Now I feel somehow dirty for wanting to try this out.

Thanks Jon.

Say hello to the true WoW killer...

Wait, it wants to say hello back to me? And it wants me to garden and dance and sing happy songs too?

Kill me.

Oh God!

If I had to chose between Hello Kitty Online and AoC?  I would forever quit MMOs for the rest of my life.......................! Now throw in Barbie's Adventures in Lala-Land MMO and I would forever shut my cell phone down for good as well...........Where has MMO gaming gone?

HKO battlegrounds are gonna rock!!!

I shudder to think what kind of graphical mods people will invent for this poor game and the resulting screenshots/movies that will get out on the web.

It's a really nice and cute trailer, and in glorious pink! Way to go Kitty Online, more more more!! lol!

WOW killer

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. 

This game sucks.  Linear gameplay, forced raiding, shallow crafting, and gold sellers.  Don't waste your time, stick with Dark and Light....

On a more serious note...$10 says it has more subs then wow.

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.

THIS .IS .THE .SINGLE .MOST .HAPPIEST .DAY .OF .MY .LIFE

Butters:  I dont play World of Warcraft

Cartman:  You said you're all day on the computer

Butters: Yes, but I'm playing Hello Kitty - Island Adventure

Hello Kitty Online got a mature rating so dont let you kids play this!!!

Those two people come here?!?

The scary part is that this game is bound to get a tonn of first time subs.

The Hello Kitty franchise is huge. It's like a combination of MacDonalds and Pokémon, and for some reason people can't get enough of it in Asia (dunno about the rest of Europe or America). It'll score subs just from people adding it to their Hello Kitty collection...

I predict this game will bring many Amber alerts.

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?

Most hardcore MMO's players will play this game, If only to be able to say "I have played ALL mmos, that includes HKO".  

And yes,... for some reason, Hello Kitty is still hte flag of cuteness for tons of people. Mostly womens and girls. 

I will be glad to play this game, a bit, to see how a different world, of cuteness, play.  I am not on the cuteness factor, but I love cute stuff, more like lolcats than hk....

With that e-mail/blog/picture shit, my daughter won't be playing it. Let the asians pimp their own kids.

The end of WOW is at hand! and it comes with purrrrrrr.

Let's see.

1. Skill-based instead of classes. I'm glad to see this! It could be a sandbox game to replace SWG. I'm sure it'll have more subs.

2. Housing. It has it. Sounds good. Is it a real MMO if it doesn't have housing? HKO sounds like it's for real, especially the garden aspect. I hope gardening ties in with crafting.

3. Quest-driven. I like questing, but I hope it's not so directed that the sandbox element is missing. There's a lot to be said for running around doing my own thing.

4. Crafting/Tradeskilling. It's not a real MMO if it doesn't have crafting. I'm glad to see HKO will have crafting.

5. Graphics. It looks kind of cartoony, but isn't that what they said about WoW?

6. Soloability. From the review it sounds like building housing is going to be a long process that's easiest with a guild. I hope this isn't true for release. I've done enough grinding in other MMOs to last a lifetime. Hopefully, soloers will have a place in HKO. We'll see.

7. Instancing. HKO doesn't appear to have instancing currently. This will appeal to the anti-instancing crowd.

8. Combat. It sounds like a simple auto-attack. I hope this is expanded after release into a full line of specials with awesome animations and a combat queue to stack moves. I like that it has pets, but I'm hoping for a real pet class, er, skill, whatever. A Taming skill like old UO would be best.

Technically, I've never played this and probably never will. However, I like what I see so far: a skill-based, quest-driven MMO with crafting and a real commitment to housing. Will this be the sandbox to replace SWG? Probably not, but it is skill-based, so I'll reserve judgment until I see SWG's sub numbers after this releases.

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?

Lol, over 7400 views!

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

I definatly agree Supermatt. This game has the making of a great MMO, but it comes in pink. UO was my favorite MMO of release, until they changed it... Imagine what HKO could do, if it revived that gaming experience!

Sounds like a great way to score some chicks.

Oh man, Warcraft is in serious trouble with this on the horizon!

well.....this game is certainly falling into the category of cartoon mmorpg like fairyland. but i might check it out.lolz

    I think the name of the game alone scares away 99 percent of the MMO playerbase.......

It's CUTE!!!  and fun and happy and nice and charming and adorable and all that squishy stuff that made it a zillion dollar franchise .

Next up: Barney / Teletubbies / Bananas in Pajamas / My Little Pony / etc Online.

If any of those things happen, I curse thee.

So --- how many little girls will be in serious trouble??  Seriously ... think about it. How many petifiles will play this game just to talk to little girls...

that's all I have to say -- not trying to offend anyone ... just seriously...

Well, by that definition, how many "little" boys are already in serious trouble? Seriously ... think about it...

Not trying to offend anyone either, but the risk of ped's is for anyone young and little for that matter and you'd think that the likes of Toontown and other would have found ways of protecting them. You know, if it's that obvious, it's less likely to happen, I'm much more concerned about the unchecked behaviour in places like Yahoo IM or other chat systems that are used by kids all over the world and are not subject to child protection laws.

OMG   I think I am going to faint. Brain damage +50%

Why did I watch this?!

best MMO ever, no doubt.

The next wow killer!
