You are here: Neeraj just launched Habbo Hotel Japan. I wrote about it before, but it is a cool 2.5D chat space where you can build your own room and play games as well.
It's a shockwave and it takes about a minute to set up an account and it's free. It's less sophisticated than Sims Online, but maybe better because it focuses more on the community aspect.
I sometimes have difficulty with Sims Online because the balance between gameplay and socializing is kind of difficult. Sometimes it feels like you're "in the way" of Sims trying to make money doing stupid repetitive tasks.
Habbo (maybe because it's free) has a younger and more social population, generally speaking(habbohotel coins), although I HAVE met some nice people on Sims Online.
I'm Joi and Neeraj is NikoNiko in Habbo.
Popular mostly outside of the U.S., Habbo Coins is a mostly free online virtual world which earned $30 million in revenue in 2006. The site is targeted towards a younger demographic ranging from 13 to 18 year olds (90% of users fall in this range).
It is free to register and walk around the hotel, yet users can pay extra for more functionality(habbo credits), club membership and furnishings for their hotel room.
Users join on to chat, play games, go virtual swimming and do anything else one might do in a real hotel.
