"In the year 2022, the Virtual reality Massive Multiplayer Online Role-Playing Game (VRMMORPG) Sword Art Online (SAO) is released. With the Nerve Gear, a VR Helmet that stimulates the user's five senses via their brain, players can experience and control their in-game characters with their minds. But an unexpected event occurs on November 6, 2022 when Akihiko Kayaba, the creator of SAO, prevents the players from logging out.
Akihiko issues them a challenge; if they wish to be free and log out of the game, they must reached the 100th floor of the game's tower and defeat the final boss. However, should their in-game characters die in the game, so will their bodies in the real world.
As the game's 10,000 players try to accept their new deadly predicament, Kirito, a skilled player who tested the beta version of the game, is determined to reach the 100th floor and be free. Along with Asuna, his partner and love interest, and their friends, Kirito and his allies will face many obstacles and discovers the true purpose of SAO. As their adventure continues, they will also participate in other VRMMO games as well." -Wikipedia
This was the novel that I've been reading lately. It's about to be made into an anime. You guys should give this novel a try first instead of waiting for the anime. It's very interesting. The novel can be found here.

Sounds pretty cool but at first I thought it was a game Haha.
-
Yeah, I should have put novel at the end of the topic. xD

Oh cool they're making a .hack anime?! Oh wait.... Lol I'll have to wait for the anime to stream, no money for books atm :(
-
It's actually free on from the link I just posted. You can just read them online. I personally think Sword Art Online story is more interesting than .hack.
-
I'll check it out

Wait, is this about a game, an anime or a novel? I don't get it, I'm afraid.
Or, are they different things?
-
It's a novel and it's about to be made into an anime.

Sounds a bit like the plot for 1/2 Prince (Novel / Manga) http://mangafox.me/manga/1_2_prince/

Oh man! I've read 1/2 Prince Novel. It's actually very good until near the end. It became more of a romance. Did you only read the manga or did you read the novel also?
-
I read the manga :D I'm not so fluent enough in Chinese to read the novel. But man, I love 1/2 Prince!
-
i also share ur feelings about 1/2 prince however sowrd art online the manga is rather popular and i do love the touch with the romance, HOWEVER ive seen episode 1 and ive got to say it is rather disapointing and not what i expected from sword art online

1/2 Prince is such a nice concept, been following it for a while. It takes a long time for new chapters to come out though :/
I'd like a game I could play while sleeping too ;_;
