Ragnarok: Laid Off? Take Three on Us


In this troubled economy, we’ve all been facing some hard times. With unemployment in the United States over 10%, it is likely one in ten people coming to MMO Fallout have been laid off, or will be laid off. With the bills piling up and the income dropping to nothing, monthly video game subscriptions are likely to be the first things to fall.

Ragnarok Online recently launched Gravity Cares, that gives aid to those who have been recently unemployed. If you were a subscriber as of June 1st, and you were recently laid off after June 1st, you can submit a form to get three free months of membership to Ragnarok. You’ll have to send the form by snail mail, but the whole process shouldn’t take more than a couple weeks.

It’s not often a company comes along and does something generous like this. We’ve seen a few MMOs give discounts to military members, but this is the first jobless aid I’ve seen to date.
