. There were different rewards for each team that got into different stages. Those that were eliminated in round 1 received nothing. Those that got into the Quarter Finals would get 10 members 1 month of HC and 10 members a contender badge. Those in the Semi Finals would get 30 members 1 month of HC and 30 members a conteder badge. Those lucky Habbos who chose the teams in the final would get 40 supporters 1 month of HC and 40 members a contender badge. Those supporting the winning team in the final got 10 members a champion badge, 50 members 1 month of HC, 50 members 25 credits.
Traxfactor - December 2007
You've probably heard of Retro Hotels, well this campaign was all against them! Many of these fake hotels can get hold of your data, either by you using your real Habbo details or you downloading something from the fake website. During this campaign there was a Homepage Sticker collection, which if you got all 5 colours, you could apply for a special sticker! The Official Fansites were also involved with this campaign, they had to run various events related to staying safe in Habbo and were each given 20 Homepage Stickers to give away! At the end of this campaign users than voted for the fansite which they thought had the best events, which then won some super rare Dragon Lamps - whether they kept them or gave them away was up to them!
As usual, the Habboween Theatredrome was brought out of storage, along with the same old furniture. Not quite. There were a few additions to the Habboween collection, such as the Crypt and Grave. There was also the traditional Pumpkin Design competition, along with an Alteration competition. You might remember the Cauldron which was released last Halloween, well it now has a competitor, the Gothic Fountain!
Habbo always run their own quests, now it was the user's turn to make them! Habbo asked you to form a group of 5 people, which would then form your Quest Guild. Each person would then have to take on a different role, such as Story Writer or Game Creater. Some special pieces of furni were also released, the Area Desk and White Roller.
Easter - April 2007
matchmaking and personality test tools. Then we saw the NEWLYMETS items and gossip from that, and the poem generator! As with any Valentines there was the Valentines Theatredrome and the usual furniture. The Habbo Staff also gave some lovely presents to some Habbos, in the form of a room makeover!
Halloween - October 2006
One of the biggest events of the summer was the Habbo Dream Team. Habbo launched the new public room, The Stadium and the Football Lamp to celebrate your favourite team winning. Habbo ran a number of events to give Habbos a place in the Dream Team, there was also an official fansite competition to give one place to, in which Habbos voted for their favourite representative to take that place on the team. All of the members of the team would then go head-to-head against the other hotels, unfortunately for us, the United States won.
Another big event was this Christmas. There was a huge dispute between Dudley and Rudolph, the main theme of this Christmas. The two ran various events to win badges and furni, nearer to the big day we, the Habbo public, were asked to vote who they thought would be the best candidate to run Christmas 2005! There was the usual furni released, the special Theatredrome and a quest, asking us to find the pieces of Santa's Sleigh which got shattered into 5 pieces, poor Santa.
Many games and competitions came around for this event, the good old Habboween furniture was brought back from the depths of the cellar, the downloads and e-cards were also found in a soggy box! This year we were also given the chance to choose our own rare, by choosing which we wanted to be resurrected. There was the Pumpkin Design competition again, and as a new addition to the Habboween events, the Habbo Clans! What you had to do was form a group, whether it was friends or any old randomer, you then had to take part in various tasks and one clan would be the winner, publishing their article in the newsletter.
(Impetuous), Tea A (Helkat) and Kosmic Kittens (GlitterKat). After going on until mid September, RIF were named the winners!
What a large event this was, so I'll stay brief so I can fit more in! Firstly, the Fansite Drop-in was constructed for users to find out about the official fansites. There was a competition which involved making a room, each fansite had an account created with 250 credits on, in whicih they had to make the best competition to win this event. They also had to battle it out to make the best alterations and find the best news reporter in the fansites. The winner of the Habbarazzi competition also got to write in the newsletter each week. Each fansite also ran their own quests and competitions, some of which you could win a set of Elephants, Rare Trophy sets and DJ Decks!
Not very often is it that Habbo want to find special members. Well, in this New Year's event, they wanted to find a Habbo of the year, they actually wanted to find 12! They asked the public to vote for which room they thought was the best, a few finalists for each group were then put up for the vote again to get a winner. The groups they wanted a best Habbo for were; Most Helpful Male, Most Helpful Female, Funniest Male, Funniest Female, Most Helpful Help Centre, Best Chill Room, Best Game Room, Best Trade Room, Best Theme Room, Best Fansite, Best Radio and the person Most Contributed to the hotel. Habbox managed to win two of these awards, the Best Fansite and Best Radio!
