Hello Kitty Online: Stress Test
If you like all things cute, pink and Japanese, you might want to check out the upcoming stress test for Hello Kitty Online. The test will start on Valentines Day and run for four days, with Founder Members getting access from February 12th. Sanrio had the following to say about the "Happy Hearts" event, which will run for the duration of the test:
Things aren't all as they should be in Sanrio Land: Cupid has gone missing, and the romance of the season is also nowhere to be found. It's up to our Founders to find him, and more importantly, help bring back the love! We’ll also be giving away exclusive items to the first few to finish the quest chain, so stay tuned for details!
The full press release and details on how to sign up for the test follow after the jump.
Do you know someone who wants to try HKO? On February 14-17, 2009, everyone will be able to log in and enjoy the "Happy Hearts " HKO Valentine's Day event. To join the fun, you simply sign up at www.sanriotown.com (it’s free!) and download the HKO game client from www.hellokittyonline.com. We will be running a stress test during this event, just to make sure the HKO servers can handle high traffic and load.
HKO Founders can log in the game on February 12, 2009 at exactly 22:00 (10pm) EST. All Sanriotown members will be able to log in from February 14, 2009 at exactly 20:00 (8pm) Eastern Standard Time . Happy Hearts will end on February 17, 2009 at 23:59 EST after which Hello Kitty Online will be taken down for further work.
We are expecting high traffic during this event and will be using this opportunity to stress test the HKO hardware and software. Please be aware that you may experience crashes, bugs, and other problems during the Happy Hearts event. Should you encounter problems with the game, we would really appreciate it if you could send us an email at onlinegame@hellokitty.com with a description of what happened.
We are really grateful for your help as we work towards Open Beta for Hello Kitty Online, and look forward to seeing you in Sanrio Land!
