sentience said: This series made me miss MMORPG role-playing so much I wish there would be an MMORPG spin-off from this game. The class system seems so interesting to play around with. Agree. ^^ Unfortunately, it probably couldn't match the anime.
_DoctorWho_ said: How come no one has ever thought about it before? i mean, apperently lots of guilds have the money for it It looks like 5 million gold is considered a LOT of money in Elder Tale, to the point that only the largest merchant guilds could bankroll Shiroe's venture. Purchasing the guild building might not have looked profitable, unless they wanted to be tyrants and tax the hell out of players just to use the bank. x.x
Since they've only been in Elder Tale for a few weeks (I think), it's still plausible to me that Shiroe could be the first to buy the guild building. Imagine if such a powerful asset were to fall into the wrong hands though. X.X

In the scene with the two siblings, I'm interested in the mechanics of banning people from the guild hall. As soon as Schreider of the Hamelin guild was added to the blacklist, he instantly was transported outside the building.
They blatantly said you can't access your bank account, but now I also assume anyone that exits their guild hall & is on the ban list will even lose access to their guild hall completely.... How can Schreider re-enter his guild hall if he can't enter the main building?
If someone is in their guild hall & their name is added to the black list, do they get instantly booted or get booted once they leave their guild hall?
Does Shinroe have the only access level needed to make changes or can he delegate different levels? When Akatsuki / "Shrimp" is using telepathy with Shinroe to give Schreider's name, it lays the context that ONLY Shinroe can make changes.. I'd still like a simple clarification either way. It looks to me like Shiroe owns the guild -building-, but not the individual guild -halls-. That is, he owns the corridors, but not the rooms. (Quirky Real Estate rules I guess. O.o)
The members of Hamelin that were already blacklisted weren't able to open the door to the guild building's corridors, hence, it appears they are trapped in their guild hall. I assume they can escape by suicide - then they'll end up at the cathedral.
As for the member of Hamelin ("Shredder") who was in the corridor at the time he was blacklisted, he got teleported outside immediately.
Since Hamelin's guild hall is inside the guild building, it looks like Hamelin will be unable to use their guild hall.
Also, yes, looks like only Shiroe can edit the blacklist.
...that's my interpretation of the access system.
About Tohya and Minori:
Their backstory reminds me of a similar case in Angel Beats. However, in Log Horizon, it's treated as such a minor backstory that it's not much of a tearjerker for me. I guess it would have been nice to give their backstory more focus. O.o
About Naotsugu:
How did Naotsugu intercept Shredder just outside the guild building when Naotsugu was meant to rendevous with anyone ending up at the Cathedral? Did I miss something, or is this just a minor inconsistency?
About Kannagi:
Anyone know if this character will make a major appearance in the anime: http://lh.oksub.me/images/thumb/d/d9/Kannagi_cutout.png/150px-Kannagi_cutout.png ? Just noticed them in the background of the round table meeting.
About Shiroe:
While it's interesting to see Shiroe masterminding complex plans, I think it could get boring unless we see some flaws from Shiroe. I'm not counting the "villainous" reputation as a flaw... yet. O.o
Lelouch was a brilliant tactician, but there was one time when he was cornered by the enemy commander's tactics and CC had to bail him out.
Shiroe also reminds me of Keima from TWGOK. While Keima is a brilliant strategist, his rejection of real life as just a shitty game is kinda funny. ^^ Also, it was interesting to see him feeling defeated when his strategy to win over one of the girls appeared to have failed. |
