“Hello Kitty Chooses Ornaments” , by pink-n-blue-gems, is an adorable video that features two of the most fun things in life: Hello Kitty and Christmas! Cute Christmas trees and ornaments can be seen in this video, as a funky version of a well-loved Christmas song plays in the background.

Yep, Christmas is definitely in the air in SanrioTown! If last week’s starring video wasn’t enough, this week’s Dream Studio creation we’re featuring is also holiday-related, and this time, the spotlight is on Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer!
“Rudolph Once Again“, by foxfyre1, is a really cute video featuring the red-nosed reindeer in some of his incarnations. Some well-known Christmas characters also make appearances there, so be sure to keep an eye out for them. A Jolly Christmas song plays in the background to heighten the holiday vibe of the video.

Hi everyone, it’s me again, Abby, writing on behalf of the Hello Kitty Online development team for our Developer Diary. I have a few updates and news to share with you.
Monster Stats/Difficulty
We’re working carefully on adjusting game difficulty in Hello Kitty Online, and I’d like to explain some changes we have already made to balance monster difficulty and rewards. First, we have improved the stat bonuses on quest reward items in Sanrio Harbour. Secondly, merchant NPCs in all major cities except Sanrio Harbour now offer more powerful items for sale. These improved quest rewards and merchant items should make it easier to face monsters in the wilderness of Sanrio Land.
Also, we’ve started working on some substantial adjustments to the stats themselves that will make things easier for everyone. It’ll take some time, but we’ll keep you updated on our progress!
Hello Kitty’s 35th Birthday
We’d also like to take this time to thank you all for celebrating Hello Kitty’s 35th Birthday with us. We were thrilled to receive your feedback, and we’re glad that you all enjoyed the event! We can’t wait to see you in our next celebration, which is…
The HKO In-game Christmas Event
You can feel it in the air — the holidays are just around the corner! We’re working on another special event for our players across all regions. We know you’re expecting it, and we don’t intend to let you down! Get your holiday spirit ready for:
That’s all for this update, tune in next time! If you like receiving updates via RSS feed readers, you can click here to subscribe to the HKO Developer Diary through Feedburner. I’ll be back soon with more Hello Kitty Online development news, so do check back often!
Just because portable USB drives are practically a necessity these days doesn’t mean that they have to be completely utilitarian and not cute! The Hello Kitty USB drive has a 1 GB capacity, and it is 5.4 x 3 x 2.3 cms.
Last Wednesday, November 4, 2009, all of the new players of Hello Kitty Online were invited to join the Tour Bus Guild for an exclusive tour of Sanrio Harbour and Florapolis.
Once everyone was inside the guild, GM-Azrael broke the news that his friend GM-Galatea has gone missing. He implored for their help to track her down. As soon as he yelled the name of the last player she was seen with, the hunt for the missing GM was on!
 |
Players rushed to the General Goods Merchant where the first out of six witnesses of the lost GM stood. They were asked to read and solve the clues, posted in the in-game blog feature, which will point to the location of the next witness.
 |
The journey from one place to the other was the highlight of the event. Not only were players toured around the game but they also learned a lot of in-game features that only Hello Kitty Online offers.
 |
Everyone was successful in finding GM-Galatea! They were all rewarded with full set of equipment as a token of GM-Azrael’s gratitude for finding his missing friend.
 |
Congratulations to all participants and we hope you enjoyed your trip with the Tour Bus Guide!
