Maybe an announcement on the login where the dev team claims to have reviewed the 'state of the game' and in light of their deliberations will be rolling back some features/changes that have contributed to 'power creep' over the years...

Once logged in you'll notice that all heroes are gone, all your inscribable weapons aren't inscribable any more, Ritualists are now Monks, Assassins and Dervishes are now Warriors, Paragon characters are just GONE, all skills added since the release of Prophecies have been removed, all Core/Prophecies skills have been reset back to how they were at release...

That would be an April Fool's to remember.

How about changing us into how we mostly play, farmers change into dungarees, straw hats and pitchforks. Runners get spandex. Beggars get a Big Issue. Power Traders turn into Gordon Geko. Etc. etc.

I hope we get something similar to an invasion in town... Every 10 min or so a few hundred enemies would spawn, kill everyone (including NPCS) and after 1 min, they leave and you respawn. Or enable PvP in towns, giving a fake new faction every kill which you can turn in for good items at a non-functioning NPC.

Can't wait at all, mainly since my exams will be done this friday. And ofcourse because I am desperate to see what A-net came up with this year

How about removing all dye from armor. Or the title we have to carry around all day tells everyone how often we died or how many hours we have played

It wouldn't surprise me if ANet turned all male characters into Ooze and all female characters into Rats as they used to run around Lion's Arch and other towns before and somewhat after Eye of the North was officially released.

You know, something less than what our expectations wanted.

Also, if a fake update is made, they should move all elite skills to their respected primary attribute, i.e. all Warrior elites go to Strength, all Monk elites go to Divine Favor, etc...

Make changing secondaries on characters a new RMT. $10 gets you 10 secondary changes. Its not like its paying for an advantage, after all anyone could just remake a character with a new secondary.

Bring back attribute refund points, but instead of earning them via XP or mission completion, sell them in the online store... 8 refund points for $9.99 or a full 24 points for 'only' $19.99.

I'd lol.

It's all good with me as long as they don't change the sex of characters. Ever. Again.

and then you log back in after you change your drawers.

Whenever you map travel, it takes you to a random place (only chooses places unlocked by all partyy members)

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

They should add rogue black dyes which look just like regular black dye drops, but when you pick them up, they explode and knock you down.

It will definitely be something to do with player appearance in towns. I'm guessing that we will randomly change to one of the hero NPCs from the various campaigns.

The big issue part had me roflmao - i can see the beggers all competing to sell "Big Issue - get your Big Issue" - could there be the usual seller who bumps prices ... usually big issue 100g an they try big issue 1k lol.
If your not from the uk - Big Issue is a magazine thats produced and usually sold by the homeless and would be the uk version of beggers sitting and asking for 1 pound each time and usually you have several in town selling.

Wondering the same thing, but the last 2 times the fun came to us, instead of we having to go out and look for it :P So can't really imagine..

Maybe we'll have to wait, maybe there's nothing "special" this year..

Well, I got my joke today.

One FoW run, so many Ancient Skales on the beach I got owned badly. Second run, I clear beach and entrance, while popping spiders in the cave I DCed. Come back to see "return to outpost" message.

YAY.
