Habbo is just a chatroom with pixel people.

Lol… The idea of comparing these two games and actually thinking that they are in competition with each other is just LOL. First of all WoW is an MMORPG which takes skill to play now with the recent patches, habbo is a game of luck and seeing who has the most money in your parents bank. Not to mention habbo is free… if they had started charging then they would be down to about 200 people? WoW can keep about 11 Million charging $15 U.S dollars a month. SO you do the math… ARE THEY REALLY IN COMPETITION?

Wow is becoming too boring. They have sucked the life out of it by allowing their development team become flooded with wow addicts. The development is moving in the direction of hard core players rather than casual ones. This making the game less of a social interaction and more of a strategy based game. The new patch is even more boring as if you are not perfect in strategy you will kill everyone. You can imagine the amount of drama that causes. Makes you hate your guild eventually. Not good for a game that relies on social interaction and organization to progress through.

I think Habbo has an edge over WOW because it can be accessed for free, but in my own opinion it's really hard to compare the two. Windows Registry Guide

Habbo is a glorified chat ffs.

Why would anyone compare it to WoW or any other MMO? The term usually refers to games, and real games at that.

Habbo beats WoW because it’s free, but revenue wise and the range of age who plays WoW is still on the top list.
