It’s way off—if it’s ever even going to be possible—but if a real-life copy or mimic of SAO, Aincrad, or a similar version finally did happen, realistically, would you actually enter it if the “if you die in game, you die in real life” factor was still at play?

You’re not trapped like in the original SAO, but the effect still exists—if you die in the game, you die in real life. Do you still go in, and how often?

I personally would still risk it. I’ve always found life boring and loved escapism and fantasy worlds. I’m not looking to die or anything, but I feel like I’d still have to risk it to experience a world like that.

Rules are you have to log in at least once a week to keep access and every time you log in you must stay logged in inside the game for at least 2 hours and you must be outside of the towns, safe zones for at least 5 minutes every log in.
