World of Warcraft Loves Koreans [Korea, My Life, Games] — Wyatt @ 16:55 pm

So it should come as no surprise that game companies include things in their games that will appeal to Korean players.

I currently play World of Warcraft, mainly because my brother and sister also play. Anyhow we recently started a guild and as a guild we were able to design a tabbard. While looking through different designs, I came across this one…

For those of you not in the know, that demonic face is a 도깨비 (tokaebi) which is a Korean goblin of sorts. “But Wyatt that could be any old goblin!” I’m afraid not, the face they selected is one of the most famous depictions of 도깨비 in existance. See, it’s even on Naver!
