''Yogurting'' was notable for its extremely cute graphical style, costume designs and the ease of leveling (and, on a similar visual note, for its [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OABBH1Kc-Xo amazingly psychedelic, dance-heavy promotional trailers]]). However, there was one very big hurdle to playing: it was only ever in Korean, Japanese or Thai and there were very few English guides available. The typical English speaker had to stumble through a ''lot'' of dialogue choices and incomprehensible menu screens when they first started playing. The Japanese client, the most popular for English speakers of the three, also barred any non-Japanese [=IPs=] from playing the game, and ''registering'' for the game in the first place was a challenge in itself for foreigners.

''Yogurting'' is - or was - a Korean MassivelyMultiplayerOnlineRolePlayingGame released in 2005.

There are four types of weapons that you can use: Blades (swords), Gloves (fists), [[ImprobableWeaponUser Mura (headphones) and Spirit (backpacks).]] Though you can switch between them at will, you can only master two of them; mastering a weapon gives you access to that type's special attacks, skills and passive abilities. Blades and Gloves are best for melee characters, while Mura and Spirit characters focus more on magical attacks and support.

1UP.com awarded Yogurting second place in a "Worst Games, Best Names" article.

As one may note from the pronouns, it's also no longer a going concern - the game was sunsetted in Korea and Japan in 2010. The Thai-language company and community tried to hold on and even keep the game going, but they too eventually had to shut down in March of 2011, resulting in the game going dark permanently. The developer focuses, these days, on its military shooter titles, with no indication given that Yogurting will have a successor or revival.

The story wass as follows: you are an OrdinaryHighSchoolStudent attending either the modern Estiva Academy or the more traditional Yoitsuki Academy. One day, the student body wakes up to find that almost all the teachers are missing, there are strange penguin creatures everywhere, and monsters have infested both campuses. Worse still, every other school aside from Estiva and Yoitsuki has vanished. Even though no lessons are being taught, no-one can relax because of these events. This would come to be known as the Endless Vacation Phenomenon.

Because most of the adults have gone missing (and the rest are clueless), the AbsurdlyPowerfulStudentCouncil rises up to take charge and organize an investigation into the E.V.P.. Meanwhile, the {{World Tree}}s on both campuses have begun to resonate, opening up a portal to another dimension where a mysterious artifact known as "the antique" is said to reside.

Yogurting is notable for its extremely cute graphical style, costume designs and the ease of leveling. However, there is one very big hurdle to playing: it's all in Japanese, and there are very few English guides out there. Prepare to stumble through a ''lot'' of dialogue choices and incomprehensible menu screens when you first start playing. The game also bars any non-Japanese [=IPs=] from playing the game, and ''registering'' for the game in the first place is a challenge in itself.
