Sulake decided, due to the DDoS attacks on the Dutch and German hotel, to remove inactive accounts from every hotel on the 1st of May which:
- Are created before 2010 and haven't logged in for more than a year.
- Are created after 2010 and haven't logged in for more than 3 years.
Macklebee confirmed this to Puhekupla via e-mail traffic.
He said: "When we delete every inactive account, we can save on our server costs, so we can invest in a lot of other things for Habbo, like clothes and new furniture for example."
We asked him if there is not another way of saving server space, he replied: "We removed the personal homes last year, and we hoped that would save enough server space, but that wasn't enough, unfortunately."
Banned accounts will get removed too, we understood from Macklebee that banned accounts are the biggest problem on the server space.
The last time Habbo deleted inactive accounts was in 2010, subsequently making lots of unique names became available.
Chances are that Habbo enables the feature for Habbo Club members to change your Habbo name immediately after deleting the inactive accounts, but that's just speculation.
Our advice to everyone with an old account is to log in before the 1st of May. If otherwise, your account will be lost/gone forever.
What are your thoughts on this?

How legit is this?
THIS. CANT. BE. REAL.
this is sad. imagine trying to log in after being banned with all the furni, or some oldskool user who wanted to check it out again and its all gone :'( :( . The extra income better be going towards bigger and better public rooms, maybe old zoom again, quality furni, old innovative features such as movie maker etc.
just spoke to macklebee, can confirm.
gr mika trouwens !
This is proof that Habbo has money problems, they will squeeze every last penny out of its paying users and not spend the profits on upgrading and improving the service for us
They keep downsizing, limiting and restricting our freedom on Habbo, it feels like they do it on purpose sometimes
It also makes me laugh that they removed Habbo homes to "save space"... a piece of iconic history since Habbos creation was deleted forever to "save space... Crazy and stupid!
Why can't they improve the service instead of revamping things that don't need touching or they will soon see their profits falling and their loyal paying users quit the service and Habbo will be no more...
That's my opinion, god help Sulake
It has just occurred to me that it's April 1st... April fools?
It's still the 29th of March,,
This is the worst april fool's joke every.
- Are created before 2010 and haven't logged in for more than a year.
- Are created after 2010 and haven't logged in for more than 3 years.
They really don't like oldskool players.
WE DO THIS!!! (L)
THEY*
Watch as this extra money they save just got to Elisa/Sulake's pocket and furni and clothing quality still stays shit
this isn't april fools, we're in march and the date for the cleanup is in may
WAKE UP PPL!
I'm not going to spend a penny in this game anymore.
If habbo is getting out of money, then DIE IMMEDIATELY!
Nice April fools tho few days too early...
Can habbo give me back all my old banned accounts if they're gonna do this please? this is retarded
And it's pretty stupid how they're gonna spend all the money on furniture and clothing. how about idk...MAKING THE WEBSITE FUN AGAIN. i seriously think habbo devs are retarded, bring back the original public rooms, in client games, old zoom, nice and clean UI, animated hotel views, make habbo actually feel different and unique, the reason habbo got so popular in the first place is because all there was to do and stuff. no one joins habbo anymore, habbos closed so many hotels, and the hotels that still do run re losing users by the day but instead they want to spend it on MORE furniture and clothing, they dish out new furniture every month give it a rest habbo, damn
Macklebee is a fraud. He claims he's a 2001 user but buys accounts. He started in 2005 under the username Myrax. In fact Macklebee and Myrax both share a group together. Mackleebee is a piece of shit liar.
Who cares when a user signed up? You fucking piece of shit boring low life depressive shit stain
if this is real
guys habbo is crap now. let the 21 year olds get their rare names. Who cares? its just dying online world anyway...
Macklebee confirms this is a prank. You dumbfks think u created a good april fools joke but its not april fools joke unless its april 1st past midnight... so
