Virtual Reality Maplestory?

So, I watched an anime called "Sword Art Online," which is pretty much a VR game, but an MMO, too. So, I thought what would happen if Maplestory was like a VR MMO. You would control your own character and do anything that you can in Maple (drink pots, buff, use skills, talk, etc). But you can't logout and if you die, you die in the real world too. The reward for beating the game is 1 million dollars. The only way you can get out is to beat Cygnus.

So, basilers, would YOU play this game? If yes, then what job would you be? What would you do? Henehoe all day? Grind and try to beat it? Take note that you will be starting fresh with no money and no equips. Also take note that there is no time limit.

Me, I would rather not play this game, but if I do, I would be an Aran and grind till I can beat Cygnus.

ABSOLUTELY... NOT.
That seems very dangerous
Even if the prize is $1,000,000, its not worth risking your life o.o

Aside from the unproportional bodies, I think Maplestory would do okay if it were a VR game. Well, it'd be nice if they changed things around and made bosses look a bit more intimidating. I bet MMO VR gaming won't be around for another 10+ years >_>

Looks like we'd be going back to 20 man Zakum runs and it would take about 3 hrs.

Would it be possible for more than 1 of each hero to exist? I feel like we'd be sticking to the explorer classes and resistance

EDIT: Also if we all started at the same time, there would be ksing as snails every single day. It'd take months for everyone to leave the beginner areas

Shadowers and Dual Blades would be gods.

[quote=ominousnomad]Why do people act as if SAO is the first anime about a virtual reality MMO?[/quote]

I think they do it because it's one of the ones that are actually good I didn't find .hack all that great
