Being an HK addict, I'm genuinely somewhat excited to hear about this. My biggest turnoff in the game though is that I have to be human...how absolutely boring.

YES. ;~; I've been waiting for a new MMo that might hold my interest for a few weeks, and it looks like this will be it.

I can only hope that - given its younger target audience - it's a little less grindtastic than most.

"Farming: players can run their own farms..."

If HKO provides a Harvest Moon-like experience, I will gladly submit my remaining years to the production of virtual fruits and vegetables. I shudder to think of how many of my gaming hours the various editions of that piece of digital crack have eaten up.

I'll definitely have to check out the game. Oh, not for me, for my daughter. To make sure it's kid-safe. I, uh, have no interest in a Hello Kitty game. None whatsoever. None. Nada. Nein.

BTW, I looked all over the site and couldn't find one mention of Chococat. No Chococat? WTF!? I ain't playing if he ain't in the game!

Um. I mean my daughter's not playing if Chococat's not in the game.

Seriously though, it's free, why not give it a try? I'm sure the "story" in the game is supremely terrible, but I'd wager the majority of people who play WoW don't care about the story in that game either.

I'm sure I'll get sick of it rather quickly but hey I'm willing to try most any game just see how it is.

"Targeting female players from their pre-teens to twenties, Hello Kitty Online is the first installable MMORPG to set its sights on this demographic profile."

No kidding, my girlfriend literally shoved me away from the computer when I showed her the screens.

When I showed her the line reading "Only one MMO could possibly release World of Warcraft's death-grip on the massively multiplayer gaming market" and explained that WoW had 9 million subscribers she replied, "Who cares? This is Hello Kitty!".

GG, where can I buy stocks from the developer.
