[ No surprise that the green-clad guild leader was checking out his favorite town, Dol Dona, ahead of the crowd. A large smile is stuck on his face as he investigates everything, emanating excitement. He really liked the Dol Dona @Home, so he's hoping soon Canard will be able to upgrade.

Snag him for partying/bother him? ]

[Unfamiliar person spotted! Bother?

>Y
>N]

Hellooooo!

Checking out the new server, too? This place is just full of surprises!

[smilesforfree]

[ Oh! We like being bothered. Have a bright smile. ]

Hey! Oh yes, all of the events have been a lot of fun so far. Dol Dona was my favorite of all four cities, really... I'm glad it's back.

[ismellarare]

Was your favorite? You mean you've been here before?

[smilesforfree]

Oh, yes! You see, I'm actually familiar with The World, before being stuck here like everyone else. In my own world, it was a massive multiplayer online game; an MMO RPG. You played it on a computer or a mobile headset with a character you created.

[ismellarare]

[She blinks several times, staring as the gears begin to turn.]

You mean... they really did update The World? This isn't just a new setting for all the people who got trapped here?

how much would you like her mind blown on a scale of 0~10 LMFAO

[smilesforfree]

Eh? What do you mean?

[ It's his turn to stare a bit blankly, tilting his head. ]

Do you know it as a game too?

I'm fine with anything up to like, 11 haha

[ismellarare]

Yeah... The World. The largest MMORPG in the real world, run by C.C. Corp? I play it all the time, but it looks nothing like this!

lmao all right <3

[smilesforfree]

Ehhh? Could it be you haven't played it in a while? There was a huge server crash or something that obliterated all of the data a good few years ago, so now it's The World R:2. Everything's revised, with new classes and items and towns.

[ismellarare]

...Wha...

Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?! You're kidding, right? There's no way that could-!

[smilesforfree]

Ah, no, I'm afraid not. I don't know the details myself since it was before I really got into computer gaming, but I think it was some sort of virus?

[ He frowns, looking down. He didn't mean to be the bearer of bad news. ]

[ismellarare]

That can't be...

[Part of her doesn't want to believe it. How could that be possible? But on the other hand, she's also been physically sucked into a game, so... at this point, it's hard not to. Especially since the guy doesn't seem to be the type to lie at that.]

...Everything was destroyed? There was no data left remaining at all?

[smilesforfree]

Or wait, I remember! It was a fire. There was a fire in the C.C.Corp building, and most of the data for The World was lost. It was back in early 2015. The World R:2 came out on Christmas of the same year.

There was a bit of the basics, I think-- the framework of The World. So I guess they used that to create R:2.

[ismellarare]

[That... is really not good. On many levels. It also meant that...]

Zefie...

It happens in 2015? But that's a year away!

nfi when the current G.U. timeline is actually sob. I just know .hack//LINK said it ended in 2018

[smilesforfree]

Eh? No, it's been out for over a year now.

I usually have to look it up to remember when everything happens... x_x;

[ismellarare]

But... it's only 2014.

Ahhhh, this is confusing!
