Habbo, also known as Habbo Hotel, is a social MMO originally launched in 2000. Now it's making a comeback with Habbo Hotel: Origin.
Are MMORPGs Making a Big Comeback?
This new information came via the official Habbo X profile, where the developer has been promoting the re-release for months. The game is now finally available and users can sign up for free.
In case you didn't know, Habbo Hotel is a social game where users register with Habbo, decorate their rooms, play games, and interact with other users.
Unlike most MMOs of the early 2000s, Habbo never really went down. The game has been alive and kicking since launch, but developer Sulake made a number of decisions that drove away even its most loyal players. Server mergers, gambling, and even an investigation by British television channel Channel 4 amid rumors that players were being “groomed” led many to abandon the game for good.
