Well that sounds awful, and certainly like a good source of paranoia and anxiety. Would a human like me be deleted in such an event or how does that even work?

@GalaxyRaider

No, while there were once problems like that in the past, you'll just get kicked out into the real world. If it happened to me, I'd be stuck sitting in an empty void until I left the cyberworld. Most navis aren't concerned because they can easily be restored; plus, your odds of being deleted by a virus are much higher than being deleted by a device failure.

... Would your entire world be destroyed, theoretically, by a server crash of any kind? Do people die from that kind of thing?

@GalaxyRaider

If our server crashed, this world would disappear during the downtime. We have backups and the system should be able to restore itself, but if someone went into our server room and trashed it, and we couldn't get our backups, we'd lose it all. And navis have been deleted by being in the wrong place in the wrong time, but only if what they're running on locally is busted.

Perks of buying a home on the net.

@GalaxyRaider

In a way. We have a private server in the real world running this place.

Assuming I could get here independently.

@GalaxyRaider

It is a bit of an assumption.

I’d imagine that’s common. Busy people.

@GalaxyRaider

Here and there, but we do treat it as our home base. So if you need to get in touch with us at any time, one of us will come by before too long.

Your place? Like, your family? Wow.

@GalaxyRaider

The one and only official X family household. Nobody's home right now though.

<Snipped quote by Host>

Nah, it’s fine. I understand why people still think that, given recent history.

@GalaxyRaider

I hope you two can find enough common ground.

Hm? Nothing. Anymore, anyways. I’m sure everyone knows about that ordeal anyway. I just like callig him names, and I do it all the time. Even to him.

@GalaxyRaider

I see. Sorry, didn't mean to make it weird.

Guess it’s not in my coding. Definitely not thanks to Dad, the old fart.

@GalaxyRaider

I'm a bit confused. What is straining your relationship with your father?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Host>

I suppose we have that in common, huh?

@GalaxyRaider

I guess, but the difference is that combat doesn't bother me, while you hate it. Tempo and I bust viruses together to pass the time.
