I would have to disagree, simply because they probably wouldn't put the little "hash mark" on the number if it was a "1"... I think it's a 7.

Just to point that we -may- be on the right track with phone numbers:

We may have jumped the gun on thinking this number is "out of game"... However, I'm not suggesting we all start calling this guy like maniacs.

Someone who called him mentioned that he was interested in where he got the number, so perhaps it WAS the character AQN...

I don't know. However, I'm fairly sure that the number is in the correct order already, and that we shouldn't randomly start calling dozens of permutations of that number.

So, he went to visit Wongmo/Leo/Leiphe/AQN and AQN had bailed.

I would guess the pheonix was been drawn by AQN as a logo for his business card and left there by accident. If so, I would usually imagine that the number was his phone number... but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Couple of things here... firstly, notice the little black triangles that are placed here and there? Could they be representitive of periods, or some other separation of the numbers? I tried several things, none worked.

Perhaps an employee number at Metacortechs? Or, like someone else mentioned, a log in or password somewhere?

business card

Maybe someone needs to ask about a business card or about a phoenix. Maybe someone left one or it was found one. Instead of "business card? meaning "How bout this picture for a business card logo?" it may mean, call this number and ask about a business card.

My initial thought on that stuff was that those symbols and shapes are there just to help "disguise" the numbers.

Possible... I just can't believe that the PMs would make a login in number or something similar that looks exactly like a phone number, and has the same area code as other in game phone numbers.

[11:00]    <StreetPreacher>   Ask for a website
[11:00]    <trip>   He is going to have a web site soon
[11:00]    <trip>   But he didn't ahve the address yet
[11:00]    <Wishi-san>   But ... we know it's supposed to be Mr. Cromwell

[11:01]    <FlanInTheFace>   What's shaufhausen translated mean?
[11:01]    <AnthraX101>   It sounded like "Shaufhausen", but I really didn't understand him
[11:01]    <yeahyeah>   I called and asked for arnold earlier.. :)
[11:01]    <trip>   I asked him how to spell it and he said he had anothe call and had to go.

Someone should just call him back... if he was interested in knowing why they were calling... What's the big deal?

definitely in-game. i just called him back and he said he was a doctor of spiritual rebirthing. That would toally coincide with the Phoenix. When asked to spell his name, he gave me the same "i've got another call and hung up."

702-407-0925 is in game.

I called and he answered "Dr. Shauffhausen" or something like that. I asked for Mr. Hoffman (the name we were talking about previously) and he said he's no longer at this residence. I said "Oh, he used to be?" And he said, "yes, I get calls for him now and then." So I said, "well do you know anything about a business card?" And he said, "Business card? No. But are you interested in my seminars?"

Then I died, of course. Razz

So I said, "Oh, what semiars?" He said well, "Well, I have several semiars. Discovering your inner..." [not sure what he said here, or if perhaps he didn't finish the sentence, didn't say dolphin for sure!]"... self help type stuff."

So I said, "Oh, I am interested in that actually. Do you have any more information?" He said, "Well, I'm going to have a web site soon." And I asked for the address and he said it wasn't done yet (or something like that.)

So then I meant to ask how to spell his name, but instead I said, "How do you spell your phone number?" I was so nervous! And he said, laughing a little bit, "My phone number?" And I said, "I mean, how do you spell your name?" And he said, "I have to go, I have another call." And hung up.
