i see what your saying i personaly like the idea of character creation and the feel of the game, but say for instance the types of atacks and clases that can be picked they can have some of the features and even throw in a story mode and story/quest mode with multy player feature. and putting that aside lets say they implemented the data abnormalities just to make it interesting like they were suppose to for fragment. or how about events that only open say once a year (forest of death) and threw in the arena battle were any one can get the chance for emperor. and have break ins like in A.I buster were creatures would flood the at homes (^ mac anu).
they could even have multiple servers for different expansions or lets say styles of the world (R:2 R:3) or specific quest to get kite, or helba or some one elses character data limited to only high levels but then allows them to use some of there abilities but weak (partial data drain) (keyword hacks).
and character creation would be sick if you cross have character creation like in soul cal or tekken added but with .hack style art.
wow would actually have a competitor for once. i mean look at .hack// link a lot of people are getting it without even knowing what its about just because they are fans.
there is potential not to mention money and jobs in this idea alone. and unlike wow it could be on new gen systems not just pc. so there are good points to i definitely see what you mean though it would take a lot of work to get it done but i mean hell i just brainstormed this in a few minutes imagine what cc could create right XD
sorry for the wall of text got carried away but i would like to see what cc could creat so i support //The World mmo ^_^(*has just voted *)

Still, if it helps, there's a rainbow variety of MMO's out there; lots of them are rather anime-esque as well; though I kinda think that WoW would be the closest thing to "The World" in general; if not D&D Online, or...actually I don't know of many MMO's, but you get the idea~
To be honest, I think a .hack MMORPG is viable, with thought! I do give example to the Final Fantasy MMORPG (currently XI) obviously Final Fantasy alone wouldn't be a good MMORPG alone. However I believe with revamping the actual story for online play can be done.
Example:
Beta Release: Actual R:1/2 Content & Quests (minus the One Sin Events)
Retail Release: Mixing the story of "The World" with ".hack" giving way to Data Bugs, AIDA, Outer Dungeons (basically expansions) Let's start of with the Raw Version being a mix of R1 in a GU Setting! Actual bosses could be from the GU fields etc... leading up to end bosses (mysterious Data Bug). Obviously Mysterious Data Bug would be a CC2 creation relating to the MMO version.
All of the above adventure (the gap) would be leading up to a final boss fight. The gap being investigating areas, really buggy areas like outer dungeons, which lead to normal areas, and normal areas leading to fake lost grounds, and fragment areas like Net Slum. Obviously this is just my idea for a part, which could be expanded like what they do in most MMORPGs. Essentially they'd keep the .hack//: and "The World" feel, and incorporate a new story-line within the Online version.
Sorry if I ramble, but I get agitated that ppl believe this couldn't be a real MMORPG.
oops guess some one already explained most of what i said well at least i added to the support ^^ so it looks like 2 votes ^ ,(huge population) V
the odds look good XD
