Habbo Sweden offline for days Official

[asic]

They should probably merge the Scandinavian hotels to be honest, cut down on costs and boost user count.

I think that would decrease user count, a lot.
There is a possibility that they could merge all scandinavians hotel with .com.

Regarding the downtime: Maybe they just forgot to pay server bills? Their main ip was also down for a very long time.

Don't think they could forget their bills when they probably have a team that handle all bills and billing generally.

The domain was last modified 07.05.2013 so I guess that has something to do with the downtime.

It's habbo sweden, everything can happen. I bet they pay more than they earn..

It's not as though it's an individual company - and besides, losses on smaller hotels can be easily covered by the bigger ones.

That's like Habbo China, they closed due to bankruptcy.

Could very well happen. Who knows though.

Habbo China(as well as Russian) was closed because of the price supporting client. They had to recompile every new dcr/cct for supporting fonts + encoding problems.
Sweden hotel works fine with just a couple of managers, it won't be clever to close it.

There was also the problem that the developers who were on the Habbo China project were totally incompetent and unpatched all the major scripts (anything through packet smuggling - before China with signing items, on China with missions and names) by not filtering chr(1) pretty much everywhere. It can't have helped that almost no Chinese took it up and we were all on there scaring them half to death with alerts, bans, errors, people as pets etc!

 

[Bui]

Same with habbo.jp, I guess? They were open for longer than China.

 

[AluxH]

Habbo.JP was one of the first hotels to open up outside Finland/the UK, possibly the first dedicated hotel outside Europe...? It ran for quite a little while though, started in 03 and closed in 09 so not a bad run. I think this is a shot from the JP offices, it's been sitting on my HD too long to be sure though. DoCoMo (on his bag) are also a Japanese brand mind, so it's at most a trade show or someting in Japan

Habbo China was open for a year (06-07), though.

That homepage layout on the monitors looks familiar

The swedish hotel have no managers.

I believe that the long downtime of the Swedish server is another sign of Sulake starting to "give up" some of the servers. They might have forgotten to pay the server bills, or maybe they didn't have money for paying the bills? When the server only has around a hundred online per day, it becomes less cost efficient to run the server. Imagine all the work on maintaining their big-ass database which is probably many hundreds of gigabytes large. There was a time where people where talking about Sulake considering merging together all the servers to one big-ass server. I think this is something we will see in the near future due to their low user count. Sulake may be suffering from other problems as well (economic crisis in Europe, etc), but I don't want to make any suggestions on whether retros got anything to do with it or not.

Prob my fave homepage layout. Much better than the somewhat boring black and grey one but not overly complex like the new one. Plus plenty of community stuff like the weekly newsie.

I think that would be good actually, one great big hotel. One Habbo, loads of languages, it would be better than splitting users up based on language anyway. I know it's not everyones cup of tea but it would be great.

Imagine how much "dead" data they got in their databases (data nobody will never use), all those users someone created the day they released Habbo just to see how the game where and nobody will never access those users ever again. It is kind of funny to think of as the servers we see are turning into digital graveyards.

I'd prefer 2, Latino and English. There are more players on the latino hotels then all other languages put together I believe.

On the flip side though, lots of timeless rooms got lost with the .co.uk/.com merge. Personally I think the 06 clearout was a much better system - delete users who have not logged onto x, nor hold (or bought? possibly not held) any furni. Frees up squatters but doesn't delete the past.

Habbo.es = SPANISH
Habbo.se = SWEDISH

P.S Habbo ES has nearly 3x the amount of users that are on .com.
