«ALfheim Online» (アルヴヘイム・オンライン, Aruvuheimu onrain?), usually abbreviated as «ALO», is the VRMMORPG successor to «Sword Art Online». It is compatible with any version of the FullDive technology. The game features nine races of fairies, whose goal is to reach the top of the giant World Tree, in order to meet the Fairy King Oberon. It was said that Oberon would turn the first starting race to reach the top of the World Tree into the legendary race of ALFs, with the ability to fly for unlimited time, but this later proved to be a lie. After ALO is acquired by Ymir, after the events of the Fairy Dance arc, unlimited flight is now granted to all fairy races (though it is still impossible to fly in dungeons).
It is the setting for the Fairy Dance Arc of the series as well as the setting for Mother's Rosario, Calibur (and its alternate ending, Calibur SS) side stories. Instead of the level system that Sword Art Online emphasized, ALfheim Online pursues skill development and encourages killing other players. This kind of system tries to eliminate the enormous gap that exists on level-based games between new and old players.The system makes the player choose one of nine races of fairies for their avatar, each one with different abilities and affinities toward magic. Unlike Sword Art Online's system, the player apparently will have their game avatar set up randomly, the player just needs to input their Avatar name and select the race of the character, however, for an extra fee, players can reconstruct their characters to their liking. The gender of the player's avatar will be the same as the player in real life by default, and the player cannot change it no matter what.
The skills are developed by the player's own abilities and by repeating them over and over, so a new player with good skills can match a veteran player almost evenly in battle.
The game is famous for being the first game to allow the player to fly for real. It uses a flight engine to enable the player to fly. The flight system also focuses on the player's own ability. It has a "controlled flight" mode, in which the players make use of a controller to fly, at the cost of being able to use only one hand to fight, but, with enough experience and ability, the player is able to learn «Voluntary Flight» and, with it, can use both hands while flying and gains more maneuverability and speed.
