In the logo of the second trailer at 1:03 the dog tag has a name on it (could have before, and we may already have the name, but i only just noticed it, lol.

It seems to say John Shits (lol), but i presume i'm reading it wrong, i can't really make out what it's meant to say, my eyes/monitor aren't very good.



I also send Loki my address quite a while back, but being in the UK i guess he doesn't really want to pay the extra cash for shipping, lol.

http://nordicculturespot.blogspot.com/2010/09/ragnarok-and-axe-age-sword-age.html

On this website it describes the events at ragnarok.

Two intersting pieces from that site:

"Before the battle two humans, Lif and Lifthrasir, had taken shelter in the sacred tree Yggdrasil and they emerged,,repopulating the Earth. Some other gods also survived, among them Vidar and Vali, sons of Odin, Thor´s sons Modi and Magni and Balder, who was finally able to escape from death in the underworld, where he has been kept captive."

"When the battle was about to begin, the god Heimdall blowed deeply his horn, as the sign that the final battle was about to start. Odin, wearing a gold helmet, carried his magical spear Gungnir, while Thor brought with him his mighty hammer Mjöllnir."

I have to admit that I haven't been following this very closely over the past few weeks, but I just received the following key in the mail, taped to a business card.

I'm not sure about the significance here, but the front of the key says AXXESS+ and the back of the key has the number 69 printed on it. Images are below for your reference.

Got a new e-mail from Sigyn;

Quote:
Gee, i think you guys are pretty smart! Or should I say ...clever? The next step to answer the puzzle is Out there already. You know that its easy to find. Of course it is, Unless you're not looking close enough. Take a minute. Understand the hints. Because the answer may be right in front of your Eyes.

sigyn


Hidden at the bottom:
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
we're planning something, keep an eye out!



The hint in the e-mail is;
Spoiler (Rollover to View):
GOTOYOUTUBE when you put all of the capitals together


I think she may be hinting at the video which we've already seen. Which confirms that there is clues in it.

Also - suppose we look for Loki/Sigyn legends involving getting your eyes poked out:

"Out" is capitalised.
"right before your eyes"
"keep an eye out"

Kinda obvious. Very Happy

I got an email from Sigyn containing two images.

The email wrote:

DEFINITELY

Loki doesn't like me to ask directly.

He's so weird.

So here's a cryptic clue...





or my attempt at it.

Sigyn

Ah, well noticed Distilled, seems Sigyn could be more cryptic than she lets on.

Wow, so real world events are go, awesome.
I can't wait to see what it's going to open.

Axxess is simply a machine that was used to make the key. It's a duplication machine though so you might not be the only one to get one.

This screen shoot is from the first Video


For me the name looks like JOHN SNITH but with ab bit fantasy it could be SMITH witch is also the name of the guy in the newspaper:

Yes, I am narcassistic enough to quote myself - and what?!

Just occurred to me that I'm a retard and she's obviously referring to Loki's one eye. Not 100% on what this means for the game. I'm going to try playing around with the tree of life buttons on the ragnorak page for a while and see where I get.

It certainly makes sense for it to be John Smith's since he's already a character, although he's not been mentioned to have been in the army before (unless i forget).

It seems like a pretty safe bet that it's some kind of reference to snail mail. Maybe you're getting something in the post?
