Often people think of the ALTIMIT desktop from the first generation they think The World, Mailer, News, Accessory, Audio, and Data. But in the anime's they do show additional apps, programs, icons or whatever on the left. In the OVA .hack//LIMINALITY we get to see an icon for a chat program called Chat Client Ver. 5.0 This icon with the rings spinning is also seen in the anime .hack//Legend of the Twilight between Audio and Data icons.

On the title screen for .hack//fragment, if you press and hold the trigger buttons L2 and R2 at the same time and while holding those two triggers, tap and hold R1 on the controller; you will see a random series of 4 digits down by the copyright dates on the bottom left. These numbers don't seem to be progressive or sequential. Unsure what they mean, this was brought to our attention by u/Zodiark_Amano on Reddit.

In the past we saw many attempts of a fan .hack game with 2D and 3D games, most were online, but more importantly trying to capture that feeling of The World en masse. Unfortunately time, upkeep, and drama dwindled down those projects and games and all we have are memories. But anyone with motivation, time, and a goal can make their own .hack game in many formats from: text adventure, visual novels, 2D game, 2D online game, 3D game, and 3D online game. I'm leaving this topic open for the discussion for people interested in attempting at a .hack game, to show off their progress on either a standalone or game/server client based on The World. If you have a game in the works, let us know your progress. If you need help, seek peer-to-peer support here, or if you need a team, pitch your idea on our discord server to find your team.

Basically, go for it!, but don't tell us. 😉 And BandaiNamco's statement. https://www.bandainamcoent.com/legal/community-events/content-creator-guidelines Basically non-profits are good, better if you don't copy/paste textures, models, or art directly from them. Go forth and good luck!
