The Hello Kitty Online Founders' Beta officially ended at midnight and the HKO team has already taken the time to thank the players for their support.

They don't mention any sort of release date for the upcoming open beta in the post, but they do give us a surprise bit of information:

we will be having SOMETHING before Open Beta so it’d be awesome if you guys KEEP THE CLIENT !

Wow… it’s been an amazing month! People rushing to complete quests, the competitive relationships of the guilds, constant patching to improve the game, and the multiple events made for one heck of a month! But the best thing that this month brought us are the new friendships that we formed and priceless memories have been made from spending time with each other.

Founders’ Beta has been a real fun-filled experience for all of us and we’d like to thank all of the people who have participated in it and for the patience and dedicated support you have all given for the game. Without you, Founders’ Beta wouldn’t have been the success it has been.

Now, the wait begins for… Open Beta.

HOWEVER…

we will be having SOMETHING before Open Beta so it’d be awesome if you guys KEEP THE CLIENT !
