INTERVIEW: Ease of use & is HabboHotel a VC?

My third set of questions was: Do you think using HabboHotel is simple? Do you enjoy being here? And do you think HabboHotel is a virtual community? All the interviewees found that it was very easy to use HabboHotel and there was always someone to ask for help if you get lost. All of them enjoyed being a Habbo and being on HabboHotel from day one. However, when it came to the third question of this set, Most of them had never even heard of the word “virtual community”. I had to rephrase my question by asking them whether they feel that their involvement in HabboHotel is real or virtual to them. And their answers were “pretty real” except two guys who thought it was just a place to make a friend and then they would prefer to continue outside HabboHotel (on msn or offline).
