First ever room created is 'My Home' owned by 'toto'

The first room created by non Sulake staff is owned by 'Jen69'

The second room created by non Sulake staff is owned by 'Becksy' (Ex-Hobba)

The first HC Room is owned by 'HobbaContact'

During 2001, Sulake were testing gaming furniture in private rooms.
Battleships, Chess, Noughts and Crosses and Poker were then going to be playable without visiting the public gaming room.

Due to the amount of glitches and problems occurring while implementing this furniture, the idea was soon scrapped and this furniture never made it into the public eye!

Unearthed below is a screenshot of this rather ugly looking set of furniture created by drken.

Brightness levels in private rooms were beta tested in 2001.
Sulake proposed for a dial tool to be added to private rooms allowing the owner to control the brightness of the lighting in the room. The owner could well darken the room lighting to suit the theme and nature of their room by simply rotating an on screen dial. Apparently this tool was scrapped due to the amount of bugs in the earlier release of Habbo.

In 2001, it was possible for any user to use the :startlog 'email' command. All users could record their own chatlogs for future reference!. This was removed in 2001 when the 'Hobba Channel' was introduced, this tool automatically recorded their chatlogs when a 'Call for help' is sent and could be viewed with a single click, thereby making moderation on Habbo UK that little bit easier!

During 2001 and 2002, you were entirely free to use foul language on HABBO HOTEL™. At the end of the 2002, Habbo decided to introduce a zero tolerance policy on swearing and profanities. If you were caught swearing or being abusive to anyone else after 28th December 2002, you would be immediately banned for 2 hours. As you could imagine, this caused an uproar of opposition from people during this period, including myself. From the community's eyes, Habbo UK were taking away our freedom of speech. We challenged and showed nothing but contempt for this new policy.

HobbaContact was changed to 'Moderator' in November 2002 to avoid confusion between Habbo Club and the HobbaContact account.

During early 2002 until Habbo Club was released a few days ago, it was possible for any Habbos to have outrageous hair/hat colours.

This was done by exploiting a glitch when changing your looks and gender on the hotel view.

Edit: Similar hair colours of hair style are now still available, but these colours are now only available to people who subscribe to the new Habbo Club.

The Welcome Lounge opened its doors yesterday on the Monday 20/1/2003 at around 4:00pm.

This main intent of this new public room is for experienced users to advise and guide new users around the hotel.
