.hack//G.U.+

In 2015 a fire at the main CC Corp. building resulted in the loss of a lot of data, and The World was forced to shut down. By splicing in data from what would have been another game, CC Corp was able to rebuild the game system. The next year, "The World R:2" was released, but many old players objected because they were unable to bring over their old characters. However, many new users were drawn in by the new style, and over 12 million copies were sold. Though not a match for the previous version's 20 million users, it became the top-selling netgame on the market." As a result of the new world, four major clans (Kestrel, Lunar Tree, Canard, and Raven) came to power. The clans actions shape 'The World', and most players end up taking one side or another during conflicts.

Reviews

jedimaster

This series is an interesting twist on the popular PS2 games with a different story from the games. The story line can be confusing to those who have played the games and know the story around the game. Quite an interesting reading with many alternatives to the games which is appropriate on most accounts. This series is definitly an interesting read if your a dot hack fan.
