I loved the .hack series and was really into the first game, but when I bought the second and saw that it was the exact same thing all over again, I stopped playing and got kind of mad that I had just spent like $40 on like five more hours worth of storyline. :sweat:

There were rumors floating around that there was going to be an actual The World MMORPG, but with MMOs sort of puttering out due to flooding the market, I don't know if it's still in the works or not.
