Taken from r/dothack-thought some of you might like it :)

Hey guys, just thought I'd share this here. Someone named Coldbird started a project to revive the dead .hack// MMO Fragment a few years ago, and he's finally made a breakthrough with it recently.
http://www.coldbird.net/fragment/
He has tools to set it up on both PS2 and PC. You can play offline or make a character online, and you can also host your own server. It's a little rough around the edges atm and it's a bit hard to setup, but once you get in game it's worth it just for the sake of playing .hack// with friends. Even if you can't get it working, he's going to continue working on it from what I can tell so maybe it's worth bookmarking for future reference. :)
Here are the tutorials you need to get it working:
Emulator Setup
Controller Setup
Network Profile Setup
Lobby Information
Optional - Server Setup
edit: There are some server problems today but they should be fixed before long. Also, he seems to want translators for the project, so if interested, please help out!
Curious as to if this will actually go anywhere. Sounds interesting enough.

I remember the community talking about trying to set this up after the shutdown in Japan. I'm surprised it actually came into fruition.

I worked with Coldbird a little bit a long while back. Working with him is actually where I got my username from.
My friend who was also working on this project with Coldbird told me about how he finished setting up Fragment. I am super excited and am wanting to play it so badly.

I'll take a look at it in my spare time. Hopefully he didn't pack/obfuscate his files.
Overall, it's a worthwhile project, but it might be very limited with what you can do with an emulator. Not quite sure at the moment though.

This is pretty dang cool, I'd never heard of this. Definitely gonna keep tabs on this and try it out soon. I've always wanted to play fragment, a shame it never came out in america.
