My understanding from the ALO arc was that the game data is from the server, but your stats and inventory is actually stored locally (or at least can be). That's how Yui was transferred to ALO, and how a player's stats pass to each game spawned from The Seed.

But local inventory might be only the NervGear, the newer model doesn't seem to have the local storage, or the brain-frying microwave emitters.
