[h3]Hello, Habbos![/h3][p]On Monday January 19th, we’ll be asking Habbo Hotel: Origins players to approve the introduction of non-tradable Creator Community trophies to the game via an InfoBus poll.[/p][p]These trophies would be awarded only to approved Creator Community members who create social media content about Habbo and Habbo Hotel: Origins.[/p][p]The poll will last one week, closing on Monday January 26th.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]What is the Creator Community?[/h3][p]The Creator Community is an invite-only programme for players who regularly create social media content about Habbo.[/p][p]Members can complete monthly platform-specific bounties (for example, reaching a set number of views on X, Twitch, or other platforms). Completing these bounties can earn a non-tradable Creator Community trophy.[/p][p]These rewards already exists in Habbo. This vote is about whether Creator Community trophies should also exist in Habbo Hotel: Origins given we have a bunch of very talented creators that focus on the game.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]What exactly are you voting for?[/h3][p]The question will be: "Shall we add prizes for Creator Community members as shown in the article?"[/p][p]A YES vote means:[/p]

• [p]Non-tradable Creator Community trophies will be introduced to Habbo Hotel: Origins[/p]
• [p]These trophies will only be obtainable by Creator Community members[/p]
• [p]Trophies cannot be traded, sold, or transferred[/p]

[p]A NO vote means:[/p][p]Creator Community trophies will not be added to Habbo Hotel: Origins[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]Why are we repolling this?[/h3][p]We ran a similar poll last year, which was rejected. Since then, we’ve spoken with players and believe the original proposal may not have been fully understood.[/p][p]The Creator Community programme has also evolved, and the Origins community has changed. We want to check whether opinions have shifted now that the proposal is clearer.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][h3]FAQ[/h3][p]Previously the proposal included up to 50 credits for bounties. Is this still part of the proposal?[/p][p]No. This proposal does not include credits. Creator Community bounties in Habbo Hotel: Origins would only award non-tradable trophies.[/p][p]If a Creator Community member gets a trophy, would they get it in both Habbo AND Habbo Hotel: Origins? Or just in one game?[/p][p]We'd provide a voucher code that could be redeemed in either game. It would only be redeemable once.[/p][p]Can I join the Creator Community?[/p][p]Right now, it's an invite-only programme. That being said, we're always on the look out for social media content creators so make sure to tag us on X @HabboOrigins. There's also a good chance we'll open up applications again in the future, but this is not yet confirmed.[/p][p][/p][hr][/hr][p]When the InfoBus arrives, take a moment to read the question and vote however feels right to you. As always, we’ll listen and respect the result.[/p][p]Thanks![/p]

[p]Hey everyone,[/p][p]Today we’re rolling out Habloons, a brand-new Habbo Club only currency, now live across the Hotel. This is one of the biggest updates we’ve shipped in a while, and it lays the foundation for a more player-driven economy going forward.[/p][p]What’s launching today is Phase 1 of Habloons. Some parts you’ve seen discussed before, some have evolved based on feedback, and a few ideas (like Noco’s Buyback) didn’t make the cut after the vote. Marketplace support will arrive later as Phase 2.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]What Are Habloons?[/h3][p][/p][p]Habloons are a Habbo Club exclusive currency designed to sit alongside Credits and Stamps, not replace them.[/p]

• [p]HC members can exchange Credits → Habloons at a 1:1 rate (Example: 50 Credits → 50 Habloons)[/p]
• [p]Habloons can be used by HC members to:[/p]
  • [p]Mint Habloon Furni[/p]
  • [p]Pay for HC-only room and business features[/p]
  • [p]Can be converted back into credits![/p]

[p]Stamps are unchanged and remain the currency you earn through gameplay, used for clothing, Short Stay furni, and similar rewards.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🪙 Habloons, Credit Furni Returns[/h3][p]Using Habloons, HC members can now mint a new family of credit-style furniture:[/p]

• [p]Bronze Habloon - 1 Habloon[/p]
• [p]Silver Habloon - 5 Habloons[/p]
• [p]Golden Habloon - 10 Habloons[/p]
• [p]Sack of Habloons - 20 Habloons[/p]
• [p]Habloon Bar - 50 Habloons[/p]

[p]These behave similarly to classic credit furni, with a few important differences:[/p]

• [p]Tradable by any player like normal furniture[/p]
• [p]Redeemable into Habloons by HC members only[/p]
• [p]Can be kept forever as decorative items if you choose not to redeem them[/p]

[p]This allows Habloons to move freely between players as furni, while keeping redemption controlled.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🔁 Habloons → Credits (HC-only, with limits)[/h3][p]HC members can convert some of their Habloons back into Credits via the Habbo Exchange:[/p]

• [p]HC-only conversion[/p]
• [p]33% hotel cut (Example: 3 Habloons → 2 Credits)[/p]
• [p]Weekly cap: up to 500 Credits per HC account[/p]

[p]This means being good at trading or running rooms can earn you a meaningful amount of Credits each week, while keeping the system sustainable long-term.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🛡️ Account Standing , Why It Exists[/h3][p]Account Standing wasn’t part of the original poll, but it was added deliberately.[/p][p][/p][p]It exists to protect the economy from abuse (such as chargebacks, mule accounts, and rapid cycling) and to ensure Habloons remain fair and sustainable over time. For most normal, active players, day-to-day gameplay shouldn’t feel any different.[/p][p]What this means in practice:[/p]

• [p]You can see your standing tier and daily credit-furni trade limit in the client[/p]
• [p]Daily limits scale with your standing (your exact limit is shown)[/p]
• [p]Accounts need a recent paid transaction (older than 7 days, but within the last year) to purchase credit furni[/p]
• [p]Some newer or limited accounts may receive temporarily account-bound credit furni after a trade[/p]
  • [p]You can place and decorate your room with it[/p]
  • [p]You can’t trade, or redeem it until the timer expires[/p]
• [p]Once the timer ends the Habloon furniture will behave as normal.[/p]

[p]These are guardrails, not punishments. If you’re playing normally, you’ll likely only notice this as extra information in the UI.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🎣 Fishing Derby Update[/h3][p]We’ve made an important fairness change to the Fishing Derby:[/p]

• [p]Automated Hotel events now only count activity in Public Rooms[/p]

[p]Fishing in private rooms is naturally faster due to reduced movement. This change helps level the playing field for everyone.[/p][hr][/hr][h3]🌍 Localization Improvements[/h3]

• [p]Localized NPC chatter for Clea[/p]
• [p]Localized game notifications and updates for Fishing Derby[/p]
• [p]Fixed furniture descriptions for:[/p]
  • [p]Polar Sofa[/p]
  • [p]Crime Divider[/p]
  • [p]Chalk Outline[/p]
  • [p]Bullet Hole[/p]
  • [p]Executive Teleporter[/p]
  • [p]Executive Ice Cream Maker[/p]
  • [p]Holo-Duck[/p]
  • [p]Clea’s Quackpiece[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]🧭 Smarter Recommended Rooms[/h3][p]We’ve improved the algorithm behind Recommended Rooms:[/p]

• [p]Empty or inaccessible rooms should no longer appear[/p]
• [p]Recommendations now focus on rooms that actually make sense to visit[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]🔥 Hotfixes[/h3][p]We’ve improved the algorithm behind Recommended Rooms:[/p]

• [p]Resolved an issue which made it impossible to place furniture in rooms.[/p]
• [p]Corrected the placement of the Bronze Habloon Coin in small rooms.[/p]
• [p]Resolved an issue preventing the release of the Executive Yukka.[/p]
• [p]Resolved an issue which caused the catalogue to show an error about a lack of credits, when it was missing Habloons causing the issue.[/p]

[hr][/hr][h3]What’s Next?[/h3]

• [p]Marketplace support for Habloons is planned as Phase 2[/p]
• [p]We’ll be closely monitoring trade behaviour, conversion usage, and Account Standing thresholds[/p]
• [p]Adjustments will be made as needed based on real usage and feedback[/p]

[p]This is a big step, and we appreciate everyone who voted, discussed, and challenged us along the way. Habloons open up a lot of future possibilities — and this is just the beginning.[/p][p]See you in the Hotel,
— Dave[/p]

[h2]🦆 Celebrating Rubber Duck Day![/h2][p]It’s Rubber Duck Day in the Hotel, and we’re marking the occasion with a brand-new, Hotel-wide activity that’ll have you exploring, competing, and quacking to everything in sight.[/p][p]Start by chatting to your ducks — they’ll each reveal a piece of the Duck Hunt map. Once you’ve got your bearings, head out around the Hotel and take part in a range of activities to complete the map. That includes fishing, gardening, diving, BattleBall, Chess, Battleships, Wobble Squabble, and more.[/p][p]Complete the Duck Hunt map and you’ll earn yourself a shiny Holo Duck.[/p][p]While you’re at it, make sure you stop by the Library to meet the Hotel’s newest artist, Clea. She’s taken a particular interest in the Holo Duck… and may have something lined up that you’ll want to keep an eye on.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]🎣 Introducing Fishing Derby[/h2][p]We’ve added a brand-new competitive game mode to the Hotel: Fishing Derby.[/p][p]Fishing Derby runs every 4 hours, at 30 minutes past the hour, with a 10-minute registration period followed by a 15-minute Derby. Once it kicks off, it’s all about how many fish you can reel in before time runs out.[/p][p]During the Derby, you’ll receive periodic updates on how many fish you’ve caught, and once the event ends, you’ll be notified of your final position.[/p][p]This mode was inspired by Origins COM user BobEC. Soon, you’ll also be able to access Derby details via the Hotel API, letting you track events and see how you stack up against others who enjoy fishing together.[/p][hr][/hr][h2]🛠️ Update Notes[/h2][h3]🛒 Shop & Purchasing Improvements[/h3]

• [p]Teleports can now use the cart system and be purchased in bulk[/p]
• [p]Doormats can now use the cart system and be purchased in bulk[/p]

[h3]🧭 Events & Game Notifications[/h3]

• [p]Fixed the Event Bar notification for Ophelie’s Blessing — it now correctly shows a 60-minute duration instead of 10[/p]

[h3]🌍 Localization & Text Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Corrected character encoding issues in localized product texts for the Brazilian and Spanish catalogues[/p]
• [p]Fixed localizations for the Chess game within the Cunning Foxhall Games rooms[/p]
• [p]Added a missing localization for the Executive Globe product[/p]

[h3]🤖 Bots & Interface Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Bots will no longer send empty chat bubbles when they have nothing to say[/p]
• [p]Using backpack items on Fishopedia, EC Tokens, and Map Pieces will no longer open the unused “Use on Item” interface[/p]

[h3]🎨 Visual Fixes[/h3]

• [p]Fixed the palette for the Habloon Gold Bar[/p]
