K, I have checked out the now open, Zoovolution. It is in beta and is free to register right now. Great graphics, somewhat reminiscent of VMK. Still a bit small, with a limited amount of places to visit. Quite a few games. Great source of animal information – endangered species. Not heavily populated at all so far. I met one other person on a Tuesday night around 9 pm. The other member tells me that more people show up on Saturdays and for the celebrity appearances! How cool is that? Guess I’ll have to check it out this Saturday. Overall, it has some real potential. I look forward to the coming summer months when it might just perk up a bit more. Good Luck, Zoovolution!

After test driving this mmo, I can say that it appears to be perfect, in terms of visuals, for the younger crowd.  It does, however, lack content.  I liken it to an anorexic Club Penguin.  Graphics, environments, & charcters are bright and colorful.  There are flash games to play, some educational and some just for fun.  All in all, though it was all very minimal.  I can’t imagine it holding anyone’s attention for very long, though it appears to have great intentions.

K.  I got my cruise ticket to Elf Island yesterday!  Woohoo!  I can’t say much about it, since it is in beta (and I agreed not too – lol).  I recommend that you sign up for a test drive, though, as this little mmo looks like it’s on the right track. 

Bleh, missed the Elf Island boat (#8) again.    Ah well, while waiting for my boarding pass, I did some MORE researching….  lol  I’m now checking out this chat site, Chamber of Chat, that is a Harry Potter based theme. 

From there, I’ve also discovered a new BETA world.  Can I find them or what?  giggle.  It’s called Zoovolution. 

Geez!  After reviewing the company that produces Zoovolution, I’ve found yet another virtual chat world….  All Star Buddies. 

Hmmm, 3 new sites to keep me busy for at least a little while. 

FYI – I highly recommend you sign up NOW for Cartoon Network’s Fusion Fall!  It is in closed beta, but accepting new members.

Ah, so checking up on Elf Island (view trailer here), I see that there are “boats” of pre-registered users with a list of names on each boat – to date, 7 boats. I am, sadly, not on any one of them – yet. Their blog reports that they will launch new boats for the next 2 weeks. *Fingers crossed for next boat, #8* Now that HKO is in limbo again, I hope to join a new MMO to pass the time.

Well, Hello Kitty Online Founder’s Beta ended Saturday night (I wasn’t able to finish the quests, unfortunately). Next should be Open Beta wth a rumored date of early December. Supposedly there is a special surprise in the near future! In game GM’s and the official website posted not to delete the client as something was going to happen! Hmmm, I wonder….

In case you hadn’t heard, Hello Kitty Online Founders Beta is up and running. Not sure if you can still sign up for a founders account or not, but it’s worth a shot. Very nice MMO if you aren’t into violence, and really like questing and cute characters.

Also, and update on Dizzywood is that they are in full blown Halloween mode that started this past weekend. It lasts until Nov 2, I think. Check it out!

My beloved Wizard101 is also ready for Halloween with some new Halloween quests, Halloween gear, and black cat and a lollipop wand. Man, I love this game!

Poptropica had Halloween costumes you could wear, now you might still be able to using another member and the costumizer feature. They have a new Cinnamon Toast Crunch game and adventure gear to win.

Virtual Family Kingdom (VFK) is also ready for Halloween with some new quests and spooky gear. They even have a haunted forest you can buy!

Lastly, I’ve stumbled across a new game that appears to be almost ready to launch beta. It’s called Elf Island. Looks like it has great potential. They’ve posted a Halloween game and you can view the trailer here!

I’m so excited about my dragons, that I search for more adoptable critters. I found a really great site if you like cuteness and puzzles! It’s called Moshi Monsters. Check it out.

Look at my adult dragons!!!!

My scroll is here: Please click on it too to keep my eggies and hatchlings healthy!

I love this adventure MMO! Every weekend there are new quests. And they are continuously changing and updating the game and website. It is intended for the 8-14 or so crowd, but I still enjoy my daily 15-20 minute play. If you want to check it out, just sign up at http://www.dizzywood.com. If you want to use a reference, type Fish885 as the reference code. I’m usually on in the mornings, as it is the least crowded then. Just look around for a snowwoman on a “non-busy” server. I’ll probably be running through the areas, busy with my quests! Hope to see you there!
