April Fools Day last year was stick figures, the year before was a sex change.

What do you think they will do to us this year?

What would you think would be funny to see this year?

Rickroll is old and unfunny, it would be more hilarious if they put up news to GW2, and it linked to worldofwarcraft.com

Loading my cute little monkette only to find her transformed into a bulky and ugly male monk was not a positive experience.

A warning notice given at log on stating that
"due to the current economical crisis, the local councils in each city have cut back on funding to save money"

Subsequently, all towns are now bland with dead grass, no water features, homeless people and litter all over the place.

That would be hilarious.

What I think they should do is seriously build it up like it's going to be something major that you need to look carefully for, and then just do nothing.

Coming Attractions

The Live Team is now designing the first big content update of 2009, which we expect to release in April. We had many discussions towards the end of last year and ended up with a major wish list and a plan for what it would take to make that list a reality. At this point, we have a clear idea of what is ahead of us and we hope everyone will be as excited about these prospects as we are.

Here are a few features we are currently developing for April:

* Increases to account-based storage
* Improvements to character-based storage
* Account-based changes to the Hall of Monuments
Et voila! =D.....

Make every monster, EVERY, drop Black Dye, Ecto, etc. (rare items) and have the following displayed:

"Whiptail Devourer drops a Vial of Black Dye reserved for Koss/Alesia."
"Terrorweb Dryder drops a Glob of Ectoplasm reserved for Ogden Stonehealer."

Seeing all the drops that are assigned to the hero/hench would piss off a lot of people, and be quite amusing when they are always rare items.

My guess would either be the shrinking, or the GW2 announcement linking to this.

Have random, intermittent, item drops in major cities. Things like:

-Not a Glob of Ectoplasm
-Not a Zaishen Key
-Not a Lockpick
-Not a Chunk of Amber

Then you click on it, you pick it up (in your hands) and it explodes, like a fake present on Christmas.

None of these things would be funny simply because they've been suggested. If it's not original it won't be funny.

I beg to differ. I'd laugh my ass of if they rickrolled everyone in a GW2 announcement.

Ive said it before and I'll say it again.
Rata sum being randomly invaded by the Broodmother and her nestlings and slaughtering all the inhabitants.
Heck, any main outpost being invaded.

How about one of these alternatives?

Let people carry weapons in cities and be able to attack each other.

In that case you may want to have Gwen back, making everyone burst into flames.

When you go out of any town all the monsters look like your party and your party looks like the creatures. Would be nice to put the smackdown on some of those H/H's, could make for some cool screenshots too, your toon as a big blue monk boss.

"Pre-nerf" is incorrect. It's pre-buff.

I'd like if they reversed fame and zaishen points on accounts for the day. For example:

-a person with 0 fame would have 100,000
-a person with 1 fame would have 999,999
-a person with 95,000 fame would have just 5,000.

Too complex and uninteresting?

Every town should be filled up with homeless kittens and puppies walking around mewling and crying. You can pay a new npc to feed them which will shut them up for 5 minutes and make them roll around on their backs and be cute. Instant money sink! Of course, I'll probably be the only person doing it, because I think I'm the only person that ever does that pig in a catapult thing during canthan new year.

I know what they can do.

Upon signing up they can say "Your account has been banned. For an explanation please click here." the link brings you to your characters and you log in and all your gold is GONE!

I love it. Peeps would freak
