FONT PETITION!

![](archive:bring_back_volter_v4.png){.right}As you might have seen, Sulake decided to use a new, not-Habbolike font. As most people (including me) don't like this new font I decided to start a petition using Sulake's own feedback forum. #### **What? I don't understand!** Sulake is using a new font inside Habbo. A lot of people don't like this font. Using the Sulake feedback forum might be a way to get Sulake's attention so they'll change the font to the original Habbo Font: Volter (Goldfish). #### **Hmm.. I understand now.. ** This are two pictures of me inside my room. The first is with the new font, the second one is with the old font (I recreated). Decide which one you like the most. | [![](archive:thumbs/habbo_new_font.png)](/images/uploads/habbo_new_font.png) **NEW FONT** (U) {.center} | [![](archive:thumbs/habbo_old_font.png)](/images/uploads/habbo_old_font.png) **OLD FONT** (L) {.center} | | --- | --- | #### **I totally understand now! How can I help?** Please continue reading... ;-) #### **How to sign this petition:** 1. Login at [Habbo.com](http://www.habbo.com) 2.

If so, you can remove your votes as Sulake is looking into the idea. Continue untill you have enough votes.

More info about Dutch mods

Hi! About two weeks ago I recieved an e-mail from an anonymous sender. Today I received a new e-mail which contains more information. Some of this information is **not confirmed or false**. - Dutch mods will be replaced by people in Puerto Rico. Sulake took over a company in Puerto Rico which will deliver Dutch people for a lower price. (Sounds a bit weird, we should/could/can see if Sulake bought a company there..) - There are 4 Mods in Habbo NL with a flexible contract. These 4 will still till the end of their contract. (We have some ideas who those 4 mods are). - The Mods will not receive any gifts inside (in-game items will influence the Habbo economy..) or outside Habbo, also no message at the Habbo Homepage. Habbo does not tell us the Mods are leaving but they do tell us when there is new Staff. - There are Mods who depend on Habbo, mostly because of personal/health problems. They can't get an other job within a month. Sulake knew for a long time they would replace the Mods, but didn't announce it until the last moment. Again, nothing is confirmed. It would be helpful if someone knows the company Sulake bought or hired. If you find it, please leave a comment. - Mark

DUTCH MODS FIRED

Hi! just received an anonymous e-mail from someone claiming all Dutch moderators will be **fired** at the first of May. We already knew that there were some mods from Singapore in Habbo.nl. All Dutch mods received a phone call from Marion S./Jet, hotel manager of Habbo.nl. Mods with a temporary contract will stay till it ends, mods with an permanent contract will be fired. It is not confirmed and I will update this article when it is. #### So I would like to take the opportunity to thank all the Dutch mods I've ever met and talked to. I hope you will find new work soon. Looks like it's all about the money.. Mark

Sulake - CTO & CEO

Sulake's CTO, Osma Ahvenlamp,i and Sulake's CEO, Timo Soininen, wrote some stuff on Sulake.com in the last 2 days. What do you think? **Habbo Hotel's Record Year 2010 in numbers Tuesday, Jan 4, 2011 / Writer: Osma Ahvenlampi, CTO** *The year 2010 was a special one for Habbo Hotel as last summer we turned 10 years old. That's a respectable age for an online games product, but, we believe, only a nice beginning for our Habbo community of player-created games, activities and entertainment, as Habbo Hotel continues to grow. To mark an end to the anniversary year, we looked up some total figures, below. Peak monthly active users, MAU: 8.7 million (December 2010, MAU=users who log in at least once a month), out of over 42.5 million unique active player characters (habbos) over the whole year, and 199 million ever registered. Most of these activities happen on the stand-alone habbo.com and our local sister sites such as the Spanish-language habbo.es, though the Facebook applications also are a popular access point at 2.6M MAU (out of the total above). Habbo Hotel's core audience is a relatively narrow teen demographic segment: according to Facebook Insights statistics, 51% of our users are 13-17 years old, with a further 30% falling into 18-24 segment. Total time spent: 400 million hours played over the entire year. 16.5 million users spent over 10 hours each, and an average paying user spent 93 hours playing with their friends or creating new experiences, many of them exceeding even this number by a large margin. The most active thousand players had Habbo Hotel on their computers 10 hours per day all through the year. Virtual items exchanged between users: 1.4 billion, about five times as many as bought from the game catalog over the year. The player-to-player marketplace is a core piece of Habbo Hotel's unique atmosphere, and many of the most popular player-created spaces are dedicated to item trading. Average revenue per paying user: over 22€. As Habbo is free-to-play, most players do not spend money in the service. Those who do, use it primarily in order to create custom content, spaces and activities for their friends and other players. In exchange, they gather fame, respect and experience of hosting events - or simply enjoy the rich customization available through the for-pay virtual goods. 75% of all paying users find this enjoyable enough to choose to buy again at a later stage. Payment options range from 1€ one-time SMS messages to monthly credit card subscription packages.* **Habbo virtual goods sales hit all-time high in December Wednesday, Jan 5, 2011 / Writer: Timo Soininen, CEO** *I am very pleased to announce that last December was the best month of Habbo Hotel ever in user metrics but also in terms of revenue: Habbo's December user revenue was 4.5M€ ($6M) from virtual goods only. Full year 2010 was also the best ever both in user metrics and in revenue: Habbo user revenue in 2010 grew by around 25% vs 2009. For a snapshot of pretty impressive 2010 Habbo annual metrics please see our CTO's earlier blogpost. As the Habbo Hotel product is in great shape and we have pretty exciting new things and improvements coming out this year, we expect to grow our revenue in 2011 at the same pace and to further improve the company's profitability. Habbo Hotel is all about users and their creativity. So, a humble Thank You to all our loyal Habbo users from all over the world - you guys make Habbo the great place it is!*

The return of....

Hi guys! I've heard some rumors that Habbo.ru will return at the 14th of February (the Russian Hotel closed in February 2009). A few weeks ago, Habbo.ru redirected to Habbo.com. Now it gives the old error page. The populair network VKontakte.ru created a group for the Russian Habbo which tells the new server is being set-up now. The site will open around February 14th and will have a whole new team. We don't know how much of this is true, but time will tell. Mark [small]*Source: dirol via e-mail*[/small]
