Well, apparently I got the date wrong, so I actually got a chance to play on the last day. That made me soo happy! For my happiness and lack of screen shots before, I’ve got a post full of screen shot spamming. I really enjoyed my last day. And my wish was fulfilled. I actually got the Spirit of Christmas. I really can’t believe it, so thank you Astroasis, Sugar Chan, and Cricket! X3 I owe them so much by now. Ok, so onto the image spam. Since I didn’t want to hurt anyone’s internet…read more to see the screenshots:

Ah, did you ever notice that there are more events during the weekend? Well, obviously I’d understand that it happens because more people are free on the weekend, and it belongs on the date. The part that gets me so frustrated is that my computer that I use on the weekend (because that is when I am home) cannot play Hello Kitty Online. That means that I only get to play on the weekdays. But, I’m only free on the weekends, so…it’s a lose lose situation. I really was looking forward to Hello Kitty’s birthday until I realized I can’t play it. Also, for anyone who knows me in HKO (I’m Kireu), that’s the reason I don’t play on the weekends. It’s not fair…

Besides that, I have some good news. I found out that there are some parts that I’d like to call “Safety Spots” where monsters won’t attack you when you are gathering items, or just want to rest. I’ll add them to HKOLand soon, which is about the closest thing to HKO I can get to with interaction. So far, I found two for Sages, one for Spiders, and one for Sorosis.

So, now onto personal HKO experiences. I finally joined a guild! Yay, and they are so nice. I really love it there. I’m in the Super Cute guild, and the members help me so much. Join the guild! Yay for Thuan, SilverRain, and Phoeona, which are the only members I really have talked to so far…^_^”’ I’ve finally been able to improve and actually have fun, but after I did the Missing Key quest, I wasn’t able to open anything. I need to check my Key window to see if I actually got it.

HKOland is improving and being changed often so far. It is updated almost daily, and I finally got part of a page done for my first guide. It’s just Basic Controls, but it is good for new players. You can find it here. I hope you guys all enjoy it. ^_^ That’s it for now, but I’m going to get Food For Friends when I get back to HKO. Bye for now!

Yeah, yesterday I was so caught up in things that I didn’t have a chance to blog my day. I actually have been too busy today to actually play (I will post about this next). So I’ve noticed that the game has changed quite a bit now. This post will be quite short, so bear with me. This is from yesterday, but I just never  posted it up.

So, I found out that Hanin one of her quests, speaks Chinese, but if you encounter that in Sanrio Harbor, don’t worry. She gets her English back in the next dialogue. The crabs and player ratio is off,when I played, so everybody was fighting for crabs to fight. I unfortunately had to take some crab to fight from others. Boy did that make me feel guilty. But, I still don’t know why it took me an abnormal amount of time to finish the quest. T_T There is probably no 4th Day post and will continue off of Day 5.

First of all, I ended up choosing the name “Kireu” because spaces are not allowed apparently anymore. So, when you start the game, you appear in the Dream Room, and you can decide if you want to do a brief training thing in the other Dream Rooms, or you can just go to the game. But if you go straight to the game, you’ll never be able to return back, so I just did the instructional tutorial. I thought the doors would never end (sorry just saying)! It didn’t help that much since I already knew, but you should still go there.

After I went there, I was at Sanrio Harbor, and since I couldn’t get it to connect yesterday, I had to start today. Because of this, I was really newbie-ish and I still am a little because most people started before me (homework). I did the first couple quests, and you actually get clothes in the beginning, unlike before. It’s really different than the CB, because you did the whole learning in Sanrio Harbor before, but now you did it in Dream Rooms so Sanrio Harbor was like the other rooms.

I did find it hard to attack monsters and talk to NPCs. I’m not sure if it’s just me or the system. I also found that it was hard for me to access the blog and e-mail through the game, and it kept lagging excessively until I couldn’t play at all. So I have to blog without playing the game. :’( Another thing I found is that Hello Kitty was actually in the Dream Room, while the site said that you would need to find Hello Kitty. In the CB, you had to work hard to finally get to the key to Hello Kitty’s house. But she’s right there, in the Dream Room. I also found a typo, with London spelled “Londan.” I was going to post a screenie, but I can’t connect to the game right now. Which brings me to another bug: when I can’t connect to the server, I have to go to the task manager to close it. It will not close on when I click the X button, because the mouse would disappear from behind the window. The mouse doesn’t move when it gets the “Cannot Connect to Server” window. Another thing is that they walk kinda slow when I want to go from one NPC to another, and I think that they should add a “run” feature like on other games, but it will take more energy. Ah, I have to e-mail all of this to them.

I did a couple quests, I should finish, but I feel like doing the blogging about it right now. And listening to my own music. A suggestion: keep everything you get, you might need it later. When I did the Shamrock gathering, I was like, “What is the need for these Rare Shamrocks?” and it turns out that I needed it for another quest. So be prepared. When you fight monsters, you will need to do the Sora quest first, to get the wand to fight. It might be the case that you can fight Hermit Crabs without a weapon, but I never tried it (I will need to check).

Well, right now I will try to connect to the game, again and again, and try to post up a screenie or two! I hope this has helped somewhat. See you in-game!
