Peculiar Message

Secret World Legends General Discussion

Within the Daily Login Rewards pop-up I received an ‘Update Title Text’ message that read;

Pellentesque habitant morbi tristique senectus et netus et malesuada fames ac turpis egestas. Aenean nec consectetur leo, vel condimentum sem. Morbi eleifend ullamcorper nibh. Praesent eget tempus nunc. Cras consequat erat vitae nulla dictum cursus. Suspendisse fermentum ipsum id risus ornare bibendum. Ut convallis leo ac aliquam mattis. Proin cursus molestie mauris sed euismod. Morbi porta diam nulla, non suscipit elit interdum in. Vivamus

Which translates from Latin to;

Nutrition residents soccer sad old and ugly netus et malesuada hunger and poverty. Pellentesque massa Aenean nec consectetur leo, vel condimentum sem. Japan soccer ullamcorper nibh. Present need time now. Cras consequat nulla dictum of life was to the course. Suspendisse fermentum ipsum id risus ornare bibendum. In order that a lion, and the valley, some real estate. Mid-running television Mauris Performance. Morbi pellentesque felis adipiscing none at all, is not susceptible of customers at times, of. live

Clearly it must point to a new ARG.

Where are you seeing this? I see nothing aside from the regular news and the normal login reward page =o?

Why does this remind me of Markovian Parallax Denigrate?

Umm i think it might be a Lorem Ipsum, or rather a placeholder text, but i could be wrong =P

Yup, placeholder.

Indeed. Phrases seem to lead to https://en.m.wikisource.org/wiki/Lorem_ipsum_(unsourced)

Nice, thank you.
Just looking into Lorem ipsum and it appears that the text is derived from De finibus bonorum et malorum (“On the ends of good and evil”) written by Roman orator, politician and philosopher Cicero. A five book work, the text comes the first book on Epicureanism, from parts that deal with hedonism - that pleasure from the absence of pain is the highest good.

I think the creatures of the Hell Dimension would disagree.

I like how some of these bizarre and/or unsolved internet mysteries are speculated to be modern online number stations. Very Secret World.

I hate to break immersion, but where are you seeing this? I think this text flashes on-screen for a moment before popping up the news entries. If it’s not showing you proper news entries, then I need to look into that :stuck_out_tongue:

Yes, excellent! All hands on deck for puzzle solving!
Nonetheless the initial ‘update text’ is replaced by the proper news entries after a moment.

Are you suggesting this is not actually an ARG? :scream_cat:
Or that you are unaware that it is?

I’m having a Deja’vu
And this is the only place i ever heard of this and twice now for two different things lol

Yes, it’s placeholder text while the news page loads.

Nooo :scream: it’s it’s some secrets informations. We need to translate this lol :joy:

That’s the spirit! Have at it and down the rabbit hole we go!

I does appear that prior secrets involving lorem ipsum exist, whereby Google Translate was returning the latin words back such as “NATO” and ‘China’, “The Internet”, “the game” and “The Company”.

If i’m not mistaken Funcom at one time had offices in Beijing and has been recently working closely with a partner in China.
