Monster Stats/Difficulty

We’re working carefully on adjusting game difficulty in Hello Kitty Online, and I’d like to explain some changes we have already made to balance monster difficulty and rewards. First, we have improved the stat bonuses on quest reward items in Sanrio Harbour. Secondly, merchant NPCs in all major cities except Sanrio Harbour now offer more powerful items for sale. These improved quest rewards and merchant items should make it easier to face monsters in the wilderness of Sanrio Land.

Also, we’ve started working on some substantial adjustments to the stats themselves that will make things easier for everyone. It’ll take some time, but we’ll keep you updated on our progress!

Hello Kitty’s 35th Birthday

We’d also like to take this time to thank you all for celebrating Hello Kitty’s 35th Birthday with us. We were thrilled to receive your feedback, and we’re glad that you all enjoyed the event! We can’t wait to see you in our next celebration, which is…

The HKO In-game Christmas Event

You can feel it in the air — the holidays are just around the corner! We’re working on another special event for our players across all regions. We know you’re expecting it, and we don’t intend to let you down! Get your holiday spirit ready for:

• Two special new quest chains featuring our very own Santa and a quirky new character who’s about to cause some big trouble

• Bingo and the Emote Game will be back

• More cute holiday-themed items for you to collect

• A final event similar to the 35th Birthday party, with a surprise twist!

Players rushed to the General Goods Merchant where the first out of six witnesses of the lost GM stood. They were asked to read and solve the clues, posted in the in-game blog feature, which will point to the location of the next witness.

The journey from one place to the other was the highlight of the event. Not only were players toured around the game but they also learned a lot of in-game features that only Hello Kitty Online offers.

Everyone was successful in finding GM-Galatea! They were all rewarded with full set of equipment as a token of GM-Azrael’s gratitude for finding his missing friend.

Congratulations to all participants and we hope you enjoyed your trip with the Tour Bus Guide!

The festivities started with several games lead by the Game Masters. Players then participated in a massive treasure hunt that took them to specific points in London. Everyone joined in and it was an awesome spectacle to see:

Soon the clues brought them to a special treat: A giant Piñata!

The players rushed in to break it, and as soon as it cracked, they all received very special treats!  Hello Kitty was also there to join the fun!
