The main discussion on this topic is "should users get involved with these retro hotels?" there are many mixed views about this as many users believe there is not a significant risk to your computer, identity or overall safety, where other people may believe that the risks are not worth the gain.Īs an attempt to educate users about the dangers of using retros, Habbo hosted a campaign in 2007 called Keep It Real. Habbo Retros continue to be a controversial topic in the Habbo community. This can lead to downtime, loss of data and breaches in the database so other people access users their credentials and other sensitive/personal information. Safety - Many retro hotels have arguments with each other and often attack one another.If you used the same password as you have on habbo on a retro, the owner or a member of staff from the retro could access your real Habbo account. It is common online safety knowledge to not use the same password for more than one site. Security - Owners of retro hotels and some members of staff have access to the user database, these means they can see usernames, emails, password and more information.Downtime - Some hotels are not committed to service and are not obliged to be online 24/7, although many retros are online 24/7, stability issues and legal issues may prevent them being online for long periods.While on Habbo, Casino's and gambling in general are forbidden. Casino's are allowed on most Retro Hotels.Some retros sell/give out inactive users their username. Often due to the fact that not nearly as many users are registered on retros as there are on Habbo. Access to usually, rare and used usernames.Free VIP are often freely given out to players, which would never happen on an official hotel due to the fact that staff members are employees of Sulake and user safety is more important.Often furniture and rares are at very low discounted prices, compared to an Official Hotel for example. Retro Hotels often give players large amounts of currency, which is of course the main and most appealing benefit to everyone that plays Habbo.A CMS (Content Management System) - This handles the dynamics of the website.An emulator (Game Server) - Runs the actual base code of the retro, it handles events that take place on the client.Most Retro Hotels operate similar to this: Promoting, creating and operating these hotels may lead to a ban from the official hotels and legal action. Note: The creation and operation of a retro hotel is illegal as it goes against Sulake's copyrighted material. These types of retros do not depend on a website and as they are based on older versions of Habbo, do not benefit from any current development by Sulake, and are therefore vulnerable to old security issues, such as scripting. Such as logging in through the client, changing clothes on the hotel view and the notable Habbo Console. These retros are very simple and have many features of the older official hotels. Old School retros are hotels that mimic the older versions of Habbo, usually from v1 - v17, hence the term "Old School". Users can take part in gangs, jobs, organizations, emergency services like hospital and police, and so on. In RP hotels, players take part in various activities which mimic real life situations. Roleplay Hotels, (also known as RP, for short) are hotels that run different server versions. Including many furni, similar website designs, an admin panel and "enables"/effects. These are the most common retros and are the most up-to-date. This release saw a huge increase in private servers which provided a nostalgic save haven for scripters to practice their hobby and try and manipulate the game in a way the developers didn't intend. On the closure of the public hotel, Dek released the complete source code on popular Habbo Scripting websites, the source code included everything including the visual basic server files. The server was kept live 24/7 on a dedicated server until the host received a closure notice on behalf of sulake and terminated their account. Their original hotel was kept private for a while before opening a public hotel named "" with full registration, furni, catalog, friends console & mutants. The first Habbo retro, was released as 'MDK V1', programmed by MDK, Joeh and Dek.
