Everyone loves the first day of a new mmo, right? New story, new classes, new friends. It’s a day full of potential and hope, before all the dreary depressions of reality show up to ruin all the fun.I like the first day of new world for a different reason, though. You see, I have a sort of power. When I look at people, I can…sense a sort of aura around them. A colored outline based on how long that person has to play. Most everyone I meet around my lvl is surrounded by a solid green hue, which means they have plenty of time left.A fair amount of them have a yellow-orangish tinge to their auras, which tends to mean a disconnect or some other tragedy. Anything that takes people “before their time” as they say.The real fun is when the auras venture into the red end of the spectrum, though. Every now and again I’ll see someone who’s basically a walking stoplight. Those are the ones who gets long que or completely gets locked out of new world like a ban but without a ban. It’s such a rush to see them and know their time is numbered.With that in mind, I always get to my computer very early so I can scout out this lost souls fates. The first kid who logged in was basically radiating red. I chuckled to myself. Too damn bad, bro. But as people kept logging in, they all had the same intense glow. I finally caught a glimpse of my rose-tinted reflection in the window, but I was too stunned to move.
