The Habbolympics are officially open! Athletes and spectators assembled in the newly-added Power Gym and Habbo Stadium this morning to mark the beginning of the games alongside host WaltzMatilda.
While Waltz kept things moving stadium-side, gym attendees were greeted by another VIP: Lady Gaga. To some, this was a bigger event than the Habbolympics themselves – in the words of one overwhelmed fan: “ITS GAGAGJHDSKLFJSDFNBDSFfdsjkhfgklmds I CANTttttt”
The “No” side takes it! The results of the second Infobus poll were posted late this morning confirming that Funky Friday items are not eligible for re-release.
If you’ve been hunting for previously released Friday sale furni, then now is the time to make your trades: these items will not be returning to the catalogue.
In other Funky Friday news, the team is asking users to vote their preferred Plasto colour for tomorrow’s drop via the official Habbo X page. Green, red, beige, or yellow once again – go and make your pick!
Notice anything after this Tuesday’s hotel reboot?
If you answered “no”, then think again – the Infobus Park’s queue has been fenced in, and voters will be happy to hear the bus’ Pura Minibar is now operational!
Other fixes include functionality for the Scoreboard and Lert and major improvements to the camera and photo viewing. Time to get snapping —
Is the air a little hazy for anyone or is that just me? Origins’ very first Smoke Machine has made a big entrance in red and is available to purchase as of Tuesday morning.
The team noted that they’ll be experimenting with different pricepoints and durations going forward, so take advantage of the 35 credit sale while you can: this bad boy may leave in a puff of smoke at any time! †
Hot hands and warm hearts abound: the Habbolympic Torch Relay took place this morning beginning in the Welcome Lounge and continuing throughout various public rooms.
With several staff and myriad players in attendance, the relay was an event to remember! Users chanted in support of the event and began to build hype for the competition to come.
