Hmm...

I don't agree at all, it's a beta, things fall over every once in a while and the one thing I will completely disagree on is the GM's who are a fary cry from any of the other GM's (who you don't see at all), the GM's in this game actually interact and involve you.

Must be talking about a different game

I got to say one thing, some of the players on HKO are surprisingly hardcore, I've been playing a bit and it's really nice and fun but some of these guys are like super-players.

The nice thing is that even though you're hardcore, the competitive element is nothing like in other mmo's, I like that.

I have a feeling that most of the people playing HKO are not going to be on Xfire....just a hunch you know

Hey, did anyone else just see this blog post/image? lol

It looks like English in the screenshots.  Not sure why they'd release it here otherwise unless it's super-easy to understand.

I noticed some chinese characters in some of the screenshots but that's likely to be the origin, clearly the website is all in english tells me this is intended for an english (speak US) market.

I don't think this game would not be able to go live without some strict security filters for the kids age group, I don't know what they are planning but with a brand like Hello Kitty I am fairly sure they will be wanting to protect kids safety, it's a bit like Disney isn't it?

To you people who cannot imagine why Hello Kitty would put an MMO ...  there are tons of girls who do not currently MMO.  This is a chance to get them hooked on the genre.   I thought we were all capitalists on these boards ... you guys should have figured that out already. 

I couldn't agree more, more girls in MMO's is the right thing to do I say!

Btw, who was the one posted about forced raiding in HKO? That would be too funny, what kind of raids would that be, the quest to drown the monster KillaCutiePies with the most fluffy pillow? LoL

but yes, my money is on HKO and I'm going to give it a try, laugh all you want! I'm going to play the game laughing all the way (or smiling or just being cute) rofl.

I think it has PvP as in pet vs. pet, but not sure about actual player PvP, there is some form of combat, I saw some pictures and blog entries where they were debating/discussing the merits of hitting starfish with a broom!

It's sort of Alice in wonderlandish surreal...if you think about it...

Thanks for sharing some of the insights, so what is this shot, people working together constructing your house? How long did it take, what did you have to do to get it made?

Judging from the various posts we might be looking months from now, I'm certainly hopeful!

says he with a warhammer online signage, very cool stuff.

I also would rather play HKO than AoC, I tried AoC actually, nice but run of the mill

Love the enthusiasm! Yes I agree with you, this before WoW or any other hardcore MMO.

I did not get a chance to play the open beta, but I will have to try it when it's out there, I do not know of any other major branded mmorpg (real one) that is actually free to play?
