I don't care for cuteness in an rpg (else I'd probably be playing hello kitty online), it's immersion breaking and in poor taste (and I'm proven right considering the many pedo jokes in this thread).

But as I seem to be the only one who is not enjoying this "joke" in any way at all, I'll shut up, close my eyes and try to spend my time today with vanquishing or some other outdoor activity, or maybe not playing the game at all else I'd be haunted by those puppets for the rest of my gw life.

Chill out man. It's just a bit of fun, it's light hearted and inoffensive.

You've gotta have a sense of humor about these things.

Maybe your right. Maybe I should not even chill out but take this as a chance to optimise my mesmer hero builds by continuosely flagging gwen into a group of charrs and see how long she can survive on her own.

lol this was a very funny event. They should do super deformed versions of some of the other main characters and make them mini pets.

My Gwen-chan army wasn't very effective against the charr. They mostly just stood around looking cute.

Only complaint is I wish the men were little Rurik's or something. Otherwise, I love this and the cute music.

Best April Fool's yet.

Wow, because there's nothing else in Guild Wars that is more annoying than an avatar change. I can think of worse things. Like, what if Guild Wars allowed players to turn into an annoying monster that made a bunch of annoying sounds in town, and you could do this all year. Oh wait.

As an aside:
WTB Everlasting Gwen-chan Tonic.

One must admit the animation is really good. I'm wondering who did that job? Anyway gz to the people who created her. I didn't like the gender change, didn't like the stick figures either and I don't like Gwenn, but this Gwenn Chan is really groovay. She's ready to have her own next gen 3D 'arcade' game.

It's the first time in GW that I want to jump with the toon I play. Jump with Gwenn Chan on things and over stuff, slide down etc.
