Only a handful of people, like Ethan, weren't wearing any cosmetic outfits.
And those players all had terrible gear—it was obvious they couldn't afford a cloak.
"What the hell... With all the outfits in the cosmetic shop, you all... you all just choose cloaks? What's the meaning of this?"
Standing at the auction house entrance, Ethan felt a profound sense of absurdity.
"Hey... look at that guy. Doesn't he look familiar?" a player suddenly said, stopping in his tracks.
His words drew the attention of others, who also halted.
"He does look familiar. Feel like I've seen him somewhere before!"
"The Druid God? Yeah, that's him! I saw him in that video on the official site."
"Everyone, get over here! There's a live one! A live Druid God!"
'Oh, great,' Ethan thought. 'I've been recognized. And what do you mean, 'a live one'?'
Just as the thought crossed his mind and he prepared to make a quick exit, a crowd of multi-colored cloaks swarmed around him.
