Habbo Hotel is still a thing

[Cele]

Not sure if it's just me but... I was surprised to see that Habbo is still online?

Regular Habbo has multiple language servers, though it looks like instead of the browser it now runs in a program. In addition to that, on Steam there is Habbo Hotel: Origins which is a recreation of Habbo how it was in 2005.

This game has some amazing pixel art items.

Yeah i work at a habbo agency rn. Its nice, it's like a little village of people from all over the world! I have a friendship that's lasted for years over there!

We are still active, and we still organize community events.

Oh neat! Is the Pool still closed? /j

Tangentially related, but Are there any open source/self hostable chatroom games like this? I feel like that could be an interesting niche for the Indie web to fill.

Cool! I participated in a Pride thing and got a badge, I'm kinda liking it ngl. I also really like its "rare" type pixel art like this mini-sauna:

I thiiiiink that the room with the pool is not a thing anymore in the web version? :') But it is in Origins

I never heard of this and have only become aware of it recently. Neopets ran a promotion where you could convert your pet's appearance to the pixelated "Habbo style". It honestly looked pretty cute and more appealing than the default pixelated look of pets that were painted with the 8-Bit Paintbrush. I have an 8-Bit Jubjub and wanted to convert him to Habbo style but they didn't offer it for that species.

Habbo hasn't been the same since Quackity stopped raiding it... I can't beleive he sold out and became a Minecraft-Tuber. (￢︿̫̿￢ )

I decided to try this out because I never really played it as a kid. I like the general idea of a chatroom game still, but I can't really find a room where I actually gel with the group. Do you have any recommended rooms? Or is there a Melonland room?

  I never played Habbo Hotel, and only know what it is because of the Whang! video about it, but it feels like the kind of thing I could get into if I knew there would be people I could chill with there, I'd actually love to try it.

  Woooooooow, idk if its just something the Habbo servers are dealing with right now or what, but nothing is working rn. I tried about 6 times to verify my email with the code they sent me and it just doesn't recognize it even when I copy and paste it directly. And then unfortunately, I had to make an account with google, and it worked, but then when I tried to make an avatar, it encountered an error.  Its pretty borked.

Does that Habbo Origins game have monetisation? Habbo was my first real foray into the interwebs and I'd love to revisit it at times, but not if I still have to deal with the currency and buying furniture. I burned through enough of my mom's phone credit back in the day, not doing that again.
