Ok, this thing let a couple of things get done that needed doing.

1- It added a whole bunch of narrow minded bigots to my ignore list that couldn't stop themselves from crying over the "bad wrong gayness" of what was happening. They are game characters not lifestyle choices, get over it.

2- It gave all the Lady players a chance to go mistreat the guys (as mentioned earlier) by using the Koss-hump dance.

3-It really messed up the minds of a handful of folks that just started playing factions and nightfall today and couldn't figure out what was wrong upon entering their very first town. (one poor guy re-rolled at least 4 times trying to fix it)

4- it was funny for the ones that were not warned.

Now if we could just get it to work individually on those that random emote assault folks in presear, this might be handy.

The changes led to this interesting screen shot when some of my guild mates got together.

Commander Ryker · Apr 02, 2007, 02:18 AM // 02:18

Thank you Anet, I totally loved it! I love that anet does these things for us when they don't have to. They are awesome and I really had fun today.

With the exception of my ele, all my guys turned in to hot women. Well, my necro ended up looking like someone you'd have to call mistress, but she was still hot.

I was going to play today but there goes that plan. At least I checked here first to save myself the aggravation. Thank god it is only for one day.

You aren't forced to participate, just don't go to any of the only 3 towns it's happening in. OMG, I just don't understand people like you. It's a game for God's sake, get a grip.

I do have a sense of humor, but this is something that goes beyond humor. A joke/gag is supposed to be something between friends where you all have a good laugh afterwards.

Says who?

I put a lot of work into my characters, including their armors and looks. Some were even made with a specific look in mind. I think they should have put in a NPC that could change you back if you wanted to. Not forced you to participate.
I did enjoy the joke, but at the end of the day I don't appreciate someone tampering with my stuff, virtual or not.

It's actually not your stuff, it's anet stuff. Read the EULA. The own all rights to everything. That's why they can ban people. If you don't like looking at them anymore, then just leave town. It's that easy.

I meant that the entirety of everyone in the town is changed. This suggests that the city itself just switches up the gender of all the people in it.

Kayla Slays · Apr 02, 2007, 03:08 AM // 03:08

Congrats A-Net. I loved this one.

Nearly choked when I saw my first char!
So can I have my lady warrior back - as a male she lookes like she met the back side of her hammer - hard. But boy do I love my ele as a girl!

What's really funny is how all the guys with guy characters are going wild about how cute or hot their newly female characters are. Who would have known?

HAHAHA. Now there's going to be a lot more newly made female characters around the GW world.

...and got to see for themselves how downright annoying it is when they go around hump-dancing every female character in the zone...

Funny how this April Fools' prank made people more of what they already were; the good-natured folks rolled with it and had a blast, and then there were the opposites.

I had a blast; this was a playful and brilliant prank!

Wait, you guys. You thought this was a temporary thing?

Oh dear.

Thanks again anet for one of the all time best april fools jokes! (whether it be temporary or not).

sevendash · Apr 02, 2007, 04:24 AM // 04:24

This is by far the funniest thing I've seen in the game. I was drinking with friends last night around 2am pdt and decided to show them the game and my beautiful Derv had transformed into a man. I freaked out!

I GO TO AMERICA · Apr 02, 2007, 04:27 AM // 04:27

I wish this change was permanent for my necro and ranger
