Gravity, the developers and Distributors of Ragnarok Onlie, have formed a partnership with CJ Internet Corporation:

Gravity Forms Strategic Alliance with CJ Internet Corp.

SEOUL, South Korea- October 27, 2005- Gravity has entered into a strategic alliance with CJ Internet Corporation to co-market and co-publish online games in Korea. Gravity will utilize CJ Internet's www.netmarble.net, a leading online destination, to increase the distribution and marketing of its games. CJ will be able to provide Gravity's lineup of popular games as an additional service to its internet customers.

This agreement further solidifies CJ Internet's position as a premier online distributor of games. The ability to reach a larger audience of internet gamers signifies a potential boon for Gravity to add to its existing base of subscribers worldwide.

Damn I was about to make this topic in the Ragnarok Online forums.

Anyways this should be pretty good for everyone.  With a Korean Distributer/co-publisher, Gravity should be able to repair its dwindling Korean customers after they were bought out by thier Japanese distributer.  Also it should mean that greater focus will be given to international servers, maybe even a sooner closed beta for Ragnarok Online 2 then previously speculated.  Maybe even as soon as January 2006.
