People say playing Massively Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Games (MMORPG) games is a form of escapism. Back in the day, I used to "escape" daily into the (virtual) form of a raging Orc (green, Incredible Hulk-like thing) in World of Warcraft that goes by the name of ThrokTok ("me SMASH!").
Now, though, people can choose the wonderful alternative of choosing to be a cat-with-no-mouth and prance around a cartoon world for escape in Hello Kitty Online. Yeap, NOW. It's open for beta just a couple of days ago, and lucky folks can sign up for a chance to be a cat by simply submitting their email here.
Once in the world, players (according to the site) can choose to roam the streets of "the Flower Kingdom", London, Tokyo, Moscow or Paris. You can not only build your own character, but build your "dream house", "cultivate your own farm" and create "guilds", according to the site.
So if you "escapist" dream has been to start your own megalomanical "flower-selling" empire, this is your chance! Be the first to get into the beta and start your very own flower-selling guild. :)
