I was browsing through the terminology in writing my SAO fanfiction until I came across Hit Points and noticed "10 seconds until NerveGear fries the user's brain". Having finished the anime for the umpteenth time not too long ago, I realized that Asuna couldn't have been dead for only 10 seconds before Kirito depleted the rest of Heathcliff's HP.

Then I compared this information to the Remain Lights of ALO, which have a timer of approximately one minute (or two) before disappearing.

Since ALO is essentially a copy of Sword Art Online, wouldn't the «resurrection timer» be the same in both games? Thus, the true death in Sword Art Online wouldn't be ten seconds, but actually a minute?

PS: I'll leave Kawahara-sama a tweet about this.
