A press conference was held last 22 April 2009 in XXI Sarinah to officially launch Hello Kitty Online in Indonesia. GOGAME & Sanrio Digital signed a symbolic cooperative agreement and announced that their partnership is now official in developing Hello Kitty Online in Indonesia. The event was attended by partners and friends from the media.
The press conference marked GOGAME as the official publisher of Hello Kitty Online in Indonesia. As such, all relevant and important announcements about the game will be made by them. Some of the updates they made in the game include the Housing system, wherein players can build their own house that they can access through the Farm Manager in London; an advanced farming system that already has an irrigation feature so that players won’t have to worry about asking help from their friends to water the crops; and the consumable loyalty points that they can get via using the services of SanrioTown. These features were confirmed by Mr. Teguh Sanjaya, the Marketing Director of GOGAME. As such, these will make HKO more quest-oriented. Furthermore, he has stated that players should expect that in-game events would be focused on cooperating and working with other players, such as building houses together.
Patrick Setiawan, Chief Executive Officer of GOGAME, described HKO as "an online game product that is closely linked to a community portal, which also use a well known brand like Sanrio are the first of its kind in the world," stating that Indonesia is the first country in the world that was able to launch a publisher-operated version of HKO. 
During the event, friendly competitions were held for the members of the press, including a minigame battle between eight lucky press members who played "Sanrio Bubbles". Two lucky winners each received a prize.
The press conference ended with the announcement of Phase One blog winners and final matches between SanrioTown’s high scorers.
Congratulations to GOGAME for Hello Kitty Online! May Indonesia’s gaming industry develop further in the future.
