After years of anticipation, Habbo Hotel: Origins has brought back our beloved feature: TraxMachine! Known for letting players unleash their musical creativity, the return of Trax has sparked a wave of excitement among long-time fans. Here’s a breakdown of everything you need to know and what’s coming up next as this feature makes its return.

Trax Polls and Feedback

An Infobus poll was conducted to gather player feedback on the return of Trax. The poll gave players the chance to share their thoughts on what they’d like to see with Trax’s return and how it might evolve. Following this, the Trax Poll Results were published, providing insight into the community’s top requests and preferences for the feature. From customization options to music-sharing possibilities, the poll results highlight the community’s love for this interactive feature:

• ✅ SHOULD TRAX RETURN TO ORIGINS?

  • ❌ Global NO votes: 101 (14.7%)

The Community’s Voice on Trax’s Comeback

With an overwhelming response, the poll results reveal the community’s enthusiasm for the Trax feature. However, this enthusiasm was accompanied by some concerns, such as making Traxmachines tradable, allowing multiple machines in the same room, and whether it would be a temporary or permanent game feature. Some cool ideas were also brought up, like a Funky Friday Trax-themed release of a mini speaker box in the style and colors of the Traxmachine for decorating.

Unfortunately, the Trax feature was introduced alongside the “Widescreen” feature (a poll conducted the week after the Trax poll), which came with several game-breaking bugs that forced developers to delay the Trax release. And when it finally arrived, Jukeboxes were not yet available, making burned CDs practically useless. The good side is that it came with 3 always-available sample sets, without required having the furni in hand:

• [15] RnB Grooves 6
• [16] Hip hop Beats 3
• [31] Clubber's delight

What’s Next? TRAX MONTH!

There’s a lot to talk about from the Trax release announcement, which we’ll cover in a later post. Spoiler: it’s HUGE!
