I’m a little sad that it’s not available to play yet, but since they are doing extensive work on it I guess that it’s okay.  I still love Hello Kitty! =^_^=

I was just hoping that now school is out and I have time and the internet, that I could play it. Oh well, it just means that it’ll be THAT much better when it does finally release, right?

I am so excited about the talks going on to release HKO in North America! I am also equally excited that Aeria is going to partner with Sanrio for this one! Aeria games are always a big hit online, and I really hope that together the Sanrio and the Aeria names will bring in LOTS of players!

I really can’t wait! I hope that HKO releases SOON!!!

Hello everyone! Well…I was going to drive back to my parents’ house over the weekend so that I could try HKO…but I caught the flu last week! URGH! It took me the entire week to get over the fever…and so since I can only use internet at the school’s computer lab, it doesn’t look like I’ll get to participate in the Happy Hearts event. =(

SO…since I’m missing out, I’d like a favor! Lol!  I’m going to try and start a thread in the forums.  It’s going to ask for a screenshot, and to describe your fav. part of the game so far and why! =) I like to know what other people are doing in the game and how they’re having fun, too!

Thanks everyone!  See you in sanriotown! =^_^=

Wow, talk about coincidence! After my last post they post about the Happy Hearts event!  I guess you already know what I think about this then…I think it’s absolutely AWESOME! ^_^ The impatience will be satiated because we (the holders? lol) will actually be able to experience what we’re waiting for…and the HKO team will know what kind of server troubles they can expect when they officially open!

Great idea HKO team! Keep up the good work!

I understand that they’re taking their time in trying to make the game as good as possible before they open it…and I really appreciate the hard work too…but lol! I’m already impatient!

I also know that these “founders events” are really trial-runs for new things, but they just seem to add salt to the wounds of those of us who aren’t founders.  It’s really hard to be patient when I continue to read about how much fun the founders have had, you know?

I just hope that when the open beta finally opens, it doesn’t end up like Lineage II and have a huge server crash on the first day, due to the wave of people rushing on to play the game. =\

It does help, however, not having internet while I’m at school.  That means that I couldn’t play even if it were to come out right this second, lol!  I’m hoping that I’ll be able to play over Spring Break or Summer Vacation…although this summer officially begins my wedding planning! Eep! Lol, that’s a whole other subject, though. ^_~

Alrighty then, I’m gonna log-off now. See you all later!

I dunno about ya’ll, but I definitely appreciate the video on what’s being updated. ^_^ It makes the wait a little more bearable to actually see what is being done for the game.  The new features (moveable windows, etc) are a great idea, and although I’m not a founder, I bet that it’ll make playing a lot easier too!

I hope the chat filter is the kind where you can still type your own sentences, but it just blocks bad words.  I really dislike the “choose a sentence from a list” filters, it makes conversation difficult.  That’s the whole part of playing a game in a community, the conversation.

I guess we’ll have to wait and see what the developers come up with! Goodluck HKO team!

When are we going to be able to play?  I’ve been so anxious…there have been private beta tests, and news…but no news that I can find on when HKO will open its doors to regular sanriotown members.

=( I guess I was just hoping that I’d be able to play before the end of the winter break.  I guess now I’ll have to look forward to summer.

Congrats to all of the guilds who won the Food for Friends competition!  It’s really wonderful that Sanrio came up with a way that their members can help those less fortunate, as well as make it fun, exciting, and rewarding for those who participated!  I’m so happy that it was a success, and I hope to see contests like this one in the future!

Ack! things have been so busy these past few months, I don’t know where to begin!  Sorry for the long absence, but schoolwork takes precedence, you know?

I think I did very well at my summer job, and I try to go visit the people there when I can.  I am now back at school, which means my internet access is a little more limited than it used to be.  I didn’t forget about HKO, though!  I’ve just been super-busy this month!  I am so excited about the beta right now, I just sent in my e-mail today, so I hope that I am not too late!

Oh, and a little belated happy-birthday to Hello Kitty!!

Wow! I’ve been gone for a little while!  I got a job, and so I’ve been working 8 hrs a day…keeping busy, lol.

 I have been trying to keep up with the news on HKO however! So I just wanna say first, CONGRATULATIONS!! lol! Way to go ripplecloud for winning the trailer contest! That’s absolutely great!  Your video is awesome, too!

 We also have some release-dates from the HKO team now! Huzzah!!!

“For both Europe and North America,we plan to have another Closed Beta for Q3 2008. After that,Open Beta will grace both continents during Q4 and commercial launch will be somewhere around the end of Q4 and the beginning of Q1 of 2009. As for the English speaking Asian regions,Open Beta will begin in 2009 and the commercial launch will follow very,very soon after.  Lots and lots of work to be done until then,but for now,just keep your web eyes peeled.” From: MMOsite Interview!

I may sound a little stupid for admitting this, but I had to ask my older brother what the “Q’s” stood for.  He says that they stand for the word “Quarter”.  Apparently, in business terms, the year is divided into 4 quarters, and the dates are specifically designed to the company’s schedule.  However, we wouldn’t be able to know when each quarter begins/ends without more information. (Thanks big bro! lol)

I also want to say thanks to everyone who has stopped by and read my little blog, or has even posted/rated! That’s awesome, thanks!!! =^_^=
