Well since the World Seed is canon and it's stated that there were many VRMMOs created after it's release, I don't see why not.. But just be careful not to take it too far. Your VRMMO cannot affect the canon ones, for example, being linked together like SAO became to ALO. Nor should your VRMMO be 'better' than the canon ones, as they are and should continue to be the biggest, best and most popular VRMMOS on the market. Also, if you choose to base your VRMMO and your characters around a single source of inspiration, let's say World of Warcraft, you would need to make it different enough from WoW for it to not be considered plagiarism (as with all things on this wiki taken from other material).

As long as it is understood that the canon material cannot be compromised, I think it will add an exciting new facet to SAOFanon, and I look forward to seeing what you have in mind!
