For him, the simple objective of the mystery of Mount Chiliad would have been to confuse the communitywith the sole aim of making users spend hours racking their brains when there is no real solution to this riddle!

“It is obvious that there is always a desire to set up very complex easter egg hunts and leads that the most dedicated players will follow. As with all easter eggs, sometimes we put references to annoy people. They’re useless. We’re having fun with people, just to make them a little crazy.”
