    How to brand/style retros differently!

    Habbo Hotel and retros are designed for your crowd of 12 year olds - 18 year olds. That's a very small target audience for your website.

    What are your ideas to make retros/Habbo more appealing for all ages?

    Such as:
    - Avatar design changes
    - Meaner looking dogs (lol)
    - More sleek CMS design
    - Poker (Actual Javascript game built in. Like Habbo used to have battleship!)
    - A wild like in RuneScape where you can go and battle others (Role play zone)

    ----------------------------

    Role play zone idea example: This is a example explained through what the experience and functionality would be.

    So the user goes to the hotel that is not based on Habbo Hotel's images, but has similar functionality. They go to register, and the registration system sends your username and information to two databases.

    The first database is your regular Habbo Hotel style game with chat rooms, falling furni, etc.

    The second database is your role playing retro where there's gangs, you can work out, etc.


    After registering you come to the CMS where there's your regular information of the regular Habbo Hotel chat room style, and the role play. You click one enter button and it loads up one client. Whichever it loads is whichever world you were in last before you logged off. (Regular Habbo or Role play).

    To get between both worlds, you need to go to a specially coded teleporter/airport that will send you from one client to another built in within the CMS.

    The rules and other functionality would be determined with proper planning along the way

    Gambling was the biggest attractor for me.. I mean gambling in Habbo gave me a rush and when I lost I would rage quit but when I won... the rush was real.

    Gambling on Retros is completely different unless you have super rares however. But the Habbo economy is fucked so there are no real rares anymore.. its complete bullshit and it would do Sulake well to just close Habbo and rebrand it with a new image, huge advertising campaign etc...

    Gambling was great on Habbo. Well, I doubt they will add Poker to it. More likely they could add Battleship! I really think Habbo wants to keep this non-violence game though... Safe community where teenagers meet and talk (and spend $$$$$$$$$$$ from their parents.). I doubt they want it as some place where you can play Poker, or kill your classmates... Since they've banned gambling, I doubt there will be "new games", such as Battleship and all...

    About it on retros, yes, it would be possible with some JS hooks and all, and it would be a very nice idea. But I can't see on Official Habbo though.

    I guess it's time for Habbo RP v2, because text killing is kinda boring already XD

    Yeah I'm not talking about the original Habbo. I think it's dead and rather than me wasting time on a retro which is my passion, I want to re-create something legal and better.

    I think it's time that the retro community looked into new designs and innovation!

    If you want something original well then make your own game. There are a lot of retros out there but they are just all the same.. No 12yo will come up with something original or innovative..

    If you want a lot of users, just hand out staff and fire them the next day. Trust me it works, how do you think Habboon is still up and running?
