Well, there is an Alpha test in Tokyo from 03/18/2016 to 03/18/2016 for 218 players. We will see if it will be a good game or not. Anyway, they can cancel it if it's not good enough.
i would much rather see the world and style of Log Horizons elder tale online than Sword art onlines Aincrad hopefully they dont contact the LN creator about the world and instead focus on pure game design, oh god it would by clunky and unplayable if it played exactly like SAO
>>6 I don't know. The only info that we got is that it is using motion sensing of some sort. Also, they may be using 3d models of the alpha testers to use in game. Pretty high tech stuff.
