Hello! I haven’t posted in a very very long time and I realize I guess I should throw in a post. Just for kicks. So Open Beta has started — I’m sad to say nothing carried over… but well… I’m glad to still see a few familiar names.

I celebrated Hello Kitty’s birthday for the second time on Hello Kitty Online! This time they had a massive event. Here are some screenshots:

Teleportation Activation - Very laggy.
More teleportation activation! - I’m glad the bridge held up.
View these in succession: 1. 2. 3. 4.

Then finally we arrived at the giant pinata!
Pinata at its prime. - Most people got d/ced when they got teleported; it’s no wonder. There were so many of us.
Pinata opened! - After our collaborative efforts… it finally opened!

And I got a bunch of items with the tokens. But I’m too lazy to screenshot them. So… moving on!

—

Another highlight is another Food for Friends guild event, which I took part in. The competition was rather… unsettling. People also asked for their prizes immediately after the event ended — even though the original purpose was to help Haiti. Well, all-in-all I hope we did something to help them to a certain extent. Here are some screenies of the food point values for the event; not as interesting as the guild points — but eh.

Day 1
Day 2
Day 3
Day 4
Day 5
Day 6
Day 7
Day 8
Day 9
LAST DAY. - At this point, most of us were glad it was done. There was also a fierce battle between Allstar Scouts and HKO Founders — with only approximately 1000 points difference between the final final scores.

And so. This blog post has hopefully addressed some events that I participated in in this Open Beta. There was also the Christmas event which I was mostly absent for… so it wasn’t really mentioned. I do like the mini events held by GMs occasionally though I have not documented them with screenies. So you’ll just have to guess what goes on. ;D

~The Conclusion~

I’ll have to say I appreciate the fact that it’s permanently open and that we are supposedly getting a smooth transition into commercial release. However, the amount of features released now compared to what we were testing back in Closed Beta or Founder’s Beta seems rather pathetic. The lack of farm selections compared to Founder’s Beta, the limited nature of the Item Mall, and the glitches found here and there. Of course, I am not saying it needs to be perfect, but sometimes I do wish there were more options for farms and houses like back in Founder’s Beta that do not require us to wait for either cash or loyalty point purchases.

Lastly, I think the GM-held events are a nice addition. Granted, they may be imperfect with the rules needing tweaking to suit the audience, but they do bring another level of social fun to the game. Also, getting to know the GMs more personally has always been a nice feature of HKO! That’s one thing you’ll rarely find in another MMO.

Well, although I’m not as active anymore… I do look forward to its commercial release!

Whoaaa. I haven’t updated in a long time since Founder’s Beta ended for the 2nd time. I participated in the Closed Beta of the North American version of HKO, which just ended this Saturday and like usual, I’d like to leave some thoughts behind about it.

In this beta, I was able to meet up with a lot of the people from Founder’s Beta and a bunch of new people as well. Founders couldn’t feel special in this version though since I believe that nothing was brought over from Founder’s Beta. However, there were lots of new features were added. New maps and TRAINS. [Though the trains were a tad anticlimatic with a ridiculously long wait between rides; hoping for changes.] New GMs. New events. A bit buggy sometimes, but I suppose it was a nice experience overall. Here’s a few screenies, in case anyone wanted to see em.

Marathon Event -When we had to run from Sanrio Harbour to Beijing. >_>

Marathon Winners. Including yours truly.

Feed a Cold Event for a pet in Open Beta.

My house & farm on the last day of Closed Beta.

Picture time during the last few minutes of Closed Beta…which was delayed.

So we tried to make HKO with the people we had…but we didn’t get far.

Well, that’s that. Hope to see everyone in Open Beta! And hopefully it’ll be around to stay this time.

So it just ended. And my head hurts. Why? Check out these screenies of the ending. It was chaotic. For this post, I decided I’d just put all the screenshots in links, since I have a ton and I don’t want to destroy anyone’s computer with them. :3

Running to Paris for the screenie…

At Paris.. WHOA PEOPLE.

I blended into the crowd. :3 Can you find yourself?

At 10 minutes left…

Can you see me and Caly? :3

At 4 minutes left… the chaos got worse! xD

And at 30 seconds, the GMs started giving hugs via intercom.

This was a rather interesting experience. Considering that prior to the ending, our fellow guild member, DeevFactor got married to Melody!  :)  Here are some screenies from the wedding, and our guild also took some guild screenies at this point:

I made it there!

After they were pronounced man and wife… we did guild screenies.

Then we all fell down! D:

And then here are some screenies from the event in general:

An abandoned Cur walked into my sitting with Cupid… Draco anyone?

My Farm! :3

And I just love the bunny on the side…

And now I’d like to close my post with Caly’s dead farm.

It was fun despite some drama that happened — so hope to see you all again soon!

Ripplecloud held a little screenie event for bloggers today from 9:30 PM EST…it went on for around 2.5 hours! We were totally slacking off. Here are some screenies from it… WARNING GRAPHIC HEAVY!

When we just got there:

Then we tried to form lines… didn’t go too well as you can see.

We finally managed to make em:

Then we decided Cupid seemed a bit lonely… so we proposed to make a heart around him but you know… we’re not very coordinated xD…

Heh. Still kinda lopsided but eh:

But we eventually got pretty close to it!:

Then there was some crazy chain reaction where we all fell down:

Then we decided to do an H for “Happy Hearts”…this was a lot easier:

And then we all moved to Madam Tuss’s place. But then I stopped paying attention and eventually we went our separate ways. D: It was fun though. :3

Now I’m back to collecting cotton… I swear these trees are haunted or something. Item is being used?!!

Well, that’s the end of my post. :3

 Really now?

For 1 t-shirt:

• 210 Silk [336 HQ Cotton + 840 Bad Wood]
• 210 Soft Cotton [840 Cotton]
• 210 Red Dye [630 Sorosis + 420 Spring Water + 420 Clay]
• 297 Thread
• 297 Straps
• 1 White T-shirt
• 1 Newbie Wand

For 1 bag:

• 75 Silk [120 HQ Cotton + 300 Bad Wood]
• 75 Red Dye [225 Sorosis + 150 Spring Water + 150 Clay]
• 75 Soft Cotton [300 Cotton]
• 297 Thread
• 150 Zippers [300 Slick stone (300 Gravel + 300 Spring Water) + 750 Fragments of stone mine + 150 Copper Rings (300 Copper + 300 Clay)]
• 1 White T-shirt
• 1 Newbie Wand

The numbers hurt. 

Yeah so I haven’t posted since the beginning of the Reunion. Not a big blogger as you can see but I decided to do a post for this event, to continue my tradition of posting an entry for each event. :3

So in this event, the quests were spread out over a few days and, personally, I thought the items required for each quest were more reasonable in number. Though poor Grandma was crowded…

Here’s a screenshot soon after the GMs announced that the quest was delayed for an hour (I think…?):

Here’s Cupid! Isn’t he a cutie? :3

And after finishing the last event quest… I took the screenie and sent it off asap. ;o

And I guess I’ll get a screenie of my new farm asap. :3 I got Rose of Versailles. Possibly planning on getting Sweet Childhood for the fun of it.

Now it is sleepy time for me. -yawn-

So I managed to sneak on earlier… because I just could not wait until my Winter Break started for seeing New York. XD

After a lot of running around… I FINALLY ARRIVED.

I promised I would get off after I got there, but the urge to explore was too great. So I did that. Then I fell asleep. Now I’m up and working on homework. xD

But what is homework without procrastination… Heh. Hence this post.

So. Yesterday was the official end of the Founders’ Beta. I must admit it was a rather fun experience despite the occasional drama here and there.

MOST of the community that I’ve come into contact with were rather nice individuals, which is a wonderful thing considering that many of the MMORPGs out there don’t have as many nice people, or as I’ve encountered anyways. :3

The Food Drive event was a wonderful idea, as although my guild did not win, the statistics showed we managed to raise almost $300 for the cause. However, the unsightly competition at times between guilds and sometimes even within guilds was rather disturbing. :/

All in all, I look forward to Open Beta. Here are some screenies from Founder’s Beta:
My Empire Key
Grand Central Ticket
Liberty Key
GM Pinata #1
GM Pinata #2
GM Pinata #3 - MOVED TO SANRIO HARBOUR ;o
GM Pinata #4 - Map 1
GM Pinata #5 - Map 2
End of GM Pinata
The last moments of Founders’ Beta

Fare-thee-well until Open Beta arriveth. :3
