The site, in 2007
A pixel-art virtual hotel where teenagers chatted, played games and furnished their own rooms, made by the Finnish company Sulake.
It grew from a Finnish hobby project into hotels in dozens of countries. Furniture was bought with credits paid for with real money. By October 2020, 316 million avatars had been registered.
In 2007: In August the Chinese hotel closed temporarily, because of a hard market and high running costs.
Web 2.0 era, 2003 to 2008. Rounded corners, reflections and drop shadows. Everything was social, and everything was in beta.
Cult Classics: Small, strange and loved to bits by the people who found them.
