MMORPG.com's Carolyn Koh has been spending her time delving into the dark depths of the Hello Kitty Online Beta in recent weeks to bring us an in-depth look at this cute MMO based on the popular Hello Kitty franchise.

Hello Kitty Online. So cute you could puke. Yes? No? That was what I went out to discover as I entered Sanrioland, created my little avatar dressed in a plain tanktop and shorts, and named her. Not too many choices in faces and hair so I quickly settled on one and braced myself to be overwhelmed by “cute.”

It was. Overwhelmingly cute. What can I say? Hello Kitty and her friends – Badtz-Maru, My Melody, Purin, Pochaco, Keroppi, ad nauseum is all about cute. Their motto is “Bring Happiness to the World” and they surely try. The User Interface is simple – so simple it took me a while to figure it out – the green check icon means “Yes” dummy… The entire game can be navigated via mouse clicks and indeed, movement is done by mouse-click.

Created by Sanrio Digital and based in Hong Kong, Hello Kitty in Asia is targeted towards the “Office Ladies” – women in their twenties to their thirties, most who have never played an MMOG in their life. In the US, the demographic that Hello Kitty appeals to shifts downwards to the younger players in their teens. Players will also find that Hello Kitty Online is not just an MMOG, but an integrated social space, with blogs and mini-games that you can access directly from the game.

My God Armagedon is upon us.  We have all been given the kiss of death.  Why has this cruel world done this to us.  Do they having Butters running a company or something, just unbelievable.

When Butters talked about HKO in that episode, was the game already announced and in development?

I think the game is cute yet amusing. Just the idea of it, that is.

Keep this is mind - Not all MMO's are for YOU. There's a variety of individuals out there with different tastes. Why bash it? You haven't tried it out. Females do play games. Sheesh.

 

Oh my god, are you implying you'd be no man if you try a game like this? Grow up. lol

The mature types wouldn't bash any games, just to state opinions as to what needs to be improved and whatnot. NOW that's a man (in reference to who isn't).

Good luck with Hello Kitty Online.

Hey, alot of people were complaining about a new, different type of MMO.

Here you go.

--------------------------------------
A human and an Elf get captured by Skaven. The rat-men are getting ready to shoot the first hostage with Dwarf-made guns when he yells, "Earthquake!" The naturally nervous Skaven run and hide from the imaginary threat. He escapes. The Skaven regroup and bring out the Elf. Being very smart, the Elf has figured out what to do. When the Skaven get ready to shoot, the Elf, in order to scare them, yells, "Fire!"

Order of the White Border.

And I don't think I said someting about how strange you must be to play this game....? Well I can say you I will never try out the game, I can talk about everything, try everything.. but this Is going just too far for me.I don't think a lot of female players would like this game.. maby some kids.. But I don't believe you can take that game serious.

It''s one thing to have a opinion, but enforcing one is unconstitutional.

I was really starting to wonder when they would release a Hello Kitty MMO, well seemce they finally managed this step also.

Now the time has arrived for the Hello Kitty franchise to hit the Theme Park market as soon as possible by creating a Theme Park based exclusively on Hello Kitty elements.

Hmm...

Skill-based and with a very heavy emphasis on crafting...

Player housing - and you get a garden too!

This sounds disturbingly close to what some old fogies would consider a perfect MMO....

I might try it out. LOL

 

Im a female and Im quite an avid gamer.. and I like to expand my gaming experience in a variety of games. I cannot just stick with one at a time.. Id get burnt out easily. I think it's a cute game. There's no game that would be better than the other. It's just frankly simple, just don't play it. For an example, everyone's like zzzomg @ AoC and yet you guys get disappointed with the way things has turned out and it doesn't work well with your systems.. [sigh] Hello Kitty Online may be for you. ;]

I was just joking, I find it fun to mess with this mmo.  But, seriously I know alot of girls that would look into this game.  I am sure it will be rather successfull in Japan where is a way of life.  I am a little worried about some of the other people that might play the game, it could turn into the next myspace for ill willed people.

Nobody took Pokemon serious either, and look how much money it made!  Don't forget a plumber named Mario too. 

Oh, and that yellow rounded Pac-Man thing.

Difference here is that Hello Kitty is an established franchise, there is very little suprise in what you are going to get from this game.  Each of the others was a new idea and the concept was criticized.

I swear that I thought all the references to Hello Kitty MMOs were a joke.
