Merge Compensation
Merge Compensation was given out to Habbos when the English-speaking hotels merged. Because different hotels had released different rares at different times the merge caused many issues in terms of how much each rare was worth afterwards, so in order to react against this and to prevent mass-selling of items pre-merge the staff issued Merge Compensation furni. The intention was that drops in furni price wouldn't cause someone to lose all of their accumulated worth.
Gift
After merging their accounts and moving over to the newly merged hotel, users would receive a gift from the hotel management with merge compensation furniture inside.
The Merge Compensation gift contained a range of furniture items, some with less likelihood of being received than others and so some being considered rarer as a result. The Ultramarine has since become the rarest item, followed by the various colours of Carp, while the Ultimate Machine remains plentiful and tends to be cheaply listed in the marketplace.
Very few of these gift boxes remain as Habbos were keen to see what items they had been awarded in the merge. However, only a few months following the merged users began reporting faults with their gift opening such as displaying "error: 1" when the user clicked 'open'. Habbos were advised to use the Help Tool to request staff to open it for them.[1] Very few of these gift boxes remain on the hotel, though a few examples can still be found.
The merge gift is of the default present style and with a hidden sender (distributed by hotel management) - in this way, it appears similar today to the 2002 gift from Ione.
