"Sword Art Online" is the name of VRMMORPG (Virtual Reality Massively Multiplayer Online Role-playing Game) which Kirito and other characters in the stories play.
What is VRMMORPG? Players can dive into virtual world by wearing a special device named "Nerve Gear" on their head, and they can fight against monsters, explore various dungeon, talk with other players or even just live there. The difference between VRMMORPG and just MMORPG is only whether players actually dive into virtual world or not. (Of course, VRMMORPG doesn't exist in real world in fact.)
However, "Sword Art Online" is not just VRMMORPG.
What is the difference?
In the world of "Sword Art Online", players will actually die in real world when they die in the virtual world. You can't believe that, can you? But it's surely truth.
In the beginning of the stories, Kirito, who was absorbed in various kinds of game, started to play Sword Art Online.
He used to be a player of the beta version of "Sword Art Online" who was called "beta tester", so he was already familiar with the game.
However, the beta version was normal VRMMORPG. In other words, it was not a death game like official version thereof.
