Update Bioware has finally managed to get the message out, and has announced something called ‘Bioware Bazaar,’ a week-long series of online auctions.

You can find the details over here. End of Update

Bioware’s announcement countdown clock has ticked down, but as the last second struck, the developer’s entire online infrastructure crashed with it, as a horde of eager enthusiasts no doubt rushed to see what the fuss is all about.

I’ll be keeping an eye on the various websites to try and get to the bottom of what Bioware’s was trying to let the world know, but for now, it’s a mystery.

Before the sites went down, the clock hinted that it was ticking down to an community announcement of some kind, rather than a game announcement, which kind of puts a damper on rumours of new iterations of old/new games, ports of Mass Effect to PlayStation 3, and perhaps even anything to do with The Old Republic.
