March 7th’s Town Hall: A Breakdown!

In early March, we hosted a Town Hall event on X to engage with the community and address questions about Habbo. To view our responses to the questions posted on March 14th, please click here and scroll down to the relevant posts. Alternatively, you can access the original Town Hall post here and scroll to see the replies and answers on the original post.

Answering questions about what we’re up to not only keeps everyone in the loop but also shines a light on the biggest issues our players face. This insight is super helpful for us as it guides us to focus on what really matters to our community!

✅ Big takeaways

• Adding more achievements. Achievements are something we get a lot of suggestions and requests about, particularly about unarchiving old ones. In the Town Hall we revealed that we want to continue releasing new achievements, particularly those that are linked to features we launch or events we run! In terms of unarchiving old ones, there are some that could potentially be unarchived but lots are limited time ones that can’t return, or depend on items that we can’t bring back. However, the Habbo LiveOps team is going to look at ones we could unarchive.

• Adding a Recycling feature. This was something a lot players were very keen to know about. Adding something like this to Habbo would be a big undertaking, but it’s clear you, the players, are desperate for it. The team is currently looking into this and discussing the design of the feature as well as the technical details. If we released a Recycling feature, it’s very likely we’d introduce new achievements for it, too 👀

• Better inventory management. We teased a big new feature we’re releasing that will provide players will much better inventory management capabilities (among other things 😯)

• Improving perks for our volunteers. In the Town Hall we revealed that we’re in the very early stages of discussions around improving the perks for players that volunteer in Habbo.

• Increasing age limit for Habbo. We heard a lot of feedback that our chat filter is too harsh, and that we should make it less stringent. This would be possible if the age limit for Habbo was increased. We revealed that we’re actively looking to increase the age limit for Habbo, however we can now also reveal that we’re in the process of increasing the age limit to 16+. Our account creation process doesn’t yet reflect this requirement, but we’re planning to make it so soon.

• Deleting avatars from accounts. We revealed that we are going to make it possible to delete avatars from accounts!

• Linking Facebook accounts to email addresses. This is another small change we’re working on to make life easier for our players.

• Group improvements. Players asked for a way to leave banned groups which we said we were going to make possible. They also asked for an increase in the number of groups they can be a part of, which we’re hoping will happen reasonably soon, certainly before the end of the year. Finally, players said they’d like better customisation of their group icons, which is something the team is going to scope out soon.

• Improving competition rewards. We’ve had consistent feedback (even from Habbos outside the Town Hall) that competition rewards aren’t good enough, and that we should improve them. This is something we’re actively discussing within the team!

• Improving HC and BC. We’re keen to keep building on the improvements we’ve made to BC recently with exclusive event items, and there’s a chance that we’ll do something similar for HC, too.
