... And gone, apparently! Ever since last year - after a dreadful period of 4 years being afraid of the end of the Mayan calendar -, I became a little skeptic when it comes to the subject of apocalyptic calendar ends. So you can guess how surprised I was when I read somewhere that Ragnarök was scheduled for today. * Now I get it, it was a sort of an April's Fool day joke, but whatever*
The sad truth is (because, let's face it, Ragnarök would be such a funnier and more exciting end than the one the Mayans predicted) that it was actually scheduled for February 22nd of this year, that is, more than a month ago! And how do I know this? Well, they even made a huge festival to celebrate it in York, England, called the Jorvik Viking Festival!
The only Ragnarök that is being launched today is the game, Ragnarök Odyssey Ace.
So much for my new hand made arrows and sharpened knives and swords. It's back to the drawing board, guys! And let's hope that next time someone warns us about a doomsday approaching, they'll be more clear about the precise date. You don't want to be caught with your armour down by a bunch of angry frost giants, do you?
