Yogurting (Korean:요구르팅,Japanese:ヨーグルティング) is an MMORPG (Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game) developed by NTIX Soft in South Korea and released as open-beta on 2005-05-10, and was also released in Japan on 2005-11-24.

A promotional video released in June of 2005 entitled "Always", featuring Koyote member Shin Ji, has given the game popularity among anime fans in the United States and around the world. The game has nothing to do with yogurt, but has an anime school theme.

Yogurting is an online RPG of today’s school life. It takes place in “Estiva Academy" (Korean: 에스티바 학원(에스티바學園), Japanese: 公立エスティバー学園 "Kōritsu Esutibā Gakuen") and “So-weol Academy" (Korean: 소월 학원(宵月學院), Japanese: 私立宵月学院 "Shiritsu Yoitsuki Gakuin") and solves the mystery of EVP (Endless Vacation Phenomenon, in Korean, "무한방학현상(無限放學現像)" in Japanese, "無限放学現象(むげんほうがくげんしょう).").

The Korean and Thailand versions of the game have recently closed down their service, however the Japanese servers still remain in service.

[edit] Trivia

The word "yogurting" signifies, among other things, the act of singing a song in a language which the singer does not speak. It results in often hilarious word constructions based on 100% hearing (cf. kikitori) and 0% comprehension.^{[citation needed]}
