Alt Culture

It is very common for old habbos to start using alts. This is for several reasons. They could like having multiple names, they like collecting rare names or names that they like, or they wish to be anonymous in the hotel and not be associated with the persona that the public see's them on their main. It is common for habbos to use alts to do everything from fill in game/giveaway rooms to get more prizes, to being able to anonymously witness habbo drama. It is a frequent occurance for rooms that have specifically potent drama going on to have alts in the entrance full of habbo regular watching and enjoying the show without having to have their persona play a part in the drama.

Alts can also be used to troll users through their username by placing (target's username)=(insult) so that when people search that user, the troll username also shows up. Many experienced habbos combat this by creating a flood of usernames similar to their main's so that the troll username doesn't show up.

Most commonly however, alts are used when the main account is muted or banned so that the user can keep playing the game. Even more commonly, they are used so the user can troll around anonymously.
