Yes they did. Their base armor was raised from 80 to 100.

I really didn't read it but skimmed. When I saw the Scythe nerf at the end I freaked but remembered it's still April 1st and reread them and got some awesome laughs at everything. Awesome job with this one!

Would have been fun if they really did this for a day, then did a rollback.

I laughed so much. Thank you sir.

LOL - spent 15 minutes trying to explain to an L20 warrior at LA that he couldnt get back to Pre-Searing but he was adamant!

So adamant, he kept asking in Main (after I whispered him) for help in getting back - I thought a quildie was having a joke with him, then read the updates and realised why! I left him to it then - and to hassle the other folk who were playing Ascalon Wall Guard's games! This was at 23:00 GMT too!

Kudos too - Ascalon Wall Guard (or Gate Guard cant remember) seemed to spend all day in LA asking riddles and leading 'Simon says' and giving away stuff as prizes. I 'heard' several come away more than happy for having been given a gold weapon - nice one!!!

I only read as far as the GvG update and yelled at my husband "OMG, the Guru PvP forums are going to go critical... come look at this!!!" ...

then I read the rest and had a really good laugh!
