like a sword art online/ .hack rp?

[manapool1]

so hey guys I was forced into watching the sao show and noticed the lack of classes and really made me cringe. And with .hack which I bought a bunch of for cheap, I found the lack of actual skills used by the group was not something I enjoyed. They truly were 2 great taste, but my question is, would they taste great together? I know a big thing about sao was that there was no magic, but maybe we could increase the amount of weapons to include a wider verity or maybe if you want, magic can be a thing. I also think we should add a bit more set on the skills we learn. A lot of the moves in sword art online didn't have names, and they didn't technically use any at all. So what do you all say. A weird mix of the 2. Do it for me? PLEASE I"M SO DESPERATE.

It could be something out of the World Seed Kirito got.
If this turns into an actual RP, I'm definitely joining.
I'm at a lack of RPs right now ^^"

man I would love to help you out but I am not to good of a gms Right? but perhaps you could help me. See I am having a hard time with 3 thing on this one.

1. how every one got locked in the game
2. magic or not
3 how (if at all) will we do lvls

maybe you could help a brother out?

[Lightless]

Well, since you're the OP, it's really up to your final decision instead of mine lols.
But if it were up to me..
1. Depends, if you want an alternate reality SAO. I don't think people would be able to go through the same thing as they did with the original SAO.
2. Magic could create more of a variation of classes, and they go well with skills. But it defeats the whole purpose of "Sword Art Online". You can change the name if you want.
3. I think levels would be a good idea in this sort of thing. They can make it easy to differentiate new players and the more experienced. It'll be easier for the ones with a good grasp on the game to level, so yeah.

ok so I am thinking that magic will be refined to a choice amount of scrolls and one specials, that will be only equitable once to one person, and usually rare drops. Levels will be hard to do as I will need to set a level on most of the common monsters and how the amount you need to level up will increase, but I have a lot of time so that's all fine and dandy. Still how ever the people get trapped. I was thinking either the internet goes out at the place running the game causing everyone to be trapped in the game. But that leaves me with the questions :couldn't they just wait it out" How do people have to worry about dying? or can't they just reopen the servers to get people out?

My second Idea is hackers taking over, who happen to want the same as what's his face from sword art online. But my problem there is that they would have no way of getting to the nerve gear (or what ever I'll call it) to kill people.

Like, it could be so that in another universe (that we'll be RPing in), the SAO we know and love doesn't exist. Kirito and the rest aren't there, except for Kayaba and his plan to start a massacre.

[manapool1]

oh ok... smart smart. OK that's great. Want to try to start?

[Lightless]

I'm fine with you starting the OOC, though you can always wait for more people to show interest in this beforehand. Shrug.

[Drakeonis]

I'd be interested in something like this. Could I make a beast tamer class?

of course that'd be just peachy, the more diverse the better okay?

I say get like atleast 2 more buddies okay?

INTEREST STREAM IS FLOWING IN!
I am interested in this :3 loved the show and the ideas behind it, the idea of massive game worlds always interests me.

Count me in~

[manapool1]

awesome we need say 2 more people

[manapool1]

now I am just ganna need help mapping out the the extra skills we can have (fishing, cooking, smiting, ect.) And, ug naming a 100 floors

[manapool1]

actually I think I might start it now, maybe kinda possibly

[Lightless]

Four people is good enough to start out with. We can just wait for other peeps to hop in on the OOC.
BTW, you don't need to name ALL the floors ^^" I doubt we'll be able to go through all 100 of them anyways, and we can always just reference them by their number, unless you really want an RPG-like RP.
