Got a phone call... sounded orkish

freakishbean · August 2013

I did the beta sign up and dropped my phone number there - and I got a call today, but part of the message was garbeled. It asked me for my "9th question." Sounded very goblinish/Orky... anyone else get one?

irpugboss · August 2013

I got something very similar, was hard to understand on my crappy cell phone lol...but yeah it sounded like a grot said something along the lines of "questions" lol.

DUDE ..my wife just had that happen to her..no lie...the call came from Washington State

irpugboss · August 2013

Yeah mine was a 206 area code, moarrrrrrr info! I must know moarrrrrr.

This may be relevant!

Legends tell of an entity known as "The Guardian of the Maze" that inhabits the Crystalline Labyrinth. Though his name implies that he serves as the protector of Tzeentch's realm, he is said to function more as a gatekeeper and observer. Rumours tell of a path through Tzeentch's realm that, in theory, anyone, mortal or daemon, may follow to discover infinite knowledge. To follow this path, the inquisitive pilgrim must travel through nine gates. These portals, three times the height of a man, appear as golden arches wreathed in the blue and pink Warpfire of Tzeentch. Such is the power of the Guardian of the Maze, or perhaps it is the bizarre temporal nature of Tzeentch's twisting realm itself, that the Guardian manifests as a giant disembodied mouth hovering above all nine gates simultaneously. At each gate, the mouth ponderously speaks, asking those seekers of knowledge one of the nine hundred and ninety-nine Riddles of Tzaratxoth. Those who answer the riddles correctly may pass through the gates and continue along the path to ultimate enlightenment. Those who fail to answer correctly are doomed to wander the labyrinth for all eternity wracked with insanity and regret over the infinite knowledge that might have been theirs. Legend tells of one being -- the only one in all history, who answered all nine of the questions correctly. Strangely, many versions of the story posit that this individual appeared in the guise of a young girl who was accompanied by a small black dog. Factions within the Ordo Malleus wage vicious scholarly battles over the hidden significance of this tale, or if the tale actually happened, or was yet another metaphorical wisp of smoke from the Master of Lies.

Mhm, I guess we won't be capable of getting an anwser before the guys at PAX get their stuff together huh?

Soladrin · August 2013

Welp, regardless of what it is, I actually already found the classes. :P

And if you look closely, you'll see that the factions are: Deathskulls, Blood Moons, Goffs and Evil Sunz.

irpugboss · August 2013

Miguel was surprised and none too happy about that leak from their website lol

Soladrin · August 2013

Well then they shouldn't have made it so easy to acquire. :P

freakishbean · August 2013

Well done gentlemen. We shall not be barred by the likes of Chaos. For the EMPRAH.

Delerium (formerly Delight) is pretty much a personification of chaos and confusion and is accompanied by a dog named Barnabas.

I believe that the 9th question in this case refers to the FAQ on the game's website, the 9th question of which is- "What classes are in the game?"

As the voice was Orky it may well be a hint that they plan to reveal the Ork classes.

This would tie in with Miguel saying that he'd be surprised if someone from DakkaDakka didn't get it since that is an orky term.

I like where this is going...

I also love the the ork concept art now showing the classes (Mega Nob, Storm Boyz, Ork Loota, Mekboyz) ...definitely looking forward to being an Ork Mega Nob among a sea of chaotic F2P Ork boyz

Then again since I am in Vigilia Mortis that will of course be my alt :P

Hah! I knew it! Ya can't have a propa WAAAGH! without a mekboy! The tabletop strategy wins true!

Though I'm surprised about the Mega Nob. I thought that'd be like an elite choice since that armor basically makes him a terminator. Was expecting some sort of specialist like the Kommando.

irpugboss · August 2013

Here was a recording of the one I got, fortunately someone was able to record this one, this was my reference on page one about the Tzeentch Crystal Labyrinthe with 9 gates, each with one questions of 999 possible questions.

Omg... I got this call last night at 1am... I thought it was a prank so I hung up on it almost instantly.

I got almost the same message. Mine was slightly different though.

Mine woke me up at 3:30 AM CST. The exact message was:

I can answer that. (there's a pause with 3 mechanical sounding clicking noises) Why does he have so many questions? When one is asked how many more will there be? I can answer that. Just one more to (or will?) make 9 in total.

Creeped me out when I listened to it this morning until I remembered getting strange messages a while back for this sort of thing.. hehe. Glad other people got it too.

I originally thought this was from The Secret World as they've done similar things.

StMichael · August 2013

Seriously, why do I never get invited to this kind of stuff? I've applied to beta/special event access for original world of warcraft, burning crusade, wrath of the lich king, warhammer online, rift, guild wars 2, neverwinter, elder scrolls online, etc and never get any mention despite my more than adequate gaming rig.

All I ever wanted was to shove a power sword into a heretics eye socket, is that so much to ask?

I find it interesting, most of the people who got that message said it was the middle of the night. I got my message at 6:01 pm eastern time. I've still got the voicemail, since I didn't actually answer.
