Ok, this isn't saying that Morganna or a Data Bug or Tsukasa or Kite or Aura could happen, what I mean is more along the lines of how "The World" through a Programmer's view could become a reality. I just got to thinking (and I just started learning. I know about classes and such lol) how difficult...yet possible some of these things in "The World" could be.

Could be...? You mean like doing things in real life that you did in The World ?

Possibility is very different from probability. The probability of something like .hack occurring is low, of course, as it is fiction, and it takes liberties with factual information.

The possibility, on the other hand, is as all possibilities are. Even if it's slim, it's -possible-. At the moment, our level of technology would not allow for such things to occur, therefor, right -now-, the possibility is close to nil, and the probability even less.

Take in mind, though, a few years can make a great difference in the level of technology we posess, so you never really know.

Even if someone exactly like The World didn't come into play, VR games are a possibility. Well, Virtual Boy didn't do well, but that was crap.

Yeah. But simpler things like when BT opens the eye to get to Harald would be quite easy. It would be cool to actually see how far we could push programming genius trying to get anything near what the World is in .hack.

It would be easy. Just kill several people with a bunch of computer viruses that ultimately disable all systems but one.

I'm pretty sure Deadly Flash didn't disable systems; that's what Pluto's Kiss did. Deadly Flash killed people by giving them seizures.

even if the world could happen for real they would make you pay something to let you play cuz it would put a lot of stress on the servers if it were for free.

Why bring up old topic? You know how many server it take to run a The World type game? Many. Server farm with Bartons and many Ram sticks. All that good equip cost $$ and there would probably need to be $10-15/month fee. :3

Egh, ill keep my gaming offline for now, thank you. I believe that virtual gaming WILL cause a threat in the near future, but not Ã¡la World with comas and stuff. Deadly flash seems more possible.

theres barly a chance for anything like a deadly flash happening

Mmm... maybe. If someone can make a virus that makes your screen flash all sorts of trippy stuff.

How do you think that one episode of PokÃ©mon caused a bunch of seizures in Japan? o.O And that was just on TV.

If anything, I say Deadly Flash is possible. I'm just hoping nobody's getting any ideas from .hack ... XD;

I think that the idea of an A.I. gathering memes from players in an mmorpg is a great idea and could actually help develop an A.I., as long as the players were forced to "live", like they are in The World, because it has no absolute goal in it, it's like the real world, where a kid can grow up and leard from the people in it. As for minds being trapped in the game, ok that was just neat fiction... ^^;

Jeez... this is an old topic

But I agree, AI's could be written by observing humans, the question is though, is the AI really thinking for itself? Or just imitating?

Just to give a comment on how much it would most likely cost to play "The World", if this game ever did come across to becoming an actual online MMORPG game, I wouldn't be surprised if it cost 20 bucks or more to play. There are online games right now that cost around 12 bucks and can't even compare how we would imagine "The World" to be like online. It'd be a hefty cost per month, thats for sure.
