Sorry, I realized how aggressive I was in my last comment. Working off of two hours of sleep isn't the greatest idea ever.

Mamare's really open-ended about the mechanics of the Elder Tale world. Yes, he fills in some things, but his general policy is that he'll adopt what gets suggested to him (hence all the fan fic characters that were adopted into canon). So if you want to boil things down to specific numbers or compare it to real-life MMOs, there's really no answer for you. Mamare's not trying to make a game here, he's using it as a setting and narrative device. There's nothing in the Log Horizon expanded universe&mdash;not even the TRPG or mobile RPG&mdash;that uses any system that we can reliably compare with to Elder Tale.
