Changes will commence. Please be patient with setbacks as we will try to make this as seamless as possible. For example if the page is acting up during the moment you view it, it shouldn't take longer than 10 minutes to be all in working order again.

Event Policy:
Notice for users who want to know our event policy; All events will last about 5-7 days after. Larger events including Tanabata it will simply last a total of a month.

System Specs Notice:
For future applications we release, Windows XP/2003/Vista/7 will be our focus. We no longer support Windows 95/98/ME/NT/2000. Metagate will continue working for some of these. Some of our newer apps may work with them, but not without a lot of updates such as service packs. So we are making no guarantee on legacy operating systems. A new application was being developed and it was found that on Windows 2000 it wouldn't work without it being very up to date.

What is Kyat?
A social networking site? Not quite! Use an avatar to wander in virtual worlds and interact with other users. Serviced by Va-sa-ra, the MetaGate software is an ActiveX control which is compatible only with Internet Explorer. Kyat Team has taken on the responsibility of reviving .hack//chat to it's former glory. One day .hack//chat will officially make it's debut once again. Until then we're here to serve you. Why deal with the user limits of other chats? In this chat, hundreds of users can simultaneously exist in the same map. Digitalize into your avatar and chat with other users from over 10 different countries. Free speech is one of the greatest traits of this chat, an environment with no word filtering and no idle timeout like your favorite MMOs have. Come see for yourselves the benefits of this community!

Compatible with:
Windows Me/2000/XP/Vista/7 with IE6+ (We recommend broadband as maps take a while for dial-up users. For users who cannot change avatars on Vista and 7, please consult another user on the chat.)

Further Reading:
Following the temporary closing of .hack//chat in May 2008, Kyat.us formed to create a similar Meta Gate based environment. Kyat is a chat service provided by Kyat.us (and serviced by va-sa-ra) which attempts to provide similar features to .hack//chat. Kyat is the nickname given by americans to .hack//chat, a Japanese chat which is based on the dothack series. The word "kyat" in itself is a mistranslation of the Japanese word for "chat" (chatto). The Japanese word for chat is romanized to sound like the english word "chat". A country in asia called Myanmar has currency known as Kyat (pronounced "chat") and the Japanese word for "Kyat" currency and "Chat" are the exact the same word. This is how the nickname came to be, but those who created the nickname from the bad machine translations weren't aware. Nevertheless, it caught on and is used to this day. The purpose of kyat.us was to have the shortest and easiest to remember address possible. The services provided goes by all the same traditions and guidelines of the original chat. Although we mostly cater to those who were former members, we encourage new members all the time.
