If you ever wanted to game with "Precious Moments" figurines...
Ragnarok Online is for you. This dev journal focuses on the frustrations involved with trying to localize a game for audiences around the world. Here's the most ridiculous quote I could find, and yes I think they're serious!

" In Juno, the capital city of Schwaltzwald Republic, there is an NPC named “Le Morpheus”.The name was made after Morpheus, a character from the movie “The Matrix” which became a hot trend in 2002. In the movie, ‘Morpheus’ tells ‘Neo’, who is another hero of the movie, that he can move to a different world if he takes either a red or blue pill. Interestingly, this has a thread of connection with a Korean folklore about an evil ghost staying in the bathroom and offering red or blue toilet paper. "
