no more orange borders in fast travel menu

[Solvaring]

So I'm still in NG, just been taking my time, and I notice that I very rarely ever see orange highlights in my fast travel screen anymore. My soul memory is 4,593,447 is it getting too high for the NG category? I'm in the end game stuff but still want to do the three DLCs, crown of the iron, ivory, and sunken king stuff as well as other optional bosses like pilgrims of dark stuff before I advance to NG+. I'm also wondering if it is possible that I am softbanned. I haven't used any mods, I did attempt to use GeDoSaTo for a texture mod until I figured out it wasn't working due to incompatibility with DX11 so I deleted its files but I don't believe it ever took any kind of effect in my game. Also I just built a new computer and transferred my save file on a USB flash drive from my old computer to my new computer to continue playing but I've read of a lot of people doing that and the concensus seems to be that it is totally okay to do as long as you haven't modified or hacked your save file.

The orange lights mean people are getting invaded a lot in that area, if I remember correctly.

It means that a lot of players are gathered at one or more bonfires in that area.
Also if you have not yet done the DLC areas, then do not worry. After you have unlocked Frozen Eleum Loyce or the Sunken City then those will most definitly show you a orange border 80% of the time as most people gather in those areas.

The floor around the bonfire in the Grand Cathedral is light up like a Chrismas Tree and I'm the same SM. It's all about the DLCs.
