Bioware Countdown

[The Saltman]

Heard this first from Rodeo but:

As a sign that things aren't likely to be slowing down any time soon at the development house, BioWare today launched a mysterious countdown timer. The countdown timer appears on Mass Effect's, Dragon Age's, and BioWare's company-wide Web sites and is set to expire on Monday, March 29 at 9 a.m. PDT.

So what does the countdown timer pertain to? One topic that seems like it can be ruled out is Star Wars: The Old Republic. Developed and published in conjunction with LucasArts, The Old Republic's Web site does not boast the same ticking clock that BioWare's other Web sites prominently display.

new game perhaps

I read on massively.com that Bioware PR said it was not game related, but is more community focused.

No idea wtf that could mean and why it would be worth starting a countdown for.

yeah probably some info about the star wars game is my bet.

they added 'community event' under the timer on the pages now.

it's like it got too popular and they were like 'oh poo people are expecting something big,' so they put a disclaimer under it.

i would guess it's some kind of contest for their forums or something.

or maybe they're launching an Old Republic forum.

Site crashes right before it tells you what the countdown was for...typical!

this is what im hearing:

BAM!

I got through.

It's the Bioware Bazaar.

Edit, it's a bunch of auctions, but instead of money it's tokens you get through a series of challenges.
