Arcane Rares and Infobuses

[tpittman-11]

I came across an archive of old habbo.ca articles from 2008 and these particular ones caught my eye. Unfortunately the actual content of them were not accessible. Though these articles were posted at roughly the same time the Zon was added into the furnidata, making it more likely that it had something to do with this campaign.

However I did manage to find some exact details about this on a Spanish fansite. Apparently you were given a Green Parasol if you bought a $10 Habbo Scratch Card (worth 50 credits) from EB Games between 19th - 25th May. So you were right, that they originated from a forgotten credit promotion over 6 years ago - they just must have given out the wrong parasol for a very short time by accident.

Mystery solved! :-)

I knew my memory wasn't completely shot as of yet! Glad I could be of assistance man.

After some more hunting I found the content of the two articles I mentioned in my previous post.

EB Games Parasol Alert!

As many of you already noticed, there was something off with the Green Parasol! Sooo.. what say ye about getting an ORANGE one?

We were thinking, that instead of waiting around for the techies to fix the issues with the green parasol, we would simply hand out the orange one instead!

So if you want an Orange Parasol, you know what to do!

... check out this article right here >> (Links to above article)

Came across this old fansite news page from 2003 with images of a white parasol. There are also some other interesting articles about other rares being released at the time. I believe this is from Habbo UK.

Amazing that it has survived there for all those years. Good find.

Finding old websites would be a real insight and really help improve the content on the wiki. I might have a search later.

I wish I could remember all the things from Habbo I did 10 years ago!
