Well, I think that Bandai is a little off on the whole MMORPG thing, I mean, there's no one that flames you, besides (Lios :3), there's no one with numbers in their names (and I know that most of teh time when you make an accout, your name is already taken, unless it's a really wierd name ), also, there's hardly anyone on the servers.

But this is an anime & a simulated MMORPG. wouldn't it be lame to have people get in your way all the time?
Plus, I don't think it would be very fun to see people with names that have numbers going into the millions. Also, I remind you that usually the Japanese don't put nbumbers into their name unless it sounds cool.
The Japanese & American/Canada cultures are very different.

It's not realistic for a reason. To start, your e-mail box would have pages and pages of nothing but spam flames froms unknown players that have names that aren't even readable or perverted e-mails which would boost the rating of the game, and even the board would be full of flames and spam with the occasional mod trying to control it all. And you'd have a hard time even playing the game because the servers would constantly be down because there's too many people (20 million, that's four million people per Root town) and even if you got in, the Root towns would be so packed that you couldn't even move, much less buy stuff. Then, everyone would talk in l33t, which would be annoying because you can't understand what they're saying, and then every time you got to the end of a dungeon someone would have allready run off with the treasure, and then you would get frustrated and quit. That's what it would be like if more realistic. 
1. ok, Lios does pretty much imply that he tries and make the boards and the game peaceful, so he probably punishes flamers and whatnot
2. the numbers, i heard Bear say in Sign that you couldnt put numbers in your name, before you say that with all the people, finding a name would be hard, but move on to point 3
3. in the manga, we know that Hotaru came to the japanese servers to learn japanese, here's my point, maybe there are different servers for different languages and countries? each one the same, and that most of the .hack series is just on the japanese server? they do that kinda thing y'know, because since mixing keywords doesnt take up space, and that the different root towns really WERE different servers, then we have these big servers with so much space left over, and since you can't move to a different language server with the same character data, the same name can exist on different language servers, and Net Slum is on every language server, of course, so theoretically it can be used as a highway to travel to other servers, Helba says this herself in the third volume of manga in the japanese version, and it does make plausible sense

We have discussed this before, and this is true. Each nation has it's own servers, exactly like all the other servers in other countries.The new .hack expert (a.k.a.

Yes, but even with seperate city servers, 20 million is a whole lot of people. First off, not all countries are as big as America is. There would be smaller countries that wouldn't even need a city server, and to add to that, there are some third-world countries that don't even have Internet connection. And as for the big countries, they wouldn't put one in every city, that'd be far to much work, and it wouldn't make any sense. They'd probably just put it in the most prominant citys. (For example America might have 50 for each of the states. Japan might have four for each of the four islands, and the other smaller countries would only have one. The other larger countries (like Canada, China, Russia ect.) might have anywhere from 20 to 50 depending on how big they are. (So that's about 170 total for the big countries) as for the smaller countries that have Internet connections, I'd say about 100 countries (I'm guessing) but lets say 400 for the sake of arguement. 20 million divided by 400 = 50,000 divided by 5 (the five servers) = 10,000 people per each one of the five servers inside the country servers, city servers, or whatever you want to call them servers.YamiJared wrote:true, but maybe, since some countries are so large, they have like, Brooklyn, Tokyo, London and New York servers too?
I don't think you realized exactly how many people 20 millon is.I have, actually, im just not good with math, of course, there could be mirror servers incase a server gets filled up, and then there's the passage of time, people wont be on all the time, people arent always in the Root Towns, not even that much, and even so, there's still the people in the feilds, effectively scattering the players, and then there's the assloads of coma victims, and the majority of coma victims who will probably never return to the World o.o

Player characters range from the ages of 12-19, so half the time, they are at school

Assloads of coma victims? By my count, only 19 people fell into comas as a result of Data Drain. There were 6 victims when Kite's adventure began, and 13 more over the course of the games, including the 5 CC Corp. employees under Lios. 19 people isn't even a ten thousandth of one percent of the users. The absence of the comatose players would not make a noticeable difference.
I didn't know that he was THAT bad
