my final question about .hack games.

practically thats right, all it does is the summary of Cubia and "the plan"

//Infection Intro
//Mutation Intro 2
//OutBreak Body,gain of conflict, climax
//Quarentine Resolution,Conclusion

in some stores, you can tell the rate of how the games storyline are
(at my store i got Infection for $45, Mutation for 25, and Outbreak for $60)

yes, Mutation is useless; unfornutely, you need it to progress onto Outbreak

And to get all the extras.

I don't really pay attention to those; I try to get through the game and level up.

yeah it would stink being at level 30 and outbreak starts at 50....

This may be off topic, but how many servers are there actually in the game? After all, there are millions of people playing the World, and at least 100 people would be playing at the same time.

Well you see, there are only five servers, but they are seperated by country. You could go to a Lia Fail in Japan and then Lia Fail in the U.S. and see different people!

wouldnt that mean there is more than one C.C corp to make the servers and constantly monitor them?

or just they sold the program?

Maybe the CCcorp has some sort of huge building with a gazillion admins monitoring "the world" 24/7.

It's likely that it would work the same way games and other distributed Internet services do today: the servers are all in leased data center space throughout the world, and staff work in shifts to monitor and support the game. They probably have a technician or two near each server site, who get woken up at 3 AM if something breaks.

(I'm very familiar with this sort of system, being the technician in question. ^_^)

(techinician huh? i am interested in that kind of stuff, *needs a mentor lol*)

wouldnt that in a way be what Mr.Tokuoka use to do?
