.hack//frägment is a multiplayer online game based on the fictional MMORPG portrayed in the .hack franchise. It was made as a joint project by Bandai and CyberConnect2. It was released in Japan on November 23, 2005. The online service for .hack//frägment was terminated at the end of November 2006, when the servers were taken offline. Bandai announced at E3 2006 that there will be no U.S. release for frägment. .hack//frägment's character design is extremely limited when compared to other MMO games. Players have a choice of name, the class of their character, one of five to... twelve premade bodies in large, medium, and small sizes, and several preset color schemes. Once the player has created their character, players may enter a lobby and search for up to two other players to join them on an adventure. The maximum party size in .hack//frägment is three, just like previous installments of the .hack video game series. The game includes an extended online interface that allows players to chat, send e-mail, post to an in-game Bulletin Board System, and receive server news updates.
