for the Founders Beta, I will hence forth be at http://blog.hellokitty.com/bbegirl, see you there! Related HKO posts will no longer be in this test account (I should have moved a long, long time ago!)

And HKO way to go! Can’t wait until Oct. 8th!

The full text is here, but here’s a quick summary.

Hello Kitty Online MMO boasts several new additions and improvements
since the Closed Beta version, and the Founder’s Beta will feature a new game client with an improved interface, improved graphics and special effects, new monsters, new maps, new items, and the opening of London and Paris. The Founders’ Beta will also introduce
gameplay changes such as new skills, new pet systems and team-play
oriented enhancements.

I saw this posting from videogamenews that said we get extra stuff that others don’t have if they get into the founders beta, is that true?!

By giving away 20,000 accounts there is a much higher chance of getting in, anyone remember the Video Competitions from the last beta? I guess this time round they did not have to filter everyone else out as before.

If you don’t remember, here’s one of those (makes me smile everytime I see them), let the cuteness begin!

Ok, well Nr. 1 for a very brief period, but still, nr. 1!

And it’s still in the Top 5 most popular of the week. What is amazing is that it is so tightly contested when the news was on the page, this game will be loved by Men!

I just had to share this bit of funny news, mmorpg, the hardcore gaming site with hardcore news reviews has, as it’s 2nd most popular game (in the most Popular Tab) Hello Kitty Online! As some of you may know I’ve been having a ball being Pink in mmorpg but this is just really too funny, great job everyone it makes me so happy!

Warhammer may still be on top, but the gap between HKO and the likes of Lord of the Rings, Eve, Conan and even Warcraft is great!

Today’s screenshot is priceless! In the midst of all the hardcore MMO’s you see a bright spot of pink and happy. HKO in the middle with the exclusive trailer, and in the top most anticipated games, it’s also in the most popular category!

It means there is a whole lot of room for pink the dark worlds of MMO, muahahahahaha!

Hello Kitty invades Star World and taken over Darth Vader! It is clear who is the victor, muahahahahahaha!

Got this image from http://www.joystiq.com/2008/04/01/the-best-of-wow-insider-march-26-31-2008/#commentform and thought it was just funny obviously intended as a pun to Hello Kitty Online MMORPG. The Wrath of the Lich King is a WoW expansion pack.

So today I’m taking a quick break on the gaming side to say, what a great opening festival for the Beijing Olympics, not so much a debate about the rights and wrongs about the Olympics in China which was controversial enough, but it was a great show! Just wanted to share that, of course I had to post the one image that was as pink as possible!

I will preface this by saying I do not agree with this article, but it is interesting to read anyway, it goes something like this: The idea that little girls like everything in pink while little boys prefer blue appears to have a scientific basis according to a study showing that a person’s colour preference depends largely on their sex. To quote: However, early human societies almost certainly engaged in a division of labour between the sexes, with men travelling long distances to hunt wild game. Women, meanwhile, foraged locally for fruit and berries. Dr Hurlbert suggests that this division of labour may be at the root of why girls now prefer pink. “Evolution may have driven females to prefer reddish colours - reddish fruits, healthy, reddish faces. Culture may exploit and compound this natural female preference,” The full article is here. So girls like Pink because our ancestors picked berries, hmmm. So when “Men” were out slaughtering animals for food and saw red blood, why don’t they like red and pink either? How come girls wear all sorts of colors not just pink and I like pink but that’s as silly as saying men like blue because of what..they sky? As if girls don’t look at the sky…. I will remind everyone here that it is not that long ago that the Gender wars had boys supposedly better at Math than women, well this is now proven wrong despite the old “genetics” and “nature” arguments that appear to suit a male audience. Perhaps to drive home this point, the super hero we all needed for Hello Kitty Online! Isn’t he great! He will come to save the day, and he wears Pink with Pride!

This is an oldie but goldie! Super Hero in Pink and just the thing we need inside Hello Kitty Online!

Here’s super kitty showing off his super powers! See how the pink radiates? Pulsating energies in glowing pink powers come to rescue the netizens of Sanriotown and HKO!
