.Hack General E-mail Guide Copyright 2004 MeoTwister5 ------------------------- Table of Contents ------------------------- I. Introduction II. About E-mails III. .Hack//Infection E-mails IV. .Hack//Mutation E-mails V. .Hack//Outbreak E-mails VI. .Hack//Quarantine E-mails VII. Credits ----------------- Introduction ----------------- Despite its shortcomings, I find the .Hack games to be very fun. People criticize it for its bland graphics and repetitive combat. I for one agree with these, but its so much more than that. A very riveting and unique storyline with an excellent simulation of an MMORPG keps me playing this game. Heck it's got an E-mail system as well! Having said that, the e-mail system in itself does not have a gameplay-affecting impact, but its fun to see what you're teammates want to say. -------------------- About E-mails -------------------- From the main Altimit screen you can access your e-mails. Unlike real life though, you can't make your own e-mails. You're given 2 pre-set emails that you can use as your response. In majority of the cases, you need to send the right response in order to get a subsequent reply. You can then continue exchanging mail by sending the right replies until a certain point, which is about 4 e-mails per character. If you don't send the right one, you won't get a response. The e-mails you get are also dependant on your relations with that character, which can be seen in Ryu Book V. You'll need to get your relationship levels to certain point in order to get e-mails, as well as maxing their relationship points for a certain volume to get congratulatory e-mails for defeating the volume's final boss. For this FAQ, in order to prevent spoiling, I'll only be mentioning the e-mail headers for the replies. This FAQ will be divided per volume. And before you ask... No. You won't get e-mail chains from Elk or Mia until the end of Quarantine. ------------------------ >Hack//Infection ------------------------ A. BlackRose Reply 1: Well Sometimes...
