Massively Multiplayer Hello Kitty

Posted by Zonk on from the i-swear-i-am-not-making-this-up dept.

Thanks (I guess) to GameGossip for the news that SanrioWave Software is planning a Hello Kitty Massively Multiplayer Game. From the article: "The game will give players access to up to three characters, each customizable, and will include 15 different occupations, and five shops in which players can make in-game progress. Hello Kitty Online World will carry an subscription fee of sorts when launched throughout Asia later this year." The official game site is also available for perusal.

      You're getting this page because someone tried to link directly to an image or sound on my site. I'm glad you like the stuff I have. Really. But I am not here to serve as your personal server. My stuff is here as part of my pages. You can link to the pages, and use it from there, but if you attempt a direct link, you will be denied. If you really want to use something, the Johnny Cash ad being the most common, you can put it on your own server and link to that.

      See, the owner doesn't want to be /.'ed, you insensitive clod!

    These Sanrio characters are the only ones not controlable by you. They are the main theme and "God" of one Nation. For example, in Hello Kitty World, Hello Kitty reigns supreme as the overseer of the land. With her guidance, love and happiness is abound and people are able to live in the cute land of Kitty Kingdom in Hello Kitty World. Hello Kitty will be there during your important occasions to bless and help you. Hello Kitty will also arrive to give guidance and new missions to residents of her world.
    I dunno, that just sounds really damn freaky to me.

    So... the big question is - can Kittys PK each other?

      And for guys. At least, I assume the Hello! Kitty (and otehr Sanrio character) condoms are intended for little girls... I'm going to go out on a limb and guess they're going to leave that sort of licensed Sanrio product out of this game though.

    From the official page:

    Feeding (instruction)
    The Player must remember to feed his or her pet every day after the Angel has grown beyond the infancy stage. If this is neglected, the relationship between the Player and the Angel will drop and the Angel would take the Player's life bit by bit until it goes out of control.

    I envision a server full of cute, maniacal, life-sucking kittens and frogs.

  9. Soon to be seen in the Hello Kitty Forums by saladpuncher · · Score: 2, Funny

    I know the DEVS made some changes to the game with update patch 6 and I think they finally fixed the Badtz-Maru bug where you could take double cute points from mobs that used Enveloping Cute Shields. That's great and I think the people who play Badtz toons will really appreciate it. I think the DEVS have introduced another problem though.
    I finally got my Hello Kitty character up to 21 and I have Cute 3 slotted and Strange Attraction From Asian Girls 4 slotted. We went out Keroppi hunting in the Land of Unholy Pink where I have never had a problem before. We find a huge mob of them gathered around and having a tea party (did they increase mob size as well, 'cause I have never seen them in groups this size!?). So the Pochaccos move in to take agg and we are holding our own when suddenly they drop my Cute Shield and stun me with kisses! How can a +1 mob do stuns and holds now? The DEVS need to seriously reconsider this. I can see Chococat bosses doing these types of mezzes but this is ridiculous. Anyway, I managed to grab about 30k in debt last night from this debacle. Anyone else?
