BioWare countdown breeds speculation on Star Wars: The Old Republic

It's a sure thing that if you put a countdown on your site, gamers will start speculating rampantly as to what it means. BioWare has apparently decided to get in on some of that action, with their pages for the company, Dragon Age: Origins, and the Mass Effect franchise all displaying the same cryptic countdown. At the time of the above screenshot, it's going to hit zero on March 29th at roughly noon EST. The question, of course, is only half-answered by doing the math -- because the real question isn't just "when," but also "what?"

Fans of the hotly-anticipated Star Wars: The Old Republic have been speculating up a storm that it ties to an announcement for the game, perhaps the start of beta or even more news on launch. Careful digging from forum members Ianril and Zechio have uncovered a potential launch site for the game, which is currently devoid of content but certainly looks legitimate enough. Short of the company coming out and saying what it's for, we won't know for sure until noon on Monday, but those who can't wait to test the game (possibly after our GDC impressions) might have good reason to hope for the best.

[ Thanks to everyone who sent this in! ]

Update: Attempting to log into the new "launch" page with a BioWare account will return the error, "No game servers are currently available for play." Could this be the actual game servers, or perhaps servers for some other type of promotional game? Speculation continues...

Update 2: BioWare's PR has responded to Joystiq's Ben Gilbert with the following statement: "The announcement is more community focused and won't be a game announcement. Unfortunately we can't share the details with the press."

A epic community update?

Well we could keep our fingers crossed and assume its the announcement of the date the beta will begin, but with BW it could be something completely different - you know what they can be like!

I find it quite funny how Sean said "The login page has been there for some time" as that's blatently a lie....if there is one thing the SWTOR community is good at its finding the tiniest, most trivial discoveries and making a big deal out of them. Do they really expect us to believe that if such a page was "there" that someone in the Community wouldn't have found it by now? I think not.

However, if Beta was close to launch a logical step would be to test certain online connections, such as a login page - which is what we have at the moment.....

April 1st is next thursday the counters and on Monday
And the counters are mysteriously absent form SWTOR.com anyways.

I think of the chances Bioware announce the first BioCon will be soon. The Bioware will do the same as Blizzard with BlizzCon.

Its 18 hour to the end of countdown

18.00 CET

hahahahahahhahahahha I got

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.

Page overload much?

Bioware, Dragon Age and Mass Effect site is down
