This is the first time I heard about this, but there is actually a Hello Kitty MMORPG that is in production by Sanrio.

Now Sanrio is actually accepting players to sign up for their closed beta test on the game’s website. Players can get to explore Flower Kingdom, Tokyo, Paris, Moscow, and other locations. Theses places will be populated by NPCs such as Hello Kitty herself, Badtz-Maru, My Melody, Kerropi, Pochacco, Purin, Muffin, and Scone.

This is a free MMORPG and its scheduled to be released in the second half of 2008. The game emphasizes an “engaging social aspect centered on the magical and cute online world of Hello Kitty,” offering guilds, skills systems and even a “sophisticated combat system”.

So anyone can’t wait to start playing Hello Kitty Online? I think I’d just rather play wow instead.
