                    [Summary] => It began humbly enough, with a sprite-happy online role-playing game based on a Korean comic book by Myung Jing Lee. Broadly influenced by Norse mythology, the game featured archetypal sword-and-sorcery characters such as the Wizard, Knight and Rogue. Its graphics resembled elaborate dioramas populated by gingerbread cutouts of anime-ish characters, down to their lily pool eyes and cotton candy cheeks. The game was called Ragnarok, a reference to the Norse term for The Apocalypse or End of Days, and it couldn’t have been more misleading.

That means you have to be connected to the Internet through which you will join a very special community that now boasts of over 50,000 members worldwide. Ragnarok is based on a Nordic tale about the eternal battle between good and evil. If evil wins the game,  it would mean the end of the world. So the players do battle with the bad guys.
