Who hasn't explored virtual worlds or MMOs as a kid in the early 2000s and 2010s only to find unlimited wonders and horrors? No online game was better for expressing yourself, making friends, and learning that the world can be cruel than Habbo. Be it the countless scams, aggressive MMO monetization, inappropriate content, or the game's economy running on real money. Habbo is infamously one of the darkest games on the internet, and its (MANY) disturbing controversies prove it. Yet, players still adored their platform and fought for it even when news outlets, the government, and 4chan tried to shut it down. Where else could you be anything you wanted or finally attend virtual Hogwarts?Though its heydays of endless playerrun games, fun roleplaying groups, and bizarre ingame advertising are over, Habbo's remaining community is as creative and welcoming as always. And as inappropriate as it is nostalgic. This makes it even stranger that Disney commissioned its own version of Habbo, the Virtual Magic Kingdom or VMK. Something tells me Micky wasn't happy with some of those chat logs...So pack your suitcase, get some Scooby snacks, and let's check into the wonderfully disastrous world of Habbo and its sometimes charming but often scary fandom.
