Ragnarok signs are the best ever!

17.04.2010 by Patrick W. Galbraith


Though I love RPGs, I am not a really big online gamer. Still, these new adverts for Ragnarok are just awesome enough to make me want to give it a try. The first one with the salaryman reads:

"Whatever I do is wrong. On Ragnarok Online, I can instantly clear any task!"

Then in smaller letters:

"I want to show my seniors at the office this bravery."

The second one with the old man reads:







"This stubborn old me is popular with the gals on Ragnarok Online."

Then in smaller letters:

"My bad, old lady!"

These signs are there in the Tokyo subway, big as you please. I can't believe they are so bold in implicating everyone in this online gaming culture! Salarymen and old men in traditional dress are usually considered outside the stereotype of gamers.

ちょっと、営業マンと頑固オヤジもオンラインゲームやっているよ!なんか、嬉しいなあ。
