Dear Users of the Habbo Hotel Section of RaGEZONE,

Quote:

Over the past few days, there have been several claims over this section that Sulake Ltd. has been legalizing Habbo Hotel Retros. I have contacted Sulake Ltd. personally as a representative of this section of RaGEZONE. Here is the exact communication between myself and one of the representatives at Sulake Ltd. Corporation: [SIZE=NaN] To whom it may concern, Hello, I am one of the staff members at RaGEZONE.com, an MMORPG Development Site and I have recently noticed that users are claiming they have contacted your corporation. The users at this site are claiming that you are now legalizing Habbo Hotel Retros but under one condition, and this is that the Retro Owners MUST develop their own DCRs or rather loaders. Here is one of the messages one of the users at RaGEZONE.com has posted: "OMFG! I mailed Sulake by asking them if retro's are legal, and they told me it was if we could code one ourselfs. So if we don't use their official DCRs and variables, we are absolutly legal! If you guys don't believe me, here is the e-mail. Read the bold part carefully! "Dear Mark, thank you for your letter. We cannot tolerate retros as they violate international copyright laws. Habbo hotel is protected by copyright laws which means that only Sulake Corporation can create or operate Habbo Hotels. Sulake is a large company that employs 300 people full-time worldwide who are all paid a salary to create and maintain Habbo Hotels. Retros are simply nothing but theft. *All these people who have retros can create their own games for their friends if they have the skill. You can also play Habbo for free, you do not need to break the law to enjoy Habbo.* Kind Regards, Isa Kautto Sulake Corportion" So if we all use our own dcrs, sulake can't screw with us :v:" Please take a look at the letter above which has been marked in bold for your convenience. Now, I want you to take look at the section where it is bold, italicized, and underlined. Please elaborate that specific section for my better understanding. As a staff member at RaGEZONE.com, an MMORPG Development Site, I want to cease any confusions between the community. If perhaps this letter was never dispatched to any e-mails, please kindly notify me so I can sort out the issue immediately. Thank you for your time, ******* *******[/SIZE]

The above letter is my first e-mail to Sulake Ltd. Corporation. Here is the reply:

Greetings, Your forum member has misunderstood the letter below. Sulake does not state that retro severs are ok. They're illegal. Don't do it. We will take legal action if a Habbo persists in creating retro server sites. What the person below meant by their statement is that Habbos can create games for their friends for free (such as "falling furni" etc.) therefore, there is no need to copy our site and steal our bandwidth and our concept. "Their own games" means games within Habbo proper. Thanks for your query. I hope this clears up the misconception. Rebecca

So as you can see, Retros are in no way, shape, or form legal to Sulake. They will not tolerate these types of sites. You take on full responsibility of anything that happens to yourself, your hotel guests (members), and anything else when you run a Retro. You can't blame this community or any other individual(s) for something you decided to run.
