Someone posted an explanation here:
Quote:The mandarin in the bottom left of the loading box is
右列(Yòu liè)
which translates to:
"Right column" or "Right row"
The mandarin on the top right is
出 (chū)
which translates to:
"out"/"go out"

Not sure of significance...

Indeed everything is extremely slow and the nextfrictionalgame site seems to be completely down.

EDIT: Seems the site is working again, slowly but operational. 72%...

Great to know. Any estimations when the counter will be 100%? Midnight maybe?

Even if so, it probably won't be accessible.

From Frictional Games' Twitter:
Quote:Important Notice: The progress bar for the booting process will not increase faster the more people visit the site.
Quote:One or several persons are currently making tons of requests, slamming
our servers, which in the end will just make the booting take longer.

Well, that explains the website and forum issues! lol Just hope whoever it is also refreshes their twitter page! Tongue

I'm surprised the servers aren't outright crashing from this, though. Good job on that. Just difficult as hell to get pages loaded. Are they sure it isn't just people DDOSing to ruin the ARG?

Edit: I've been testing the site for a while now, just showing you the History: http://tools.pingdom.com/fpt/#!/cwOFlV/h...lgame.com/

Well... there is a chance that some of these whiners who were disappointed with AMFP managed to purchase shitty botnet which is enough to overload FG server (either CPU or bandwidth).
