Habbo crests 100 million avatar milestone

One hundred million. 100 million. 100,000,000. No matter how you look at it, it's an extraordinarily large number. It's the number of colors most women are capable of seeing. It's the number of websites that existed in 2006. It's a song by the rapper Birdman. It's also, rather incidentally, the number of avatars created to date in the simple and spectacularly successful Habbo Hotel.

Naturally, that doesn't correlate to 100 million users (Habbo usually clocks in at about 8 million a month), but it's still a testament to the power of a simple virtual world aimed at an extremely active demographic. The lucky sap who created the actual 100 millionth avatar was awarded one of those fancy new Macbook Airs, as well as a slew of in-game goodies like a specially designed room, in-game currency, and rare items. Here's hoping they see 100 million more!

Of course, a full 3/4 of those avatars were the "pool's closed" guys.

Agreed with what Mike said. In fact, I bet the 100 millionth user was a nigra, and there was a coverup. I mean, imagine the lulz that would have ensued if they gave 1000 coins, a room, and a laptop to someone who only joined to harass their actual customers? Habbo can't even stomach that kind of awesome. They'd puke up a lung or something.
