There are lots of MMOs in development for the younger generation of gamers.  Webkins, Teen Second Life, the upcoming Disney virtual world, and of course, Hello Kitty Online.  That’s right, everyone’s favorite mouthless kitten is getting her very own MMO, to the delight of sugar addicts everywhere.  But while achingly cute, don’t think Hello Kitty’s MMO is going to be kids stuff.

Oh no, this is going to be an actual MMO, albeit a free to play one that’s very colorful and shiny.  Check out the details provided by Destructoid:

This adorable MMO features characters from the Sanrio universe, including Badtz-Maru, My Melody, Keroppi, and many more, all running about a Sanrio fantasy world. Travel around Tokyo, Paris, Moscow, or even Flower Kingdom; build a house; and even craft tools and… weapons? Yes, Hello Kitty Online features MMO staples like monsters, combat, and experience points.

On top of that, there’s customizable avatars, guilds, skill systems, and even a player economy. When launched, HKO can be downloaded and played online for free.

I’m sure kids everywhere will be overjoyed at this news, but not as overjoyed as Hello Kitty lover and Love Shak Baby blogger Ivy!
