Santa’s work was going smoothly and Mr. Jinch was having fun with all his pranks, but suddenly there was an unexpected turn of events in Hello Kitty Online!

Humbug, Mr. Jinch’s pet Beetil, has decided to cause some trouble of his own. The little bug has taken over the holidays by running across all the cities and stealing gifts and treats from everyone – including Santa and Mr. Jinch! These goodies were meant to be given to all adventurers, so go take them back to save the Holidays!

Where are they?

Humbug played around with Mr. Jinch’s secret stash of magic dust, and used it to steal Giant Gift Boxes, which are hidden and scattered in different maps. There’s only one way to make the Giant Gift Boxes reappear: gather together at the right time and place!

How do we get The Gift Boxes back?

Wait for the GM announcement on December 23, 2009 and head to Sanrio Harbour to help recover the Gift Boxes snatched by Humbug. You will all need to work together, regardless of  whether you’ve been helping Santa or Mr. Jinch!

Once enough of you gather at the right spot, Giant Gift Boxes will appear around the whole map. Scramble to find them, open them, and get the treats inside! Once you’re done with this, head off to the next location to reveal the next set of Giant Gift Boxes, and keep doing this until you’ve retrieved all the missing items. Follow the GM’s lead, and you’re sure to figure it out!

Remember, everyone must participate in order to reverse the magic – so as soon as you hear the GM announcement, rush to Sanrio Harbour without delay! Good luck adventurer!
