I found an image of all my old units

Before the game was taken offline, I took screenshots of all my units and edited them together in photoshop. I was F2P and, while I took long breaks from the game, I always found myself coming back. I'm not a big fan of mobile games at all, bit this one had me HOOKED. I'm unbelievably appreciative that we can even still play it, but not having any progression makes the experience very shallow. I just wanted to share this because I never knew anyone that played the game and I miss it. I dont think I had anything crazy, but these were the units I earned. I just wish I archived all the weapons and stuff I got too.

Is the game that were revived still active?

I used to follow the game when the revival projects had just started and even installed the game. But then I changed phones and sort of forgets about the game.

Now with almost every SAO game in smartphone is out of service with the exception of SAO IF, I kinda misses playing SAO game on mobile.

Portrait 2D Games Like SAO:MD

I’ve been looking for games that are portrait like MD, I’ve been looking around and people are suggesting stuff like honkai impact but it’s landscape which is annoying

The Lastest Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag Update is Here With an Oshi no ko Collaboration and More! Read Body Text for More Info!

Greetings, players. I'm pleased to announce the release of our latest official update. Here's the exciting new content you can look forward to:

CHARACTERS:

[Idol Searching for Love] Ai Hoshino

Ai Hoshino from the popular anime and manga "Oshi no ko" makes her stunning debut in MD! She is a Dark-Elem Spear user with the weapon B-Komachi Idol Spear, armor B-Komachi Idol Dress, and accessory B-Komachi Idol Ribbon.

[Abyss of Twisted Fate] Eydis

Eydis is a special unit in collaboration with Mystery, the head of the SAO fangame "Abyss of Twisted Fate!" She is a Dark Sword user with the weapon Unlock Sacred Power Dark Slash Sword, and armor Unlock Sacred Power Abyss Knight's Armor.

[Across the Spider-Verse] Yuuki

This is a special Yuuki wearing Ghost Spider's outfit from Across the Spider-Verse! She is a Non-Elem. Dualblades user with the weapon Spider Blade x2.

EVENT:

"The Brightest Pop Star"

To commemorate this collaboration with Oshi no ko, we have a special Story Unlock Event. For the first time, you can watch the cutscenes of this story in-game. Please note that the event is located at the bottom of the event list. My apologies, we are working to fix this issue as soon as possible. Roboman's event filter is also an option to make finding the event less tedious, until we determine a fix.

MISCELLANEOUS:

Due to a request from one of our (now former) members of the project, the duo units (Asuna/Yuuki and Kirito/Eugeo) have been removed for the foreseeable future. Additionally, Maid Sinon has been restored to her original state. Furthermore, while we are working on a fix for both of these issues, Battle Against Glitch the Kobold Lord and Battle Against Glitch the Renegade are crashing. We will release a fix for this issue as soon as possible. Additionally, this update should include fixes if you were experiencing issues installing saomd7.apks.

My apologies for all issues with this update. Rest assured, my team is working to solve these issues.

As always, a huge thanks to KazutoOnline for his video, and all of our team members for making this update. I can also say that many of you will be looking forward to something a member of ours is working on that cannot be discussed further for the moment. However, you'll be hearing about it very soon. Let's just say that I can neither confirm nor deny it will impact the bahavior of a bot on this server.

Please, if you are interested in helping Project neXt out please do not hesitate to ask. Regardless, you can head to <#954952311212499004> to install the latest update. Players, I wish you the best of luck. With that, I bid you adieu.

About Project neXt

Project neXt is the organization dedicated to reviving games, including so far the SAO: Memory Defrag Revival Project and the Mega Man X DiVE: Derivative Works, with plans to expand to other games. Please do your best to support both projects. As the Mega Man X DiVE project is brand-new, it needs all the help it can get. Recently, the project managed to successfully restore content from the Devil May Cry collab in X DiVE's offline version, and plans to restore more content and create new content.

The Sword Art Online: Memory Defrag Revival Project is Proud to Announce Project neXt, a New Joint Initiative between Memory Defrag, Mega Man X DiVE: Derivative Works, and Any Future Revival Projects!

Greetings, players. I have an extra special announcement to make for you all today. Because of how important this announcement is, I decided I had to record a special speech for you all that you can view here. As I say in the video, I used software to distort my voice. I also am very inexperienced with doing anything like this in general, so expect there to be some errors not just in my presentation but in background noise and whatnot. I had to do this, however. The news is simply to great to leave it to text or others doing the talking for me. Linked above is a video from KazutoOnline covering the same information, which you can find here.

Whatever the case, I'm proud to announce the creation of Project neXt. We here at the Memory Defrag Revival Project will be partnering with the brand-new Mega Man X DiVE: Derivative Works project led by yeonseok and Void, a project for modding and eventually reviving Mega Man X DiVE, under the united name of "Project neXt." You can look forward to that name appearing on works for both games, as well as any other games we may add to Project neXt if the opportunity arises. I didn't say this in the speech, but the name comes from the idea that this is our next step, an expansion beyond just MD but to reviving any game we can.

Rest assured, work on MD will largely remain unchanged. The two projects will also be on separate servers for organization. You can find the Mega Man X DiVE: Derivative Works server here. Please look forward to many great things coming from Project neXt, both for Mega Man X DiVE and Memory Defrag on their own, and together, as well as for any other games we may add to the project. I should also note that at the time of recording this video, I was not informed that restoring collab content for X DiVE is subject to whether or not we'll be able to do so legally, however, if we're in the clear for that, we'll do it. I just did not know when recording that this wasn't something we could say for certain, and I apologize for that. It's similar to what we had to do for MD, where initially we couldn't make collab content available publicly.

Lastly, some time soon, though the date is to be determined, we will be hosting a meeting. This will include a Q&A with the devs of both project teams, and some discussion for the future in regards to certain aspects. I cannot detail what is coming for Memory Defrag just yet, but I will say that we are working on something that will change the course of the Memory Defrag Revival Project upon its completion. The Oshi no ko collaboration is also scheduled for this month, and we have many more updates planned I can't wait to have shared with you all. Also, Roboman will be releasing the beta for his character creator program soon, which you're all welcome to try out.

Players, it is because of you all, a truly endless list of people whether I know them or not, that this is all happening. None of us could have ever done any of this without your support. Truly, I owe everyone reading this, and many who aren't, a debt that can never come close to being repaid. I wish you all not only the best of luck, but the greatest successes you can achieve. With that, I bid you adieu. Until my next announcement, yes?

Return? (Sorta)

Big longshot, but would it be possible for the game to be playable again if a third party server was made for it? It's been done with a lot of games in the past with shut down servers making them playable for everyone again meaning it's not entirely out of the question for this.

Or maybe my hopes are too high. I miss Memory Defrag

Still feel bad for that #10 (sry not sry lol)

Nostalgia post: Just eeked out the #9 position for the extra goodies with 18 min left in the event. I always thought it was weird that the prizes didn't just include the "top 10" like normal rankings....

Is this game worth playing in 2023?

I stopped playing it a couple years ago when it started to get stale with constantly recycling events and basically not having many ways to earn currency anymore. Is there a more consistent stream of content again?

[SAO:MD x Oshi no Ko Fanmade Collab] Town of Beginning but it is more "culture"

(Ex-)member of Revival team here, so we are preparing contents for the next revival version update, and we need to hear your opinion about one of our ideas.

Since the next update is heavily focused on idol theme, we are planning to change the bgm song in the Town of Beginning to the one in this video. Let me know if you prefer the original town theme so that we will keep the old Town theme.

Thank you!
