Aside from the Sanrio Characters and technical aspects of the game, there is one concept that we have been promoting as one of the game’s strongest points — the community aspect. Although we’ve seen a lot of it here and there in the game, during the latter part of the Closed Beta, something great happened in Hello Kitty Online.

The Sailor Scouts Guild had been up for a while in Closed Beta, but during those last parts, this guild showed us exactly the kind of community that we were going for in the game. The guild of 12 rose to a mighty 40 in a day. But it wasn’t for fame or popularity, it was for the sake of helping others.

You can read the story of how they got so big, and why that event was so great, by visiting the guild blog maintained by sailoriastar. Don’t forget to drop them a note!

Three cheers for the Sailor Scouts Guild, and we look forward to seeing you all in Open Beta!
