No hurries, Habbo groups are making a comeback to Habbo.com!
Not to worry if you had already noticed that certain Habbo groups are missing because the Habbo Staff are meticulously moving all these groups from one country by another back to Habbo.com!
It'll take some time though but indeed, good things are meant to be waited for since this procedure will definitely not affect the Hotel adversely.

Want to see your favorite song appear on the chart, or want to increase the position of one of the existing songs? The TGT10 is based on airplay, so when you listen to the Great La Radio, simply send a request with your favorite song to the DJ! Whenever a song is played on the radio, it's one step closer to being on the chart!
Also, you can view our complete TGT10 archive here!
* AI = audience impressions. Audience impressions means how many people have heard the song on the Great La Radio. Example: if a song is played while there are 20 listeners tuned in, it gets 20 AI. The AI of each song is tallied throughout each week, and that is how the chart is calculated. More »
The Great Top 10 has been postponed until tomorrow, from 7pm - 8pm (UTC+8).
Sorry for the inconvenience caused!
In case you didn't know that it was out, the second issue of the Newsie has been released!!! Check it out and share it with your friends! http://great.la/newsie.php
The Newsie will be regularly released every Friday from now on, unless something weird happens like Khai.
Thankfully, our admins, including Fax, have been unbanned, and we are thus able to resume Prize Collection. The first one will be tomorrow (Saturday, July 24) at 4:00 PM (UTC+8). Check out event calendar for the date in your timezone (you must be logged in and have your timezone properly set in your profile).
Not *all* of our staff have been unbanned yet, however, and we are still working on this. Thank you everyone for your patience!
Where are all the bots?!
Bots are usually having fun during the maintenance. Because of the Big Wave running in the Hotel. They wanna join the fun and enjoy the summer, even though they don't know how to swim.
So the Habbo staff is now asking Habbos to take care of the bots. If you happen to meet a Bot which attempting to jump into the sea, make sure you save them from drowning! There will a new Bot appear in one of the Big Wave Showrooms every day, but no one knows when is the actual time.
What do I do if I spot a Bot? Well, simply report them to the lifeguard over at the competition form. Also, the Habbo staff will reward 30 random Habbos who successfully save the Bot a Big Wave Badge every day.[Habbo]

Did you enjoy the events? Of course you did!
Well, we did say if you're smarter than jennieT then come down to this event. But by looking at the scores looks like you guys needed a boost up! (No, you're not getting one.) Here, I'm going to announce the results of the event that took place on the 17th of July!
We managed to fly through 20 easy questions. Except the question ''What is the fifth element of the periodic table'' both teams took a while to answer ''Boron''. So without further ado congrats to Great La for their victory in this weeks event!
Here's the results for this week's ''Are you smarter than Great La'':
Great La Staff - 18 points
Non Great La Staff - 2 points
Now that's gotta hurt... losing by 16 points! Staircase managed to get the team up with 10 points with the help of Transit for the last 8 points!
It seems like no one is smarter than Great La. I know, right? That's pretty sad. But don't worry, we'll host it again sometime next week; keep your eyes peeled out for the events. So, it's time for you to do some revision and make sure that you're well prepared for the next event!
Congratulations to the winning participants!
Note: For those who competed, look out for your private messages as you'll receive a code soon redeemable for your efforts!
Have a great weekend. More »
