We're back with Issue 2 and another week of happenings from around the hotel!
We've got more updates, a few things worth talking about and of course some of the little bits and bobs that have caught our attention this week. Whether you've been glued to Origins all week or you've only just popped back in, grab yourself a cuppa and let's see what's been happening!
This week's rare
This week's rare is the Red Marquee!
It's been a while since we've had a marquee in the catalogue and personally, I'd say it's more than a welcome addition. They're some of the best rares in the hotel and I feel like a lot of the others are either locked away in trade halls or were eaten by Noco. You don't really see them about these days!
Hopefully the Red Marquee changes that a little. At 45c, it was an absolute steal in my opinion and definitely one worth picking up!!
The Red Marquee was only available until Friday 04/09/2026, so if you didn't grab one, you'll have to hope someone is willing to part with theirs (not me)!

Spatial Planes: A new tool for builders!
A new tool for builders is coming to Origins and this one could open up some seriously interesting possibilities!
Spatial Planes will allow rooms to have multiple "planes" (levels?), meaning you'll be able to create different levels within the same room. Think being able to walk underneath and over the top of things rather than everything having to exist on one flat level.
This could completely change what builders are able to create. Multi level rooms, bridges you can actually walk underneath, platforms above the ground and all sorts of weird and wonderful builds that simply aren't possible with the current system. Hell, Neverends can even walk under his helicopter.
We can't wait to see what you lot do with this one. We're expecting some absolute madness!
Macklebee did say this would land as an opt in trial and wouldn't be turned on for everyone. We're assuming this is on a room by room basis, but we shall see!
Although, we're already even more terrified of what ChrisYepYep is going to do with his next maze...

Meow and woof, it (was) transformation time!
Whisker Wink and Bark in a Bottle transformation potions were re-enabled this week... For about 10 minutes.
These were originally earned during the Origins 2nd Birthday Present Smash celebrations and let you transform your Habbo into a little cat or little dog. They were previously disabled due to some issues with how the transformations interacted with certain furniture around the hotel as well as... Duplicating Habbos?
I think Macklebee forgot about this before re-enabling them and turened the hotel into a weird version of The Presteige (great film BTW). It was fun while it lasted I suppose, even though I was asleep :msnangry:
Previously, they were needed to complete the Activity Track associated with the event but hopefully they'll be back as fun little keepsakes to enjoy!

Season 2 EC Shop is open!
The Season 2 EC Shop is now open!
We've had a good few weeks of EC events which means some of you (not me, because I suck) have managed to get your hands on some Season 2 EC Tokens.
The shop works much like Season 1. Simply head to your inventory, click on your Season 2 Token and hit the Use button to open the shop. Wait... No, it's not the simple. Theres currently a bug happenning that means you need to do a secific set of events to get into the shop!
Open backback > Click S1 EC token > Use to ops S1 EC shop > Click items tab > Click consumable tab > Click S2 EC Token > Use to open shop
There's some lovely stuff up for grabs, but I really need that Duck Infostand... All... The... Ducks...
So... many... ducks.

Kingdom of Sands room competition
We all know everyone is itching to see the results of the latest room competition to hit Origins.
Lately, it feels like room competition results have been getting slower and slower to arrive but, to be fair, the last few competitions have been really well judged. So perhaps the wait is worth it after all!
Macklebee did mention that the results are on his list during a Discord chat one night. So hopefully that means they're coming soon?
But wait... does that also mean Macklebee is now judging the competition?
If you look back at the results from the last room competition, you might even spot a certain stray Macklebee making an appearance in one of the images...
Fair play!

Congratulations Spidercides!
Last week we talked about Spidercides hosting his 100th EC event and how you could grab yourself a special badge to celebrate the occasion.
Apart from the fact that I lost my mind in that panic tile room for HOURS (THANK YOU...), it seems Origins players weren't the only ones leaving with a special prize.
Over the course of Origins being back, Habbos have been collecting Habbo Tower trophies for helping out with the game, whether that's finding bugs and exploits, working on the client, hosting events and more. Multiple people have more than one trophy to their name but so far, they've all been bronze and silver.
Spidercides is the first among us to receive a gold trophy!
That means he's also the first person to complete the full set. A pretty fitting reward for someone who's now hosted an incredible 100 EC events!
Congratulations to Spidercides and here's to another 100 EC events!
...Platinum Tower trophy?????

This week's Funky Friday
Looks like we're without an update this week... so far!
A post in Discord did mention that it's being pushed into the weekend or perhaps a little beyond. That's fine though. We can wait! The communication here was fantastic and a welcome change from simply having nothing to go on.
But does this mean we're in for a big update? Maybe a cooking preview? Or perhaps the preview for that new feature Macklebee teased on Twitter?
Who knows...
We're on the edge of our seats!
