Tell what is your experience on hotel. I just felt missing when I remembered the very first retro I joined so I want to share it, so I want to know your experience to.

Smooth Hotel. My beloved hotel, this is the first time I play Habbo and stick with it. I do not know anything, I found this from my friends shouting the links anywhere else on a boring no-updates game we are playing with free credits and stuff. I showed loyalty to the game and built some 'noob' houses, the server owner (VPS) deemed me capable and announced me to be a Gold Hobba. Worked on my way and became co-owner, learning few aspects on the hotel. It is also running on PhoenixPHP but all of us are having fun. <3_<3 When it shuts down we report to the server owner and it's back up, then everybody else starts whooping to the hotel. And when it shutted down, it was a bad bad news for all and we migrated into different hotels.

HabboXP. A hotel I just knew when offered me Administrator spot on the hotel. It was fun and I brought my retro friends there, everybody enjoyed the hotel like everybody else. I let them meet as the owner, and yup, the hotel was going good but when we started losing time Craig decided to shut it down, and McdRP was up already then.

Hibzy. This is where I packed all my learning from HabboXP and Smooth. It was fun, especially when I met (Emily) and Leah there. Every time I'm on a hotel it isn't possible I befriend 2 girls first before anybody else. Yup, that started on Hibzy. Hibzy has run for long, and even celebrated Christmas and New Year. let me access the database that time and he trusts me. But then after a girl named Rachel came, the hotel came downhill until it shutted down. Rachel hated me as a secret person told me. ~ so yea

Smooth Revision. Here I co-op'd with David Brown, the owner of the VPS (above). We sat up it on Xampp and did a good run, using Mango Theme. That time I do not have that much knowledge and David has set up auto-lock on the VPS and never handed down the details (cause he also hosts other websites using the same VPS). It was fun as the old users of Smooth came back, until then it shutted down.

HabPRO 1. After some long run, here I met . He posted a thread regarding his VPS and that he wants someone to set it up. We get along, the hotel was fun and users enjoy it, they even really loyally loved it. They stick out, and invite as much as they can. Until there was conflict between me and him, when he concentrated on HabRUS (Russian version, RevCMS, Mango Theme) and was able to fund .com domain while he didn't on HabPRO and that made me mad. I pulled out my license and he started using cracked, after some time Nathan dumped the webhost where the files was hosted and then we separated ways. He built Electric and I with , and rebuilt HabPRO.

HabPRO V2. The continuation of the series, the users still loved it and we were able to grab some users from other hotels through the help of inviting. Of course we do not advertise but instead we invite, if ever someone advertises it's on their own will. That technique worked and we reached 17 users maximum on second day. It was fun and the coding was a pain, but thanks to . I enjoyed company with and to the other staffs, and it was good to know they still love it even better than the first one. We also got some loyal users from other hotel after they knew ours are better than the one they currently have.

That's my retro experience. What about yours?

The first retro i played was Habbzo, i played this for about 2 years back in 08/09. After this i went on to make my own & i was also the original person to set up Fresh Hotel for and i maintained that for a short while.

My first retro was Hazzo (v26 rocks), after 2 months it peaked at 250+, however it got hacked after i was pretty nooby back then and didnt know about the webdav exploit. After this i went on to own GrandlodgeHotel.co.uk with Lee & Kooga, we shortly changed out name to Athens-Hotel.us (a gaming site which specialised in Luna Onine sponsored us and gave us a vps)
After getting bored of retros we closed it down.

I dont really pay retros anymore, however i did ever get back into it, i would deffo make a v26

On your generation v26 is much easier to play but nowadays most people prefer r63. But yea v26 rocks too. :)

It all started with spits hotel the first retro I ever played, I think it was owned by Tom spits. I always remember it from
Like 2009 I lived how when I
Tried to say "shit" for eg it would Go oink-oink it was really funny. I reckon it shut down the I moved over to force hotel. I played force hotel for like a year then it slowly died when revision was coming in I started to play habboon, that retro that recently died:c with rp. Then I kinda started to die then I played Habplus for a very long time. Askanni made her own retro called tardis-hotel I played for 3 months then got iPed :c so I started to play static hotel that retro really fucking quick I quit due to too many assholes. Then ATM I play habborp and paradise hotel.
Hope you enjoyed my history c:

Habbo.com:
My cousin showed me Habbo.com when I was 10, which was almost 6 years ago. I played Habbo for about two years, but soon learned about retros, and slowly moved onto those.

Old Schools:
I owned a couple old school retros, and had about 20 something users online daily. But since 24/7 required me to keep my laptop on all day, I decided to quit, because I had school, and I didn't wanna keep my laptop on! But everyone who played, loved it! Whenever the hotel went down, everyone was spamming the chatbox about how they wanted the hotel back! But I slowly switched to v26 shortly after.

Legit/Habbo.vg:
Was originally a v26, and was called Legit Hotel. Eventually, the name changed, and new updates came and things. But around 2009 or so, Habbo.vg was a r63 hotel, with some of the most amazing things I had seen!

Force-Hotel.com:
Force Hotel was one of the best v26 hotel's I had seen. I was VIP, had like 20 Force Tokens, and so much more! It was a great era for Force, but unfortunately, they shutdown, and "merged" with openhabbo.com/xenhotel.net. So I joined that hotel, but it wasn't as fun as Force, so it's just a back-up hotel to play nowadays.

Blahhotel.com:
Blah hotel was much like Zap, they were initially Zap's competitors, top of thehabbos.org, and one of the best r51/r53/r57/r59 hotels out there! But they slowly died off, and were shutdown. They were even hosted on macs! But they unfortunately shutdown and left Zap as one of the top retros.

Zaphotel.net:
I joined Zap around the same time I joined Blah. They were like I said, the competitors for Blah. This hotel was once a pretty good and amazing hotel! But now it's so bad.

Fresh-Hotel.org:
I joined Fresh Hotel in around 2010, about a year after they opened. I never went on, but recently, they have had some of the fastest and best updates, so I had been getting on, but now they seem to be having some problems, as they are off sometimes and then randomly start back up, without any information about what happened. I feel Muscab is too overwhelmed with everything?

So Yeah. That's Uh My Experience!

I then soon quit retros soon after.
I was on RZ and looking through tutorials and soon found out how to make one.

Habbo: Habbo was first, of course. I don't remember how I found out about Habbo retros... I think it's when I typed Habbok instead of Habbo. Well, that's where I started off my retro career.

Habbok: I started off playing Habbok as my first Habbo retro. I was new back then, so I didn't know much. I only remember myself selling catalog furniture for credits. It was pretty fun back then and I remember how I had good friends, rares, and fun.

Habview: I played Habview for about 2 years now and I became a loyal user on it and always try to be online. I acquired staff (eXpert) twice now. I enjoy this retro a lot and still play it.

Habbo.bz: My very first epic hotel experience, I'd played retros before this but only stuck on for a day and were only the ones advertised on .com. I played bz for over a year meeting some epic people and learning so much along the way. I went from a 13year old kid sitting in his zombie run day-in-day-out to a short time valuer then to a T-MOD. I became about the 5th richest in the hotel winning the only 2 ROTW's that i entered and owning the events. Bz averaged about 300+ daily. I then left with the senior mod Carl.

Hotel Green: A much, much smaller based hotel made from a bunch of guys that met on BZ which averaged about 30+ daily. Sadly though it was a bit of a dull hotel, nothing really happened cause i was used to being mauled by 20 people at the same time and handling a ticket every 5 minutes and the fact that the owner was lazy didn't help. I went from T-MOD to Manager in a matter of a week, i ended up playing for about 3 months.

Icy Hotel: Made by similar people from green with just a few owner alterations so it just ended up being a rename, Met a bunch of new people on Icy as well as green, Started off as manager, ended as manager.

Habline Hotel: Habline, Habline, Habline, so many memories. Made by a couple of mates that were new to the retro making community and were just learning, what was a hotel that was anticipated to reach about 20 daily and lasting a month, ended up getting 100 and lasting over a year. Once again for 11 out of 12 months i played habline i was manager the whole time, seeing an average of about 6 other managers that tried to work alongside me and about 10 different moderators+ go by. In the 12th month the 2 owners decided to split off from the hotel and leave me in-charge which turned out to being my very first hotel owning experience which was just epic, that experience brought me here. I learnt so much in the short time i was owner, sadly though my co-owner knew nothing of what he claimed to of known and screwed me over which i thank him for that cause now i'll never hire another co-owner.

RevHotel: Currently what im playing and enjoying it lots.

Habbo: I started Habbo in December, 2009, after getting bored of call of duty. I played it till June, 2011, when I found thehabbos.

Blah Hotel: I joined blah in June 2011, Yet quit in less than 2 weeks because I kept forgetting my password. (I was a noob).

Habbo.bz: I joined Habbo.bz in June 2011, where me and my brother shared an account and made a successful wired maze. Until some nub accused me of scamming cause they dced near the end, and I got banned.

Habplus: In Habplus, I stayed till August 2011, till It got boring and I decided to give retros a break.

BobbaLodge: On my brothers first day of work, I got bored, and decided to go troll a retro. I chose BobbaLodge. Something about BobbaLodge made me want to stay, and i stayed till it's closure in June, 2012.

Blend Hotel: Blend was the worst hotel I ever went on with cracked pheonix and too many database wipes, I left quite soon.

NextGenHabbo & Faze Hotel: After I quit Blend, I went too NextGenHabbo, Earlier this month I also joined Faze Hotel. Now I sorta play both.

It's funny how you didn't own Legit with Giovanni because the name was mine and you wouldn't start Legit without me.

Wooo looking back at my experience, here goes.

I didn't visit much hotels, I was really pick with what I played however If I did start playing I would of kept in the community for around 5+ months before moving on.

Bobble Hotel - My favourite hotel from 08/09 I would would love to go back and have a play again with some old members. Bobble hotel was coded by Derek and Cody, we actually had over 100+ costume thrones. Well everything was custom ha. Anyway I was moderator on there till it was changed and over taken by my next explained hotel.

Bobba Hotel/ iSpaz/ - In late 09 Derek and Cody give the hotel away to Jay and Andrew what were a little more intense from Derek & Cody however customs were still kept, holo's were kept except it changed to PHPretro instead of Holocms and I was promoted to Senior Moderator. I think after two long hard years playing on iSpaz and Bobba hotel I left retro's.

ObboRP - Later in late 2010 I discovered RP by HabboRP, thats were I met Sledmore and Ceejay, I got into role-play after that. After 1 month I received Moderator but shortly stopped playing due to the hotel going offline with Sledmore quitting ha.

HabboRP - Currently working on HabboRP now, still a great community but different staff 2012 to date.
