Third Life - Interest Check

Is anybody interested in a game based on this idea?
It is the year 2025 and humanity's favourite MMORPG has managed to capture 25% of the world population. There are offices, stores and even banks within this digital universe. Some people don't even logout for months since the VR capsules nourish the user's body regularly. There are only two limits to this World-changing game, the Violence Limit and the Reality Limit. "Third Life" allows any gamer to create environments, change certain rules of physics within them or even change certain traits of one's character. The Violence Limit logs any two persons out that commit an act of violence and also bans a multiple-times culprit. One day, a huge surprise update changes the world of Third Life by disrupting one of it's two most vital pilars. All Users lose the ability to log off permanently and recieve a message.

"Welcome to the New Third Life.
If you wish to survive in this place, feel free to use any instruments at your disposal.
-The God of the New Third Life.
PS: If you die inside of the game, you die in real life too."

Now most of the NTL'S cities have become warzones. Hundreds are dying every day. Most of the VR World's infrastructure has collapsed and intact technology has become hard to come by in this digital world (ironically)
You may or may not be a regular TL user, but you've been trapped inside the machinery of the game and can't come out without either dying or solving the mystery behind the chaos.
In order to survive, people clutch to digital legends about the game:
"During the beginnings of the game, Third Life, wasn't supposed to be violence free. The idea was to create the ultimate Combat simulator.
Therefor, they hired the minds behind all the biggest MMORPGs to create it. After a while they discovered most testers suffered from extreme mental stress after dying inside of the game.
It was like if the brain had been programmed to just turn off and die. The soul-less publishing company (Let's call it AE) paid the tester's families for their silence and created the violence limit while at the same time hiding most RPG-like elements within the game. Still, some people believe there are Backdoors, backdoors hiding the power to take this reality back and save this world before it collapses, forever.

Edit: I'm well-aware I posted this in the wrong forum. Already summoning a moderator ;)
