◖︎Alright, intr⛭︎ducti⛭︎n p⛭︎st. First time in a l⛭︎ng time I'm speaking t⛭︎ any⛭︎ne fr⛭︎m ⛭︎utside ⛭︎f Aincrad, s⛭︎ please bear with me! S⛭︎, ab⛭︎ut half a sweep ag⛭︎, a few th⛭︎usand tr⛭︎lls were trapped inside the VRMM⛭︎ Strife Art ⛭︎nline. We were t⛭︎ld that if y⛭︎u're culled in the game y⛭︎u're culled in real life, and that the ⛭︎nly way t⛭︎ escape was by reaching fl⛭︎⛭︎r ⛭︎ne hundred and beating the final b⛭︎ss. In a stunning display ⛭︎f c⛭︎⛭︎perati⛭︎n, we immediately - wh⛭︎ am I kidding, pe⛭︎ple started culling each⛭︎ther left and right. After a few blinks ⛭︎f that, things calmed d⛭︎wn, and we reached the status qu⛭︎. We're d⛭︎wn t⛭︎ ab⛭︎ut 6000 players n⛭︎w, and we've g⛭︎t an uneasy truce ⛭︎f mutual interest and shared survival. We're just ⛭︎ver halfway thr⛭︎ugh the game by n⛭︎w, and while pr⛭︎gress is sl⛭︎w it's definitely als⛭︎ steady. Recently, my guild disc⛭︎vered a h⛭︎le in the game's netc⛭︎de. We're able t⛭︎ jailbreak ⛭︎ur status menus and gain access t⛭︎... whatever this place is. I d⛭︎n't kn⛭︎w wh⛭︎ y⛭︎u all are, but a l⛭︎t ⛭︎f y⛭︎u seem t⛭︎ be stuck playing s⛭︎me kind ⛭︎f game t⛭︎⛭︎. My guild are a bunch ⛭︎f midgame players, currently m⛭︎pping up fl⛭︎⛭︎rs in the 40s. The rest ⛭︎f them are br⛭︎wsing t⛭︎⛭︎, but I'm the first ⛭︎f us t⛭︎ make an acc⛭︎unt. I'm sure y⛭︎u'll meet the rest ⛭︎f them eventually, if Argus d⛭︎esn't patch whatever bug we're expl⛭︎iting. And bef⛭︎re y⛭︎u ask: yes, we've tried t⛭︎ reach the ⛭︎utside w⛭︎rld. Wh⛭︎ever y⛭︎u all are, n⛭︎ne ⛭︎f y⛭︎u are ⛭︎n ⛭︎ur Alternia. It sucks, but really, it's just nice t⛭︎ be able t⛭︎ speak t⛭︎ ⛭︎ther pe⛭︎ple again. I really h⛭︎pe y⛭︎u'll enj⛭︎y my presence.◗︎ - QOTD: "sao players + (the pain experienced by helmstrolls daily / fraction) = lmao" - navicomp
