If it is a gender change again this year then it would be hilarious for all those near-naked female eles in 15k Sunspear to suddenly change into fully dressed males

Interesting how there are practically no male ranger NPCs. There's Aidan but he isn't annoying really.

I'm bringing my thread back from the dead.

April Fools Day is 9 days away and it's in the middle of next week, so a potential weekend event doesn't seem it'll be existent.

You get a presant containing a rare minipet like a polar bear or panda. It is fully functional untill you logout. When you log back in, it is replaced with a message saying Aprils Fool.

It would help our side of the debate a lot if people could at the very least try it out.

They should make Ursan Blessing turn you into an actual black bear that is the same level as your character -with bestial mauling as your only skill.

Make the bear transformation permanent on those characters, even when it ends, so I can /point and /laugh at them until the end of Gw.

April, besides having a day dedicated to immature jokes, is also ArenaNet's birthday. I would suggest giving characters their birthday presents early this year. It is the presents that are the catch...

All presents, when used, must generate some kind of internal "item id". Anet should reset the pointers to all of these presents to Rare minis - Kounavong, Panda, etc. On April 2nd, the pointers should revert to their normal state.

Since this would be limited to a limited number of characters, Anet could do the same pointer reset to all existing minis as well.

...would you remind a guy of his birthday and last years suprise birthday when your planing another suprise birthday for him?

its april fools, dont hype it up, the suprise will be ruined for people that wer'nt here last year because they'll expect the gender change and it'll mean nothing to them.

/end little rant.

I concur. This is a great idea, and definately worth the time that would be invested in said project. Gaile would also not make an appearence that day, in any town/outpost, and logs off her e-mail account. Support should do the same. As to avoid any QQers that would flood the support system complaining about such a violation. It would be golden.

I agree, my warrior is a male right now but I find females look both better and are funner to play. He/She would also be pretty hot. I like the way female's attack. Also, to add onto Nugget's comment, an everlasting one would be leet.

I wouldn't touch this place with a ten foot pole if that happened for fear of the chaos that would follow. Still, an awesome idea and I'd definitely get plenty of laughs from it.

This would be a great time to introduce the bot-blocks in towns... obstacles that appear it the paths of common bot runs that would require manual intervention to go around.

Then we could all gather and laugh and laugh and laugh...

No! Wait!
Anouncement of the Xunlai Market. Then people get there... and it works!
And then they remove it and say it was all a practical joke.

THAT would be perfect. Everyone will love the joke.

I vote for something totally cruel, like the game being locked in Hard Mode or Shiros running around the towns.

Gender change is also good, my Ranger has 15k druid's, but as a female he has 15k Sexiness. My warrior greatly disturbed me, though.

Ok, forcing Bork!Bork!Bork! only works if they also change all of our characters into characters from the Muppet Show!

The only problem is I want to be Animal. Or Dr Teeth. Or...

Maybe April Fool's Week?

Boss Mode for GW! That would be fun, I'll just go to Cantha and farm Shiros all day long.

What would be a good joke for April Fools to me would be to turn all elite armor into regular armor and remove the HoM stuff. Also change the skins of the rare weapons into common weapons. I can hear it now "No! My e-peen Crystaline Sword is now a Butterfly Sword!"
