In the Aincrad arc, yes, sadly the stakes are death in real life if they die in the game.
Not in every arc, but in the first one, for sure. Aincrad is no joke!
Absolutely! In the first arc of Sword Art Online, if your character bites the dust, so do you. Players' nerve gear fries their brains. Intense, right?
Nah, only true for the first game, Aincrad. Later arcs have different rules.
