What April fools jokes are going on in the games that you're playing?  I turned on Guildwars today to find my character looks like Gwen (an NPC from the start of the game) and is in a cute anime style while in towns and outposts.

Also have any of the websites of games you play done anything?  Google, Youtube, and Bugmenot did pretty funny things from what I've seen so far..

I'll look forward to it :)

LotrO is having an event that lets you become a level 1 chicken and spawn in Ettenmoors (the PvP) zone. If you manange to cross the zone without getting killed by the monster players you get the "Fool" title. Alot of people got upset because they were getting spawn camped by the creeps but later the free people gathered and started protecting the chickens :)

Seems like alot of fun but sadly we in Europe didnt get the event (coming another day...)

 Lineage II: Herbs drop from monsters that give you an afro and change your weapons into various pastries and breads...

Different coloured Afros give you different buffs. One gives you attack speed, another gives you casting speed and the golden afro gives you vitality regen (makes you get exp faster).

Haha, that's funny, I was just thinking of creating a thread like this, and it popped up on latest forum posts ^^

I'm wondering the same thing.  I only know that everythings upside down on YouTube, which is really annoying hehe.

EQ2 has the Bristlebane quest line. Bristlebane is one of the dieties in EQ2. Somewhat of a god of tricksters. One thing EQ2 does well is live events for the holidays.

St. Valentine's - Day Erollisi Day - Early February to late February

St. Patrick's Day - Brell's Day - Week of March 17

April Fool's Day - Bristlebane Day - Late March to early April

Halloween/Harvest holidays - Nights of the Dead - Mid-October to mid-November

Christmas/Winter Solstice/Chanukah - Frostfell - Mid-December to mid-January

Hehe sounds cool.

The guildwars Gwen's look like this:

I remember when TBC was underway on Wow, and Blizzard announced the second race they were putting in apart from Blood Elves. And it was Whisps, that was a good one hehe, I rarley know what date it is so I totally bought it  They had put mustasches on them and such, hehe. 

Anyone else have any good memories ?

There's a picture for GW too.

Hmm..that's odd..I don't notice anything wrong with google or youtube. But mmosite.com ''revealed'' in their games for april section the supposedly new blizzard mmo as World Of Kung Fu Panda...

WoW has officially launched their obligatory April Fool's main page joke, which is the "PvP Dance Battle system."

It's a pretty amusing read, but since people expect it now from them, you can be guaranteed that anything posted on April 1 at about 5pm EST is a joke.

Odd that they didn't make some fake announcement about one of their highly anticipated upcoming games.  I'd think most people would buy that at least for a moment or two, and actually get fooled.  But not this dance thing.

I don't play it, but by far the funniest I've seen this year is Istaria:

The key is the last paragraph, which announces that the game is discontinuing Windows support and going Mac-only.

Blizzard Fools are ok too.

Although only funny if you know the game/the skills.

Oh and the Shush attack of the Archivist on the Diablo 3 website is awesome!

I find it odd that I'm really hoping that the Archivist class makes it into D3.

most of them listed here were already mentioned but ..
