Habbo Hotel, the game that marked an entire generation of internet users in the early 2000s, has resurfaced with a proposal that has ignited nostalgia: Habbo Hotel Origins. This retro version promises to bring us back to the design and functionalities of the game as they were in 2005, a golden age for many of its original players.

The return of a classic in all its splendor

In January of this year, a Habbo developer, Macklebee, discovered some forgotten files on an old server that allowed for the restoration of this classic version of the game. After six months of meticulous work, the version that many longed for is finally available, without NFTs, casinos or gambling, while maintaining the essence that attracted millions of players worldwide.

Habbo Hotel Origins is only available for computers such as Mac or PC and requires players to be over 18 years old, unlike the regular Habbo which requires 13 years old, or even 11 in the early days of the game. By meeting these requirements, how can we play this original classic?

1. To start playing, we need to create a new account on the Habbo Hotel Origins website. Let’s go to origins.habbo.com, click on the “check-in” link on the left side of the page, and download the Habbo client for macOS or Windows.
2. When registering, we will be asked to create a new avatar and assign them a username.
3. Once in the game, we can explore classic public rooms like the Welcome Lounge, Habbo Lido, and the Hallway. We can also create our own rooms and decorate them with nostalgic furniture like Plasto chairs and Yukka plants.

In addition, a very significant change in Habbo Hotel Origins is the conversion of the InfoBus Park into a forum where players will be able to vote on changes in the game, ensuring that the community has a voice in the game’s development.

With all this, Habbo Hotel Origins seeks to maintain the original essence of the game and provide a refuge for those who long for an experience as close as possible to its beginnings. With a focus on sustainability, Sulake – the company responsible for the game – has committed to keeping the game online as long as it is viable. A very interesting approach that will undoubtedly delight many of the millions of players that the original game accommodated.
