Get This Party Started

This big Habbo Hotel just got even bigger!

After months of waiting and weeks of anticipation, the Habbo.com and Habbo.ca hotels have finally become one! The biggest reward from the merging of the two hotels is simple...more Habbos, more friends and more fun.

It's the first time in Habbo history where two hotels have merged and we're so anxious to meet and greet everyone.That being said, we've decided to throw a big 'ol party over the weekend!

HABBO STAFF ROOM RUMBLE

Design your own Welcoming Party room and invite all your old and new Habbo friends. Tag your room with the wordparty and Habbo Staff just might visit!

We'll be roaming around a bunch of the rooms on the floor from 4PM ET / 1PM PT, Friday May 8th. If you're being an excellent host and have a bunch of Habbos in your room, we might drop off something nice for ya...

ONE BIG HOTEL ROOM COMPETITION

Design a room around the theme mentioned in the previous event, A Welcoming Party. The goal is to have an amazing looking room, jam packed with as many Habbos as possible! Snap a screenshot of your room and be sure to have the room widget showing for the name/description.

Send the screenshot to competitions.us@sulake.com with your Habbo name and subject line, Big Hotel Room Comp. Deadline for this competition is Monday, May 11th @ 9am PT. Winners will receive the Golden Duck Badge for their friendly efforts.

What are you waiting for! There's now thousands of more Habbos to chat, trade, chill, play games and make friends with...get crackin'!

PS. The party screenshot can be taken at any point from now till the deadline, it doesn't have to happen during the time when Staff are walking around.

Two Became One!

Our Hotels are one and we are excited to have everyone under one roof at last!

We are one step further on the path to a bigger, better future of more friends and more fun! You will notice that upon arrival,you received a gift from us - a Travel Trunk to bring with you your fun memories of the past into the future!

.. and two badges! One to represent your point of origin, and one to represent the new friendships you will forge :)

If your badges don't appear at first, open the gift box then reload the Hotel!

This is a Habbo first, so we feel it is only appropriate that we celebrate the successful union of our two Hotels! Later today we will announce the Party Floor (with surprise Staff visits, so have your party rooms ready) and a fun get-to-know-each-other competition.

So for now, just hang tight and get ready to mingle!

PLEASE NOTE:

* Got the wrong names and descriptions for some of your badges? Fret not, it should be fixed within a day or two!

* You might not have access to your mini-mail archives. You can still create and send new mini-mails, though. Rest assured, archives will return.

* CA Group Pages have not yet been migrated. Or Tech Staff are working on it, but it might take a couple of weeks.

Should you have any questions about this, please read through these FAQs. If your question is not answered there, you can post it in this thread. Should you be experiencing any problems that you think are due to the merge, please use the Help Tool.

Vote for your Global Runway Favorite!

Who will end up at the judges' table? It is up to the Habbos of the world to decide. Yup, that includes you!

During the Global Voting, each Habbo Hotel will be asked to vote for their favorite design, however, no Hotel will be able to vote for their own community's finalist. So, when you don't see the excellent CA or US winning entries in our poll, don't be alarmed, it's the same deal everywhere!

We got another message from Miley Cyrus, so check out what she has to say below, then...

GO VOTE!

And again, a big shout out to our finalists,Funie from the US and hooty-pooty from CA - good luck both!

COM + CA Poll Results

Find out more about the Furni compensation program, which items will be compensated, and what the weekend poll showed.

First of all, thank you for responding to our latest poll about the merge!

We are really happy to see that the general attitude towards the merge has improved quite a lot since the first poll we did in March. The numbers are looking more and more positive, and 41% of you even said that you are looking forward to the merge more now than when it was announced.

As promised, we randomly picked 100 Habbos that all received a duck as a thank you for responding, so check your inventory to see if you got one!

Since so many of us are eagerly waiting for the merge to happen, the techies are obviously working extra hard dotting all the Is and crossing all the Ts (you don't want to know what they're doing to the Ws, trust us).

RARE FURNI COMPENSATION
In other news, as promised, we have gone through and analyzed the item values in the five Hotels that are merging, to find out whether there will be any issues. What we're seeing when comparing between the new Big Hotel and the current Hotels, is:

1) Some items will raise in value,
2) Some item values will not change significantly, and
3) Some items will drop in value.

The #1 and #2 type items will not be a problem to anyone, but since we want to keep all our players happy we've created a list of items which will be most likely to drop. For each one of these items, the owner of the item will get a special compensation item, so you might want to keep the item rather than trade it.

(For those technically inclined, the method used to check the change in value is comparing the amount of items of each type that are in circulation in relation to how many active traders exist in each of the current Hotels, versus the final merged Hotel, and calculating the relative change in item scarcity, and applying that change into the recent aftermarket trade value of the item.)

The items that will receive a compensation are all listed below. If your item is not listed, we're expecting its value will roughly stay the same, or even raise in value.

US and CA Habbos will receive compensation gifts immediately when the merge happens, and we'll post more details on when the rest of the world will receive theirs in upcoming days...

Your Thoughts on New HC

After the recent VIP upgrade, we are curious to know what you think!

A couple of weeks ago, we completely revamped Habbo Club. New Furni, clothes, hair, colors, layouts, and a whole new VIP level.

If you have a couple of minutes, we would love to know what you think of the changes. You don't even have to be a Club member to respond.

Thank you!

Fashion 101

When it comes to haute couture, you know your stuff!

What was the real name of Coco Chanel, the French fashion entrepreneur, famous for her mens wear inspired fashion? Was it really Curly Sue? No, it was obviously Gabrielle Bonheur Chanel, as 75% of you knew very well.

As for the scary editor in The Devil Wears Prada, she could be none other than long time fashion staple, Anna Wintour, editor of Vogue.

Super model Kate Moss designed a line of cool fashion for less for Topshop in 2007, and has continued that relationship since - good news for fashionistas on a budget!

As for the daughter of a Beatle, that one was obviously Stella McCartney, whose father is Sir Paul McCartney.

All girls should have an LBD in their closet, for those cocktail nights or emergency dress-up moments. Speaking of course of the Little Black Dress.

Then for the one you all knew, D&G is none other than Dolce & Gabbana.

And last, but not least, those coveted red soles are the brain child of designer Christian Louboutin, who got inspired by his assistant's fiery red nail polish!

These 10 randomly selected Habbos all got the questions right, and will receive a Purple Catwalk Chair and the Black Catwalk Block!

The Winning Entry is...

US Habbos have spoken, and we have a winning design that will go on to represent us in the global competition!

15 finalists, 13674 votes and only 1 winner. A winner that in the end had almost twice the amount of votes as number two. A clear favorite, in other words!

The designer that US Habbos chose to represent them in the Global competition is... *drum roll* .. Funie!

Congratulations!

Funie will win the second level Design badge, 6 items from the Runway line and a Trophy signed by Habbo Staff.

Funie will be representing the US in the global vote, competing against 15 other entries from around the world. The top three will go on to our table of judges, which includes Miley Cyrus, where one final winner will be chosen. That winner will then have his/her design made into real Habbo clothes for all to wear!

So keep your eyes on the Habbo Runway group page, the global poll will be announced later this week! In the mean time, take a few moments to answer our poll below!
