    What April Fools joke do you think Anet will pull this year?

    How will they troll us this year? Will it be a ridiculous in-game feature? I just hope they don't mess around with release dates lol.

    I'm scared to think about it.

    I'm going to avoid looking at anything GW2 related on April Fool's day. I don't want my heart crushed. :P I'll read about it the next day.

    Ugh. I'll be so upset. Even if I know that it's a prank, it will just remind me that I didn't get in.
    April 10th isn't too far off though.

    I honestly doubt it's going to be anything related to release dates or beta invites. That'd just be cruel and make them look kinda bad.

    Guild Wars 2 Release Date: December 31st, 2012. Year of the Dragon, indeed.

    If this isn't a joke....WHUYYYYYYYY

    Two new professions? No. Bullshit. Fake.

    I CANT BELIEVE IT!
    Main: Vargox (Charr Engineer)
    Guild: Asinium - ASN is always recruiting! Launch day guild will be made and invites will be sent out and recruiting will commence on release.
    We are primarily an Aussie guild but are always recruiting anyone! Send me a message in game for an invite.
    Server: Sea of Sorrows (US)

    I think this might be the Wiki's April Fool's joke and not ArenaNets... but we will see

    Lunar calender, my dear

    Ends sometime Jan/Feb

    And errrrrr...I dunno if they'd be that cruel this year. Prob though.

    EDI, read it. Early-mid 2013. Surely we're not going to have a pre-purchase of a year. I think I just died a little inside.

    On the plus side. A player controlled elder dragon sounds increcible epic.

    IF IT'S NOT ALL A MASSIVE JOKE.
    GARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

    I'm tempted to agree that this is the Wikis April Fools - I really didn't expect ArenaNet to be playing an April Fools based on the release date, I'd have thought at this stage that something like that would be off the cards, simply due to the anguish it could potentially cause.

    April 1st. Game releases today!

    April fools!

    Game actually releases tomorrow

    Annoyed and excited at the same time.

    While I'm sure this as an April Fool's Joke (the wiki's, not ANet's) the following is amusing:

    Wiki: "I believe Ree mentioned in an interview that ArenaNet has its own official wiki, where all the information about the game is stored and organized. Is it possible that this wiki will render the community-run wiki unnecessary."

    Colin: "I wouldn’t be too worried about that. The official wiki itself has done an excellent job thus far, and therefore we see no need to release our wiki to the public at this time. In addition, our information storage wiki is just a place to sort our ideas. We use a complex system of shorthand—we call it Asuran, as a reference to the industrious little geniuses—on that wiki, and I doubt it would prove useful to the gaming population at large."
    I don't know about every company, but I know that Blizzard does have an internal wiki filled with information specifically for employees with the proper access permissions. A lot of the lowly GMs will get info from there. So I don't doubt that it's actually true that ANet has their own internal wiki filled with information about the workings of the game.
    I hope you haven't forgotten my role in this little story. I'm the leading man. You know what they say about the leading man? He never dies.

    If you give in to your impulses in this world, the price is that it changes your personality in the real world. The player and character are one and the same.

    Don't laugh about that. I actually did have such apps for my WoW account with Facebook, auto-announcing every freaking achieve my characters accomplished. It got spammy, so I had to manually filter out the stuff that didn't really matter. :P
