Ten Ton Hammer - Taking MMO Gamers to the Next Level!

Although "cute" will be commonplace in MMOs this Valentine's Day, but no game does pink and fluffy quite as well as Hello Kitty Online. One look at their screenshots and you'll be looking for the nearest stuffed animal to cuddle. As we first announced in a recently published news story, HKO is celebrating Valentine's Day in a big way, even before the game is released. To find out more about the game and the upcoming event, Ten Ton Hammer caught up with Andy Chiu and Abigail Reyes, the creative director and community manager for Sanrio Digital and Hello Kitty Online.

Ten Ton Hammer: What would you tell an adult MMO player if they asked what was the best part of Hello Kitty Online? Why would an adult player even try out a game like HKO?

Abigail Reyes: So far in the beta events, adults have responded to this game just as positively as younger players. Look around the popular media and you’ll see Hello Kitty being sported by women of all ages, from office women to famous pop stars like Mariah Carey to socialites like Paris Hilton. Adults who love Hello Kitty will try this game, along with adults who enjoy MMORPGs, and people who are looking for something a little different.
