News about the Furni-Matic
Hey Habbos!
If you’ve been trying to use the Furni-Matic over the past few days, you’re probably aware that it’s been offline and unusable. We took the decision to disable the Furni-Matic late last week after it was suspected to have caused significant stability issues for some of the hotels we run.
The team has just made a small change and has tentatively re-enabled the Furni-Matic on all hotels.. However, we need to proceed carefully, as we still need to fully confirm our theory about what caused the stability issues in the first place.
We’ll be monitoring usage of the Furni-Matic very closely, and making tweaks and further adjustments if needed. There is a very high likelihood that we will have to take the Furni-Matic offline again, particularly in the bigger hotels, to make further changes based on our findings.
📦 Mystery Boxes are being made untradable
The Mystery Boxes (the box Furni-Matic prizes come in) are now untradable. Some reasoning for this change is below:
- Alts farming achievements. Habbos were using alternate accounts to progress the Box Opener achievement. This is a type of player behaviour that we want to discourage.
- Unsafe trading. The prize inside Mystery Boxes is determined when actually recycling items in the Furni-Matic, not when opening the box. This means selling them can be misleading. Indeed, there is already evidence of Mystery Box prices being inflated and buyers losing out when they get low rarity rewards from them.
We understand that changes like this can be frustrating, but this is about keeping the game stable and fair while we get the Furni-Matic running smoothly again.
Thanks for your patience in this matter, community!
