Do you think we'll see another April Fools Day character change day this year?

There gonna do something, but its gonna be different, and it would be a ncie surprise if it WASNT on april fools day. For instance, the BMP is a joke and we wont be able to buy it again really.

(just a joke, not serious, but is wondering where the BMP is?)

i think it would be epic if they built up hype for something and on april first they shut down the servers for 24 hours...that would so rock

Hehe nice one. But yeah, they will do... something. But I bet it will be wierder and different.

Granted, they can't do something too strange. First of all, half the people in LA thought it was a glitch and were freaking out and didn't get it. Stupid idiots.
Also, several places, such as England, have different customs when in comes to April Fool's day. For them, April Fool's ends at 3 in the afternoon (or something like that), so they were very confused as to why it was still going on all day.

They made all male characters female, and all female characters male. It was quite fun, I hope they do it again.

I also don't see any reason for them not to, all they'd have to do is reuse the same coding.

Ungh. Enough with the bashing. All of his and Tender Wolf's threads have been legit. Contribute or this gets closed.

That said, I *REALLY* hope they do the sex change thing again. BUT I hope it extends farther than main cities: Make it happen everywhere!!!

Actually, there was a glitch were they accidentally turned on the april fools thing again earlier this year (like 3? weeks ago). It happened the same time the birthday cupcakes were dropping I think.
It is all on the wiki update page under "notes" for that specific day.

They will most likely do the same as last year, doubt there will be any changes.

Like I have 2 chars with Obsidian armor? And even with the same name? And even with the same Legendary Cartographer? Don't think so. Check my avatar the "real" Reign of Groovy is the female

Yes this was 3 weeks or so ago when Birthday Presents dropped too.

If it were a trick, your character could be normally male. And the picture on the left is the one you took on April Fool's.

edit: Nevermind.

Plus you can tell in that the picture of the left has the base of a melendru statue (you can tell from the "roots") in the background. Since the sex change on April Fools didn't occur in any town with a god statue (it didn't happen in ToA right?) its definately his "real" character.

Golds and ectos drop, but in your inventory they become piles of glittering dust. XD

Might screw the economy though. Near the end of the GW betas, didn't they do that shrink-character thing? ME WANTIES AGAIN.

Also, here's mine from last year. The greatest heroes of Tyria, transformed into the biggest nobody misfits in the blink of an eye.

As you can see, these are from LA, where most of the insanity occured.

They should definitely turn everyone into the most annoying NPCs.

Warrior (male and female) = Prince Rurik
Ritualist (male) = Togo
Ritualist (female) = Elder Rhea
Monk (male) = Mhenlo
Monk (female) = Danika

And that's as much as I can think of.

Male Necro = Vizier Khilbron
Female Ranger = Saidra
