Background Of The Story
So those who haven't played/read/watched .Hack, or for those who need their memory refreshed, this here is going to help you.
So .Hack is about an MMORPG called The World, no it's not a REAL MMO, it serves as the base for all the stories. This story takes place in the second series of .Hack called .Hack//GU. The MMO is called, The World R:2. There are Ten classes. Now I'll give a little info on each class.
Twin Blade: Class using small twin daggers. They're faster and elegant. Think of them as Assasains. They're not as powerful as the other Melee Classes but they can still hold their own in battle. All their skills are based around using lightning-fast techniques that finish off the opponent without them knowing what's happening.
Edge Punisher: One of the powerhouses of The World. Not as fast the Twin Blade but much stronger. Wielding giant blades in battle. Although they are strong, their lack of speed makes them vulnerable to Magic attacks. Their skills are compiled of powerful smashes and bashes that beat enemies to a pulp.
Blade Brandier: The Average Joe in The World. Yet popular with the players for that very reason. Not as strong as Edge Punishers but faster, not as fast as Twin Blades but stronger. They wield thin blades such as Katanas. Their skills are quick and strong, dishing out good combos.
Harvest Cleric: The main healers of The World. The weapons are staves. Their low in physical power and defense. They learn all healing spells, whether it's HP/SP or Status Effects. They're no the best in combat which is why they're the most PKed class. Unless in a Party with other, Harvest Clerics are extremely vulnerable to being PKed. It's still a popular Class between people because they The World will always need healers!
Macabre Dancer: The 'Buffing' Class in The World. They wield fans to use in battle. They in the middle of Harvest Clerics and Shadow Warlocks(The Mage in The World). They can learn some healing spells and some offensive spells. They also learn all the Status Inflicting Spells. They're a class to watch out for in they're in a Party. However, even alone, they can still put up a good fight with their Average Physical power.
Shadow Warlock: The Mage class in The World. Their wield Girimoires, which are like floating Spellbooks on a staff. They're learn all the offensive magic and can use up to level 5 Offense Magic. Although not good in hand-to-hand combat, Shadow Warlocks are smart enough to keep their distance that way they can easily destroy their enemies without lifting a finger. If fighting a Shadow Warlock, always fight up close, or else once they hit you from long range, you're done for!
Flick Reaper: Class that uses Scythes as their weapons. Attacks can reach in a small area. Their skills are wicked. Their stats are average like the Blade Brandier. They solo a lot and can be formidable opponents, but also reliable allies if in a party with others. They're definitely a class to be weary of.
Steam Gunner: The long-range class! They use guns and bayonets to shoot their opponents into Oblivion! They're not too good in Hand-to-Hand combat as well. If fighting up close, they'll pretty much be dominated. But, if they get the chance to strike you from afar, they'll use every skill in their arsenal to obliterate you!
Tribal Grappler: The fastest class in The World. They use Gauntlets and Knuckles in battle making them experts in hand-to-hand combat. However, they wear very light armor making them weak in defense but they make up for it by having high HP. Even though they don't have much power, they have plenty of combos to deal with adds up the damage.
Lord Partizan: The Main Tank in The World, they wield Giant Drills and Axes. They were heavy armor giving them a huge amount of defense but making them VERY slow. They are most vulnerable to Spells. It's not a popular class because of it's sluggish speed, but those who use it are happy with this super strong powerhouse.
Adept Rogue: The Proverbial Jack-Of-All Trades. They are a unique class that can choose multiple classes to use. But the classes cost points. Each Adept Rogue gets 4 points to use and can choose a maximum of three classes. Some classes cost more than others. All the magic types are three points as well as a steam gunner. For example, someone could be a Harvest Cleric and a Blade Brandier(since it costs one point). But Adept Rogues would level slowly and learn skills at a lower rate. Players unlock the Jobs by completing Job Extension Quests which occur at levels 30, 50, and 70, only 50 if the player has two Jobs.
Now that we have the Classes defined, we shall get down the basic terms of the game to help understand.
PK-Player Killer, someone who kills players for fun or for money. PKK is a Player Killer Killer.
PC- A Players Character
NPC-Non-Playable Characters such as Shop owners.
Guild-In The World, a group of players can create a Guild. Every Server has an @home which serves as a guild's HQ. Only those in the guild can get a key to the @home, or they can give guest passes to other characters. Each guild will have a guild leader who can organize events. Each guild can run a guild shop which will sell items to players for money. After getting enough money, the Guildmaster can expand their guild to be moved to a bigger @home in a different server. A Player can be in as many Guilds as they want, but most are in only one. If the Guild gets enough member and money(known as GP In-Game) they can apply for an area to have the guild be placed in. The area will be given specific keywords.
Server- In The World, there are 4 servers, Delta: Mac Anu, Theta: Dol Donna, Omega: Lumina Cloth, and Sigma: Breg Epona. Delta being the server for beginners and Sigma being the server for advanced players. The Theta Server is the only server without "Areas" it is home to the Arena, where players can compete in tournaments or matches for GP. Arena's are also used as a fair way to fight instead of PKing. Any player can participate in the Arena alone, or with their party.
Party- A group of players that can carry out quests together or just adventure, PK, etc. Maximum number of player per party is Three.
Area: Areas are the places where Players go adventuring or do quests. Each Server has a set number of keywords. You use three keywords to visit an Area, whether it's a field or a dungeon. Each row(there are three rows) will contain 30 Keywords with gives a HUGE variety of places people can go to. Players may also exchange Areas on BBS'.
BBS-Forums for players to post Area Keywords, Recruit Guild Members, talk about Quests, gossip about players, etc.
Root Town- Each Server has a Root Town, that Town is known as a Safe Zone where no player can be PKed. One town per server. It serves at the base of a server.
Chaos Gate- Mode of Transportation used to go to a different Server or an Area.
That's it for your lesson about .Hack R:2. I will start the actual story itself tomorrow!
