We have fashioned multi-function cafes around the country (manga kissa (manga-reading room/coffee houses), Internet cafes) into official GungHo shops through licensing agreements, conducting joint promotional campaigns with them. In addition to access to free promotional items offered at the official shops, customers can also participate in GungHo-sponsored events, as well as in sales campaign for items limited to the official shops.
Sales of the Ragnarok Online Cafe One-Day Ticket (\105, a one-day, two-night trial play ticket), an item sold exclusively at Ragnarok Online Official Shops, began in 2003. Since then, we have updated the design on a regular basis, and more than 10 million tickets have been sold.
　The designs are so varied that the product is even enjoyed as a collector’s item. The Emil Chronicle Official Online shop offers special net cafe benefits whereby users can play free of charge via an IP through system.

　GungHo has contracts with 1750 shops in Japan as of January 2007. In addition to the fact that the expansion strategy of the official shops is bringing in large numbers of new customers, the shops are also helpful in enabling users to create offline communities from online communities.
