If you don't remove testing/unfinished parts of the site before putting it into production, people like me will find stuff like this...

It's funny what 30 seconds in firebug and 5 minutes with the snipping tool will give you...

On the "Add a Card" screen, the Sentium reference points to one of the factions of mechs in this game.  The other faction are called Prosk.  Cool find!

I figured it was something like that. The web team has a knack for having unfinished parts of the site exposed. I saw the previous site before it was released due to an email error, and a private forums due to a typo I made. I poke around stuff like this for fun. :) One time I found a hidden API for Halo 3: ODST and reverse engineered the events data it gave. You could generate some pretty interesting stats from the data, although no one cared about the game really so it was never used and since then the stats for the game have stopped working.

We applaud you for your sleuthing ability! It should be noted that these pages use copy that is not only not final but actually made up by the Web Team for the purposes of drafting and design. They shouldn't be taken as an indicator of our planned exchange rates or increments.

That said, Wilford J. Brimley should now be an easter egg in HAWKEN. I'm making a note here.

Yeah I figured as much, since I could see until the very end it doesn't actually talk to the server at all, and I said as much in the image gallery. I mentioned it though in case someone else found it and didn't realize that and went all "Why does it cost X_" :)
