someone explain this to me?

WELL...
The computer game MMORPG "The World" was fun for everyone until news reports about a person falling into a coma scared everyone and there were many rumors going around. Haseo is the main character in this story, and we learn that, after losing his best friend Shino to a PK (player-killer), he trains up to level 133 and confronts the Pk, Tri-edge. He loses badly and gets Data Drained and returns to level 1.

That's just the just of it, though. I barely scratched the surface...

Yes...that's how it is. But not only is it good, it rated among the top RPG's a few years ago. It's really fun, and if you love fighting monsters, fighting battles, and a cliffhanger storyline, then this is the game for you.
Hopefully one day they'll make the acctual game...hopefully...

Yea. It's really fun!! You should try it!!

[Alkaid]

Yeah!! And you could always return it if you don't like it!! Just keep the reciept!

Does anyone know where I could get .Hack Quarantine? (The last one in the old series) I've checked every gamestop and Rhino in my area and still no luck...Any advice here?

[Sakubo_chan]

It's super-rare. It might take awhile to find it. Have you checked the internet?

Whoa.

Hey I'm actaully curious about this game.

Can anyone actaully tell me about this series??

Anything you could tell about it would be great.

I managed to beat the first game of the series, but when I started playing the second part, I kinda lost interest in it. It's an okay game, but I think the disappointment of it not being a real mmorpg started to sink in. I should consider picking it up again sometime though. (On a side note: I loved the anime series ^_^"")

Okay, then!! Let's put it in a nutshell...
Well, let's start with the old series.
You've just logged into "The World" for the first time. (the World is an online mmorpg, and the year is around 2010)
You're a Twin blade, originally named Kite (you can name him whatever you want), and your best friend has invited you to join him for some training. After training for a bit, he takes you inside the dungeon, where you both witness a girl being chased by a monster, and follow the two. When your friend (Orca) and you catch up to the pair, a red wand grabs your friend and he is data drained, causing the real him to fall into a coma. It's your job to follow the leads in a four-part game to recover him and all of the other players who have fallen into comas.

Well, that's as bluntly as I can put it. In reality, it's a little funner, if you're patient. :)
