Hello Kitty Online has to be the girliest, silliest looking MMO in existence, and if I close my eyes tight I can easily imagine scores of eight year old girls getting glued to their computers at an early age and driving their mothers to a life of anti-gaming rallies. Still, there's some small part of me that wants to play it. I don't know, maybe it's that I'm attracted to silly things, or that I'm curious what a Hello Kitty MMO would be like. Or maybe the eight year old girl in me wants to play it and forget all my grown-up cares. Who knows?
At any rate, there is a new trailer for the title (see after the jump) that ought to encrust your eyelids with sugar just by watching it. The free-to-play MMO is currently taking signups for the closed beta in the US, and if, like me, you find some weird craving to download it and see what it's all about, you can do so here. If you're male and you choose to do this and are discovered by a parent, girlfriend, brother or otherwise, please do not blame me for the sh*tstorm that ensues afterwards.
Baby listen... it's been four months since you've worked. I know you love the online cats and all, but we're hurting here! I haven't seen you leave this room since... Saturday. The cats aren't real!
They can't love you like I can! LOOK! LOOK AT THIS RING ON MY FINGER! Look at yours! Cats can't do that! Cats can't love you like I can!
Ummmm.... Colette's a lady? Sooo I suppose the threat of obliterated testicles doesn't really apply. Maybe if you threatened to obliterate a pair of testicles for every hour spent playing it, she might change her mind?
Oh god. I loved Hello Kitty when I was little.... Why did you post this?! I'll blackout and wake to find myself playing HKO with a level 50 Kittymancer. T_T
I.. am.. so.. so.. curious.. But would it be like.. if I were to start this up, wouldn't that be like going into the girls bathroom? it's so forbidden and yet....
Was asked to do a review/first impressions of the Hello Kitty Online Beta months ago. Best described as light-hearted fare with a megaton of cuteness wrapped up into an adventure MMO with social networking features. It's kids stuff, I figure any adult would get bored of it, y'know...No dragons or Singing Sword of Destiny +60 HP.
What I do remember most was everybody was really friendly and helpful. Which was shocking to me cause I had been playing EVE Online for the last 6-7 months where most people would sooner blow you up than anything else.
I read the game has a lot of do with collecting things and stuff. I have a friend who plays wow but loves collection games. I've been trying to convince him to play this purely because I'm evil. He has not appreciated my efforts.

You have been warned.
Don't you mean femsticles? The part in a woman that makes them indulge in steryotipicaly male things? Like Our Movaries.....

That is all.

Butters: "I don't play World of Warcraft."
Cartman: "Butters, you said you're on your computer all the time."
Butters: "Ya, but i'm playing Hello Kitty online adventure."
Cartman: "(Sigh) Butters, go buy World of Warcraft, install it onto your computer, and join the online sensation before we all murder you."
I blame Dtoid for this!!
