You're missing the point. The reason you start a company like Sulake is to make profit. It's not a charity, the money goes towards keeping servers online, keeping development going, keeping developers paid, artists paid, and keeping everyone of their employee's house's lights on and of course keeping their office lights on. All of these things are what keeps Habbo going. Without money, Habbo couldn't exist the way it exists today.

Like keeping their office lights on, it would also require a huge amount of money and resources to transfer furniture/accounts over to another hotel. Which is why they probably won't do it, unless it was going to be profitable and generate more income for the company. Habbo is a business which ever way you look at it, and everything needs to be put into consideration in terms of how it benefit the company in a positive/negative way.

Don't forget that Habbo merged hotels once already.
They can do it again if they want.

I think you're missing my point. I know how companies does/works etc.

I'm only saying that wouldn't be a hard job migrating user data to other hotels. Obviously would be money spent and a big job, but not hard.

Everyone from the last hotels closed lost everything. Without chance of migration, some people on my country really spent more than 10k of Brazilian Reals on this game.

PLOT TWIST: Sulake is already in the process of either A) Developing HTML client.... B) Going fully mobile

Fully mobile with Flash? Would be a hateful experience.
But agree, maybe the same what happened with Club Penguin goes with Habbo.

Lmfao NO, Habbo already has an iPhone and Android app.. Actually I don't know if it's still alive, and I don't know if it's Flash or not.. But I never meant "Fully mobile with Flash", oh jesus no.

Afaik the mobile apps used flash too so. Complete html5 rewrite or pools closed. I bet the latter.

I know they have. But it's a really poor experience.

I think sow, sulake is developing HTML5 client, all the icons are now on .png for HTML5.
And flash is soon Outdated, habbo is an game for the PC, not the mobile.
That are 2 reasonsf for it

.png was to have quicker catalog /inventory loading.

I thought of a 360 degree idea like this a few years ago, experimented it with some code (using arrows to rotate the room), didn't turn out too well, room/furni was very glitchy. You'd have to re-create all furni for different angles if you were to actually try it..
