Strange Numbers In-Game

Howdy folks.

Mystery time.

So. Recently, a few folks experienced something strange-- they got unusual strings of numbers/symbols in their client while playing the game.

I wasn't around when this happened, but apparently there's some funny business going on with them. I'd sure love it if everyone felt inclined to post what they've found here.

Any copies of those strings, or explanations as to what they could be translated into could be very interesting. Could be hidden images, messages, plenty. This ain't the first time we've had this sort of rodeo rear it's head. Let's get to the bottom of it.

This is the third one I got:

Code: Select all

01   10 # 
00  # 
11  # 
0/1     # 
10  100 0110 # 
  0) 0111010  )00101/     0#         1   0001 01#10101 # 
0 #0)010 0/0000#         01100
/#/0/1011/0 # 
0 110##1 )11 # 
1000 001011   1 0    11)#0     0


1101     0  0    101/#0 
0110010      010
And the fourth:

Code: Select all

0  11010


#00/11    )1  # 
1 # 
0111    /0100010# 0#1#0 0   001
The first one I got is a screenshot, and I missed the second. I'll get the first over before long.

I'm told some, maybe most, of these need sighted help to decode and it's quite the process. I got a few last night. I will post them here, but not all are binary only so hopefully the forum software won't eat symbols. Here you go! I am very very curious what people find.

First one that's more than binary stuff:
010 #
1// 01111/ #
1 /1100 /0 01))100 /1110001 0 10111 #
)1110011#00 #
1)10 0#1#010
)11001/# )11 010 00101100 #
) 110011 01001000 00 #
01111 #
011 0
1//0010110 0)1

Another:
01110100
01111)01 01101# 0 #
1100100 #
01 #
0 101 001010
0 0111/011 0 #
110001 01110010)01/00111 011001#1 0)101000 /1100/1 0110 #
0)0#00101011 00#00) #
00110110 #
0) #
01110 )0 1001/ 0/110)00 0010 #
#
0 00 #
#
0001 0010/001 00101 #
10 00#10

One that's pure binary that someone told me resolves to a URL to an image?
01110100 01111001 01101110 01100100 01110101 00101110 01110011 01110101 01110010 01100111 01100101 00101110 01110011 01101000 00101111 00110001 00110110 00101110 00110010 00110000 00101110 00110001 00111001 00101110 00110001 00110011

That's all I got last night. I even bugged this thinking it was, well, a bug. Now I'm not so sure?
