T-Minus 1 hour

[The Heik]

As was reported about a week ago Here [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/7.182833-BioWare-Begins-a-Mysterious-Countdown#5441957] Bioware launched a countdown that no one seems to know what will occur at 0. It is currently only one hour away until the timer hits 0 on this mystery clock as seen Here on Bioware's site [http://www.bioware.com/]. So fellow escapists, what do you think will happen when Bioware's clock chimes 0?

Well it looks like it a server went down on the site or something. all I'm getting is:

"Our Apologies

The BioWare websites; online store; master server; and online authentication are temporarily unavailable. Sorry folks; we're having a few technical difficulties. Those pesky Gnomes are banging away at the giant; steam-producing clockwork computers we keep in the basement guarded by Swikky the dire squirrel. We will be back up as soon as we can."

Kinda expected this, epic (community event).

Last minute call: Not gonna be DLC, DLC is too small for a counter. Gotta be a game.Possibly a TOR Open Beta.

did anyone else get a Our Apologies page?

Nevermind

Server crash!

How the hell were they not expecting this? A countdown is practically a "please crash my site by flooding us with hits" sign.

Mass Effect site won't load at all, Dragon Age site won't load at all and the main site has crashed. That was predictable, what with everyone who knows about BioWare swarming to their website.

Is it fate or what, a storm just started at the end of the countdown!!! =D

Back on topic, looks like they had a little trouble with the site... =(

Back on topic, looks like they had a little trouble with the site. BioWare & Dragon Age are down, but Mass Effet 2 is still up... Is that a sign?

No, the Mass Effect site won't load at all, it gives me an error.

 

[Picosaurus]

I'm calling it now, a Dragon Age/Mass Effect crossover.

:O Oh please let this be true

Keep us updated minion!

The countdown ended fine for me, though i was on the Mass Effect website. However, due to my computer being crap, i can't load the page that there is a link to where the timer was (i think its a picture but again, my computer is crap and the possible picture doesnt show up.
The page it leads to is this though: http://social.bioware.com/bazaar

Obviously it crashed, think of all the people that have been sitting with the site open watching the timer go down. Thousands of people trying to open a page at exactly the same time, this was inevitable

Keep us updated minion!

So far everyone is just complaining!

 

[TotallyFake]

It's up! KotOR 3, prequel to TOR, play as Revan AND The Exile!

 

[T-Bone24]

I can just picture them now, watching all the numbers go up for website views and them laughing at us trying to get in, shovelling popcorn into their faces and scouring internet forums for people like us wondering what the hell is going on.

 

[Phoenixlight]

Hmm the website isn't working for me :/

You're too fast for me, I got ninja'd! At first, the Mass Effect 2 page would still be there, but a new refresh yielded the same results as the others, that's why I edited my post, but you caught it before I erased it.
