Sword Art Online [Series]
AceHigh:
Guys, imagine this: Now they are awesome sword fighters with unique skills and all that, but what happens when they clear the game? They get back into their comatose body that haven't moved an inch for over 2 years. They will be lucky if they can even walk for the next few weeks in the real world.
Man that is going to suck! Worse than the worst hangover you could have. They should fuck in virtual world while they can still move around.

I have been thinking about that since the anime started. Muscle atrophy is a bitch.
Also havent been able to get it out of my head how they are going to find each other after lol and how far away some people could live from one another. On top of all that the financial strain taking care of those comatose people must be.

I've also thought about muscle atrophy a little bit before this, and the only thing I could think of is having the victims constantly subjected to muscle stimulation through weak electrical pulses.
Figuring out if/how that could work without damaging the nerve gear... well that's another issue entirely.
I wonder if atrophy can be prevented by just massaging the muscles? although that would be... tedious (and I imagine it wouldn't be nearly as effective).
Finding each-other shouldn't be too hard unless one of them has been lying about their real name... I'm sure there's a list somewhere in the real world that's effectively a roster of everyone who's become a victim of this game.
I can't see officials denying a request for information that could lead to some victims meeting each-other in real life (in fact I think they'd promote it. Having someone to talk to who knows what you've been through is nice when you need to recover mentally after a traumatic experience). Even if requests for information about other victims would normally be denied, I'm sure an exception could be made if someone does a little cross referencing and it's discovered that they both ask for the whereabouts of one another.
To be honest though, if this issue actually comes up and serves as an obstacle to them getting to meet each-other it will be slightly... irritating. This potential problem is so apparent even after just a few seconds of thinking about the aftermath of beating the game, that I will think they are mentally retarded if they don't come up with (or for some reason they can't think of) some way to remember/meet each-other in real life (assuming they beat the game of course and that the nerve gear doesn't fry their memories or some BS like that).
CappinHoff:
I think those that get really close in the game, will tell where they live. It would be only natural to do so. You spend 2 years together or been through some situations together. You'll be quick to want to meet that person.

You're lucky though because I've read the source material.
Seriously. Spoiler tags would be nice. This is a great story so far and i'd hate for it to be ruined for someone.

i accidentally read some serious spoilers on the nyaa ep10 comments im so sad, tho im going to read the novels anyway so I guess it really doesn't matter.
On the other topic of discussion, I imagine everyone is sitting in hospitals (tho how they were moved without disconnecting from their pc's and power sources is another question entirely, tho I imagine by 2022 when the game started battery tech will be nicely beyond what it is today. A decade ago a laptop that could last 10-12h on battery, or mp3 players the size of a quarter that run for days on one charge sounded impossible, and battery tech has lagged behind other tech advancements quite a bit).
Warning this contains info beyond where the anime is, do not read if you dont want to be spoiled as I unfortunately was!!
(click to show/hide)I cant wait till they re-awaken in the real world to see their condition and method of bodily sustenance, assuming they even talk about that.
