Pink Gamer

Recently I’ve begun playing a new fantastic free MMO called Hello Kitty Online. It’s an adorable little game where you complete quests and farm and build a house and stuff for inside your house. I’m not very good at the game yet, though I wouldn’t say that anyone has any more skill than another at a game where literally all you do is click to move and click to execute commands. I suppose I should say I’m not as knowledgeable about it. The thing that really kind of makes me troubled, though it’s the only problem I’ve had, is that in order to upgrade your farm, you either need to have 3000 loyalty points, which aren’t that easy to come by, you get them from logging in and playing minigames and such, or you need to PM one of the GMs. For me, having to ask a GM to have something in-game is kind of eh. I’ve gathered that a lot of the GMs are really nice and all, but it still kind of makes me go, eh but why? It is to my understanding that you used to be able to get bigger farms in the farm market, but they took it away for some reason or another that I never caught on to.
Anyway, this game is absolutely adorable. You go out and you have to complete quests which usually have to do with forging, tailoring, cooking, or carpentry (the four production crafts in the game), though I don’t have any recipes in the carpentry section. You can level all of these up and you level up your chopping, gathering, mining, and planting passive skills as well. All of these go towards upping your total overall level. You don’t gain any experience from fighting things, which is to be expected from a Sanrio game.
I love this game. It’s kind of hard to really get into at first and I just liked it from an aesthetic point, but my favorite part about MMOs was the crafting, which was why FFXI was so heartbreaking for me (you needed ungodly amounts of money to be able to craft), and so an MMO where all you do is craft adorable hats and such and talk to other players is kind of a dream come true for me. Lawl. You also can get monster cards to drop from the critters and you can have your own pet to follow you around. They leave if you’re not petting them and feeding them a lot, though. I’m currently in the process of trying to get an adorable pink mouse pet. The mouse critter is usually grey, but the leader “Squeet” is pink, and the leader cards usually take a long time to get them to drop. I’ll have to camp him if I really want it.
Speaking of, this is my other problem with the game. When you defeat a critter, they just fall asleep in the spot you defeated them and then eventually wake up in the same spot you downed them. It makes fair camping completely non-existent as one person stands on top of the critter and just waits for him to get up. I would propose that for these leader types, they disappear and reappear in a random spot near where they usually walk around. I just think standing on top of something waiting for it to wake up so that no one else can get it is kind of cheap.
And that’s my HKO intro. I encourage everyone who likes cute to play.
