* LevelLockedLoot: Gear in [[TheMetaverse the OASIS]] often has a minimum avatar level requirement in order to use it. One guy calls IOI's tech support line because a sword he bought in an auction isn't working, only for it to be pointed out to him that the minimum level required to wield the sword is ten and the guy is only level seven.

* BottomlessMagazines: A new cup Firearms in the OASIS never run out of bullets, as more ammo gets teleported in when Wade's gun runs out of ammo but into the cost gets added weapons whenever necessary. It's still necessary to be mindful of how many shots one's taken, however, as there's a monthly bullet bill.bill on ammunition that can get expensive quickly.

* CosyCatastrophe: The setting wavers between this and a CrapsackWorld. While poverty is rampant and the society is dependent on OASIS, commerce is still booming, the world itself seems relatively safe despite talks of the bombs having been dropped, and if you're decently well-off (something which Wade becomes fairly quickly in the book) it's quite nice, really. After all, a post-apocalyptic setting where people can get a real-life pizza delivered to you within minutes by going to a pizza parlor in a video game can't be that bad.
