Now that it's summer I have time to waste on Habbo(x) but unfortunately there is no events to play! This has been a problem for a while now and if Habbox is ever going to become relevant again, success with events on the game is key to regrowth!
These are the events that are VERY popular for other fansites and Habbox should also host on a regular basis - feel free to suggest more!
- Danger Zone. VERY popular and has a very good following - often see many familiar faces at various fansite Danger Zones
- Danger Pod.
- (Banzai) Bank Game.
- Heaven or Hell - quite boring imo but seems very popular!
- Majority Rules
- The Dictator
- The Mole
- Attack
- Fridge Game
- Grocery List
- Races (e.g. flower cart race, fridge race)
- Balloon Game
As you can see a lot of these events have unlimited amount of players and are wired events - more people playing, longer ppl stick around, more promo!
- Habbox should also come up with a few "unique" events that other fansites don't host. E.g. Expling is making a Base Wars, which, even though isn't a new game invented by Habbox no other fansite hosts it! HabboCreate hosts 'Hole in the Wall' quite often and it's always popular but always in the same room and always gd fun!
- As the events timetable is nearly always empty, when booking events it should try to be done so the events are right next to eachother so that players can go through a tele into the next game instead of having to search for it or just going to a different fansite. If nothing is booked for next hour and there is staff or trusted users about then just ask them to host in a pre-made room and drop a tele to next event.
- Also, have a quick glance at what other fansites are hosting during the hour you want to host... it's more beneficial to host different events than both hosting Danger Zone at the same time! For example yesterday after HBC finished Danger Zone the Habbox one filled up immediately!
- As I mentioned above, for now at least when there are no event staff, it may be a good idea to just let casual Habboxers host events in managements event rooms rather than becoming event staff and goign through an app. Yesterday I hosted for like 3 hours and it went well and I'm not even events staff! If the timetable is empty people shouldn't need to worry about waiting for it to be approved - just host it and add the event at a later time.
Other small things
- AFK seats, just to keep maximum people in the room
- LARGE EVENT ROOMS WITH NO LINES UNLESS NECESSARY - can be underwhelming to see small event rooms (e.g. when like 30 people went through tele to telephrase from danger zone yday hardly many stayed - room was tiny compared to DZ)
- Boppers so you can tele people out of games instead of kicking (keep this away from other ppl so trolls like me can't block it)
- For HxL maybe it would be nice to have a DJ area in event rooms to highlight the fact there is a radio to tune in - was hard to see what @Gina; was saying during Danger Zone because it was so busy
- Most people are online in the evenings (UK time) so that would be a good time for now to host lots of events in a row
- Prize should be 3c minimum.... maybe 2c.......but 3c is better
- Try to get new event staff to bring their friends with them to join too
- Ban unpopular events during busy hours/inbetween busy events unless no one is hosting absolutely anything
- Let people host at any time if there is no event on rather than at the start of the hour
- Room names really don't need the time in them, [Habbox] Event Name is fine (put things like ffccgiveawayfridge at the end if space and make use of room tags)
- Wired messages for promo for all aspects of site
- And lastly if Habbox events is to be a success it requires a community effort - even if you hate events just go to them and watch and tune in and if you're bored instead of staring at yourself in HxHD host an event in yours or someone elses room
