On November 6, 2022, the virtual reality gaming company ARGUS released a Virtual Reality MMORPG called SWORD ART ONLINE, as developed by KAYABA AKIHIKO. It was supposed to be a gamer's dream. Little did they know that the minute they logged into the game, they would be trapped until the players could defeat the game and finally log out. Ten thousand lives put on their NERVEGEAR. Only six thousand, one hundred and fourty-seven would live to see the game complete.

Welcome to LINK START, a VRMMORPG RP based off of the series SWORD ART ONLINE by REKI KAWAHARA. Link Start produces a lot of its material from the manga series SWORD ART ONLINE: PROGRESSIVE, which is a chronological rewrite of the original Sword Art Online story by Reki Kawahara himself. The goal of Link Start is to provide an interactive roleplaying experience, one that evolves with the forum, has a character-driven progression through the 100 floors and has as many things for the player to do as possible. For more information, click through the links at the top!

12.04.2016 Congratulations to Pax and Cool Guy, who took the mod names Nutmeg and Mint respectively. Give them a shout when you see them around the board!

11.27.2016 Happy Holidays, everyone! As you may have noticed, the skin has changed to reflect the change of seasons, and until the end of December, we have decided to put little Santa hats everywhere for the festive spirit of December. There is an incoming change of quests soon for the winter, as well as a contest and a raid coming up, so stay tuned. -- SALT

11.11.2016 We've had an amazing first week! We'd like to thank both our beta testers and our new players for such a rousing success. We're just ecstatic to have the site received so warmly! Our members have been busy little beavers this week, and as a result of all of your hard work- we've opened up the first floor labyrinth. The board has been open to the public, and you can read up on this more in the Patch Thread for this Patch. -- PEPPER

"Sometimes, the players would even disappear. Sometimes, they managed to make it back, but most didn't make it."
