| Inspired by topic "Your life in SAO" I thought that it would be nice to have some place where we could impersonate ourself in SAO world, after all what I love the most in Sword Art is that it was written in a style that is possible to happen in real life. Well it mostly wont happen in this or next year, but in 20 or 30 is quite possible. Just look at game graphic 15 years ago and now. I hardly believe that we will get something as good as FullDrive but something that would allow complete utilization at least our senses of view and hearing (others are pretty hard to implement without Matrix like technology :P) Without further delay I'll start : Most likely in SAO I'd try every single kind of weapon. To get feel of every one that there is. Main goal in mind is to create fighting style that would rely on using many weapon in one fight confusing enemy, and utilize the best of every weapon. IT comes mostly from my hoarding habit, aka "this thing will for sure be useful in the future", as well as hoping for Unlimited Blade Works skill in SAO (dreams) :D |
| i'd probably be a beast tamer but use a single or dual blades on the side :3 |

Kirito-Kirigaya said: As for me I would like to fight at the front lines while using dual blades and on free days from frontline fighting just soloing some dungeons alone to get some money and level up as much as possible, otherwise I would just take it easy and live in a quiet and less person swarmed place. I see what you did there... |

Kirito-Kirigaya said: What´s that supposed to mean? It is only my own way how I would live in SAO. If it resembles anything from the Anime or Light Novel then it is not my fault, that´s just how I would live if I were in SAO. i think its because of your name that its funny i've already answered this question before in the LN forum, ill just repeat: i would be a solo player, i would focus on two handed sword skills like katana and grind within the dungeons to level up as much as possible i will probably be focusing on STR and DEX stats, with a little more focus on DEX than STR, i will wear light equipment that focuses on mobility rather than defence i would sell the rare drops from the monsters i kill and make my money that way while also keeping the drops that look appealing, i will be saving up for a custom made katana and a custom made outfit, what i would like to wear is a black overcoat similar to kirito but with a hood, sorta like assassins creed, along with a side cape like ezio, if possible in the game i would also wear a mask, something like a hollow mask, i would build a pure black katana with blue decorations and a smaller wakizashi with a similar design. i would probably live as close as possible to wherever the frontlines are, on my free time i would mostly be questing or farming for rare materials, i will also go bounty hunting every now and then to give Pkers a run for their money, i will also be a player for hire that can do odd jobs such as body-guarding and finding out information my online ID would be Zero_Kamikaze or just Zero because thats my most common gaming name that my friends know me by |
 |
| easy live like how kirito does it relax and enjoy |
| I would be a tamer and use a bow, because i love hunter/ranger classes and it's probably the best for solo playing. I would focus on mobility, for dodging and kiting. And I would wear a black and red leather gear, coz it's the most badass color combination i know :P |
| i would probably join laughing coffin or any other pking guild |
 |
| I would be soloing on lowr levels and be a merchant on the higher levels.... |
 . |
| I would spend every single minute I dont rest, fighting solo on the front lines. Getting my level and gear up as fast as possible, trying to outlevel everyone. Selling stuff I dont need to save up lots of money for.. god knows what. I'd go for speed rather then strenght or armor, and a fast weapon over a heavy weapon. Prefer swords over any other weapon. I would not buy a house or anything, and rest in a inn everynight closest to where the current frontlines are. Couple years later: I would be overpowered and duel/kill everybody that looks at me with a wrong face! Stop progressing at floor 99 and have fun being overpowered the rest of my days. Also at this point I'd buy a castle or something huge. Also get a nice looking wife, and a army of maids to serve and clean the castle. |
| I would be a beast tamer cuz it seems fun. I would probably solo but wouldn't overexert myself trying to finish quickly so wouldn't join the lead group even if I could. I'd go after monsters that would drop rare practical items and ones which would sell for a lot of money until I earn enough to buy a good house and then just enough to get buy would be fine. |
   |
| Quite a bunch of individuals we have here are you all really so anty social, that you would go solo all the time? Rly ppl, Soling is not that easy, and funny as you might think. I would for sure try to get to some kind of middle size Guild, that would allowed me to be a bit more elastic with my sword skill (allowing for e.g multiple weapons skills) what would be unthinkable as a solo player(keep in mind that Kirito had only ONE skill that didn't contribute to his Survival). As well as its easier, and I'm not talking about fighting with monsters. But about your mental health. When there is someone on whom you can relay or who can relay on you it make living in this cage completely different. Yes there are bad side of getting attached to others, aka their death or (what might be much worst) their betrayal. But you are not left for your self most of the time. |
| soloing and owning all the monsters. |
| ^ not really anti-social, i just have more fun when im surrounded by monsters instead of a group of friends, i guess im just a battle freak that way i will have friends but i won't be partying regularly unless i/they need a hand taking down bosses or other players ill have friends at hand who are stronger or as strong that can back me up when i really need it and ill be there for them when they need me |
|
| First priority would be to get to a decent level. Second priority is to find a active guild. I prefer to play solo but if I must, I'm fine with parties. I can say I'm pretty anti-social when it comes to strangers in mmo's. Basically meaning, it's somewhat difficult for me to interact with people even online. I'm not one of those persons who personality heavily change in-game.I've never really mind helping people though, assuming they're not spamming me for help. @NecroMac, for your very first post, multiple weapons would not confuse a monster. Monsters in the game have a set AI they follow and your weapon of choice would probably have no change in it. Of course, PvP would be different but looking at the game itself, changing weapon in the middle of a fight would be... a bad choice. |
Nilinhow said: I would be a tamer and use a bow, because i love hunter/ranger classes and it's probably the best for solo playing. Err... There aren't bows in SAO... And I would do what I usually do in MMORPGs. That is to solo grind on safer, lower level monsters for a much longer time just cuz I don't want to die. I would try and use a one handed light sword. (Maybe a short sword) I would also use light armor and focus on DEX. I probably wouldn't be on the front lines unless it was necessary or something. Also I would probably spend some points on non-combat skills like smithing. I would stay solo until some guild wanted me to join them. I don't know why but I never make the first move in anything. Always reaction. So a pretty lonely life. XD |
Fan of the series? Check us out!  |
| my typical routine in getting started on an online game is: 1. do some research about the game, what is in it for me? 2. level fast 3. look for an active guild or i might end up solo o make my own guild 4. find reliable guildmates :) 5. enjoy the game... in cabal online, you will find me inside the dungeons (hunting rare items) or dancing around in the map :) PS: do some mapping or semi active in the frontliners.... I'll be doing much more of hunting and trading business though |
 |
| I'd rape and pillage to my heart's content, Silica would be first on my list. |

Of course, PvP would be different but looking at the game itself, changing weapon in the middle of a fight would be... a bad choice. Yes i'm quite aware that changing weapon while in fight would be pretty much impossible(without some kind of special Sword skill like Kirito Dual Blades). More like that i see heavy armored mob, i use armor penetrating weapon, for faster mobs i'd use lighter/faster weapons. Simply said: Using the most effective weapon for situation. |
| In every MMO that I'm interested in, I usually dive into it (no pun intended) with friends who are also interested. Thus, I would HOPE to play the game with them. In many other MMOs, however, I usually don't play enough and would fall behind. Thus, I usually soloed everything in almost every single MMO that I've played. This will obviously change though, with SAO. I would quickly try my best to get my friends together and work towards a goal. I know a certain individual who's usually very competitive and knows how to level pretty fast in most MMOs he plays so I think it would be vital to be with him. I personally would hope to be on the front lines because that's just how I am. Even if I knew it was a death game, I would want to do the best that I can. That's the spirit of MMO gamers. If none of my friends were trapped though, I would solo. I normally can approach anyone fairly easily but I have always hated being in debt to anyone. I would work hard so that I can help everyone else though. If I soloed, I know I probably would not be able to get to the point where I can be in the front lines. As far as using weapons, I'm not too sure. I probably would use a sword. Naturally, I would try every kind of weapon possible. Seeing that I have been in Tae Kwon Do for several years, I would probably want to go with some kind of martial art build if it was possible. If I can recall though, I don't think there was any which would be a little saddening. Not too sure how I would advance in the game, but I'm sure I'd try my best to get better and help out anyone I could in SAO. |
| I have a tendency to start solo, so the first few levels would be a bit hazardous, given the 'death' condition. But after a slow and steady start, I would build myself up to the point of self-sufficiency. I would probably wield a large two-handed broadsword that would allow me to make strong strikes and blocks, though at the cost of mobility, which would be hampered further with medium to heavy armor. (So I'll be able to give and take damage, but don't expect me to win any sprints) I'm not the one to rush to the top nor go for the limelight, so I probably wouldn't be on the front lines most of the time. After witnessing numerous player deaths, I would work to find like-minded individuals to create a small-to-medium sized guild. The purpose of the Guild would be to guide others through the paths paved by the front line crews. We'd also protect and escort regular players from difficult enemies and PKers as they ascend up the Floors for sufficient commission to maintain the guild. If needed, our Guild can also be contracted to support the front line forces by either acting like a police force to ward off uninvolved players and PKers, or to handle any mobs that may move on the front lines' flanks. |

| Level up fast, choose a suitable fighting style, find an active guild but mostly working alone tho I'd help guildmates and others if i can, find the best places to enjoy in and get the most expensive house in the game :O. |
 |
| I'd be a strong solo player like Kirito, and basically everyone'll love me XD Lol, jk...But yeah...I'd like to be pretty strong (: I wish a game like that would actually exist, but if it did, it would be pretty expensive .__. I don't think I'll be able to afford it to tell you the truth...I mean, do u guys know how bad the economy is right now? I hope this game exists in the future, except I don't wanna be stuck in the virtual world and have to fight to survive like in S.A.O. That would just be a horrifying experience for all of us! ;O Especially when you know that you might get killed by the monsters & etc! .-. |
 |
| If I would survive -> most likely I would join guild as in MMOs guild and interaction with players are one of most important aspects, second is thing to do with them. Still I would go solo sometimes to fell pro that I can do it. |

| Solo it like a boss. Think better than the situation at hand, keep calm... And buy a house then get married. After a few years, start solo-ing again. X] |
 |
| >Have a pet (anything cute) >One handed sword + shield >Focus on crafting >Equipment more important than level >Chill in a middle tier guild |
 |
| I would stay in the starting city and train for a while because I would be scared. I think I would go and search for someone who likes to team up. I would use a sword I think I would be to lazy to carry a schield with it xD I think I won't be able to focus on 1 skill so my skill data base would be random. I would try to get a pet and love to do quests. |
 |
| i would one handed sword (hate shields i find them annoying) train on the lower lvls a bit until strong then hit the front lines then make a guild with close friends i can trust and we do stuff together |

| If I were to be in SAO... I'd either use a battle scythe or a bastard sword. I'd only wear very light armor and probably dark clothes like Kirito, but not all black. I would also become a summoner and get a direwolf/high level wolf familiar to travel with At first I would solo through the game as I find it hard to trust others, but eventually I would probably try to make friends and establish a small guild. I would probably end up only training my combat skills in order to be able to become a PKK... Those who kill others need to be erased. |
 |
| PKing and do some sex :/ |
| I would be a Merchant/Blacksmith Not that i wouldn't be weak but i would contribute more through my skills. I would nearly never solo as i wouldn't wanna die. Hence being a Merchant and letting the front-liners do there thing. My battle would be the power of a thief quick one blade quick stab's. Then run away. I would also level my Listen/Hide skills. |
| It was not written in the stars that we be together. |
| I'd probably level up like crazy during beta testing, which I hopefully would get chosen for... I'd also want to find me a companion to finish quests and level up together with. (Yes, i'm quite lonely atm). |
 |
| Hmm I suppose I'll also help those around the middle and lower floors if they need the help |
| |
| I like to have the same class as kirito and would also play sol but when i want then i join a pary or party up with someone or if it must |
| Living in the world of death, fear feeds on my adrenaline. I would turn out to be an information broker as my way of life (like Argo). Soloing and getting information from the frontlines. Grinding my way to keep up the quota level (to me, that's fun even in death). Though, I'll often go below the halfway mark on my health so many times due to my fighting style of "martial art/hand-to-hand combat" user as my main offense with (dagger/one-hand sword as my sub weapon). That would worry and be inconvenient to everyone when I party with anyone; my main reason to avoid people. And a little extra (for the rp'ers as the comment briefly talked about) |

| unlock unique skill - tri blade |
| I'll probably wouldn't want to take too much risk and lvl up as hard as I could. And I think I would never want to fight against LVL boss, when I'm not sure, if I will kill him with ease. |
| 1) Select <Ethics Code Off> 2) Creep Seriously though... Weapon-wise, double-handed greatsword would be my way to go. Grind up XP on medium-to-low level monsters to ensure strength without taking exceptional risk. Enjoy the game and treat it as an alternate life away from reality. After all, that's what an MMO is. |
 |
| I would do anything to survive! I would join a guild and start some training, but i doubt i'll ever go to the front lines since death can come quickly. I would use a one handed sword with a shield, this way i can attack and defend at the same time. |
 |
| I would probably become a Paladin like Heathcliff, although I would throw away the shield. I'll be on the frontlines too and join KoB. |
 |
| Level up,unlock a unique skill and become a soloist.In hard times,I'd form a party and survive.Yeah,and I also want to cook yummy stuff (●´∀｀●) |

| I avoid battle as possible to survive and when i got a free time I will train to level up so that i can defend myself I would live the same as kirito a solo player. |
