    The Night Before Early Access

    A member of my company, Ceresletos, wrote this poem in our company forums. We thought it was so good we encouraged him to post it in these forums, but his character level was too low. So I'm going to do it for him. Enjoy!

    Twas the night before EA and all through the ranks
    Not a gamer was stiring except to play pranks.
    Our headsets all sat by our PC with care,
    to not wake our spouses when the servers were there.

    The gamers all nestled in gear in their beds
    While visions of Tonberries haunted their heads
    My wife with her earplugs and I in my mog cap
    I just settled in for a short power nap

    The Alarm by my bed arose such a clatter
    I thought my poor wife would hit me with a platter
    Away to my recliner I flew like a flash
    Smacking my shin and creating a gash

    The moon in Eorzea on the newly raised world
    Gave off a shine of a freshly shined pearl
    When what should to my wondering eyes should appear
    But some short bald dude in subligar gear

    With sword in my hand, so shiny an sharp
    Slaying poor mobs in my room that’s real dark
    More rapid than eagles the monsters they came
    I whistled, and shouted and taunted their names!

    You silly poor pixels I pondered with glee
    Did you not know that who you were facing was me
    I giggled away as I looted my fill
    Then cursed this dead mob, WHAT only 5 gil?¿?

    Walking away feeling quite great
    When suddenly a message “You’ve discovered a FATE”
    Steering my character towards the large crowd
    The sounds of the battle ever getting quite loud

    A couple of times my health started to wane
    A kindly White Mage helped to ease my poor pains
    Continuing to swing my sword left and right
    The battle soon ended; no thanks to my might

    Weary from battle I crawled to my bed
    “The aches and the pains” I wished I was dead
    I lay down my body broken and worn
    For tomorrow I wake in this Realm Reborn
