I just saw a message in-game that said "War 14196" in blue letters. Does it mean anything? And did anyone else see it?

So there's 14,196 people playing Warrior classes atm eh? And the previous Census of them was 14,184 so now there are 12 new warrior classes being played by the peeps.

Maybe its a countdown for a big release?(just a guess)

because 14172 is a multiple of 12(the 1,181st one to be exact)

Interesting that it'd appear to us 3 times as a message... I think this might be meant for us to see

14196 / 60 = 236.6
236.6 / 24 = 9.8

I took the numbers (they appear to be minutes) converted them to seconds and added them to the current unix timestamp. Then I converted the timestamp to a date and voila

They were decrementing by 12, and if you look at the times of when the posts were made earlier in this thread you would see that each new message was 12 minutes apart
