Hello and welcome to .hack//Integral! We are a community that hosts and allows fans of the anime and players of the games to engage in a fictional written form of game playing as your own character that you will make in the world ironically called "The World" where other players like yourself build a story and gaming experience by acting out your character and interacting with other players as you would in any other online video game. Your character grows depending on your actions and role as well as is given a personality by the way you act out and interact with others, building your backgrounds here and now as this is your first time entering this new found world. Your motivation and participation will determine the fate of your character, the rewards you gain, to the people you meet and ally with or become mortal enemies with. There is no game over in this world, this game always goes on and on even when your not present, there are various other players throughout the real world online playing from different timezones creating a real time world in this world, The World online.

The name Integral is mostly a community or organization of users across the globe to participate, experience, or perhaps to learn more about the realm of dothack. Integral is not a working title within the published series or franchise. Integral does not make profits or sale over the series; however, Integral does ask its community to support the longevity of the site(s) through user donations to maintain the site server payments. These donations are strictly for monthly server bills, domain name renewals, and at times licenses for rights and use of site systems and software i.e. Invision Powered Board, to better withstand the community and the communities ability to comment, discuss, collaborate, participate, seek information, and further enjoy themselves and the series for what it is. Any individual or companies may choose to request a report of when and what amount our donations are provided and the invoices of our spendings.
As a reminder no staff members of Integral or the entity itself is under the employ of Cyberconnect2, Bandai-Namco Games, Bee-Train, Tokyopop, or any of the other publishers and developers to the franchise. We are an independent gaming community who wishes to express their devotion to the series and give back to the community who already has enjoyed or wishes to learn more about the series.
