Looks like there's plenty of interest alright. A lot of the .hack rp's I've been in die when everyone is first meeting up, so I'm contemplating having everyone at least recognize each other, if not have their member addresses.
Another idea I've been toying with is that the games are focused on defeating a "virus/rogue ai/data entity" while the show focuses more on dialog rather than action. I'd like to balance that out a bit, without losing interest, which would probably mean having some action really early on, or at least an interesting story that catches the interest of rp'ers (though it seems I've got plenty of interest here.)
I'd like to have this rp take place in "The World R:3", which is the third revision of the world. CC Corp, decided to make a new revision to "The World" which allows people to play as the original R:1 classes, or their R:2 classes and import their characters from either (which was a big complaint amongst many players in the G.U. games) Features from both games were brought in, but so were some of the problems that plagued the earlier versions. (Like Aida)
I've played through the G.U. games, and I've seen all of .hack//sign. I have only played .hack//infection and part of .hack//mutation. A more thorough description will be put up in the ooc, when I get around to making it later today.
