In season 2, episode 20, Asuna is disconnected from ALO by her mother because
she is late for dinner. Apparently, this isn't the first time she was late,
and her mother said so.

The world of SAO allows for an in-game AI-that's-classified-as-an-item/NPC
(Yui)to make phone calls, or players to do their homework. Clearly there are
extensions, apps, and 3rd party code available to run in ALO, kind of like
with WoW here in ~~The Matrix~~ reality.

Clocks and timers are usually very easy to program, and it wouldn't surprise
me if something as sophisticated as a VRMMO already had a rudimentary alarm
clock built in.

How/why did Asuna get blindsided by the time? Is it just a plotpoint meant for
the audience to relate to being so engrossed in the game that you lose track
of the time?

Why was Asuna late?


She totally could set an alarm. Back in the first episode of the series, Klein
had an alarm set up so he remembered to logout when his pizza arrived.

IMO, she didn't simply overstay because she was enjoying it so much, her
strained relationship with her family made her to WANT to be late on purpose,
so she didn't bother to set up an alarm or tell Yui to remind her about
dinner, but alas, we can only speculate about it since it wasn't revealed what
were Asuna's actual thoughts on that specific matter.
