 Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })"Elder Tale" is an established MMORPG set in a post-apocalyptic version of Earth where magic and fantasy have grown over the ruins of the previous world. On the day that a new expansion pack was scheduled to become active, every single player logged into the server suddenly found themselves within the world of Elder Tale. Most of the game functions are still active and "death" simply revives the player at their last home point. But in every other sense, the world is "real" and hundreds of thousands of players are now trapped in what used to be a game.With no indication of how or why this incident occurred, the players of Elder Tale must learn how to survive in this strange new world while they look for a way home.Though similar in premise to the well-established and well-known .hack and Sword Art Online franchises, Log Horizon is notable in several ways: it takes great care to explain the internal logic and mechanics of the game world, player death is treated as a relatively minor inconvenience, and it is very focused on the lifestyle aspects of the various characters as they all adjust to living in this strange space. The drama of dying in the game world doesn't exist, and so the plot can instead center on how they settle into their new lives in the game, which has a whole host of preexisting rules, laws, and societies to make things interesting.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })Log Horizon is written by Mamare Touno, who also created the Maoyu light novels. It has been adapted into a 2-season anime series which aired on NHK from October 2013 to March 2015. It can be watched legally on Crunchyroll, for people living in the following areas: UK, Ireland, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Latin America, Scandinavia, and the Netherlands. A third season was later announced in January 2020 with an October 2020 release, though it was later delayed to January 2021.Not surprisingly, the story has its own share of spinoffs:
