Merry Holidays and Happy Christmas

Dear Fellow Players


On behalf on Integral and the Sprite team I would like to announce the opening of the new sprite system known as Living Avatars, which can be access through your "My controls" panel. We have been working hard on these sprites for you, the player, and have decided to open them to the public as our Christmas gift to you.

We wish you all a happy holiday season, no matter what you celebrate, and hope you enjoy our little present to you. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to FM either Phera or Sora.


Thank you kindly for your time, and once again, happy holidays.


Sincerely

The Sprite Team.

Hello Everyone!

Effie here, just letting you know that starting tomorrow (the 21st) until the 29th we will be on vacation in Sunny California! Well it’s sunnier then where we are at right now. . .

Anyways during this time I’m afraid we won’t have much online time. What with visiting families and all. Including a few days without any net what so over. (I know scary huh?)

Sailor Jackie, Namine, and Sora will still be here in our absence. So try to behave for them lol.

Well kids, I think that's all for now. I wish you all the happiest of holidays. Remember this time isn’t about what religion you believe in, where you come from. It’s about spending time with those who are close to you, peace on earth, and goodwill to men. All that good stuff!

This is Effie saying have a good one.

Important Updates 12.17.07

First and foremost, I apologize for the unexpected server inaccessibility and troubles.

What had occurred was that I decided to remove Integral off my other domain making it singular, during the restore many errors had occurred because the HDD path was still being referenced in many areas of every part of Integral. This caused me to rebuild the forums from scratch, in a way. Though this was going to be inevitable as the forum software was out of date and I've been wanting to upgrade to the latest version for security issues but didn't was always busy or lazy to do it.

Majority of the data is still intact, the forums, accounts, posts, images, galleries, blogs, downloads, wiki, webring, website, etc... However many other features, mainly the ones attached to the forums, were not included in the rebuild. This has to do with the forum was rebuilt and they'll have to be re-added. However that they will take time, some may be discussed between higher staff members in regards should they be re-added or not. So don't expect too many of the old features to return but as you may know us, we tend to like to go overboard a few times.

This reset does not change anything. Everything planned and expected will continue and the day-to-day here will go as norm. With the holidays coming around, progress will be slow and more than likely jump at the beginning of the year. Expect many positive changes at the beginning of the year.

In the mean time, sit back and relax and enjoy the show! Do note there are some errors still roaming the board, site, wiki, webring. Aside the numerous gallery issues and the wiki not connecting to the forums user account database, please let us know over in the Support Forums. But please, do not make posts "what happened to" or "where is" and "(blank) is missing!" types of queries. We know, and as mentioned we'll be getting to the priorities first.

If for whatever reasons the site goes down again, please head on over to our blog (http://dothackintegral.blogspot.com) to see detailed notices or head into the chatroom (http://www.gamesurge.net/chat/integral) for up to the minute notices and support by our staff team and dedicated users.

Winter Updates!

After the slight inconvenience and maintenance of moving off Integral from the addon domain of Insyder Online, the entire site is now finally isolated onto it's own system on my dedicated server. However my theory has not addressed the domain issues, though with DNS, it could take anywhere from 24 hours to 72 hours to resolve world wide, which could mean there is still hope for some of us and myself who have been unable to access the site frequently.

Moving onto greater news, Integral has now started a Flickr group as seen here. If you have dothack images of any sort on your own Flickr account or have a Flickr account specifically of dothack images, feel free to join our group in order to bring other fans the convenience and usefulness of a dothack public gallery.

Our local Integral webcomic team plans to print out their first of many official Integral Webcomic series which is still undubbed.

So until then, be sure to check out the return of the message board, if you are expericing any issues, be sure to address a staff member over on our chatroom or email to myself.

Integral Downtime?

There has been many who have stated being unable to access Integral after the switch from shared host to dedicated server, one of which Integral has been an addon domain. And during the switchover, the DNS has caused some unexplained issues where worldwide regions are unable to access the site periodically, temporarily, and even permanently. During this what we hope to be a 24 to 72 hour delay, we are in the process of working out our dedicated server to move Integral from an addon server to the parent organization Insyder Online to it's very own system on the dedicated server. This process which requires removing the addon domain, creating a new system, transferring the core files of Integral to the newly created system, transferring the recent database of Integral, re-syncing the files and database to the new system, and finally awaiting the DNS to resolve itself worldwide which could take up to 24 to 72 hours.

We hope to better provide you all with a better and accessible service than before and this is just one of many small steps towards that goal. Be sure to check us out on our chatroom for up to the minute news at!

Integral on Blogger?

It has proven to a point some people have been unable to access the site for whatever reasons, ISP issues, firewalls issues, network security issues, and of course DNS issues in which we're looking into. But beyond that, many already have accounts on many widely used online blog applications such as Blogger and etc. We've decided to provide news and media to those who are already hooked in and connected on such great services who may even have this service connected on your hand held devices to always stay connected. Well welcome to .hack//Integral - Blogger! Where you can stay tuned to .hack//Integral from your own blogger account, RSS feed application, or mobile device.

What is Integral?

Since 2004, .hack//Integral is a site where fans can role-play as themselves in a text role-play with an rpg system character management and avatar selecting system, with a gallery over 500 dothack images, a dothack webring, a dothack merchandise shopping page, and dothack downloadables!

Our services also expand for your use to submit your very own dothack website, forum, blog, or chatroom site in our dothack webring. We even have started our very own dohack media wiki site, it may not be as extensive or complete as many others may be, but it does provide personal written information and data based on the series and will be gearing towards an interactive walkthroughs for the games.
