If this game was like SAO

[Averax]

Our 1000 Kirito's in game would save us.

I still wouldnt bother with main story roulette. Thats the real thing I'd die from. Non-skip cutsenes.

Bold of you to assume there are only 1000

[TheMightyMollusk]

I'd praise the Twelve that I'm not on a WoW PVP server anymore, because holy shit the massacres.

I never watched SoA, but do they ever go over the social/political ramifications of private company randomly killing citizens?

I imagine the government would have busted that in alpha/beta, lol.

iirc in the beta for SAO the game itself was pretty much a normal MMORPG (or VRMMORPG), and in it there were zones for PvP and naturally PKers showed up. When the game went 'live' and turned itself into the death game where the 10000 original players became trapped that's when things became interesting. Until the game went live there was no government interest per se (other than the VR tech iirc).

They do discuss the ramifications of PK, probably a bit on the superficial level, especially when a PK 'guild' named Laughing Coffin emerges as a threat. Actually I'm not sure how much they get into it in the anime, but I know they do examine PK in the various light novels. Hope that helps a bit.

FFXIV totally needs a skill like Enhance Armament

[RitsukoSonoda]

I would be that person that took all the loot from the boxes when nothing was looking then left them shut so others would work their way to it just to get the message "the chest is empty" >.>

Would probably be the source of a bunch of ghost stories hardly anyone would believe as well...

Living life as an adventurer whose only purpose is the eradication of marmot kind with extreme prejudice? Maybe befriend a White Mage whose party was recently wiped out by the fuzzy little demons?

Brilliant They could spam 'cure' a couple of times, then we could go back to where the levequests are handed out seeking more Marmot quests...not sure I could wear a metal lid all day long though.

I'm confident in anything except trials, palace of the dead, or anywhere with bees.

As for pk, I think people would be a bit more hesitant if they knew they where actually killing people, along with the fact that if they misjudge how strong someone is, they could also themselves actually die.

Thou this question has been asked before I shall contibute: 1st take a bit to get over I am stuck as my avi & a dif gender then join a academic arceholigist guild so I can trinker with technology all day while making use of my old main class MCH & find a way to combine every class I leveled into 1

I would always fear what others would be doing to the main "Plot" thou, be it positive or negative (I can bet there would be a few ppl wanting to kidnap main-cast NPC's... or kill them early)

If this game were like SAO it would have horrible writing and too much stupidity for me to care to keep living. It's honestly one of the worst anime, to bring that into FF14 would be a nightmare. But if we're talking about being locked in the game for some stupid reason, then I would avoid primal battles since they don't give any worthwhile reward and I'm already level and gear capped. I'm not going to risk my life on possible lag with no reward.
