LoL cool post. I thought the OP was crazy at first. It appears it's actually a game.

A friend <the.hidden.places@gmail.com> to me
I said I would call on you again. I had no idea it would be so soon.
A trusted friend has sent me a scan of an old photograph thought lost that may hold clues to the true nature of the conspiracy. I need your help to decipher the clues and find its source.
You were the ones, the chosen ones, who discovered the truth behind the numbers. You are needed once more.

I love how the first page of this thread has everyone freaking out over it being a virus/scam
Anyway, new e-mail went out:
Friends.
I'm no longer able to post on the forums. My messages are deleted instantly, and unwanted eyes are able to pry into our private affairs. I am, however, still able to use the very same channels for sending mail that cannot be tracked back to where I currently am. For now.
Hopefully all of you are to be trusted. Don't show your cards - and be cautious.
I believe you have found the location now. Yes, the arrow points there - the pentagram - and all prior signs correspond with your latest theory. It is as I thought, but I needed it confirmed. Good work!
I'm as much in the dark as you are about the time. I know the clues are right there in the photo, as clear as day, as obvious as anything we've ever looked at...but the answer still eludes me. The clock is a message, I'm sure of it. But how to read it? You must focus on that now. We have the other pieces.
Remember: Year, month, day, hour, minute - and the location.
The names are the key to the message.
My coffee grows cold and I'm receiving long looks from the staff. I should move on before the lunch crowd arrives. I don't know where to go next, but I will try to check in again soon. If not today, then certainly tomorrow. But then, after that... Time runs short. I must disappear or risk exposing myself.
Hurry. You are closer than ever. I depend on you now.
A friend
And I didn't read the whole thread, so in case it hasn't been mentioned, all the e-mails have originated from volunteer.funcom.com
I go to the site www.darkdaysarecoming.com Then i click on the o (of "conspiracy") i just get a huge timer. It doesn't take me to a puzzle, and one of three cities; London, New York or Shanghai???
each letter has the same number of appearances in each sentence.
A3 G1 R2 I1 M1 O1 D2 C1 N1 E1 S1 K1 Y1 so the solution will most likely have 17 letters with the appearances mentioned above. No solution found yet, but workig on it.

Each english line has 17 letters. each line has the exact same letters. each letter has the same number of appearances in each sentence.
