Doing this since 2006 (and no sign of stopping)

Sword Art Online

The plot

• Evil game designer creates virtual world Sword Art Online, and traps players. If player dies online, they die in real life. Players must clear 100 levels collectively.

New world comes online

But our heroine is still trapped…

Evil is defeated

Regulators shut down all existing virtual worlds…

But…

Users meet IRL to share the Seed

Seed is open source, minimal version of SAO, it spreads

Anyone can create their own virtual world, and migrate avatars!
