After temporarily shutting down it’s oprations last July, Hello Kitty Online is back with Level Up! at it’s reins. However the opening of the new server also means that players would need to create a new account since the game is now played on the HKO international server.
Here’s the official statement from Level Up! Games:
Great news for our Filipino friends!  Sanrio Digital and Level Up! Inc. are pleased to announce that Hello Kitty Online is opening its doors to players from the Philippines starting today, December 8, 2010!
Unfortunately, characters from the Philippines could not be transferred to the international servers, which mean you will have to create and level a new character. To compensate for this inconvenience, existing players from the Philippines server will receive a refund of all their Sanrio Cash Points (including points already spent) plus40,000 Sanrio Loyalty Points.
Simply download and install the new HKO game client from this link and enter the game using your usual SanrioTown account details, then join the International Server. Your cash and loyalty points will be automatically loaded into your account. Then create your character and spend your points!
If you have any concerns, please email us at he**@he**************.com or contact one of our Game Masters (GMs) inside the game.
We’d like to welcome all Filipino players to the International Server! We look forward to seeing you back in the game!
The Hello Kitty Online Team
