I know why ALTIMIT wasn't affected by Pluto's Kiss!

If I'm right, it could change the way we view the events in the .hack// games.

As we all know, ALTIMIT is the "Perfect OS." It has never been affected by viruses. It's computers were uneffected by Pluto's Kiss which also suggests that they weren't affected by Deadly Flash either. Why? I think I know. Doesn't it seem strange, that each time you defeat a Phase, the problems in the World only get worse? One would think that these monsters were the problem in the first place. I think however that the Eight Phases were supposed to be in the World and the ALTIMIT OS from the very beginning. Their job is to absorb and contain any corrupted or virus data. After all, they can in fact, use Data Drain. When Data Drain is used, the user abosrbs the data extracted from the target. Some of the data is reformatted in the process while the rest is absorbed. What this means is that each time you defeat a Phase, you are releasing the absorbed viruses back into the net.

I really wanna know what you guys think about this.

Falseified, The World wasn't even made during the outbreak of Pluto's Kiss that effected all computers. The events of the virus that attacked all OS's happened way before even Fragment was developed which is the earlist version of The World.

I just thought of this-Maybe the person who wrote Pluto's Kiss was hired by ALTIMIT. He could have written it to specifically bypass ALTIMIT systems. It would look like ALTIMIT was virus proof, in fact, the only OS that was virus proof. This way, all of ALTIMIT's compitition would loose customers and go broke, and ALTIMIT becomes the next Microsoft.

You are aware that:

Well, it could've been like, "Hey kid, we'll pay you losta moolah if you just screw up every OS in the world 'cept ours!" : P

...or not.

But hey, I agree with DMarx. But there could be other reasons... like ALTIMIT could've been advanced enough or have stronger virus protection against it.

My theory is that Altimit paid someone to do it then blamed it on a 10-year-old kid based on the recent viruses being made by children; thus making it look "normal." With their OS as the only one who survived, they basically monopolize the OS market, forcing Harold Hyuek to bring about the AI who makes the real world move on: You forget their businessmen, and their corporate, etc etc, and that if they had that much money, they just might as *well.*

I know that the World wasn't created then. However, I stand by my position that the Eight Phases are virus safeguards at the core of the ALTIMIT network. They were based on the Eight Phases out lined in the Epitaph of Twilight. When the World was first created, Harald gave them forms in the game that they corresponded to what his wife outlined in the Epitaph of Twilight. The same goes for Aura and maybe even Morgana.

Eh? I really don't think so. I think without Morganna, the Eight Phases would cease to exist... or something like that. I highly doubt that they were just 'hiding' in the network somewhere. If I'm correct about that, than Morganna would've had to exist in there somewhere too. But that's impossible, since Harold is the one who created Morganna in the first place...

Duskino stole what I was going to say. Morgana has to exist first for the Phases to exist...damn. I hate it when you want to say something and someone beats ya to it ^^;

Buddy? You just asked to be kicked, shot, and eaten by your serious lack of knowledge and strong belief of the eight phases being "safeguards" which is utter crap and other details which can be found through more intellectual posts within this very page of threads.

If you knew that The World wasn't created then, then you should also know that Morgana = The World.

Thus, if Morgana = The World, then Morgana can't exist at a time when The World didn't. Next, Altimit wasn't even called Altimit didn't even have anything to do with The World: That was CyberConnect2's game, sold to them by Harold. And it's time to get your facts right, damn n00b: Harold was not married to Emma, he just had this extremely stalker-like Crush on her. Furthermore, the eight phases + Aura = supposed to make the net world move on from the monopoly market created by Altimit's mere existance from their survival of Pluto Kiss. Also; Emma's epitaph was edited by Harold to fit the situation of the game. Although the eight phases existed in both versions, no "form" of the phases was described: and I bet you don't know who "Saya" is if I was to ask you so. The eight phases are not safeguards to any virus in any sort of way; they are tools made to de-monopolize a market. Stick to whatever stupid beliefs you want, there is direct fact, and it's been laid in your face. Now STFU, learn something from this post, and go be a more informed .hack fan for Ford's sake.

Alright, then tell me mr. know-it-all, why wasn't ATLIMIT affected by Pluto's Kiss then?

Duskino · Post by **Duskino** » Sat Jul 05, 2003 3:13 pm

Rhyste is a girl o_o

AND ALSO, ALTIMIT's survival of Pluto Kiss is probably one of those things that are never explained. It survived. Accept that fact. And if you already read what's been posted, you would've SEEN the theories already posted. -_-; Just shut up and look.

Well when someone puts Balmung's Bed(room) as their location in their profile, I kinda hope it's a girl and not a guy.

But anyways honestly, does it really matter how ALTIMIT survived the Pluto Kiss outbreak? If it didn't then would we have "The World"?

Another theory that I came up with was that maybe the virus was only targetted for the most used OS, and the kid didn't know about ALTIMIT therefore he forgot to code the virus to attack it? Or maybe ALTIMIT has a completely different framework that the virus didn't know how to enter so it never made it in......yet

Sorry, it was bugging me. -.-;!
