Last year's were WAAAAAY better tho'.

And Taurus the Bull is coming to the Etherwilde? Right? I want my guild-specific empowerable being! Cause the cities have more of them and thats not fair! They get to use more essence!

Ha.

That might have been an option if you didn't write me that letter like 4-5 RL months too late...

Heh, this year's announcement was definitely better than last years! I remember hearing about that last year and thing WTF? That can't be right...

But this one definitely caught me, until I came to the forum and saw how dumb I was. And then Estarra got ahold of my posts, and all heck broke loose .

I thought it was believable until the no conglutinate and guards at Nexus part. But I had been expecting another announcement like this the whole day, so I didn't think too much about it.

Yeah, that's where I finally caught on. But seeing as I'd just gotten off work, where I'd left a whole bunch of pranks for people who open tomorrow, I kinda figured it might be a joke.

...

I mean... man! Awesome changes, admins!

Is it wrong if you actually do think the changes would be fine with just a few tweaks and the obviously ridiculous parts, like the Hand, removed?

Hey, who's saying that these changes aren't already fine?

Thinking about how awesome the changes might potentially be is what sorta gave it away as being a joke, eh?

You know.. I woke up thi morning , and read this announce. Thought, "Crap, Baalphegar needs essence!! "

So, I heads to the Earth Plane, and while bashing grubs, start reading this post...

Takes me three pages to realize it was a joke...


It WAS a joke, right?

Right?

Estarra, I am starting your order, so I can make a shrine.. just so I can defile it.. EBIL!!!!

I thought it was real! <-----

Completely forgot about April Fools.

I thought it was April 1st yesterday. Mainly because of Rehia!!! She had a big April Fools thing about her char on another game being dead. Damn you Reiha, for doing it a day early!!! Messed up my whole perspective of things!!!

And then we discover it's not a prank.

That would be hilarious, wouldn't it?

Bravo!

I feel bad for all the kids who don't come to the forums

I feel bad for the people who think other people have to come to the forums to know its a prank

The people who don't know IRE and don't know Lusternia too well but understand updates....

It was still 11:30 or so EST, and being egocentric Americans I think quite a few of us got caught of guard.

By 11:30, you mean 12:09, right?
