Right now, you're one of the original players that were stuck in SAO starting today. What type of player do you honestly think you would have been? (ani.social)

What type of player do you honestly think you would have been if you were one of the original players trapped inside Aincrad?

A stay-in-town hoping it gets cleared?

A low-level player that was very safe but tried to grind a little?

A smith?

A PKer (who's the murderers out there?🤣)?

A front-line player-or at least try to be?

And would you have believed Kayaba at the start about the dying?

Also, guild or solo player?

I would have personally stayed a solo player for as long as possible-just too untrusting and wanting more freedom.

Later in the game though, I'd probably be forced to join one.

I would grind non-stop off fairly safe spawn points and not take too many risks going into unknown dungeons, etc. Boss fights I would probably participate in, but it would be a go-by-feel thing on each one.

And I'd have probably believed Kayaba-or at the very least, wouldn't be willing to test him being wrong.

(Don’t come in with the petty “no you wouldn’t” stuff to everyone that says they would fight—just because you wouldn’t doesn’t mean others wouldn’t.)

Shopkeeper of some sort. Why risk life and limb when I can make a virtual living through business.

I'd also still probably join a guild for protection and networking.

Like you, I wouldnt test Kayaba's theory unless I had nothing left to lose.
