The Secret World mysterious box stumps community [updated]

The Secret World launches possible Orochi ARG

A series of mysterious forum posts might be a new alternate reality game for The Secret World.

The posts show a honeycomb cylinder with a note and SD cards inside that was sent by a fan to Funcom. The note reads, "To unlock the truths of the void, one must offset themselfs [sic] from the tenements [sic] of known reality." On the SD cards were very small files with a few letters and numbers in each.

The studio made the files public, and the players have responded by investigating what appears to be a community-led ARG. If a Massively reader can crack the code, make sure to share with the entire class!

[Update: This was sent in by a fan, not the developers. Made changes to the story accordingly.]
