Try one chat for your whole group for a week, wherever in the hotel each of you happens to be, then vote on whether it stays.
Until now, talking to your group meant standing in the same room. One of you is fishing, one is decorating, one is queueing for a game, and the conversation stops.
Hangouts fix that. A Hangout is a chat with a name. Start one, tell your group the name, and talk together from any room in the hotel.
We're starting a one week trial of Hangouts in Habbo Origins. In one week's time, we'll put them to a poll at the InfoBus Park, so you have time to use them before you vote on whether they stay.
💬 HOW IT WORKS
- Open the chat panel and choose the new Hangout tab.
- Start a hangout and give it any name you like, from 3 to 20 characters. Every Habbo can own one.
- To join someone else's, type its name and press Join. Anyone who knows the name can come in, friend or not.
- Type in the field at the bottom of the tab to talk. The Say bar still talks to the room you are in.
- Up to 100 Habbos can be in a hangout at once, and you can be in one hangout at a time.
You only see what is said while you are in the hangout. Nothing waits for you from before you joined, and nothing is delivered while you are offline. When you log back in, you walk straight back into the hangout you were in.
🚪 YOUR HANGOUT, YOUR RULES
The Habbo who starts a hangout owns it, and has a few simple tools to keep it friendly.
- Bouncers can remove someone from the hangout. A Habbo who is removed cannot come back for 60 minutes.
- Regulars can always talk, even when talking is restricted.
- Close the doors and nobody new can join. Your Bouncers and Regulars can still come and go.
- Restrict talking and only you, your Bouncers and your Regulars can talk. Everyone else can still read.
The owner gives and takes both roles from the People list, and can rename or delete the hangout at any time. A hangout keeps its name, its roles and its settings when everyone logs off.
🏨 TAKE IT WITH YOU
Pop the chat panel out into its own window and your hangout follows you out of the room and onto the hotel view. You can keep talking while you choose where to go next.
🚩 KEEP IT FRIENDLY
The Habbo Way applies in a hangout exactly as it does in a room. The same word filter and the same mutes apply. If someone crosses the line, select their line and press Report, and our moderators will see it together with the conversation around it.
🧪 THIS IS A TRIAL
Hangouts are open now on all three Origins hotels, for one week. To take part you need Keystone, which is open to everyone on Steam. Open the chat panel, choose the Hangout tab and start yours.
Please keep in mind that this is a trial. If the poll does not pass, Hangouts will be removed from Origins, along with every hangout started during the trial.
🗳️ HAVE YOUR SAY
In one week's time, we'll open a poll at the InfoBus Park on whether Hangouts stay in Origins. The same rules apply as in our previous InfoBus Polls:
- Voting is limited to Habbo Club members. This helps reduce alt account abuse and keeps results focused on active members of the community.
- Each question needs a minimum 70% approval rating to pass, and each question is counted separately.
- Votes from all three hotels are counted together.
- The poll stays open for one week.
We'll share the questions and the dates before the poll opens. Until then, start a hangout, bring your group and tell us what you think.
