*UPDATE*
Meth0d is now re-coding Uber, he is still using 'Uber' in his development i think

Also a reason why Meth0d has decided to charge a people to use this new emulator -Nothing like spending a Saturday night programming. No, really, I enjoy it. Here’s a status report.
I have made a relatively important decision. The Pro edition will be a complete recode. That means no recycled components whatsoever. With the ION base completely replaced it felt a bit, I don’t know, useless to write workarounds just to get old crap to work. So, there you go, I deleted the entire HabboHotel namespace last week, so everything’s gone and being replaced.
(So, yes, whoever was asking for a recode on here: your prayers have been heard!)
I am currently progressing nicely. Got all the core stuff to work, and trying to make the whole deal as stable as possible, especially taking note of stuff that went wrong in the original Uber (threading problems mostly…).
Did the entire help tool and the most of the ticket browser today. Is it a priority? No. I just felt like it.
Currently doing messenger, then moving on to navigator, then rooms. That’s when stuff gets serious!
I have released every single project in the past under rather permissive licenses/conditions. I have been involved in this scene since 2007 and have contributed a whole lot without getting more than a few small donations. In the meantime, I see others making a load of money off of my work. If anything, me and my work have been taken advantage of. I do not feel I am a bad person for wanting to earn money.
But taking advantage of my “position” as programmer…I wouldn’t say so. Isn’t that what everybody does or tries to? They have a skill, and they use it — to try and make some money. That’s what I’m doing. I need money and want to keep myself entertained, so this seems like the perfect way to do it.
Oh, and Aaron was a fag because he used open-source components to make money (and thus broke the license). He bought the Uber source fairly.
The license prices you mentioned are quite unreasonable in comparison without the amount of work I put in and the amount of money some retros make based on VIP sales, advertisement income, etc. I am currently still brainstorming about final prices, but what you mentioned won’t be close to it.
