Sulake Building New Virtual World; Going Habbo 3D?

Sulake has posted a job listing "looking for a talented 3D graphic designer for a new virtual world title." Habbo, its current 2.5D virtual world, has certainly shown that you don't need 3D to be successful: users have created over 114 million of the cartoon-ish avatars, and the world draws near 10 million monthly uniques.

That said, as users become more exposed to virtual worlds and hardware removes accessibility issues, it makes sense that users, and developers, may want to look to 3D.  Sulake has previously experimented with other worlds, notably drawing 110,000 users to its mobile world Mini Friday. When asked about the job listing or what the new world might be, though, Sulake declined to comment. [via Payment Guy]

Ill Design It Ill Make The Habbo's! They Should have new clothes too the norms can take the HC clothes and we make new HC clothes Huh? Huh? Lol Please Pick me!

Id Rather keep the old habbo, Sulake is destroying habbo bit by bit, by releasing new updates that everyone hates. I dont think sulake will make it through these hard times.
EVERYONE is on strike in the vritual world.
