Why do foreign hotels get so many users?

[Fibfbi]

Hey guys, title says all. Why do these foreign hotels have 3000+ users online and boon and fresh struggle for 300 online. It's been like this since I could remember, the foreign habbo scene was always WAY bigger than the English ones. Why?


How do they keep pulling these numbers even when ppl get older / move on they still pull these numbers.

Not to mention, these foreign hotels always have way more up-to-date/professional/ cms and emu. It's like they are miles ahead

Might be because a lot more native English people find their way to the CMS and EMU files.
Plus, there are English retros created by non-native English people, therefore there's more small English hotels out there.

The lack of updates on CMS and EMUs of the English hotels might just be because of the first reason I mentioned. People with a smaller developer background won't be able to keep their CMS and EMU as up-to-date and inovative as the foreign hotels, who most of the time have a better dev.

No if you look inside the Brazilian rooms (Habbo too) it is almost empty and filled with fake user

I guess it's just one of those things that has "always been". It's funny because I remember around 5 years ago I came across a Brazilian retro that was owned by a 12 year old, and he use to pay me to create him custom furniture SWFs from designs he had came up with and found online. While the hotel was slopped together with a wide range of security holes, it just raked in hundreds of twelvies. I never understood how they attracted so many players, but it could be due to the fact that computers were more accessible than consoles & it was free to play? Who actually knows. But majority of foreign hotels are put together so badly, I'm sure there's plenty around with security holes & XSS, etc.. I don't believe English hotels/Habbo in general will ever get back to the point it was back in the days, and eventually it will die off, sadly. While I would love to see Habbo become more successful, they're taken too many wrong turns and have lost a whole generation of players (such as myself) mainly due to the whole Casino ban. Each to their own opinion, but I've seen it all and the decline in members has been significant ever since such events (Merge, Mute, Casinos) It's interesting to come back to the section to see the development, but it's clearly not as active as it once was.
