Habborator Fact sheets

Welcome to the dull pages, tables with all kind of things you didn’t want to know in the first place. Or maybe you do want to know; loads of people collect all these tiny facts, so we figured we’d present them in a neat fashion. Look and feel of this section is obviously inspired by 2007 redesign of the Sulake homepage.

These pages are in no way finished (and will never be), you’ll find gaps, and there might even be errors - when in doubt, we still added stuff, but most is correct, we believe. Anyway, to even come close to being a secure source of dull facts, we ask for your help. Spot those gaps/errors, and help us fill them. If you have any information, , like the friendly people below:

Contributors (thank you !):

Ever wondered who were the first users in your hotel ?! It seems you’re not alone, it’s been a hot topic on forums for a long time. Nowadays, easy to find, but it didn’t use to be that way. !! Warning !! This is de-mystifying for any hotel created after hotel Canada (may 2004), and in general, not as hot a topic as people assume it to be (prepare to be disappointed).

Before v11/Habbo homes arrived, it used to be the ‘home phone’ credit code form that revealed the secret (not all hotels have this available). You’d enter your Habbo name and get the code to transfer credits to. That 8-digit code actually shows you where you stand in Habbo history. If you enter ‘Apparatus’ (alias of one of Habbo’s founders) on the UK form, you’ll get “00000009” - Apparatus was the 9th registered user in UK.

Ofcourse, this was guessing and checking if usernames ranked high. Helpful was the fact that if you use the search (for rooms) inside the navigator, and only enter ‘ ’ (a space), you’ll get a list of the first 50+ rooms inside the hotel (note: with introduction of v19 search got improved and this does not work anymore). Lots of hotels have the same room first created: “Kämp” owned by Whatwasit. If usernames were present, they were entered into the credit form, and put into lists if ranking high.

With the release of personal Habbo homepages, there is now a much more easy trick to uncover the full list. Just look at this URL, Apparatus again. Change the number and the homes corresponding to the users will tell all:

http://www.habbo.co.uk/home/9/id

Alright, now lets blow this bubble, a little. Lists are there, does this mean those were the first people walking around ? No. Lots of the newer hotels were created with files from older hotels. Which explains those first rooms usually have an “Oh Canada!” owned by Becs in the list (description: first room created in Canada…), and “Habbo Spain” owned by arturo, and “kontrollihuone” (owner hidden). Not really created, just an older hotel partly copied to the new one. Any hotel created after hotel Canada has the same first users, it seems new hotels are build on some template created right after launch of this hotel. Another thing is, also for earlier hotels, most of these were test accounts, never used later on; not that interesting…

Anyway, here’s the lists, first 25, sometimes with information on those first Habbo’s (hover the marked ones (oh, for the record, pictures are no real screenshots, we didn’t meet them in person)). If you can’t be bothered, we extracted the essentials.

Since we explored these numbers anyway, may we jump to some conclusions ?! You’ll roughly see 5 groups:

  1. There's a group of 10+ people who are obvious technical staff from Finland. Same ‘names’ keep coming back. You can’t assume these are all real people, same person might create multiple accounts. There’s only a few we have little detail about. Besides the marked ones note among returning names are (variations of) (d)(a)(r)ken (mucho huuhaa in missions and rooms), andeK, James, Marion, jormaollila, Loistovaanija, Paolo, arturo, soo9 and -arik-;
  2. In a couple of hotels you see staff from older hotels being invited to test, most obviously Dreamwalker and bloeki from Swiss hotel (note to self: Darkmind is old Swiss staff too) in Italy and Germany;
  3. There’s a bunch of obvious test accounts, never to be used again;
  4. Local staff doesn’t always make it into first 25 (or, not visibly), but in a couple of hotels you can see they were involved in an early stage;
  5. And, last, there’s accounts created to prevent future users to take those names. ‘Moderator’ and ‘Admin’ are obvious. The German hotel staff has been very ‘gründlich’ in this respect; registering ‘Berlusconi’ at Italian hotel is funny (and could just be a joking test account).

Where do our international hotels stand re: the Sulake release schedule - for those that find this kind of information entertaining ;). Hover your mouse over them blocks to get a release date, if available (DD-MM-YY).

We have our 19 hotels, but there’s more domains, linking to a hotel that uses same language. Like the Brazilian hotel is also Portuguese hotel - or vice versa… for the record, the full list. Some domains are plain redirects ( - addressbar shows url of hotel it’s redirected too), some domain homepages behave like just like a seperate website ( - addressbar keeps showing the alternate domain, though same files are loaded). Oh, and Sulake has some more domains available.

* Argentina and Morocco are mentioned as local communities on the Sulake homepage, yet no specific url/link is specified at Sulake homepage. What Sulake means when saying there’s a local community (*credit to Star-Fighter) is not equal to having a seperate hotel, or a redirect. Their definition of a local community is there’s local payment options available.

Sulake has quite a lot more domains registered, either as a precaution for possible future use, or in some cases, there might be actual plans for launching a new hotel (Korea and South Afrika are being mentioned most) or setting up another redirection. No way of telling, but this is what's found so far. Some will get you a ‘Speednames’ page, which is the company Sulake uses to register domains, others will simply redirect to the .com domain (but just because it’s the most common domain, no way Greek users would be best of there for instance…).

Note we only included one link with ‘habbohotel’ instead of ‘habbo’ inside the url (there are/used to be more). Sulake made the switch to the shorter version, and we count on possible older domains registered that don’t have a short version by now indicate plans have changed. In our view, the lack of a working/registered “http://www.habbo.ro/” domain means we won’t see a Romanian hotel soon…

Yay (!), another list, this time to hold all the little trivial and fluffy facts that don’t have a place elsewhere, but are fun to know anyway ;). It’s hardly filled at the moment, we’ll work on that.

Australia
First hotel with the new X’s setup (subgroups/teamleaders).
Brazil
With Sweden the only hotel with a temporary experimental (and very orange) homepage design;
Moderators in Brazil do not have the ‘MOD-’ prefix as usual, but have ‘MOD_’.
Canada
Shares (part of) staff with US hotel, and has lots of same campaigns.
China
In beta stage, Chinese hotel consisted of two hotels, one for Beijing, one for Shanghai (two languages), seperate hotel views, seperate furniture/rooms, but one account would work on both hotels;
The only hotel with localized staff and HC badges, in a directory seperated from the other hotels;
Hotel closed, August 2007, reasons unknown.
Denmark
The office in Copenhagen also serves as the office for Norwegian and Swedish hotel.
Finland
First hotel, and often the first to receive updates.
France
Was the first hotel to receive v9;
Replaced (fired) their mods with SOS’s, supposedly less repressive and said to be cheaper cause working from Tunesia, Northern Africa. Also said to be bots, and much complained about.
Germany
Best voted fansite worldwide, HabboTimes, is German.
Italy
Management is notorious for displaying unreleased furniture in rooms (gotta love it ;).
Japan
In many cases the last to receive updates;
But catalogue always well filled (lots of things that are seasonal/on occasion elsewhere);
Moderators in Japan have the prefix ‘MOD☆’;
The best alteration artist worldwide in our view, satoh-teki, is Japanese;
And last, something in Japanese culture that makes staff not add “Exchange” to catalog (while newer updates are there) ?
Netherlands
Hotel is a joint venture with TTG;
Held current record of most Habbo’s online at same time, 17.000+ (2006), Spain took over.
Norway
Was the first hotel to receive v7;
Lost its office and staff in 2007, now controlled from Copenhagen, Denmark.
Russia
Locked for a long while, now open.
Spain
Covers, after China, largest area (of Spanish speakers) worldwide;
Holds records of most Habbos online at same time: March 2008: 31.500+, July 2008: 34.000+;
Only hotel where the voting widget for habbo homes is for all players (not just HC members).
Singapore
Fansites get to fill large parts of newsletter with their content.
Sweden
First to get an experimental and very orange homepage design, more webstandards based, but losing it (only Brazil got it too, but both are gone now) from a more ‘boxed’ approach;
Was the first hotel to receive navigator as we know it (categorized guest rooms), release 8 and also the first with HabboX’s;
First to get the Mobile shop.
Lost its office and staff in 2007, now controlled from Copenhagen, Denmark;
New (check: gone again) hotel manager BozzaNova aims for title of showcasing most unreleased rare pieces of furniture.
Switzerland
Third hotel, used to be known as a place where a lot of banned UK members met eachother;
…and by massive releases of rare furniture;
Now run from the German office, all original staff left.
United Kingdom
Second hotel around, up to its 4th Hotel Manager;
Used to have the ‘.com’ url, before US and Canadian hotel were created;
First to get the current homepage, and pilot hotel for v17 and onwards.
USA
Shares (part of) staff with Canadian hotel, and has lots of same campaigns.

Lots of you find this interesting, and, like the Sulake website says, “tend to treat Habbo staff members (…) as celebrities, often creating rooms in their honour and sending them gifts at Christmas and Easter”.

So, we’ve produced this list, but it’s always outdated and always needs correction, do not rely that much on anything here. Some hotels have this information clearly online (yet, often outdated), but in some cases it’s totally unclear who’s doing what, and even who is staff anyway. When you check online, most you find is people, users, disagreeing while all have their contacts they say. Messy. So we’re skipping rumours and are adding only names we can confirm (news post, badge there or not).

More lists are online, much better: one at the Karottenclub and Bibliophile and DiSAStA at HabboTimes forum seem to have the most accurate list. We checked those, but didn’t add all details. Note the flag images take you to a staff/faq page, if available, and Staff groups links are added.
