Moon Tree (月の樹) is a guild of pacifists, promoting harmony and peace in The World R:2. It is composed of around 1,000 members who are devoted to restoring The World R:2 from its corrupt, PK-ridden state to the prominent The World of the past. Moon Tree is the greatest opposing force to Kestrel. Members are generally forbidden to PK or PKK unless they themselves are attacked, or if they are fighting in the Arena.

[edit] Notable Members
[edit] @Home
Moon Tree's @Home is an entire field, located at Δ Setting Eternity's Night Moon. It heavily resembles a Japanese palace in permanent night. Moon Tree's @Home also uses a transportation system similar to a regular field's warp points to reach the inner sanctum where the Seven Counsel meets. This feature comes in handy seeing as players would have to otherwise navigate a multilevel dungeon to reach it.
[edit] Grunty
Moon Tree's Grunty is Melo Grunty.
[edit] History
[edit] .hack//GnU
[edit] .hack//G.U. Games
Moon Tree is first Mentioned by Sakaki, and apparently, had only recently began to gain true prominence, as Haseo apparently had not previously heard of it.
He and apparently several other players had a pronounced distaste towards the guild, seeing it as borderline religious.
Its philosophy is notwithstanding, the guild had more then a bit of diversity, including rebels like Matsu, as well as the pacifistic Atoli, Idealistic Zelkova and (seemingly) noble Sakaki.
Near the end of Reminisce, because of Atoli's mirage ability, which is currently infected by AIDA, Moon Tree's @HOME became another AIDA server. At that time, players outside the area weren't able to access the @HOME using Chaos Gates, and all warp points inside the area became unusable. Because of AIDA's effect, all the players inside the area went berserk and fights each other. Haseo, trying to save Atoli, uses the sign at Sugar Mansion Sif Berg to get inside the area and went through a multilevel dungeon to reach Atoli. Before he entered the room with Atoli in it, Haseo went through a school hallway, where there are some shadow-looking people walking through. After finding AIDA-Infected Atoli, together with Sakaki, Haseo was shown a view of Atoli's real life situation, and fought Innis, the avatar of Atoli. After Innis was defeated, the area returns to normal, but a short while later is closed because they illegally modify their area.
By the beginning of Redemption the guild had started to collapse, its unclear if it will rebuild, but an email from Zelkova says it served its purpose, yet Kaede still insists she will try to rebuild.
A note a essential theme built into the guild seems to be... its agreed by most who don't want to involve themselves in PvP , theirs way too many PK's on the world, but Moon Tree is both excessively preachy, and while less blatantly militant, can at times be almost as heavy handed as the long defunct Crimson Knights, and like them, their leader eventually nearly abandons them.
[edit] Trivia
- Most members and all leaders of Moon Tree are named after trees.
- The name "Moon Tree" ("Tsuki no Ki" in the Japanese version) is a pun off of Zelkova's name. Before changing his name to Keyaki, Zelkova went by the name Tsukinoki, which is another word for the same tree. The name of his guild, Moon Tree ("Tsuki no Ki" in Japanese), is a pun off of this, but impossible to capture in the English language version of the game.
- All Moon Tree captains have similar diamond-shaped designs on their characters' outfits.
