- The Artifact Location was discovered by using the text found in StarImage4.jpg of Server 04. The header of the website reads: "Artifact Location"
- What the "Artifact" really is is unknown at this point.
- The site consists of numerous stars that slowly disappear the longer the page remains open. In the center is a password entry box. Faintly visible in the background is another glyph (see right).
- The stars are randomly generated every time the page is loaded, and holds no meaning in and of itself.
- Following the same lead from Server 04 content, the image unknown.jpg was determined to be an astronomical photograph of the Boomerang Nebula
- Assuming this is the 'location of the artifact', if one enters boomerang as the password, the page content updates.
- Listed are 3 cities:
- New York
- Seattle
- Los Angeles
- Beside the cities are randomizes characters, which cycle endlessly.
August 13
- The numbers 081607 (16th August, 2007) appear between the city names and random characters.
- Later in the day, military times respective to each of the cities listed were added, which are theorized for the opening of Server 05.
August 16
- After the times which were specified had passed, numbers that appeared to be coordinates appeared in the place of the randomized characters.
- The first set of coordinates led to a location in New York, corresponding to the first city on the list.
- The second set of coordinates led to a building within Seattle, also corresponding to the second city on the list.
- The third set of coordinates led to a house in a location known as 'Westwood'. Upon zooming out, it appears to be northwest of Sacramento.
- Later, the third set of coordinates changed.
