2 weeks ago I tried playing LevelUP Game’s newest MMORPG Hello Kitty Online. This is another project that aims to promote casual gaming through social media interaction. Now that I reached Level 15, I still can’t get enough of Hello Kitty. Normally an Online game’s life span to me is just a week but it seems HKO PH is already becoming a habit to me.

I enjoy the quests specially if it requires me to pound monsters but I just found out that pounding monsters doesn’t give me EXP so most of the time I spend my times harvesting for minerals even without quests. Farming and Tailoring is the most difficult tasks for me since level 1. There is a quest on tailoring that requires me to forge materials 3 times. And mind you, you really need some math skills on counting materials so that you don’t need to waste time travelling back and forth areas to harvest for more and go back again in the town to give the items to the quest giver.

Farming could be fun but it is really very frustrating how the time format in farming is so fast. A day in farming is just a couple of minutes. And it still runs when you go out of the farm. So to prevent my farm from dying, i must visit them regularly and water them. And take note, water is very costly.

So far I’m still hooked up with HKO and and I enjoy traveling and discovering new areas where I’m amazed of the creativity of Design that blends to every Sanrio character.

To those who wants to try the game, here are some helpful tips that will surely give you edge on the world of Hello Kitty Online.

1. Play the flash tutorial. before you install the game on your PC, there is a flash format version of the HKO game but this game is created for basic training. Here you will learn most of the basic aspects of the game including harvesting, mining, farming etc. Many HKO newbies skip this that is why they end up asking other users how to do this and where to get that. So play the basic training/tutorial to learn things you don’t need to ask.
2. Read Quest Instructions carefully. When you accept Quests from NPCs (Non-Playable Characters), they will give instructions to what items or tasks they need and where exactly is the area where you can find them. To review the instructions you can access the Quest Log on your sidebar panel or by pressing “Q”.
3. Save Money. Don’t be a compulsive buyer. Some items are available on merchants but they do really cost a lot so to save. Don’t buy because you will eventually get items and equipments through quests.
4. Refrain from doing shortcuts. Specially on skill based quests. Some quest items are available on merchants but its better to do the quests according to the instructions because you will loose the chance to level up your skills.
5. Don’t throw loots. When you harvest or gather materials, you will eventually get some loot items that you don’t need. It piles up on your limited inventory and there is a point that you really need to free spaces. Instead of throwing away loots, sell them to the merchants for some extra kitty Dollars.
6. And lastly play Nice. Be friendly, we know that Hello Kitty’s brand promotes friendship to everyone. So don’t be harsh to anyone.

Merry Christmas to you all as well!

One of the few games it would seem that takes animal safety seriously is Hello Kitty Online! All of us who love furries and animals and non-violence will find their place in the cutest online game of all time, Hello Kitty MMORPG, the Online home of Hello Kitty.

So I applied to be part of the HKO founders beta of course, but took my sweet time, in part because I was so busy, I mean the graphic below tells you to sign up now doesn’t it?

I did not get my acceptance e-mail like many other blog posts I’ve seen, I guess that means I didn’t get in but I won’t despair! There’s a room for us animal lovers in the future after beta! Someone start an animal lovers guild!

This is a request we at the SPCGA have, which video game animals do you think we need to be saving first and campaigning for? Please post your suggestions here, I’ll be waiting a little while to see how many responses we will be getting, just comment on my blog or send us an e-mail at spcga@hellokitty.com

A special message from Mr. Paracelsuc Floodus, Chieftain of the Covenant Flood:

We’re known as the Flood but we lose a lot of blood, because the evil Master Chief shoots us like we were thieves.

We’re the really good guys, but since we constantly lose out, history has been rewritten to suit the needs of those UNSC Marines and their evil Master Chief. Dr. Mengele has seen nothing yet with the brutality that the Master Chief sets out to destroy us (as well as those other lesser alien life forms)

Above: Image of the Master Chief shooting at us, we of course need to attack in self defense… 

Infact, Captain Keyes wanted to become one of us…see below…looking mighty fine if I may say so (erhm)….

But noooo, he couldn’t be one of us in peace, who comes along and off’s him? The Evil Master Chief.

And the above are our little children, who are being relentlessly shot….you get the picture. Let the world know that we, the flood need not be shot to ridiculous little pieces 10 million times a day! We have feelings too you know!

—- message over and out —-

Editors Note: I usually would focus on the fate of those cute and cuddly creatures, the flood is not your typical cute and cuddly creature but we didn’t want to seem discriminatory, afterall we did say all creatures.

This blog is the new official home of the SPCGA, also known as the Society for Preventation against Cruelty for Game Animals (specifically Video Game animals), afterall….there is an SPCA but what about all those fuzzy virtual creatures out there who are being shot, muzzled, undressed, stuck in dishwashers and hanged out to dry?

This blog will be more concerned about the state of mind of the countless creatures as supposed to the even more disturbing trends of pay per hunting (virtual play but with real life results).
