TalesRunner is a computer game created by the South Korean company Rhaon Entertainment and published by NOWCOM.[1] It is a racing game, but instead of using cars to race, players run. It is very popular in Korea, and it is winning support in other countries such as Taiwan, Hong Kong, Thailand and Mainland China. Each country has its own server, and users logging in to foreign servers are redirected to their local server. TalesRunner uses fairy tales as the story background. The Korean name for TalesRunner is "테일즈런너" (Teiljeu Reonneo, a transliteration of "TalesRunner"). In Hong Kong, it is known as "跑Online" (lit. Run Online), in Taiwan, "翻滾小子" (lit. Rolling Child), and in Mainland China, "超级跑跑" (lit. Super Run).
