Towelliee just admitted that the alpha isn't coming until he gets the mount from Sha of Anger.

The rumblings....
I would argue joking about stuff players want is okay so long as it is presented in a ludicrous way.
WoWhead talking about players getting Shalamayne and Sylvanas' bow is okay because the idea that we suddenly get them right now is kinda absurd. Similarly with the surfboard mounts, players want it, sure, but it is also something you can look at and laugh at the ridiculous nature of.
Now if Blizzard had made an April Fools where they had announced 8.3.5 that would come with a Scourge themed dungeon to tie into Shadowlands along with Heritage armor for Nelves and Forsaken then that would be slightly less okay, because that is simply telling us what we want, and then saying we cannot have it. Which is pretty underhanded.
The world revamp dream will never die!
The April Fool's joke from Blizzard this year is there is none.
Surprise!
TBh on eu shazzrah Classic server you can see the joke in orgrimmar, The entirety of orgrimmar is a lagfest atm. not sure it is the same for EU classic servers.
I guess whatever they were going to do for April Fool's was canceled.
