Of all the rares to try and hide from a pack of sleuthing Habbos, the impressively-tall Blue Pillar would not be my first choice! Users found the rare at the end of a hunt beginning with a mysterious article posted this morning.

Following through a series of secret rooms (complete with kick war functionality †), users discovered clues written on sticky notes pointing toward a message displayed on the catalogue’s rare page.

Using this message to deduce the password to a room full of hidden treasure, the fastest users (jmlowsx, b0y, and belle) nabbed a Pillar of their own before they were released to the community for 50 credits each!

In an Origins first, sixteen helping hands (or would that be thirty-two?) have been appointed to their Hobba posts to act as community guides around the hotel.

The team also notes that it’s likely applications will re-open down the line. Check under the cut for a full list of initiates, and here’s to helping one another out ¶

Who needs one favourite programme when you can have twenty? Even the most avid of watchers have a chance to meet their television needs this Friday … in five vibrant and exciting colours no less ¬

Based on the classic red Portable TV, today’s sale marks the first time Funky Friday has visited the “Accessories” catalogue section. Coming in at six credits each, these are one of the lowest-priced offers yet. Don’t miss out!

It’s lean, it’s mean, it’s green, and it’s … askew!

The most beloved plant to never hit the middle of a floor tile has returned to our hotel as of this morning and Aloe Vera fever has hotel economists in a frenzy.

On sale through Friday, this classic will run you an easy fifty credits per plant and is ready for stacking, trading, and watering immediately following purchase. With enough time, this favourite will grow on just about anyone!

And just like that, the first tournament prizes have been unleashed on the hotel! As of early this afternoon, staff completed their vetting of the first Battleball tournament leaderboard and confirmed the final recipients of the Golden, Silver, and Bronze Dragon Lamps.

The voting public are a lot of things, but they’re certainly not yes men! For the second poll in a row, the “no” side has won out over its affirmative opponent and blocked the release of the user title feature.

W-what’s that? Oh yeah … it’s 50 credits … available for one day only … or whatever …

Who’s ready to fall asleep outside and get real, real sunburnt? This week’s rare brings the perfect spot to do just that as you watch summertime slip away: the very classic and much-beloved Hammock.

Kicking back on one of those bad boys will run you a cool fifty credits, but don’t delay – naptime will only last for the next seventy-two hours! Rest up and we’ll see you later this week for an all new Funky Friday ¶

Bouncers, step away from your balls! ¬

The first Battleball tournament has come to a close, and along with a prizeload of metal dragon lamps incoming to the top forty players, the team are discussing a few lessons they’ll carry forward for next time.

Aside from randomizing elements of the game to make it more unpredictable, staff seem keen to reduce the time commitment necessary to remain competitive the next time users deck it out on the Battleball field.

Mind stuck on the prizes? Though the competition is off, last minute tallies are still in progress, so hang tight and check back soon for the finalized list of winners!
