The paint peeling off the ceiling, the corridors filled with piles of unused collapsible seats.
I like to think that old hotel is still there, however, in a forgotten and rarely visited corner of the Habbo continent. But it is still free-to-play (and, it turns out, vulnerable to scammers). The suggestion is that this is now a whole world, not a single building.
HABBOON HOTEL MAKE FRIENDS FOR FREE
The realm of the Habbos still exists, but the “hotel” has been dropped from the name of the website. Check into Habboon, the worlds largest virtual retro hotel for FREE Meet and make friends, play games, chat with others, create your avatar, design rooms. I was compelled simply by virtue of colour and affordability to check in to this cyber-labyrinth. Ultimately, I know not why the Habbos hotel. And to show those invisible friends my sweet new cool digital t-shirt. Maybe I wanted to make friends nobody else could see. You made a character, walked into the lobby, and explored the rooms and suites of other disgusting teenagers and kids. I live with the shame of being one of the Hotel’s previous guests.
And as such, the perfect game for the unwell years of the 2000s. A game of dressing up in cool clothes and having shinier toys than your cyber-neighbour. It was a mostly innocent sorta-MMO about being a tiny lego-like person in a cartoon chatroom. I would like to say Habbo Hotel spread from school child to school child like a Flash-powered lice infection, until it nested in my own home computer, because that is a colourful metaphor that expresses my distrust of the sickly internet games that plagued my early teens. One a day, every day, perhaps for all time. Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives.
