We’re counting down Massively OP’s weirdest MMORPG stories of 2016!
Coming in at #4 on our list is TERA’s Hello Kitty promotion, as chronicled in my own piece TERA and Hello Kitty make a purrrfect couple, though the title is entirely Justin’s wonderbad brainchild.
Yes, this year En Masse partnered with Sanrio to add Hello Kitty lootboxes to the action-combat fantasy MMORPG, complete with Hello Kitty outfits, accessories, uniforms, and consumables. (Admittedly, the backpacks and pig-wearing-a-cat-suit were inexplicably cute.) “If you had any immersions left in your MMORPGs,” we wrote, “consider them well and truly broken now.”
Stay tuned tomorrow for another entry in the countdown, and don’t forget to check out our annual MMORPG awards and our blooper awards while you’re at it!
