Welcome to Gaia! ::

okay could someone explain to me what .hack is im sorry if this may seen dumb and all and many of you will ask "Why join a .hack guild when you know nothing about it ?" well thats just it i wanna know more so please help

It's kinda hard to explain. You can get the original games for about 15 dollars each, however, GU costs as much as a new PS2 game. The current series on Cartoon Network is Roots, which goes along with GU. Most of the other series are on DVD, so that's easy to find in an anime shop. Basically, if you were to play, see or read these, you'd understand better why we have an entire guild devoted to it.

wow...if you say a question like that, then you need the .Hack expert. Haku Hindan is the name. .Hack is both a Manga, Anime, and Game series that a huge hit world wide. .Hack story begins with the epic poem by Emma Weilant, a german poet, who posts her poem on her website (This is before the online game "The World") called "Epitaph of the Twilight". the Epitaph is a great story, but soon her site was closed down because she passed away, and soon after that, coincidently the "Pluto Kiss" virus. The virus infects every computer, and machine that uses or has internet based software. Since in that age, there was a world wide panic, data was lost, and a count down in the Pentagon starts up a countdown to fire nukes because it thought the US was under attacked. Soon the virus was destroyed, but in seventy seven minutes, it nearly wiped out every Data in the world. After Altamit OS was installed, CC Corp released a game called "The World", which a person name Harald Hoerwick helped create. But within the testing, he also put in a program that he locked into the world, which the program is called "Morgana". Morgana was the program to help Harald realize his dream to have a child with Emma Weilant, and he wanted the perfect daughter, or also known as the perfect AI (artificial intelligence)...well if anyone else wants to know...message me, and I'll send you some videos that will help you clue in about .Hack

also...here's the Epitaph of Twilight poem, so you have to understand the basis of the game "The World"...this is what the online game in .Hack is based on...it's confusing, but it's kool


Epitaph of the Twilight

Yet to return, the shadowed one.
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon
Rumbles the Dark Hearth,
And Helba, Queen of the Dark,
has finally raised her army.
Apeiron, King of Light beckons.
At the base of the rainbow they meet
Against the abominable Wave,
together they fight.
Alba's lake boils.
Light's great tree doth fall.
Power- now all to droplets turned
in the temple of Arche Koeln.
Returns to nothing,
this world of shadowless ones.
Never to return, the shadowless one,
Who quests for the Twilight Dragon.


"Welle"
Riding the Wave is Skeith, the Shadow of Death, to drown all that stands.
Mirage of Deceit, Innis, Betray all with the flawed image, and did aid the Wave.
And by the Power of Magus, a drop from the Wave doth reach the heavens, and creates a new Wave.
With the Wave, Fidchell, the power to tell the dark future, hope darkens, sadness and despair rule.
Gorre schemes when swallowed by the Cursed Wave.
Macha seduces with the sweet trap.
Wave reaches the Pinnacle, and escape none can. Tarvos still remains with more cruelty to punish and destroy.
And with the turbulent destruction after the Wave. Only a void remains. From deep within the void arrives Corbenik.


Fragment 0
Shunning the field broken by Wave.
The shadowed girl whispers,
"Surely, I will return."
Alas, the truth unbeknownst.
Awaiting her at journey's end;
Eternal mourning for her land.


Fragment 1
When the finger points to the
yonder moon,
The fool will not look at the fingertip.


Fragment 2
The whole cannot be changed.
We have already lost that chance.
Because the time left to us was short,
We were mistaken in our path.
But now do we realize,
We should change not the whole,
But the parts.


Fragment 3
Wave soars and shrouds the eyes.
No means to fight an omnipresent force,
The shadowless ones just grieve.
Why must it be a Wave?
Divide, if it would just...
Then retaliate, we may.


Fragment 4
Over the Keel Mountains,
Meets an ape with human speech.
The ape asks,
"What clings to you?
Bear it - you cannot.
Accept it - you cannot.
But hidden - it is from you.
Recite its name."

*Note: The answer is "your shadow--your own darkside." But since the riddle is to "recite its name", you are supposed to say your own name.
