minimum age to play SAO is around 10/11 i think, so right now they're 12/13. and most people got scared knowing they would die, thus decide to just stay at town of beginning until the game ends

and yes, most people at town of beginning decide to just hide in their home most of the time since the army usually tries to extort some money from them(there are ways to gain some money without leaving the town, even if its small)

and the problem is...?

pretty sure he have a home, but not all that expensive as he didn't even have many furniture in it
basically just a place to stay after clearing the frontline

beware of weapon break, cannot repair anymore...

1st day already dead cause no internet in hospital, and of course lag with that many people playing at the same time, and then dc cause the people taking care of u is secretly torrenting pron

this is a really HUGE spoiler for the anime(its gonna happen on at least 5 more episodes) so open at your own risk
though u seriously shouldn't open it if u want to enjoy the anime


now i feel guilty for writing this...

lets just say its for attribute's sake
KOB uniform, even if it was high level, is just freshly made on the spot, so the attribute might not be as high as the one Kirito wears
keep in mind that the one Kirito wears is made from <<Ashley's>>, said to be Aincrad's number one tailor shop and one of the few shop that could handle high grade material like Black Dragon leather needed to make his <<Blackwyrm Coat>>(not to mention Ashley only take custom made order that interested her)

noticed how hard it is to make it?
i think its not that easy to make another one on the spot with the same amount of attributes without the need to collect all the rare materials first
hope that helps

here it is, though actually its only a small part in it, as its in a side stories when Kirito was talking to Lizbeth when he wants to enhance the Dark Repulsor
http://www.baka-tsuki.org/project/index.ph...Sound_of_Hammer

got any part u want me to spoil?

oh btw, it seems the anime didn't mention a bit of info from the light novel as to why the 75th floor boss is one hell of a boss

it seems like every quarter of the 100 floor, the boss of the floor(previously 25th and 50th) would just be out of balance, like super out of chart and will leave a huge amount of casualties

its probably a way of telling the players that the 100th floor boss is not something u really wished to fight

^more like Kirito vs Porky

thats why i really hoped for Sunrise to do SAO instead of Accel World
seriously, why would they picked that?

still, A-1 does the best they can managed and somehow i think this is the best of their quality for now, so just deal with it i guess

the only reason for people to not be too fond of this arc is probably the existence called Sugou Noboyuki, which is the textbook example of a person u wish to hit

its really hard to continue reading the novel whenever there's a part that he's in it(and u cant skip it either)

other reason i can think of is probably because not so many Asuna, or Kirito just doing his usual thing having girls fawn over him(not like its unusual) while his waifu is stuck somewhere getting ready to be raeped by the end of the week

for how long this arc gonna be, i'll say this is the last arc for this season of 25 episodes, so another 10 chapters

on a side note for people who didn't read the LN, that as to why Kirito can one-hit KO a veteran, Just as Egil said, ALO remove one of the most important thing in MMORPG(or rather, everything in the name of RPG), that is the level system. All battles depends on the personal athletic skill in real life(pretty ironic for people who went there to escape reality), meaning even a newbie like Kirito(lol) have a chance to win against a veteran(so no more imba like situation like unscratched when getting surrounded by PK-ers during Scilica-chan's chapter)

as for the one-hit KO, the damage system is based on a few things:
1) skill mastery
2) slash speed
3) weapon's rank
4)enemy's armor's rank

in the game, even if u raise your defensive skill, your HP wont raise all that much like in level system game, so a fair fight is ensues
as for Kirito, his weapon's rank is the lowest beginner class, while the enemy's armor rank is one of the highest(Salamander can use heavy armor, not to mention they're from the battle type)

so Kirito's damage is solely depends on his skill mastery and slash speed, and that speed plays the most important role resulting in really high damage output
still imba like hell if u ask me, having a battle freak who got trapped in a death game for 2 year enter a game where people's penalty for dying is reduced skill mastery

after SAO event, Argus company went bankrupt and Recto buy it, giving them all the possession of SAO related thing, then they make a copy of it and start manufacturing a new type of NerveGear, which is the AmuSphere, which is released along with ALO(if im not mistaken, around 6-12 month after SAO incident)

thats one way to put it
well, she can still be saved after, if he didn't mind (if u know what i mean )
