I don't think so. It was already formed when he joined, I think, since one of the side-stories mentioned that when Shiroe joined, a number of the other members were already in there (and Indicus bullied him as their newest member).

Ok so it looks like "Farming Bots" got pulled into the game. That's pretty interesting. What about server admins? Anti-cheating software, etc. What kind of impact they would have after the Apocalypse event? Would server admins have any power beyond that of other normal player characters?

Kinda wished the show would explore that a little bit. The introduction of a farming bot is a good start though. :P

I think Coppellia is in the game because she was an actual character controlled by a software. Anti-cheating software shouldn't exist because they don't have a host to inhabit.

Game Masters now, however, they could very well exist, since usually they have in-game avatars. We don't know for sure if they do in Elder Tale though.

Another question is what would have happened if someone was using a hacked client at the time of the apocalypse. Would they still have the hacking options in their user interface? This question is also relevant regarding Game Masters, since they should have godlike powers through their special client.

We already saw an example actually, but the anime decided to hastily skip over the details. (which made his lines incomprehensible riddles )
It may come up again later on.

It was in episode 12, if you want a clearer answer you should ask in the novel thread since it's a spoiler.

You know with farming bots gaining "sentinence", I could actually come up with a theory to it.

Maybe, just maybe, that the World-class magic that was used was that the birth of the Genius, whose data came from the 4th dimension (RL). However, it had wee short side-effect, which is, it copied all the memories of all players online at the time and copied them into the avatars in LH world, causing Apocalypse. Consequently, because of the massive influx of data from the 4th dimension, we started to see other kinds of data normally only following RL logic creeping into the LH world (like world increase, Over Skill, flavor text becoming real, "hacked avatars", etc. etc.)
