[OT] New here and trying to figure out some stuff

Ok well first I looked all over and couldnt find a page telling me what ARG is...nor could i find out excatly HOW to find a key and use it to open a server. A good idea would also be to display all the known information into a certain area so its all downloadable for newbs and such. Any sort of lead for me to go to start searching for info would be great. Anyway im already a huge fan of things like this Giant puzzles that you have to figure out and stuff...

Thanks in advanced
~Dari

I see I should have asked it in the other board but there are no indicators on what the heck ARG even stands for...>.>

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternate_reality_game
What help a simple google search can do for you...anyway Im still completely lost on the how do you enter a new key thing I mean im guessing you figure something out and then somehow you tell them and they give you the key and I dont even know where to put the key...Yes flashing lights would help me a bunch if im acting like a total noob...I know how annoying it is..Sorreh

Well a better start IMO would be reading the ARG quickstart guide, then catch up on the story and events so far, and be sure to read about the servers so you understand how servers 1-3 were opened.

It's not easy entering into the middle of a game that's already started, but it's better than coming to it after it's ended Wink and it's still worth catching up and getting involved, at any point. If anything, it's a mind opening experience, and the community (whichever you may join) is great!

Dont get too excited. Iris is bound to disapoint. I[and many others] wouldn't even consider this an ARg at this point.

Things did get off to a good start with FCC and SOTA... but now, we are being given next to nothing in terms of clues and puzzles. With server 3, there WERE no puzzles, just "Let's see who can find the tiny difference on the Halo 3 site first!"

EDIT: spelling

Well there could always be something we are missing. I mean people were finding easter eggs and thought they found all of them then found one almost 2 years later...So we could just be overlapping something...I mean if they gave you everything at the same time then some people would find it instantly and it would ruin everything...

Yes, but the complete lack of effort by bungie and whoever else is doing this really dissapoints me. It seems that microsoft thought that they could pull of their own ILB and failed miserably, or it's just more of a backstory thing with a few puzzles. I'm more inclined to believe the first one as this "game" started off well with AR, SOTA, and FCC. And, come on, it's M$ we're talking about here, the ones who made Vista. Rolling Eyes

Im saying wait until the next two servers to see something amazing happen and I bet the people who open server 5 will get a basic copy of halo 3 early or a legendary copy when it comes out or something like that which will be so cool...They put enough effort into this so far just because its at a low point doesnt mean we can stop paying attention
