Our developers have been working hard on major improvements to the game based on the suggestions of Beta players. Here are some of the enhancements coming in the Open Beta.
Higher resolution & increased field of view
You can now play Hello Kitty Online in 1024×768 resolution! The old resolution of 800×600 will still be available should you prefer it, but choosing 1024×768 will give you a significantly larger field of view, allowing you to see more of your surroundings. You will also have a better chance to spot aggressive monsters before you run into them!

1024×768 |
The improved Hello Kitty Online will also allow you to see what’s going on in the virtual world while you’re viewing your character info or quest log. See the video provided further down.
Movable windows
Finally, you can reposition windows in Hello Kitty Online anywhere on the screen. This fixes the problem of overlapping windows, and allows you to move them anywhere you like! We’ve prepared a short video showcasing this improvement on the new 1024×768 resolution, check it out!
Keyword chat filters
Keyword filters for the in-game chat system are being implemented to help prevent unacceptable behavior in Hello Kitty Online. Based on a comprehensive and regularly updated list of keywords, the filter will instantly block offensive words from appearing in public and private chat.
We’ll keep you posted on other things that we’re feverishly working on as we move toward Open Beta and a greatly improved Hello Kitty Online. Stay tuned for more!

January 16th, 2009 at 2:19 am

January 16th, 2009 at 6:32 am
Lol, Yay! GM Calealen took my suggestion for the word filter! =)
January 16th, 2009 at 11:54 am
Sweet! Thanks for the post. Those new features look pretty cool.
Hope more enhancements will be announced soon.
Keep it up!
I kinda thought there would be a word filter too, considering some of us had a run in with a sicko.
January 16th, 2009 at 11:56 am
Sorry. I meant there was at least one person who kinda acted inappropriately in a few ways during the Founders’ Beta. Hopefully, the filters will prevent stuff like that from happening again.
January 16th, 2009 at 4:12 pm
Sweet! I love how we can rearrange windows now. That was bothering me so much back in Founders’ Beta since I’m the kind of person that has a gazillion windows open at once to check on different things.
January 17th, 2009 at 4:30 am
ah… i want it to come out soon, but yet i don’t. hahaha.
January 17th, 2009 at 2:17 pm

January 19th, 2009 at 5:52 am

January 20th, 2009 at 4:37 am
yay for movable screens! lol it’s also good to have some words blocked because so many children play this game.
January 20th, 2009 at 11:25 am
Adding the Chat Filters was a very smart idea. Oh, I want to play!! I miss my pet so much!!!!
January 20th, 2009 at 6:02 pm
Awesome improvements! Seems like you guys are really listening to the players’ wishes. Open Beta’s gonna rock!
January 21st, 2009 at 6:33 am

January 23rd, 2009 at 10:08 am
who is allowed to play this game right now ? Is it still closed beta or did that end also and only GM’s are playing? I wish the site would update more the FAQ still says the game will work the second half of 2008 and it now 2009, I dont understand why you still have no avaliable date …I would rather have like a premium edition that works that we pay for so you can get the money and the people needed to fnisih it then to play for free and wait another six months. Any updates would help. I know you are working hard, dont get me wrong. I just know there are tons of us who want to play.
January 25th, 2009 at 4:46 am
I would also like to know if anyone can play the beta game? Or is it closed to new beta testers? Any idea when the game will be released to the public? From the videos it looks like its going to be a really fun game!
January 26th, 2009 at 1:53 pm
Really hope OB comes soon im tired of waiting and i get my doubts we will ever see this game go live.
So meny MMO’s like this shut down for no reason hate to see this one fail
Please give us an ETA or something Keep it up and i really hope this will happen i need to play !
January 28th, 2009 at 4:11 am
Please realease january 2009 , because the game looks super cool
Better than anyother mmo
February 1st, 2009 at 2:27 pm
Very much looking forward to it! The enhancements look swell
February 3rd, 2009 at 4:10 pm
I am looking forward for this game, but come on - just the 1024×768? It’s year 2009, so what about the bigger LCDs? What about the laptop resolutions (like 1280×800)?
