April Fools

I miss the old days when Blizzard would give us an epically hilarious (and sometimes believable) April Fools. Sometimes these jokes were so nuanced that people raged over the possibility of them being true.

Nope that was wowhead’s April Fools, the official blizz one hasn’t been posted yet AFAIK. It’s usually a blog post or forum post.

it took me a minute to figure why my retail priest Im leveling is now lvl 60 ( was 82) and has an equipment slot with a wand equipped I didn’t have yesterday. They got me for a sec, it was early and the coffee had not kicked in yet

They switched us to classic, sorta

Yeah I included wowhead in my post - it should have read “at least wowhead posted theirs.” But really not in the mood atm to edit. /shrug

It doesn’t surprise me in the least that bizz dropped the ball this year…at least up to this post time anyway - pretty much par for the course of this entire xpac.

That’s my guess too, I’m still waiting for Hardcore mode playable wisps that explode on death.

This year was actually more believable than previous years. Had me fooled up till the surfboards.

Edit: I am speaking of wowhead apparently.

You miss the “old days” of…last year? Anyway, I’ve read that a lot of companies are skipping their April Fools’ stuff this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
