Yeah i’m going with April fools. Ion did come out and say there are no plans for 8.3.5 anytime soon.
That said, we have seen things that were April fools jokes make their way in game. Such as a dungeon needing a light source to travel through. Points to the last section of Vault of the Wardens.
I’m a little unclear - it seems obvious to me that if this is a joke, it would be a joke by WoWhead, not Blizzard.
Blizzard April Fools jokes are actual jokes - that is to say, they’re designed to be funny.
These are just… lies? There’s nothing funny about them, with the possible exception of the surfboard. They’re just incorrect information. Or possibly correct information.
This first video’s soundtrack starts out wanting to be Night on Bald Mountain, then it tries to turn into the BWV 582 passacaglia, but it never quite gets to either one, and waiting for the sound to drop is driving my crazy.
the necklaces are actually really cool. Everything there except the Surfboards look awesome but it’s Ellemayne and Shalla’tor that indicates this is a Joke to me.
Blizzard would NEVER give these as common appearances to players, especially to Alliance ONLY.
