This chat room was basically the same thing that I've been making with the MetaGateX. It was a Japanese style chat room, in which you use avatars that were moving sprites...and you walked around a town talking to people.

April 30th 2008 1 AM..... .hack//Chat met its end...this created chaos and sadness for the many fans of this place. Despite this place only being a chat room, that's not how the fans thought of it. To them it was their home...a place of gathering... Before the chat died, many questioned whether they were even going to get online or not after the place was shut down. Some wanted to try and save the chat room, so they made groups in which they stood up for the room. Although their efforts later would be futile. Some focused on finding places to meet again. Others decided to move on and were never heard from again.

Take all of this in for a moment...be serious about it. I understand that to practically everyone here from a point of view, you may think that its stupid. But realize that this place meant a lot to those people. I myself miss that place a lot, I find myself thinking about it quite often. Bandai reasoned that they closed it down because of hackers, these "hackers" made it possible to walk on walls and areas you cant normally get to.

So in memory of .hack//Chat I say one last time: "Let's meet again sometime, in that place we love to go. The Root town of Mac Anu!"

.... .hack//kyat....we miss you dearly

Oh, I can understand that all right. I've seen plenty of comments from people who'd feel like something had gone missing if this board (or entire site) was to ever close down. Considering how long it's been running, I share the feeling too.

Hello, you are probably wondering why I renamed the topics name. I renamed it because a good friend of mine and I are making this chat come back to life! We're going to give .hack//Kyat a rebirth. It wont have all of its features but we plan on making up for that by adding others that it didn't have :D.

My good friends' name is SC

SC is the administrator of the website that hosts it. This chat still doesn't have all of the users back that it once did but with your help it can. SC has been improving this fan site for the fraction of the total amount of original users that went to the actual .hack//Kyat so that they could feel at home again. It's not close to finished yet but hes still going for it. He decorates scenery with little objects depending on what holiday it is.

He's worked very hard, so I rarely got to speak with him. Recently he has been on and not AFK for once O.o but he does tend to disappear from time to time working on things. We were talking about the revival of Kyat and this is what we came up with.

I know none of you like using Internet explorer if you have the FireFox browser or something that's.....just not IE....So then we decided "Why not make something like a client for people to download, it'll take them right to this place and it wont be a browser or IE, it'll just be like any chat program really?"
I'm taking the role of making the client it's self :D, someones going to design an interface we haven't decided who yet. We will also add a part on the program that lets you chose different avatars so it's not a pain in the butt too. So will any of you be interested still if we made a client to download?

I think that a downloadable client might work well for some people. Not everyone wants to keep a browser running only to access a chatroom, especially if that browser is Internet Explorer. Besides, a dedicated client might be easier to use than web interface, especially if you can add some extra features.

Ultimately, I know that some people want to chat through an IRC access and nothing else, but you can't do much about that.

Oooh really? :D Im happy to hear that you think that this might help. I have made a test client for anyone to try. If...if you and everyone else is interested I will make one for this place too. But if I do, would you use it? I finally got that program I've wanted to make you that sticky pic I talked about in a PM a long time ago btw. I want to help your board get better as well as make kyat more popular.

I know it'd probably be childish doing something like this on my own but, if I can do something great like this I can finally feel like I did something meaningful for once.
