Will this be FFA PvP?

PvP lol, I doubt it, but it's been said to be F2P already.

so finally some form of an "open beta" seems like the game is almost there though!

Very cool, I'm downloading it as I type it!

While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, one should bear in mind that just because its pink and cute does not mean it is a kids product.

Infact, what was the surprise audience in Toontown? Adults, even more interestingly people used to say bubble pop and other casual games on real arcade where for little kids too, and who played those? Adult women!

So now to the real big question, when is this going to be published and released? And when will be released in the US?

Realistically, I think it will be more like competition rather than a real PvP, doesn't seem to make sense

Lol, over 7400 views!

More than all the other videos combined for the last two days, LOL

This is weird, why is there a separate comments section AND a forum section and a separate forum in Hello Kitty Online Game? Isn't that all a bit confusing?

full loot is very discouraging for players, it promotes a very nasty way of behaving towards people who have lost, a game like EVE is not as "avatar" driven. It's one thing to lose your bag of gold, losing all loot is a bit like being demoted several ranks and nobody likes that.

cute vs cute !

Hear hear, I agree with that! Sometimes I think the color pink just drives everyone nuts lol

Well the closed beta is over, I've tried it, the game was surprisingly mature and well baked. No crashes or funny bugs, but only one world was open so it wasn't that big of a map, so I'd say they should be ready soon IMO.

well hear it from a Man who tried it, it was really fun and I say if Animal Crossing and Harvest Moon is fun for men and boys alike, then so is this!

As if Age of Conan isn't for adults only ;-) I've read my share of violent comics and books in my time and I certainly wasn't an adult male then, since when did Orcs, Wizards and Dragons become the exclusive realm of so called adults?

D&D anyone? how old where you when you met your first Wizard/Orc/Dragon (for the men out there lol)

I mentioned in another post about the wowinsider article.

There is definitely a fascination about pink, HKO and the whole hardcore male gamer scenes.

I truly believe this to be a Wii phenomena, when Nintendo announced at the time its Nintendo Revolution, how many actually took it serious? When they changed it to the Wii it was the butt of many ugly jokes, all from the Xbox and PS generation.

Look who'se laughing now?

hmm, I seem to recall the phrase "no pointless violence" inside the game lol

That's a fair point, although still even then the mind should open up to something new and different

as the expression goes, be careful what you wish for?

Maple story badly needs an upgrade, it was great when it first launched as a nice introductory MMO for starters and some fun but now the competition is heating up, not to mention that the graphics are dated.

My money is on Hello Kitty Online to do what Maplestory did, it seems to be just that higher level for the non MMO'ers....

So now that the closed beta is over, when is the open beta finally going to start?!
