Before we start, I just wanna say that’s its really cool to get a nice comment from Havel in the previous entry. I tried leaving a Thank you comment on Havel’s blog but it didn’t appear. I couldn’t figure out if it couldn’t be submitted or if it was waiting to be moderated. Mabe I’ll try again later. Thanks Havel, appreciate your dropping by!

I spent a chatty afternoon around Sanrio Harbour today. Yes, I am still in newbie land… very slow I know. I was out the whole of yesterday, and had a buffet dinner with mommy to celebrate Mother’s Day. All that buffet food must have added pounds to me so my avatar and I did a lot of exercises today - we chopped trees that looked like snails, jumping man-eater-looking flowers and we gathered flower stuff along the coast.

All the time we enjoyed the chatter that was going on with Ygg… (the “Yoda” who knows everything and was kind enough to stand there and answer questions from us newbies), Milchst… (sounds German but in Hong Kong), Cathy (who disappeared suddenly), Kai Lee (who taught me how to equip my broken wand) and others.

Oh by the way, my broken wand actually looks more like a broom. But when I hover my cursor over it in the inventory window,  it tells me its a “broken wand”. Maybe it just can’t get over being a broom, I don’t know. Mabe that’s why its broken.

Regardless once I equipped my broom/broken wand, my health points went up to 130 :D, and its time to try attacking, I mean enchanting something with my new broken wand. *tink* 

All around, the starfish started seeing stars. They must have admired the rotating decoration alot because they all started standing really still.

Perhaps I overdid the mass starfish concussion exercise, because unexpectedly the game hanged

You know that blog article about Hello Kitty Online being too violent? It’s a joke, because in HKO when anything gets whacked they just see stars and stand still minding their own business for a while.

So maybe I really shouldn’t be so joyful about whacking all the starfish because I am being punished for it now. When I tried logging in again after it hanged, I discovered … :_(

I’ve emailed the game administrator, so hopefully they can help persude the server to come back. I’ll update again when there are new developments.

Meanwhile, check out the game’s online tutorial videos at  http://blog.hellokitty.com/mmorpg. I found the chatting tutorial particularly useful, and was embarrassed to learn that I had been broadcasting to the whole server this afternoon, when I should really be chatting to players on the map.
