Will there ever be another Habbo Roleplay?

[Lookazz]

nothing will top peak imo, it'd have to have very skilled developers on it to compete with peak

To be fair, peak didnt have any competition to compete with, no other rps where open besides bubborp which was very poorly managed which is what i would say was a major advantage to peaks success along with it being a clean very standard and consistent roleplay from the beginning, its only in later versions where they went off the rails and lost the interest of the RP community of that time and created a new community, so for those who say that the RP scene is dead they dont realize that new communities can arise much easier with roleplays than with retros.

There were many RPs that had the same quality and features as Peak long before Peak was a thing, with the exception they weren't pure cash grabs that opened and closed yearly.

That being said, the RP scene is very small, very nostalgic and very out of touch with how fun these games actually were and can be.

RPs are PvP arenas with farming on the side at best

Ive seen you say a few things about RPs and I agree, they could be much more than just a simple work for cash to then buy weapons to fight, and if fighting isnt your thing just pick some carrots, make a home (if the rp features housing and carrot picking lol) along with the occasional event, that just a bout sums up most rps, for example im not sure why the idea of creating your own business was abandoned, there is potential for a multitude of features on rps, im assuming its lack of conceptual design as ive seen a lot of out of the box ideas be executed in a very cheap tacky way but the principles of endless possibilities are still there it is a roleplay after all..

The best RPs are the original ones from Sojobo Otaku Studios nothing has topped them yet.

You forgot corps which are very important because not everyone fights and also ties in with the economy.

Thats quite old though, what makes you say that nothing has topped them yet?

They are mulitple RPs under development based on my knowledge. I have one myself that is under development and I can honestly say HabLife is still the most promising one. Now as far as their staff being "sketchy" I don't know anything about that but the community would know more than me as I don't really socialize much with anyone outside of my community. But what could and would make a "good RP" is providing some concepts that users will actually have to LEARN and get to experience rather than just the typical/traditional features they are already use too. I seen a thread where someone said Peak developers patterned their development features behind GTA RP (FiveM) servers like the escort and a few others. That was and still is the smartest thing to do! Crafting/Growing drugs is another unique feature that we plan on implementing onto our RP. As for my project it won't be the traditional "Habbo Roleplay" as it will provide users with an option to opt-into what we will call "RP Mode" and "Classic Mode". Merging two different communities under one gaming client - but as far as the RP side we are bringing in the basic & traditional features but also introducing an entire new look, feature(s), and design. Every other RP since Peak had just used the same websockets/UI design and haven't much done anything out of the ordinary. So long story short, I do think a good RP project will presents itself soon. Before the end of this year for sure!

This concept has been attempted many times with developers assuming retro users would leach into the RPscene but the execution methods have always been very poorly, the RP side always still had a retro feel to them as we can see with myBobba and ended up being a dead concept, also the fact that retro and RP communities (properly developed communities) dont actually mix for that reason RPs are popular concepts and tend to have different communities, its not just another retro, its actually quite the black and white area where having 2 keep both sides happy are 2 different challenges however it is possible just need to have certain standards and not try to do a straight up mash up, ive seen 1 concept that never was released it was extremely promising, good luck with the project!

Know what role-players are good for?
Being underage and e-fucking in every room of your hotel, right in front of everyone lool

What's left of Roleplay is horny teenagers and nostalgic adult's that cant get over their glory days on Peak. Hybrid concepts don't really work unless they are extremely casual either. These two communities don't mix very well together so I don't think the next big thing is a Hybrid hotel either...

I'd like to be proven wrong but I'm not holding my breath for the next big Roleplay, because, like every other aspect in the English's retro scene, it is dead, and the market for it is extremely niche in an already very niche private server community.

There is no need to talk down about RPs just because you've had a bad experience.., I think that is why your concept has not done very well due to lack of understanding on how RPs function and in-depth RP community understanding, for that reason you're just touching up on the surface of negativity that any game in general has... RPs are not standard retros unless you design it to be so, which causes you to miss out on the RP community (emphasis on the "RP"), your notion of hybrid hotels working only if they are casual is completely wrong, like ive seen LeChris say, RPs have a huge potential to be an entirely different game.

Just a bit of sarcasm because people think peak is the best, only or the first when in reality the idea and most features were started by someone else years ahead of peak. Truth be told it’s still the goat.

 

[Puffin]

To be fair your hotel claims roleplay so it makes sense to be on topic.

It also just comes to show when roleplay topics are popping off more than any other on this forum. Enough said.

Yes and we have quite a bit of Roleplaying features to back that claim, all be it not typical like you’d expect from a Peak roleplay for example. Not all Roleplay concepts need to align with Peak. This was my hybrid concept for something casual and enjoyable from the perspective of both sides. Don’t get why people need to shit on it because I’m not copying peak and trying to do my own thing by creating a more interactive experience for users lol

Everyone is just expressing if there will be another rp, what’s expected, what’s not expected, etc so on and so forth. In the end it’s just their opinions you continue doing you. Whether someone likes or not is their problem.

 

[Linkestt]

You got a decent idea but as far as RP imo it probably wouldn't work or you don't have it planned out right yet. To me, it seems like it would just be another MyBobba copy. Keep trying though that's what matters. Peak didn't just do GTA they experimented with different things. They had a version with no corps more of a runescape-type vibe honestly.

Hablife is doing similar peak HP bars, similar turf features, the same gym cycle, etc. You claim it is promising then go on to talk about how no one does anything out of the ordinary, typical traditional features blah blah which is it? the UI looks like a dumbed-down peak version just missing stuff same layout.

I only say its promising due to the main developer being @Zodiak but other than that I don't know what features they have as I am not a beta tester or do not have any access to their server.

You'll be proven wrong... There's nothing close to what a Hybrid Habbo server can offer users to experience. In my opinion it will change and set a new tone of how Habbo Retros can work.

Fail. They are posting updates on here and on their server so you aren’t even paying attention and just calling it promising for no real reason then. If you want to suck up to someone just say that.

I said promising in actually being completed and released. I said nothing about it being good or unique, cause I don't know what they've been working on or plan on bringing thats new.

What is it that you can offer that isnt outside the scope of a regular rp and retro, having these 2 concepts mashed up together simply doesnt work unless your plan is to have them as separate game modes and build upon that? And with the roleplay side do you intend to follow an established standard that RPs have?

Exactly you don’t even know what to say. You were just talking down on rps copying peak. You aren’t even paying attention to the development. All you are saying is you don’t know anything but because it’s someone it’s promising. That’s called ass licking.

Have you considered the possibility your "rp" may not offer enough features to keep your users engaged.

Zodiak only builds Peak knockoffs that won't open or release. Hablife has been made and discontinued without opening a dozen times

He saw Puffin's thread and thought it was a cool feature. Unfortunately, the best success MyBobba got from a hybrid roleplay were users pretending to be schizophrenic and e dating

It will be 2 different game modes. The retro side won't be able to participate in anything RP related, and as for the RP side it will of course have the traditional RP standards but with more advanced features.

NaHabbo the original Hybrid project I was working on wasn't influenced by myBobba in anyway. It was a concept/idea I came up with on my own thinking logic ... Besides just as Puffin stated his RP side of myBobba isn't anything similar to what an original Habbo RP is.

You got me there! I haven't really been paying attention to HabLife as I'm working on a project myself but my personal opinion towards Zodiak, I just have a feeling it'll turn out good and finished.

My users are perfectly engaged lol as I’ve mentioned several times now this is a very casual role playing aspect and all of our features are used regularly, especially the real estate market which added a new commodity to the economy.

And so will these just be completely separate or will it have something that would unify the concepts into 1 whole concept? If not, why not just do a retro and an RP separately?

Like attracts like.. personally I think myBobba is a Frankenstein creation of an RP.. lets get the pitchforks

 

[Pinkman]

lol the fact no one knows what a RP is has me mind blown. myBobba is THE ONLY rp as far as I am aware that’s online. What I assume you guys are cat-fighting about is RPG which is more of a crime-related RP. Note: RP = ROLEPLAY . Get it?
r-o-l-e-p-l-a-y . EmeraldHeights was a RP. PeakRP was a RPG. Get yo facts right. Also I’m not sure but a lot of people seem to hate myBobba…when you guys don’t even know the difference between a “rp” and “rpg”

Clearly, you don't know the origins of habborp either. I get that you are on boon playing in and out of character in those rooms but this is beyond that. EmeraldHeights was not it either. They did use to have :ic and : ooc commands but it evolved past that for a reason. I'm not sitting here writing paragraphs on a character just to play a game but that's my opinion.

ex. That's why when you heal a user it states ** Xusername heals Yusername ** and actually does it with a command, a WebSocket, or some sort of interaction now instead of typing and pretending it is happening.

+ if you consider mybobba an rp you should consider every regular hotel that has people "rping" on them as an "online rp" too.

Im sorry but the terminology youre using to categorise two different standards of RP is incorrect, they are both roleplay(ing) games, RPGs, just because PeakRP didnt have fictional character roleplaying instead more character development roleplaying doesnt mean it wasnt an RP and that is where myBobba lacks as an RP, yes you can prance around and act out scenarios all you like but without proper character development like how RPs have evolved to have then its just a backwards roleplaying game on a retro, it can be considered somewhat of an RPG/RP due to how users play the game and some of their functions but its mainly seen as a retro with some rp stuff and users who like to rp.
To be clear RP is the action done on RPGs they arent two separate categories lol

By that definition, does that mean MyBobba isn't a game?

A true roleplay has the functionality built in and encourages you to be in character at all times. True roleplays ended at the time Peak started and with the creation of passive mode.

What you're describing is a roleplay room which has always existed and it's hilariously silly hotels claim that as a unique feature and identity themselves as "hybrid." You're either a roleplay hotel or not.

if your hotel has a navigator, it's not a roleplay and it never will be. You're just lazy and can't get users interested from the normal community

What?? ghetto cities have more seasoning.


Idk what that had to do with rp or anything but anyways to keep it on topic an rp city, town, village, whatever you want to call it should always have a hospital, a police station-prison, an energy corp, a clothes store, then the rest are kind of optional and can be played around with. Ie banks, events, casinos, chapels, clubs, turfs, heists, farming/mining/fishing, parks, etc to name a few. Gym could be done different but usually people create it to level the characters strength so it’s as you see fit on how you want to go about that one. In the past you would stand in place on a thread mill now you go through a cycle of 3 exercises per peak. I feel like other hotels had it where you gain experience through actual combat. So if someone can change how these work would be a first step on “uniqueness” as of now they always work the same.

Figured I’d pull this back in and hear some opinions on how this could be changed from your usual activities.

As i've said this hybrid project has always been more casual i'm not trying to be peak, this is how you cater to both sides, not everyone's a hardcore role-player. We have stories and quests and fun things to do throughout our city and its something different that kind of fuses the two together and get both communities involved.

Seemingly, the only thing that matters are gangs and turf wars lol
But don't worry Bobba is going just fine for itself the way it is, a lot of people enjoy the concept and the causality to it all.


Whave a hospital, police station, corps/jobs currently in the works at the moment to expand into something a bit new. You can buy cars, our gun store is almost done... Our city is pretty expansive and includes a lot of things mentioned above,

We also have farming, a Carnival full of fun games to earn xp and achievements, and other fun interactive things for people to do in the city. We have a real estate market where users can buy and sell houses and businesses. There are things both users can do in the city to earn their way and advance in the economy. We have fighting, although you don't die the aspect of it has always been for fun because, again, my vision was casual roleplay which is kind of implied in the term 'hybrid experience'

Roleplay can come in many different forms and everyone has their own tastes. Sad to see everyone so closed minded to the idea of something a little bit different from the traditional.

Remember, I didn't bring my hotel into this. If nobody considers BoBBa a roleplay why am I the topic of every reply? Acting like i'm the god damn devil for trying to make my own unique thing lmao
