Retro What are some useful method for getting users on your server?

Hello,
Owning a habbo retro can be a fun but stressful, expensive experience. There are many difficulties you need to over come (if you're new, of course) to operate a successful habbo retro. Having a tip-top emulator, website, catalogue, community, etc. I find community to be the hardest one. Frankly, if you only have 5-20 users daily (like 90% of retros today), and aren't making any money from the shop, your hotel won't be on for long. Moving on to the question, what are some useful tips and methods for building a large community?

Honestly, people want experienced staff who can successfully host events, keep a steady eco and maintain updates. Most people these days buy their VPS from HostSavor and use their proxies, it's pointless... If you gain 30-50 users people are only going to target you, which is very sad.

Pay for the protection and the hosting, it's worth it in the long run.

I think good trustworthy Staff and a good community feel between the mebers you have can really help

You have to explore many strategies of marketing. DevBest is a great community forum where there is a large audience of people, therefore you want to reach out to those people with your retro service.

Adding on to @JMG point, you want to develop your leadership team first. Have a strong administrative team that have experience and know what they are doing. That way, once users do start coming onto your retro, you can kickstart everything and have everything running smoothly. Make sure your staff are trained well too. Additionally, the protection will greatly help you too.

It all depends on how you run your hotel. The retro market is pretty big now, with many retros, big or small, all competing to have more users. You'll just have to find the ways that get users to your hotel. Good luck!
