Japan-themed Ragnarok world released

Gravity Interactive today announced the release of the Amatsu expansion to its massively multiplayer RPG Ragnarok Online. The expansion pack, which is available free of charge to Ragnarok players, is based on ancient Japan, mirroring actual locales and featuring monsters derived from Japanese folklore. Other such "culturally themed" expansion worlds are in development. Those who are interested can find the expansion pack, as well as a 15-day free trial of Ragnarok Online, at the game's official Web site.
