Lets see what improvements Habbo Hotel introduces over time. The best way to go about this would be to make these updates more user centric, as in what users demand to see on the platform. With such advancement recently, the team has more to look forward to and work upon creating new features. Celebrating 200 million registrations is truly a milestone for us. It’s been a wonderful journey to see Habbo Hotel grow during the past 10 years from a small Finland-based virtual community to a service reaching millions of users every month worldwide. Timo Soininen, CEO of Sulake, the parent company of Habbo Hotel stated: On average the users spend over 22€ on virtual items throughout the year. Plays the game for 2h/week with some most active users registering over 10h/day usage.An average Habbo player is between 13-24 years old.Habbo Hotel’s annual user revenue grew by 25% compared to 2009.42.5 million out of them in 2010 alone.Here’s a breakup of Habbo Hotel’s recent successes: The growth has substantially increased since then with the next 100 million users being added in just 2 years. It has expanded to across 150 countries and hit 100 million users in 2008. Habbo Hotel was founded back in 2000 with the first community launched in Finland. Quite a news since its tenth anniversary. The world’s largest teen virtual community and social game, Habbo registered its 200 millionth user just with the start of January. But success is not stationary and it continues to move ahead.

Its pool and restaurant frequented with unthinking daily ritual by a handful of dying patrons who never left. The paint peeling off the ceiling, the corridors filled with piles of unused collapsible seats. I like to think that old hotel is still there, however, in a forgotten and rarely visited corner of the Habbo continent.

The realm of the Habbos still exists, but the “hotel” has been dropped from the name of the website. I was compelled simply by virtue of colour and affordability to check in to this cyber-labyrinth. Ultimately, I know not why the Habbos hotel. And to show those invisible friends my sweet new cool digital t-shirt. Maybe I wanted to make friends nobody else could see. You made a character, walked into the lobby, and explored the rooms and suites of other disgusting teenagers and kids. I live with the shame of being one of the Hotel’s previous guests. And as such, the perfect game for the unwell years of the 2000s. A game of dressing up in cool clothes and having shinier toys than your cyber-neighbour. It was a mostly innocent sorta-MMO about being a tiny lego-like person in a cartoon chatroom. I would like to say Habbo Hotel spread from school child to school child like a Flash-powered lice infection, until it nested in my own home computer, because that is a colourful metaphor that expresses my distrust of the sickly internet games that plagued my early teens. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
