I love it. Peeps would freak

I have no gold.
But this would be great. All your gold gone and your best character deleted for having an inappropriate name. =D

They'll be kickin themselves now if they've began work on the april fool trick and they dont have enough time to impliment this. Ha....guess again on catapult - directs to pic

All armors are made invisible, all underwars is removed and people appear with one black bar in males and two black bars in females, like those transparent but censored Futurama clothes.

Give everything in your inventory a fully transparent icon in those towns and see how many "I've been hacked" support tickets that are sent in.

A quest promising to take your character to GW2 if you complete it and collect enough AF tokens. Of course the quest is only active for 24h and involves a riddle that can't be solved in that period of time.

I vote that we be transformed into a different profession:
elementalists become necromancers
necromancers become mesmers
mesmers become warriors
etc. etc.

Most likely they will only implement something as simple as this :P

This has my support. It's simplistic yet does the trick.

Anet stripping everyone's accounts of all items, gold and armor for the duration of the day under the guise of this hacking nonsense going on.

Then the next day..... April Fools!

Though im not sure about armor...i'd still like to play in some form lol

Edit: On the other hand, pvp without armor would be fun!

Revert all armour appearances to the starter armour for the profession and campaign of that character?

(I've actually seen that happening on the character screen - I think it does it as a placeholder on a new (re-)install.)

Or go the other way and show everyone in Obsidian armour!

I'm afraid nothing will match the surprise of the first April's Fool Day. It was so unexpected that people went nuts upon logging in and finding their characters' genders reversed. I know my ladies did not look good as males (except the mesmer).

Since then we expect something to happen, but I don't think ANet will be as obvious as people think. They seem to be more creative than the average forum member.

Something along these lines would be cool. The sex change last year was quite entertaining. However I question how they would be able to transpose skin/hair/face combinations into a different profession.

The sex change transpose was easy, because all the skins and hair have a corresponding slot in the opposite gender of the same profession.

Going across professions might take more effort than they want to put in GW1.

WOW, so many of you are missing the theme of the past. They do this to your toons. First year was a sex change, last year was stick figures. Not some stupid gw2 rickroll, deleting inventory items or screw with the drop areas. Get creative here people. What do you think they will do to our toons this year?

Pumpkin Pie, great idea mate. a town full of headless horsemen.

Dont remember who posted it, cant scroll back far enough in the thread, but turning everyone into the size of a mini pet and making everyone naked with black lines over "sensitive" areas...lol...also great ideas.

You are all on track with this line of thought.

Even switching the sex of the body but keeping the same head. IE female monk head on male warrior body, male elem head on female ranger body. Things such as this.

Triple everybody's lvl so that lvl1 would be lvl3 and lvl10 would be lvl30 and lvl20 would be lvl60
Of course without affecting the actual HP and attributes etc, and with only true lvl20, ie fake lvl60 being able to access HM
