We are a community spanning of various backgrounds from across the world with one common goal, expression. We as members have expressed ourselves and our cultures throughout the history of what was once known as Integral. It was an homage to gamers who shared the love over a videogame known as .hack//INFECTION and an anime series known as .hack//SIGN. To us it was the basis for the universal language of friendship and new experiences. Many of us spawned from watching these series searching for a better place to share such experiences and Integral was of such place. Since then literally thousands upon thousands of users registered to Integral and expressed their love of the series and ultimately grew and expressed other experiences and knowledge as well as skills. Most of us no longer are the children who were overcome by the originality of a videogame or an anime, we’ve worked together and welcomed ourselves into a large community in which some of us call family. Integrability the next generation which originated from this, is now the present. And with Integrability, the future waits for us all.

Our community allows you 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.

But the joys and kicks don’t just end there, we also have included a place where you can create your own role-play about any other series, share or start discussion on the gaming series .hack// or anything else for that matter, a chance to find those hard to find images of the series .hack//, tons of downloads relating to the series including fan made stuff, and much much more!

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.
