Well in that case mucho kudos at AI for noticing the periodic changes...

I watched the anim fairly puzzled at any possible meaning.. I do hope AI are not investing all this time and effort for nothing... regardless, their efforts show a remarkable interest in the game even at this early stage, so derserve every commendation..

Its not really any different than deliberating about features of MO on the forums. Researching them is the next best thing.

adrala · 5th February 2009, 21:10

Great work guys! Gratz!
This speaks a lot about the kind of a guild AI is

My personal opinion is that the background sequance ilustrates pass of time. If you remember in "pitchblack" movie similar device was found on the planet. It was showing the planets movemount. Once all the planets aligned in certain order they trigered the sun eclipse and the revival of the nasty aliens.
Maybe once the plantes align in the corect order game world will take live with first beta testers

Synod · 5th February 2009, 21:21

Cool find. Also, I just realized that 80% of the users here are in AI, 15% aren't in a guild and 5% are in a different one

(slight exaggeration, maybe)

You know... that's a good point. Maybe they are just giving us something to do before they announce it?

So we don't kill each other during the wait.

Lol.

It's funny, it's easy to think it's nothing until you see the animation, then you're imagination starts to run wild and you start staring at everything

It's actually every 6hrs hours, so the next change should be at 40d 16hr on the timer.

great job on the discovery. i never looked at the background, i would just glance at the timer and click on the forums link.

Scream112 · 5th February 2009, 23:47

click. Next image. Just like clockwork...wait a second!

All these people's photoshop and picture hacking skills are > than mine, so I don't get to do very much lol.

Hmmm I will come up with something.

*stares at animation*

Rathius · 6th February 2009, 00:12

For those of you interested in the musical notation. I would like to direct your attention to the last section of Khurite Lore that mentions their musical qualities. I do not know if it is or isn't, but it may help.

Elfvis · 6th February 2009, 00:18

Well i looked at all the letters in the background and was hoping they were from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Britannian_runes.png

DIdn't work out : P or at least I couldn't use them to make sense... yet

Youmakeme · 6th February 2009, 01:12

Wow, nice work!

Zageron · 6th February 2009, 01:14

There are 1 - 46 pictures. O.O They put a lot of work into a countdown timer. xD

ArcheusCross · 6th February 2009, 02:07

You know, im just going to say or at least beg the devs for something.

Can we get this stickied if this thead is on to something devs? Pleeease?

Mime · 6th February 2009, 02:53

Great work AI fellows

Unfortunately I didn't had much time to help them, but I supported them

Shinzon · 6th February 2009, 06:25

The text breakthrough can be attributed to Unomat's work, since he is the one dealing with the composite layers and their separation.

jodex · 6th February 2009, 07:37

dont leave me hanging post more about the score, whats the time sig? is it bass? is the staff simply missing lines or is it not in western notation? my brain is burning to know.

Rathius · 6th February 2009, 08:05

We can't find a time sig right now, it looks like it may be notation for the lyrics, as the notes seem to correspond to possible syllables of the words. The lines are there, however I think they remove unnecessary ones in later sections. The first section actually contains 5 lines. 4 are dominant, and the 5th you can see from a single note that drops below the original.

jodex · 6th February 2009, 08:08

Thank you Rathius after hours of wipeout HD I can only stare so hard at my screen now. They really did a job of piecing those images together and then you sly devils come along and pull them apart

holo4ever · 6th February 2009, 09:56

Nope, there's still more frames to go before they need to upload new stuff.
Frame 32 is current, 33 will show on the page at 40d 4h.

holo4ever · 6th February 2009, 11:40

uhm... there already is a frame 32 and 33....

yes, and images up through 46 have also been uploaded, but they have not uploaded any past that, and they probably won't until the displayed image gets closer to 46.

Khaiyne · 6th February 2009, 14:43

Sincerely impressed, well done.

EdgthoTheSilent · 7th February 2009, 01:02

Very well done Aegis Imperium. I also noticed that the orrery doesn't appear to be showing our solar system. Probably an interpretation of the in-game one.

Mortician · 7th February 2009, 01:14

Just wanted to add that at the beginning of the teaser, when the gates first open, there appears to be a large statue inside the city holding what could be a planet...just an observation.

Zelua and Camulos

Btw very nice work AI. I'm really curious now

mspike6 · 7th February 2009, 02:04

Awesome Speculations, and it make sense too

thumbs up !

Regicide · 7th February 2009, 02:21

The animation is based on a christian conspiracy based all the way back to 69 B.C.
With further research the background art was painted by a Leonardo Devinci. If you look closely your can see a rabbit in the background which is really St. Peter, thus explaining the origins of easter.

hotix · 7th February 2009, 05:41

What game will be the next one to take the cake? With this countdown it seems to have spurred all of our interest even higher, and made us not even consider trying some of the newest failures in the mmo world.

Shinzon · 7th February 2009, 09:52

Has the community found anything that we might have missed? It certainly is possible; come on let's hear all of your voices!

Saviour · 7th February 2009, 10:13

I was doing some reserching yesterday, what riddles me the most is the background text I marked,

it isn't very visible though if you zoom its a bit more clearer, still I don't know what it stands for
Anyway I didnt' notice anything else then Unomat already did the words mea, inferno, vacua and the others I'm guessing though that this artifact predicted a catastrophy involving a meteor of a smalller radius hitting the world which then created the great conflux. Inferno would probably stand for the meteor, because it starts burning when it hits the atmosphere. While the word vacua suggests what created the inferno came from vacua-also known as vacuum aka the outer space. Ofcourse all of this are my speculations though.

Shinzon · 7th February 2009, 10:15

I suggest you read the entire thread carefully again; Unomat has posted an even bigger information disclosure shortly after the main introduction; it contains things of a more; juicy and specific nature.

Saviour · 7th February 2009, 10:23

didn't notice that, guess we have to wait too se what you guys find out about the musical score. I was more interested in the meaning of the words, they have a latin origin, probably more frames have to come up so we see a bigger picture, while more words will be coming up, it will probably start to make more sense

Traceur · 7th February 2009, 12:47

about the hebrew, i must say i did recognize some words, such as "the idol [svat]", "evil" & "run"... could be coincidence, but i doubt it as we know mats has read at least some hebrew literature (hagada, the golem, etc).

dahankus · 7th February 2009, 14:20

Hi I was playing around in photoshop and managed to get more clear symbols, how does it look?
Im trying to work them out now
