How did SAO players not realise that they couldn't log off in the beginning? (ani.social)

So, I've wondered why the SAO players only found out later in the day of launch that they couldn't log out.

It seemed strange to me, since there were thousands of players online, and not even one tried to log out just a bit early?

Were you able to log out in the beginning? Did players just brush it off?

If someone early on realized that they couldn't log out, surely word would spread, although, this wouldn't change much as they weren't able to communicate with the outside world, but maybe it would've caused panic earlier, instead of people spending the first few hours enjoying the game.

The panic just came a little later, but nobody ever talked about the logout button being missing until Kayaba gathered everyone and told them himself.

Most likely it's just suspense for the story, but it's just a random curiosity anyway
