.hack\\GU is basically about the "world", "The World" is an mmorpg played in the year 2008,[Confusing I Know]
_____________________________________________________________________________
The version im making of hack is sort of like a  vol.4, called .hack\\GU.Eclipse. It will be primarily based on the world. But for everyone who has played the games knows it will be quite a difficult task. At the moment this is a work in progress, an idea that could be a good game if done correctly.
I'm not gonna start anything until i get a team thats dedicated.

**The Begining**:

You will be starting of the game in a **"area"** [Look below for Area meaning]. In the area you will be learning the basics of the game and how "Areas" work. After you complete the area and get the item at the end of the area you will be transported to town.

**Area**:
In "The World" there is towns and then there is "areas" Areas is were you lvl up and get xp and items. To get to an area you would go the teleportation system and type the "area words". To get to an area u put 4 "area words" and you will be transported to an area. You gain area words from completing areas and by other people giving you area words.

**Quests:**: In each town in "The World" there is a quest shop where you can get quests depending on ur lvl.. You will then be given area words by the quest shop owner. There is also Job Advancement quests that you can do at certain levels.

**Classes**  

    * Twin Blade: A Character Class similar to the original Twin Blade in The World, though this Class may utilise two longer edged blades. This is the first of the three classes Haseo chose when picking classes as an Adept Rogue. Negimaru,Alkaid, Azure Kite, and Natsume are all Twin Blades. Twin Blades are speed-oriented and are able to deal quick, successive blows. They have more attack styles than any other class.

    * Edge Punisher: A character class that uses two-handed heavy weapons to fight, usually broadswords, similar to a Heavy Blade in The World. Some swords have mechanized "secondary weapons" on them, such as the chainsaw on Haseo's Centipede broadsword ( Broad Legged ). Haseo chose Edge Punisher as the second class for his Adept Rogue. This class is also used by Sakaki, Grein, Asta, Gabi, and Saburo. Their attacks, while powerful, are slow.

    * Lord Partizan: A Character Class that utilizes various pole-arm weapons, similar to a Long Arm in The World. This class is now used by Piros the 3rd, whose weapon looks like a long golden mace, and Nala. They fight like Heavy Axemen, using attacks that are slower than other classes, but can deal the most immediate damage. Lord Partizans have lots of monster-oriented skills including Armor-Piercing and Aerial skills.

    * **Blade Brandie**r: A character class that uses a one-handed sword or a dagger to fight. They are swift, agile, accurate, and similar to a Blademaster in The World. Endrance, Silabus, Bordeaux, Kaede, Antares, Ender, Wool, Azure Balmung, Azure Orca, and Cashmere are known Blade Brandiers.

    * **Macabre Dancer**: This unique character class uses a pair of sharp fans as weapons and fights with a fluid dancing motion, they are known in The World R:2 as 'Flowers of the Battlefield'. Yata, Naobi, and Hiiragi are all Macabre Dancers.

    * **Flick Reaper**: A rare Character Class that wields scythes or large axes. The stats of this class are very much like the Long Arms, for the class itself excels in speed and strength, but lessens in defense. This class is used by Zelkova, and is Haseo's third Adept Rogue class. They are designed for sweeping attacks, meant to literally "flick" enemies away before they can get within attacking range. Of course, a Steam Gunner or Lord Partizan could get at them easily.

    * **Tribal Grappler**: A Character Class that utilizes their fists, claws, feet and various wrestling-type manoeuvers to fight. It's similar to the Kickboxer class in .hack//Legend of the Twilight Bracelet. This class is used by Pi, Sirius, Tabby, and Gord. They are easiest to achieve solo Rengeki Finish attacks with.

    * **Harvest Cleric:** A Character Class that use staffs and specializes in defensive and healing magic instead of direct fighting. Similar to a Wavemaster in The World. This class focuses on support magic. Atoli, Shino, Phyllo, and Seisaku fall under this particular class type.

    * **Shadow Warlock**: Also similar to a Wavemaster, the Shadow Warlock is a Character Class in which the character uses offensive magic, powered by a large spellbook, instead of physical attacks to defeat the opponent. Sakubo, Gaspard, Tawaraya, and Tohta are all Shadow Warlocks.

    *** Steam Gunner:** A Character Class that uses a rifle with a sword-like bayonet running the length of it. This class specialises in both long-range and close-quarter fighting. Kuhn, Ovan, Taihaku, Sakisaka, and B Set utilize this class.

***Adept Rogue**: A rarely used class in the world, and is seen as the weakest class in the world. Some people pick them for there talents in different weaponry, Rogues start of using Twin Blades then eventually get Scythes,BroadSwords,Axes.

[[color=black]b]AIDAAIDA stands for Artificially Intelligent Data Anomaly, AIDA has formed itself in "The World" to "observe" players and such. Aida is very dangerous and is not known by the general players of the world. If you are touched by aida it is said that you go into a coma in real life.

Avatar of 8 Phases:
When the game creatores of "The World" created "The World" they special selected peoples accounts to be able to go into avatar form without the account owners knowing, they made them to destroy the threat of aida. [could you be an avatar]?

    * Skeith - The Terror of Death: The Avatar controlled by Haseo, he uses it to destroy AIDA, as well as fight other Avatars. Aside from these basic functions, Haseo also uses Skeith to defeat other PCs, though it has been known to go out of control.
      In Volume 2, Skeith is upgraded to a more powerful form. This is due to Haseo's job extension. Skeith powers up further in Volume 3 when Haseo gains his Xth form.

    * Innis - The Mirage of Deceit: Innis is controlled by Atoli and first appears in Volume 2 of GU. After Sakaki infects Atoli with AIDA, he uses AIDA to awaken Innis within Atoli. Innis possesses the Mirage ability, which can create "ghosts" of characters (as it does with Azure Orca and Azure Balmung during the battle with Sirius) or even create entire areas to display memories (creating three hallways and a classroom in part of Moon Tree's @HOME).

    * Magus - The Propagation: This Avatar is controlled by Kuhn, who uses it to destroy AIDA as part of Project GU. It was the only Avatar to be salvaged after the fire at CC Corp and was eventually given to Kuhn, a CC Corp employee, as part of Project GU. Magus is capable of creating multiple copies of itself. Creating copies of itself can leave an enemy frustrated in the heat of battle. Additionally, it has the ability to 'propagate' huge amounts of random data, allowing Kuhn to survive a Data Drain attack with minimal ill effects.

    * Fidchell - The Prophet: Fidchell is the Avatar used by Yata, revealed in Volume 3\. Fidchell, much like Macha, is a humanoid upper body attached to a great hovering contraption. As it could when it was a Phase, Fidchell makes a prophecy upon its defeat - this prophecy has not been fan-translated, making information about it minimal.

    * Gorre - The Machinator: Gorre is controlled by Sakubo; it is seen in Volume 2 of GU under Saku's control while she is infected by an AIDA. It is designed in such a way that it can transform (involving inversion of the Avatar and rearrangement of several plates) between a red "active" form (which it primarily uses during the battle) and a blue "passive" form (which is used for the Paradise Invite attack). The red form is controlled by Saku, the blue by Bo. During parts of the Paradise Invite and Data Drain attacks, both personalities manifest simultaneously (and bicker constantly during the latter).

    * Macha - The Temptress: Macha is the Avatar under Endrance's control and the only active Avatar in Volume 1 of GU not working under Project GU. Endrance himself was infected by an AIDA and used the Avatar to win battles in the Arena. Contrary to popular belief, Mia, the cat on Endrance's shoulder, is not connected to Endrance.
      Macha is used to increase Skeith's power so Haseo can continue fighting.

    * Tarvos - The Avenger: Tarvos is controlled by Pi, who works under Yata and Project GU. Tarvos was given to Pi through her brother, Jun Banshoya, who stole the Avatar from CC Corp before the fire. Unlike Kuhn, she doesn't use her Avatar and it is not seen until she is infected by an AIDA later in Volume 1.

    * Corbenik - The Rebirth: Corbenik is an Avatar controlled by Ovan, as revealed in volume 2 of the GU game series. It appears in GU after the fight with Ovan. Contrary to popular belief, it is not directly associated with Ovan's sealed left arm. In Volume 3, Corbenik's left arm transforms into a cannon easily twice the size of the Avatar itself - it mostly attacks using the cannon in this form, and requires multiple Data Drains to defeat. Corbenik's special ability, Rebirth, is a safeguard programmed by Harald Hoerwick into The World, capable of resetting the entirety of the Internet.

    * Game Masters: Game Master (GM) is a title used by CC Corp employees, giving them the ability to maintain events and perform administrative duties. GMs include Reki & Magi from .hack//Legend of the Twilight as well as many unnamed other references as seen in episode 2 during the Cherry Blossom Event.

    * Crimson Knights: Characters that fight to protect the World from illegal users. However none of them had any real administrative power. All of them work for Subaru. One of their objectives was to capture Tsukasa. They were all disbanded. (Scarlet Knights in the Japanese Version)

    * Cobalt Knights: A team of system administrators who hunt down Vagrant A.I. and delete them. The first known leader was Albireo. Later the group was led by Kamui. Formed from the remnants of the Crimson Knights, and possessed much more power.

    * Cerulean Knights: The Cerulean Knights are a non-canon group of knights that replaced the Cobalt Knights in the Legend of the Twilight anime. Rather than hunting down Vagrant AI, they were created to prevent internet terrorism within The World.

    * Illegal Character: A character that has been illegally edited via hacking. Helba and Keyaki fall into this category.

    * NPC: Stands for non-playable characters. These are just programs that are used in shops. Most or all of their dialogue is scripted and they perform very limited functions.

    * Player Killer: A PK is like a serial killer who for whatever reason purposefully kills other player characters. Sora and Tri-Edge are examples.

    * Player Killer Killer: Player Killer Killers hunt down Player Killers and such.

    * Rare Hunters: Characters that like collecting rare items. Some may be obsessed with collecting rare items. Some own a special rare room for storing their items because it holds more than the storage in the NPCs. It is dishonorable for them to knowingly accept cheat items. Mistral and her daughter, Mireille both follow this ideal.

    * System Administrator: Players that are in charge of protecting the world. They delete any hackers, cheaters and wandering A.I. Some are also in charge of setting up events for players to play. The first known Admins were Albireo and some unnamed references in .hack//AI Buster, Lios of the game series, and Balmung and Kamui from .hack//Legend of the Twilight.

    * Vagrant / Wandering AI: Corrupted or illegal programs that have achieved a state of pseudo-existence within The World. They are hunted by system administrators who delete them in their debugging duties. Aura, Zefie, Morganna, Mia, The phases, and Lycoris are Vagrant AI. A parallel may be drawn between them and Rampant AI. Most of the known Vagrant AI are, unbeknownst to game staff, part of the system itself.

Root Towns

The World is comprised of a cluster of different servers distributed around the world. When players login, they materialize in the Root Town of the server they last used.

Root Towns are central areas in the game where players can socialize, create parties, and do business with other players and NPCs. Each server in The World has its own unique Root Town. They are the starting and ending point of any gaming session. In order to properly logout of the game, the player must be in a Root Town.

Each Root Town has a Chaos Gate, a large revolving ring used to transport players to areas or other servers. To transport to an Area, a series of three keywords must be entered. These keywords determine such parameters such as difficulty, terrain, and weather amongst other things. Most keyword combinations result in an Area with a field and a dungeon.

Root Towns are the only place in The World where players don't need to worry about monsters. The only exception to this rule is that once every few months, the Root Towns will be invaded by monsters; the only way for the players to stop the invasion is to defeat the monsters' leader.
