A game for adults. I'm so sick of 12 year olds on WoW!!!! There aren't going to be any on this game! No sir! Just pure adult fun. It's about time.
^Joke.
Actual topic------> Will there be 18+ mature adult guilds in Hello Kitty? (ofcourse there will be.) Ofcourse, can you actually call them "mature" guilds?
It seems to me it would be a little immature to create an adult guild in Hello Kitty.
Argh
Comments
there were plenty of 20+ and over during the close-beta. i'd expect there will be a substantial amount of the above mentioned age group playing HKO once the game is up and running.
I really dont think kids will play this game. I will be adults pretending to be kids or adults pretending to be kids pretending to be adults. And people who stoped playing AOC and need a more mature game.
Hello Kitty is definitely for adult girls, sure young girls like it too, but the brand is going for a much older audience, like the below!
Looks like it's time for me to reach out and play something new, HELLO KITTY. Butters told me to play it. I might try it.
It's finally out, the beta!
Yay!
"You should receive an

Followed you instructions, but i have to wait.
amidoinitrite
Well if it makes you feel any better, I got the exact same message, we're all in "wait and hold mode"
You people are joking right? i don't see the humour in the joke but whatever.This game is made for 12 year olds MAX,it's like playing house or with little dolls lol.No guy in his right mind would play this game.It's like little cartoon dolls running around cartoon playhouse lmao.I'm not even sure 12 years old isn't too old to be playing this,suited much better for some parents to watch there little 6/7 year old have fun,that's about it.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.
Well, That's Just Like... Your Opinion, Man
While everyone is entitled to their own opinion, one should bear in mind that just because its pink and cute does not mean it is a kids product.
Infact, what was the surprise audience in Toontown? Adults, even more interestingly people used to say bubble pop and other casual games on real arcade where for little kids too, and who played those? Adult women!
Hmmm I was one of the mmorpg.com contest winners for a closed beta slot in Stargate Worlds too. Woohoo! I'll be keeping busy!
Speaking of "available"

You have a poor grasp of culture and cultural differences dear. The game was made actually for middle aged office working professional women in Japan. It is very popular style of MMO among adult women in Asia. Definitely NOT designed for kids originally.
Sadly in the US and Europe, people have been sold a lie that animation, cute art styles and anime is for kids only. In Asia where it all started anime and this sort of game are for everyone...more often for adults than kids actually.
I totally agree with you, HKO and that style of anime (cute) is not for kids, it's for adults, not just in japan but for all of asia, and increasingly more so in us too.
Yeah I'm going to give beta a try. I actually think the playerbase may be more "mature" because the people playing likely won't be as obsessed with phat lewts and being l33t. I'm hoping for a more social, laid back playerbase, something it seems we lost around the time WoW came out.
well, looks like amongst Xfire users the game is played 2,753 minutes per day!
I got to say one thing, some of the players on HKO are surprisingly hardcore, I've been playing a bit and it's really nice and fun but some of these guys are like super-players.
The nice thing is that even though you're hardcore, the competitive element is nothing like in other mmo's, I like that.
Worse game ever. Seriously. I played all through Founders Beta. Definatly has alot of appeal.
The major Flaws? The GM's. They are so easy to manipulate and I saw Guilds with GM's in the guild. Players getting advanced warnings about Events so they could prepare and "Special" treatment all around. I'm unsure if this will carry on into the actual game, or into Open Beta. But it sure seemed very unprofessional of me.
Plus add to that the hordes of 10-17 year olds crying, whinning and complaining about everything then asking the same question 100+ times.
A game can have a great feel to it, as far as gameplay and graphics, but when GM's go out of their way to appease other players because they are from another country and want the USA players to like them, is when it becomes a problem.
This game was supposed to be marketed towards Western Culture, yet all the events and special games happened between 2am-5am on Sundays and weekdays. That was horrid.
Most of the good looking clothing consisted of lower level items. Alot of the higher level items 30+ looked like 1970's Business leasure suits. Horrible design for a game that is supposed to be cute and appealing.
The travel system was horrible. You had to walk 15 minutes from one town to another for a quest. There was no teleporting, traveling or faster way. And when alot of people were online, it made the portals impossible to get through.
The farm system was expensive and annoying. The amount of times you had to "Fertilize" something was ungodly to much. The fact that plants grew so erratically made it difficult to harvest as well.
When building finally did come out, it took 5 people 3 hours to build 1 house. And tons of energy = tons of food consumption which = tons of money spent and tons of time cooking.
The company and GM's poorly handled all events and player issues. There wasn't a set TOS that GM's followed and even fairness seemed to fly out the window if the GM's liked the player in question or were "buddy buddy" with them.
If I had to rate this game from 1-10 I'd probably give it a 2. Just because it's all cute and sparkly. But other then that, worst game ever.
Don't waste your time on this one. Just because it's the famous "Hello Kitty" icon, dosn't mean it's a good game, and in this case, it's a nightmare.
The founders beta just ended, I'm not sure what you mean by "Western" but in any event I thought it was really well handled, over 12000 USD raised for charity in that event and one of the best communities ever. To be clear, this wasn't even an Open Beta.
Remember girls (and guys), it's a beta, not even AoC was functioning properly when it went LIVE.
When Open Beta starts I'll be sure to be there!
Well, I have nothing against Hello Kitty. However, I can't see myself playing it.
Diversity is the spice of life though. As long as someone enjoy playing it.
P.S. I have a fear of Hello Kitty. On my fear list it is between Snakes and Fire Breathing Dragons.
I have to agree with Satrycon, the Hello Kitty Online Founders Beta was terrible. Unprofessional is about the kindest thing you can say about the GM's of the game. That one joined a guild boggles the mind. There would be events posted on the main site's blog, but rarely were the start times adhered to. One would show up for these events, participate, only to find the rules suddenly change at the end of the game, cheating lots of people out of rewards. People caught blatantly trying to cheat or stealing from other characters were not dealt with. They all were kept until the end of the beta. If too many people were logged in, the portals which were the only means to travel around the map would shut down leaving players to click and move like morons for 15min to try to get through. This is on top of the 10 maps you have to walk through to get to an item that you have to return 10 maps with. So far the only way you can walk is with the click of the mouse. So you are left clicking and clicking and clicking to get across the map.
I love cute, pink, sparkly, squishy traits, and I was really looking forward to this game. However, it was a terrible experience and I don't plan on playing it ever again.
Hmm...
I don't agree at all, it's a beta, things fall over every once in a while and the one thing I will completely disagree on is the GM's who are a fary cry from any of the other GM's (who you don't see at all), the GM's in this game actually interact and involve you.
Must be talking about a different game
the only thing i hate about hello kitty online is a sore loser, cry baby player who's name is "Magnificent" but without him, HKO is a perfect game.
I remember when this sort of thing happened on this site with another game, Called The Sims Online. Everybody argued how great it was and everybody argued how much it sucked.
It was like an epic argument until that one day, Fate reared it's ugly head and they shut the whole game down and ended it. It's funny that I can still find it on the lists.
I personally thing the GM's interaction with players was a fantastic thing, but the fact that they did so based on favoritism is what I didn't agree with.
Satrycon, don't be so bitter...4th place is still good
Just because you thought it was only based on the total amount and you had your own spreadsheets doesn't mean that it was right.
The ultimate intent was the donation to Unicef and AYO - guess you lost sight of that...
