| I am also vey dissapointed. I have a lot of questions about how this ARG ended. I would also like to know how many of us were left "at the end". Is there any way to get a sign in sheet going to find out? I have looked at some of the response counters and they literaly were up in the thousands. I cannot believe that this ARG ended due to lack of participation. | I am also vey dissapointed. I have a lot of questions about how this ARG ended.

| As far as the clifhanger ending if that was our ending it was the worst in completed ARG history. There have been ARG which lost funding or ran dry that ended better than this one. SO many questions unanswered so many things left unfulfilled if this is the end I will not be happy. I as well as many other spent a lot of time invested in this game and if this was all they could give us with a soggy ending like that, then making us wait for weeks to get any word on anything. I think it is in the best intrest of the Ocular Effect, ABC Family, and the OE community to get on the ball and bring back Faith. | As far as the clifhanger ending if that was our ending it was the worst in completed ARG history.

Please feel free to add any comments you may have regarding this ARG below. I created this page as a player-controlled resource for feedback regarding what appears to be the official (maybe)end of the ARG, announced November 11, 2006, via an online survey which referred to the ARG in the past tense, with questions referring to it as being completed.
- Note: this is not an official ARG page, so there's no guarantee that TPTB will see this, but for our reference, it's nice to know what people think.
If you're not registered, please feel free to register so you can edit the page, otherwise contact someone who is registered, so they can add any comments of yours you wish to include.

My opinion is mixed at this point - great experience, awful ending, from an ARG standpoint. They broke the curtain with the survey to find out about our experience, but they also wanted to leave the arg open by having EWO send out a 'last post... for now' type message. I find it ridiculous that they would end it like this, but it's better, obviously, than leaving us hanging indefinitely.
I'm definitely awaiting some kind of PM interview, or chat, or press release, or something to clarify exactly what is going on, or what happened here. My hope is that this simply was a lack of funding and they weren't able to complete what should have been complete, in which case, I can't blame them. But if this was all part of their plan...
shame on them. My final survey was fairly positive as it was a recounting of the experience, which was great. But for the ending? Come on... get serious. I agree with djsampson in that this was probably one of the worst ARG endings, if it was intentional. ARGs have ended before, but usually by a friendly notice from the PM(s) informing everyone of why. This is still such a vague ending that it's more frustrating than satisfying.

I want to start by saying that I had a great experience with this OE community. It was one of the closest group of ARG'ers I have ever been involved with. As far as the storyline I thought from the beginning this story was great as well as the characters. I enjoyed all of the puzzles that OE threw at us as well as the character interaction. The characters in OE were very well played and were believable and easy to relate to. my overall experience with OE was fantastic and the idea of OE going away makes me shutter in disbelief
