You'll just have to tune in to find out. Although, I have responded to multiple threads stating that the day and time the countdown ends is purely coincidence when it relates to it being a Thursday, a patch day, PAX being that weekend, anything else you can think of related to that day, etc.

March 21 is the day Henry V became the King of England. We must be conquering France, and invading the Picard family homestead, right?
It's the day the Scottish National Gallery opened in Edinburgh. So clearly we must be getting hand painted portraits of our captains that day no?
It's the day Yosemite Valley was discovered. So this must be something to do with our captains climbing a mountain. Why would they be climbing a mountain?
Please Dev's tell us one thing and one thing only !!!
When the timer ends is there a patch or do you Dev's just reveal what will happen in may ?
It's a small gesture off asking so people finally stop bragging about it !!!
When the countdown ends on March 21st, it will be May.

Because they can only move in 2.5 dimensions!

"Participation in PVP-related activities is so low on an hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly basis that we could in fact just completely take it out of STO and it would not impact the overall number of people [who] log in to the game and play in any significant way." -Gozer, Cryptic PvP Dev
When the timer reaches zero there will be nothing, complete darkness! Then suddenly a green stage light appears, illuminating DStahl dressed as an orion slave girl where he proceeds to do an erotic dance for you painted all in green.
Compared to some of the things been said I wouldn't say it being the least unlikely of things to happen.
Well there'll be at least an announcement trailer.
Odds are the patch will goto Tribble Friday or next Friday. They'll need at least a month or two to do even a mediocre testing on the Romulan Faction. The additional Klingon content might not take as long.
There have been hundreds or thousands of speculation as to what happens when the countdown stops - has anyone said it will be nothing? Maybe they will just re-set the timer - like an early Aprils fools joke.

In all good movies the countdown stops at 04 seconds...

Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain, why is he climbing a mountain?
To envelop...that mountain
To hug the mountain
...that mountain
...that mountain
He wants to make love to the mountain.
I would pay money to watch Dan announce the release of a Romulan faction dressed as a Romulan centurion from the original series, funny orange peel hat and all.
They are a little late.. they'd first have to buy Cryptic from the Ferengi.
This whole slander against the The Frengi needs to stop:D
A better example would be the Pakled
Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: The Pakleds seem pretty... sincere.
Pakled Captain Grebnedlog: We want what we want.
Commander William T. Riker: Our Bank accounts are non-negotiable.
Pakled Captain Grebnedlog: We want them.
Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: Believe me, they're nothing if not... persistent.
Pakled Captain Grebnedlog: We want to be nothing if not persistent.
Lieutenant Geordi La Forge: Nobody ever said they were great conversationalists.
It's a countdown. The idea is that you don't learn anything until the clock reaches zero. Telling us ANYTHING completely defeats the object.
It's not long to wait now anyway. Eitherway, I'm not looking forward to the inevitable rage posts that will appear on these forums subsequent to the reveal, because whatever it is you can guarantee that someone won't be happy about it.
The rage posts are the most entertaining thing around here (to me). I'm only 99% sure I'll find it lame. After the last 3 years that will be in no way surprising to me. I look forward to seeing how some will try to make it a "slap in the face" or some other equally histrionic action to which it doesn't really equate. Better still, I love the suggestions to fix that usually involve totally rewriting the engine, or implementing some mechanic that's been tried and failed already. I paid to be entertained, and this is the manner in which that entertainment manifests itself (around here, most other games I get too busy playing to read their forums and SWTOR's forums are crazy too but the crazy is not as well written).
I'll sell you some weapons from New Romulus. Never fired, only dropped once.
Am I the only one thinking "Please don't leak anything, it would ruin the fun."?
No you're not the only one. I've kind of enjoyed this. The speculation has ranged all over the universe and that is entertaining. In the earlier days the well-intentioned oversharing of information regarding development plans still open to change led to cries of broken promises etc. I don't miss that.

Cryptic has already told everyone what this is about.

The Romulans take over Cryptic
In 2153, Captain Archer is briefly taken prisoner by the Tellarite bounty hunter Skalaar, who plans to sell him to the Klingons. (ENT: "Bounty")
but I'm having doubts of that being the linchpin to keep this wheel spinning. :cool:

A) Conquering France isn't hard.
Because they can only move in 2.5 dimensions!

What Cryptic should consider before releasing anything.
Tuesday is more canon :P
No. Keep your junk food and your bad language away from this country!
God, lvl 60 CW. 17k.

Why would you need a reason to climb a mountain?
Exactly what I was thinking...
Captain Kirk is climbing a mountain, why is he climbing a mountain?
To envelop...that mountain
To hug the mountain
...that mountain
...that mountain
He wants to make love to the mountain.
lol funny song there centersolace:D

my jab for the week
the countdown is to the next countdown about something released after another countdown.... :P

Foundry authors...to your stations!
I'm afraid the foundry doesn't have those prefab maps.
There are less than 22 hours on the countdown as of this post :eek:

That's an amazing leak.
