Is it just me?

Crispix

Hey guys, was browsing on the NS2 fan page(facebook), and decided to try clicking on the link, <a href="http://www.naturalselection2.com/" target="_blank">http://www.naturalselection2.com/</a>

Never came across this page before, but not able to log in from here, but its got some scrolling quotes about NS1 (probably based on the request Charlie asked earlier), and it definately looks like its a release for fall (Obviously from the text "PREPARE FOR LAUNCH THIS FALL" at the very bottom)

I'm assuming the official NS2 website is almost/close to done.

I'm very excited and cannot wait to see the final page!

Keep up the great work UWE!

(Sorry if I'm out of the loop and this was so obvious before...just never saw it)

Sorry for double post, but upon further investigation, yes this is the official promo site in progress.

Based on Charlie's Mockup, you can see the similarities

CAN'T WAIT!!!!!!!!

Look like we'll be getting a teaser in not to long.

Reading the quotes on that page get my all excited <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

Yup, noticed this. unknownworlds.com didn't reply so I tried naturalselection2.com and it actually worked.
Couple days ago the address was linked to uw.com. Can't wait. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile-fix.gif" />

Yup I remember it being linked to Unknownworlds.com as well. But I tried it again today and I guess I got lucky and found that its being linked for their new promo site XD

This is more for the benefit of the guys in the Summer thread -- there are as-yet-unpublictized pages for the following:

Watch teaser
About
Gallery
Natural Selection
Pre-order

yep just noticed that, maybe this thread should be forgotten until the site actually becomes reality.

by the sound of it they are hurrying to get stuff done soon <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":D" border="0" alt="biggrin-fix.gif" />

nice find.

There's nothing like deadlines to whip out some serious working abilities. I'm coming down off of my closing weeks for school and I never realized I could work so hard on so little sleep.

i know UWE will be at PAX, but what of E3? The promo site will be out around the time of E3, but is there a presence there for NS2?

We havn't heard anything about NS2 showing at E3. It would be amazing if it were to be shown.

I'm most likely guessing there won't be a showing for NS2 at E3.

2 quotes from Tycho at Penny Arcade? That's going to look a little odd.

Yeah hopefully it wont be too much of an issue. Best quote is from Gabe by far.

Crispix

So it looks like, www.naturalselection2.com is no longer showing up as we saw it before.

Raza.

I think they just got a new webspace.

again, when you had typed in only naturalselection2.com without the "www" it gave me the same page.

There most be a way to bypass that! or we can wait for it...and the teaser...

naturalselection2.com always went to squareSpace.

If you had typed the "WWW".naturalselection2.com, it would direct you to the actual promo site that was under construction.

Depot

Can't get to the promo site either...

Megahalo

I did type it, but now both of them take you to SquareSpace.

That's my point. Both of them take you to Squarespace. Before the URL with the "WWW".naturalselection2.com would take you to a site that was being under construction that had the quotes flashing, a release for fall at the bottom, the same banner as the current unknown worlds NS2 site at the top you see now, and a log in for users that would not allow you to log in, probably due to the devs not wanting us to see anything of course. Probably just a log in for them.

LOL I've tried explaining this 3 times now. aye.

Oh, well yea... I came in too late to get to see the preview which sucks <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tounge.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":p" border="0" alt="tounge.gif" />

Edit: Sorta pointless, but if you go to <a href="http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2promo/" target="_blank">http://www.unknownworlds.com/ns2promo/</a> then you get the normal website without the links at the top and the title of the page is "Pre-oder NS2".

badtrip

well, I found a way to access the site, but I'm not gonna tell. Also it's not finished I saw changes today : the buttons are awesome and the new logo is not what you expect. Of course as always they've done a great job! I'm excited to see more! (the content is still password protected though, I only saw the new design)

"I know something you don't know" Very mature. You aren't the only person who's figured it out, but you are the first person to spill the beans - I hope it doesn't result in everyone descending on it while it's still a WIP. I already made the mistake of emailing Charlie with some comments about it when it was in an earlier state and it's already evolved to make those comments irrelevant. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/sad-fix.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":(" border="0" alt="sad-fix.gif" />

He was polite in his response, but in his shoes I wouldn't have been.

Guys if you do track it down, don't follow in my poor example and mail Charlie to critisise what is clearly a work in progress! (my bad)

I think you missed the point here...I'm not telling anything about it...except that they did good work...I'm glad they kept a way for the biggest fans to see what they're doing...they could have simply block all the ways. I'm not bragging about it in any ways and I apologize if you got this feeling.

Edit: The only reason I'm not telling how is because it's not finished and not my decision to make.
