Groups is an all new feature that lets you team up with your friends to build rooms. You can create your own group and choose a homeroom which you and your friends can all decorate and design - perfect for a sweet horse stable!
Creating a new Group can only be done by
Habbo VIP members, however, HC and non-members can easily join existing groups.
WHAT'S SO COOL ABOUT GROUPS?* You'll have a Homeroom that you and other members can decorate together
* You get new badge options & designs
* A whole new web forum setup (but not a group homepage)
* There's exclusive Furni that can be customised with your Group's colours
Please Note: When you first purchase your Group, the Group is set to "Open", meaning anyone can join. The "Homeroom Decoration by Members" is also enabled, which means any member can decorate the homeroom. You can easily change both settings yourself.
The best way to experience Groups is to try it for yourself, however, a steaming infodump follows...[size=large]GROUP FAQS:[/size]* HOW DO I CREATE MY OWN GROUP?To create your own group you have to member of VIP. You can find Groups in the Shop, on the Groups page.
