Hey everyone!
It has been a whole week since we launched and I want to start by saying, on behalf of all of us here at Frankly, thank you. Honestly, I don’t think it could have gone better if we tried. The reception has been great and we’re glad you’re all enjoying making your profiles, interacting with each other and creating some absolutely cracking scenes on the ProImager. It’s been a blast!
That said, we won’t be slowing down. In this article I’m going to outline a few things we’ve added over the past week, along with a couple of surprises we’re dropping right now.
A Partnership
Most of you are hopefully aware of HabboFishing and HabboGardening by now. Those are run by the talented and dedicated Ice…Skater! When we first opened, Ice reached out about partnering with us and we couldn’t say no.
So what does this mean? Simply put, Frankly is now the official home of Ice..Skater and the best place to reach him regarding those sites. Ice also mentioned he may get involved with some giveaways and other fun stuff in the future, which we’re really excited about. I can’t wait to see where this takes us.
To celebrate the partnership, we’ve added two new items to Frank’s Stamp Shack. These are the Habbo Skills Fishing Rod and the Habbo Skills Gardening Fork. Once purchased, they’ll sit in your inventory. As long as they’re there, whenever you’re fishing or gardening in game there’s a chance you could fish up or dig up some Frankly stamps for your stamp card. Pretty cool, right? And maybe something more…
Profile Updates
Profiles now include a visibility option in edit mode. This lets you choose whether people who are not logged in can view your profile. By default, profiles are set to Private, which means only Frankly members can see them.
You can now also use profile picture backgrounds, which are available in Frank’s Stamp Shack. These replace the colour behind your avatar with an image. You can change your current background in edit mode using the small cog next to your Habbo in the Bio box.
To help avoid any confusion while editing, an EDIT MODE banner has been added above the navigation so you do not accidentally forget to save your changes.
Posting and liking another user’s post for the first time now has a chance to award 1 to 3 stamps, although this does have a cooldown.
We have also fixed bugs affecting All Friends and the Magic Wardrobe.
Finally, two new profile achievements have been added!
A New (old?) Face!
I also want to take a moment to welcome a new, old (but gold) face to Frankly Origins. Please join me in welcoming Kurplur! Kurps will be joining the Articles and Guides team and will be helping bring you some great guides and some wicked articles. I can’t wait to see the content you and Sprig come up with.
Kurplur has been around Origins since the start and always seems to pop his head back up whenever something cool appears. So we’re honoured to have him on board. Welcome aboard, chap!
Values/Furni
The reception to the rare values has been phenomenal, so thank you! We really appreciate you trusting us with them.
We also want to let you know that we’re currently in the process of adding all the seasonal items. You may notice some unfinished categories and lots of new items without values yet. Please bear with us while we work through them. We’ll get there!
New Profile Badges/Achievements
Mentioned above, we've added 2 more acheivments related to your profile. But that's not all., Take a look at all 4 of the new badges that you can grab, from now!
