Weird game Wednesday: Imagine photo

There is no shortage of bizarre and experimental online games in Korea, so the following photos of a rather unusual MMORPG called Lifestyles Imagine Online are but a mere reminder of how predictable Warcraft is by comparison. Typically, the game's characters look like plain-clothed students with assault weapons. In this special New Year's event, players purchased limited edition wooden pestles that turned friends or fellow demons into "HihoSantas," which in my estimation roughly translates to "giant vampire albino Pac-Man space suit." The moose antlers on the women are normal, though. Look at what we're missing in the screenshots below.

Koreans will play anything. Well, as long as it isn't on a console.

I would kill for Ragnarok on my DS, even if I had no idea what the hell was going on

Babelfish was pretty useless for digging up info about this game. If anyone has awesomely nerdy powers of anime or korean information please let me know.

MegatenOnline is probably a better translation, you're right

My hypothesis:

Koreans are so afraid to go out because of the inminent war they are upon so they try to stay in their house as long as possible. Tired of chatrooms and strippin on webcams they use MMORPGs to do something different and get the feeling of adventure and travel. Then they get to the chat ans strippin' again.

The number one game over there I think now its WOW but some time ago it was other... hmmm it was about some big breasted elfs...

Where does it say anything about this game being Korean? It says it's a photo from Famitsu right on the picture and the website is in Japanese... Also, Arroz, you should practice a bit more before actually posting comments.
