BEST GAME EVER!!!!

lol sig.

  This is great news of all of the NGE Players of SWG . This game should go live about time NGE shuts down . Its a no brainer game jump for those with no brains,

    You mean I have to be a cutesy human and not a cute little kitty cat? :( :( :( :(     All is dust.

Haha....

This game will test the man in you! Not to mention half of the guys bashing this game in a very special fashion, probably will be playing it in secret.

If the game is hilarious and makes you drop half dead of laughter, why not play it?

All i see here, are a bunch of wannabee "mature" guys having no balls.

I'm there if they make a FFA PVP server.

With full looting.

a hello kitty-pvp server xD

little kittys smashing on each other to dead, I hope you see a lot of blood

1) This game has been in development for way too long... I remember reading about this before WoW came out...

2) It looks like they bought the engine rights from Fairyland, if anyone else remembers that game. Nice looking, but still isometric and cheap

3) ... North American release date? I hope not. Keep it to the asias.

Just curious why is this site bothering itself with a children's game?

I am sure there is a market for Hello Kitty, It has been going since the early 70's and has many fans..

That aside, take a look at this, it comes straight from the Hello Kitty Wiki,

"A planned Sanrio themed MMORPG, Hello Kitty Online, is currently in beta testing. The developers are SanrioDigital and Typhoon Games. After creating an account, one can make a character and customize them. In addition to fighting monsters and socializing, one can mine for ores, farm, cook, etc. Quests are a part of the game, being able to meet other Sanrio characters as well. Pets and housing have been implemented too. Among the first to play the game have been hard-core World of Warcraft gamers."

Last sentence is the one to read!!

Hello Kitty is actually extremely popular with adults, particularly women of all ages.  There is a Sanrio store at the Mall of America, and I'd guess "kids" (with their parents) probably only account for maybe 1/4 of their business.  Mostly it's women and geeky guys who are into anything Japanese.

Even if HKO *was* primarily targetting children (which I don't think it really is), MMORPG.com as far as I know does not discriminate against kid-friendly MMO's.  Check out the entries for ToonTown, Pirates of the Caribbean Online, and all those cutesy Asian F2P's that under-18 kids tend to play (since their parents won't let them actually PAY for a game).
