Like the other ten million people out there, I play World of Warcraft. It’s a massively multiplayer online role-playing game, or MMORPG for short; I go online and I can fight monsters or other players from around the world. But today, a new MMORPG has entered a private invitation-only phase that could possibly bring Blizzard to it’s murloc-killing, PVP-flagged, epic-wearing knees:
Why yes, the makers of Hello Kitty is entering the MMORPG realm, specifically “Targeting female players from their pre-teens to twenties.” AND ME.
Efren: but what the hell would hello kitty fight? bad badtz maru gone awry?
Ernie: hahahaha… bad bad bad badzmaru
Ernie: or maybe hello kitties evil twin sister, born on the ninth plane of hell
Efren: oh god…like those bad hello kitties you see now with the skulls and stuff?
Ernie: Exactly.
The thought of using two flaming swords to topple a 100-foot demon Pochacco and three Kero kero keroppi spawns somehow fills me with glee. Okay, it probably won’t be that as much as it will be a way to customize the fabulous outfit that you’re wearing, but a boy can dream.

In the grim future of Hello Kitty, there is only war.

Both me AND my hubby are also very excited about this. We already play WoW, Eve Online, Guild Wars, and Lord of the Rigns Online, but we’re absolutely DYING to get into that private beta. ^_^

I’m so down with this I’m willing to actually play a MMORPG (which I have been resisting for years). Maybe one day we can play together and try to kill each other!

Yes! I have made it in to an LYD post! I have reached the 10th stage of Nirvana!
I can die happy now.

This is so totally AWESOME! Of course, I’m imagining a cross between Hello Kitty and Animal Crossing, so there is no war and even the grumpy people like Badzmaru are eventually won over by my happy smile!
I signed up for the Beta. Please, please, please let them pick me!

I’m guessing all dialogue between players will have to be typed.
Or they will give Ms. Kitty a mouth.

OMG. And Penny is 100% right. Talk about passing up built-in marketing. Oh well. Maybe they’ll use “Island Adventure” for the expansion pack.
