Hello Kitty Online Joins The MMORPG World

If you play MMORPGs (massively multi-player online role-playing games), there’s a good chance that you’ve heard of World of Warcraft. What if I told you that there’s a Hello Kitty MMORPG coming online? It’s actually been in the news so you may already know about it. According to the official site, they’re still doing some beta testing. The last thing I heard was that there were over 30,000 beta testers! If you don’t know anything about the game, here’s the gist…

You’re basically entering Hello Kitty’s world and playing with other fans around the globe. From what I’ve seen, the game has some elements of MMORPGs. But, it goes further by allowing you to talk with other characters and players as the community and environment in the game constantly changes and grows.

Here’s the exciting thing: MMORPGs have been mostly for guys. Yes, girls play them, too. But, the few girls who do are the exceptions to the rule. Hello Kitty Online will probably radically change that dynamic. Girls now have a place in the online gaming world to call their own! 

Hello Kitty Online isn’t meant to compete with other MMORPGs. If you know anybody who plays other MMORPGs (like World of Warcraft), you already know that most of those players won’t want anything to do with Hello Kitty. That’s one of the reasons this new game is so highly-anticipated. It may change the entire online gaming landscape (or at least how people think about it).

As I’m writing this, the game isn’t available yet. But, stay tuned to this blog. When Hello Kitty Online launches, you’ll hear about it here.
