Greetings players! Happy New Year and here are your SAO news! Since the last email we had 230 registered players, now we have 430 registered players. In just under one month's time we grew 200 new players and 0 spambot accounts!

You may have noticed a few SAO characters randomly online, but you were unable to view their profile. That's because we renamed the webcrawlers like Google, Facebook, Yahoo, etc.. to have the names of the well known SAO cast and members you all know and love. To better immerse yourself in the world but to also do something with the names that nobody is allowed to use.

Speaking of which, monsters are also potentially able to popup time to time in the same manner, but unlike known players, they will appear red instead of green. Which brings us to the next bit of updates. Previously only staff members had their names colored to separate them from players. However as you know the whole SAO-RPG site is built for immersion, and aside Akihiko who was the only staff in-game, so too does our staff appear as players in the game. Now names are colored based on Players, Player Killers, and Monsters. Players will appear green, player killers will appear orange, and monsters will appear red. As of right now, we have 5 player killers; Ryujin, Ruby, Nightshade, Zelrius, and Zauis.

Also a new section was created for you to role-play in non-Sword Art Online and non-SAO-RPG roleplays. Here you can create whatever kind of role-play you wish, however keep in mind staff is not responsible for conductivity of the users in your role-plays, except where it goes against our community site rules.

Every Sunday we at SAO-RPG gather on Skype and host a call for everyone to participate and be themselves, discussing their characters, the RP, and everyday shenanigans. We like to invite you to our Skype chat group where you may text with us on a daily basis from your computer, mobile phone, gaming device, or wherever Skype is accepted. But also optional, join us during our call on Sundays (times posted in the topic).

And the last bit of news, the publishers of the SAO series had released a brand new recap episode of SAO season 1 with some new footage in between of Kirito visiting the school counselor and the girls practicing swimming at the school's pool. What this was actually led into the announcement of SAO season 2. In addition, a new SAO videogame was announced called Hallow Fragment. Be sure to check out our site for more information and trailers and links to videos.
