Sword Art Online (light novel)
I would be:
Exbo said: Exbo is stuck in SAO. Level: 32. Dies 2 months in due to PK. Well darn. Anyway, it's not listed here, but I would be an Information Broker. I mean why not? I died 5 months after the game started at lvl 95.....SAO hax. |
| Being a solo player on the front lines would definitely be fun. My life is so boring. |
| It's a beta-tester! It's a cheater! NO, IT'S A BEATER! Yeah, I want to be a beater. With crafting skill maxed. (homemade weapons FTW) And killing players. A master smith beater PKer |
 |
| I'd level up a bit and stay a merchant until there was a way out of there. I'd rather not take the chance of dying in both worlds. |
| All in all end up as a merchant, it safest. I wouldn't have been a frontline leveler, but I would have been above the average leveling crowd, joining a party with some buddies or relax around leveling a lot at places I know is safe. I'm not into dying because I wanted to explore a dangerous place, I've done that a few times to many on this game: http://www.tibia.com Back when a death was annoying as @%#&!.. (Basically a death was 5-10 hours of work) So I guess I would have done what I did at that game in SAO aswell. Since what I usually died of was either disconnection (d/c). Or pks attacking in groups along with surprisingly strong monsters I didn't know existed at that location (because I forgot to check the games wikipedia) |

| Progression raiding is my game, front line it is. If there was professions, gonna have to max out tailoring if there is, and cooking. |

| I won't be able to keep up other at frontline, but I'll still continue leveling. I'm the type who hate to take risks, maybe I'll spend time leveling fighting safely against low level monsters then fight bosses when I'm more than guaranteed to survive. Join some nice guild or parties on the way to fight as a group. Usually I wouldn't want to lose EXP, but in SAO I wouldn't want to lose my life. |

| I'd argue a world like Aincrad is closer to an alternate version of reality than a game in that: 1) You cannot stop playing the game, though you can choose to suck (ie. never level/never get a job) 2) For many, playing the game is the only way to make money (unless you have someone do it for you) 3) Tangible penalties for being bad at the game (no money to buy luxuries) 4) Death is a possibility That said, I would probably do what I do IRL and try to find something I like to do and make money at it -- probably arena/organized PVP for the money. If I couldn't do that then I would follow the more conventional or secure routes of income like trading or grinding certain monsters. EDIT: I remember in a certain episode they had a player-run newspaper of some sort, I wouldn't mind trying my hand at covering a unique niche of life in Aincrad. Perhaps a weekly column on the latest strategies in arena PVP or doing a "Guild of the Week" style section. |

| I'd probably party 100% of the time since there is strength in numbers, if not that than I'll definitely be a merchant. |
| a solo leveler oh and i'd kill p'kers |

JavierR said: the people that are saying they want to be frontline solo players are dumb. How bad do you want to die? Most vote frontline because thats what they wish they could do. If the situation were real, however, much less than half of those would actually be a frontliner. |
 |
| The game itself doesn't seem all to challenging in terms of boss mechanics compared to some MMOs, so guilds with phat loots can probably deal with the pumped up numbers the bosses here have like in alot of asian MMOs, then the front line isn't too scary |
| I would probably have the swordsman skills like Kirito but with the drive like Asuna. But I would not do anything stupid like that guy who almost killed Kirito. I probably would have gone out with Liz. I would have joined the knights like Asuna or made my own guild. So a Frontline player so we can get the hell out of the game and go home. |

I voted for frontlines but I'd try to find a good guild that stays near the top, kind of like KoB? |
| To be honest I'm kind of an jerk >_> so I'd probably be a PK'er... yeah it would be considered killing real ppl but if its between me and someone else lol |

It's okay if you want to do frontline, but the people who think they're badass and want to do frontlines solo are retarded. Dude, it's obvious that they'd try to keep a solid safety margin and not just go berserker with a newbie equipment against a level 9999 boss. There's nothing wrong in soloing. If I were a soloer, I'd try to fight bosses only when I'm sure the risk isn't too high. Otherwise I'll just let the top guilds do the dirty job |

You die when you are killed... Yeah, this game sucks, it's much too unrealistic.. wait...bottosai-01 said: It's not between you and someone else, because nobody is after your life. Being PK means you actively go after innocent people so you can't try to justify it like that.yeah it would be considered killing real ppl but if its between me and someone else lol Well, I guess most people who voted PK just want to show off how badass they are. I would level up safely at first. Should I get the impression I am doing well enough, I might go for frontline player but that depends on the flow of the game. Usually I am not too fast with MMO'S (though, up til now that was because of my spare time... Don't have to worry about that when you are stuck in the game, I guess...) |
