Of course they're programmed to show up...

It's just a question I decided to ask to bring up a conversation. Not unlike "Why does Japanese anime not show Japanese people" or some .hack question that has no definitive answer unless you goto the creators, you know?

But then... They're just programmed to be there, right? So if you collected all of the Grunty food in an area, gathered a whole bunch of people, and got them to stand all over the place and watch where the food would show up, then what would it look like when they come back? Would they just kind of pop up or something? :P

When all the grunty food is extinguished, this is what happens.

Player: Oh well, there's no more. *Warp out*

*Several seconds later, Piros sneaks in*

Piros: They're gone? Phew. *Sneaks around putting the Grunty Food in all the usual places* Why do I have to do the dirty work? >_<

For all the servers, including the ones in other countries? You'd need like two of him, probably.

Bad joke Albedo, don't make me bust out Erde Kaiser on you...

I think it'd be like the old NES games - where once you kill an enemy, it's gone for however long you stay in the area. But once you move away and come back, it's back. At least to an extent in .hack//--------- ...

Ahhh, good old Piros Gruntyseed, frolicing throughout The World spreading the seeds that will eventually turn into annoying talking pieces of vegetation... Somebody give the guy a hand!

Makes you wonder where the grunty babies come from, too. Do all the stray grunties have wild parties when you aren't around? O.o

Well according to Sal the Stray Grunty in Theta Server; all the Grunty babies are his children, but then... who is the Mother?

The mother probably lives off on one of those platforms you see but can't reach. That's where all the unwanted babies go, too. *nod nod*
