Our friends at KingsIsle Entertainment have tipped us off to an exciting bit of news regarding Wizard101. Unfortunately we don't know quite what that news is just yet. Why the posting then? Well, that's where you lot come in.
Take a look at the image above and put on your thinking caps. KingsIsle let slip the fact that this picture is the first in a series of three to be released over the next week or so, and there's some sort of message hidden in each image. As we understand it, all three will be needed to decipher the full message, which ultimately has something to do with some "mysterious upcoming new content."

This is so exciting - I love the idea of cracking the secret message! It must have to do with the glyphs at the top of the screenshot?

I am studying the pattern of the glyphs...I think Ditto is onto something! Thank you Massively & KI for this sneak peak!

Something African, obviously.

those glyphs are cryptic. my only guess is a number sequence:
123131 211 14 142117
but i don't know what that means
123131 211 14 142117
but i don't know what that means

I'm so excitedddddd!!!!
I think the Giraffes may be the only 'letters' there so far, everything else may just be spaces and place holders?

Maybe it is a new world/city with an african wildlife theme. The trees look like the ones in the savannah and the lions girraffes and spirals at the top might be represent the occupants of the world and the spirals might represent it being a new world in the spiral.

I have to agree with some of the other. I think the Glyphs contain the message and I think the Giraffes stand for h's.

It's definitely a new world, if you look over in the corner on the right hand side there are health wisps. With the elephant it looks African. I just don't know if its main line or not. My guess is that it is because they just released the side world with pigswick. So.... ANOTHER MAINLINE WORLD YAY!!! {maybe a higher lvl cap ;) }

For a long time we who have played the game have wondered who are the Oni? We know they are in someway related to Mooshu, perhaps this new land is connected to Mooshu? Perhaps this is the land of the Oni?

@Locq oni are demons in Japan/mooshu so anything having to with Africa wouldn't have an oni. this new world is probably a continuation of Celestia like krokatopia is a continuation of wizard city back then you were after malistaire now your after morganthe.

It is related to Africa which explains the giraffes and elephants. Also new giraffe pet, rhino mount and "African House" help prove that point.
Also it is Morse code. It means "Down in the Depths" in Morse code.
