Re: Rage of the Gods Japan

I have a feeling that this is legit, why? Because they tried so hard to cover up the 6 digit code. Unlike some sites, they didn't leave it just sitting in the source.

I find it a little cheap that this new website is hosted by Godaddy. The others are not. You even get this godaddy error page when you type an invalid link (like www.rageofthegods.com/lala.jpg).

Also, the website is only registered for a year. All the others are registered for two or more.

And that rat picture on the papyrus is the exact same as the image in that wiki. This means cheap photoshop work.

And what's with the "Enter 6 Digit Cancel Code"? A viral site would probably not say that and let you find out yourself what should be entered (numbers, words or whatever), by giving clues.

Ok, it looks good and solid but it kind of tries too hard to fit in.

Now I'm guessing it's probably fake.

Although it has the same IP location as the slusho website, the slusho website was created almost 3 months later.

It would make sense if slusho came first, but the other way around just doesn't fit considering it links to it.

But on the wierd side, in the whois info, it's blank under "last updated".

I don't think this should be listed as OOG until we are 100% sure.

also the person who posted it (from your source link) gives absolutely no detail on how he found it. This hints that he made it himself and is just trying to gamejack.

Also there doesn't seem to be a way to enter the actual code, so I'm guessing it's just a text box and the words "enter the code".

The reason i don't want to discredit is because there was no last update date, which means either it was never updated(meaning this is legit), or he hid it somehow, or maybe that it was not picked up by whois.

Hokay.

I'm not devoting more time to this myself.

Either we got it too early, or its not real-- and since it was randomly found on a comment on a fan site, I'm vying for "not real"

Either way, its just not worth looking at. If its too early, we AIN'T getting that code. And if it is a hoax, well...

Wow, I'm an idiot. This is definitely OOG, this site was made 2 months before slusho..meaning that it couldn't have always linked to slusho.

It took me a few refreshes, but yeah, now there's an eclipse.

this is very likely a fansite/hoax based on the fact that this stuff is appearing as we find it. A work in progress, set up today, rather than something planned in advance.

Just my $0.02

Proven out of game, as I said, it was created 3 months before slusho. If it was updated, the person hid the update info on the whois. If he did that it means it probably wasn't always like so.

OUT OF GAME

That cheap ass lens flare they added for some reason just screams OOG.

The person didn't check how it would look surrounded by a black page. And it looks really bad. It will soon probably be changed again.
