Default April Fool's Everlasting Tonics

They've already implemented the graphics code. Creating associated tonics should be easy.

Everlasting Kanaxai, Panda, Island Guardian and Dhuum tonics would be popular, based on today's reaction. Adding more scarce, desirable items that have no Hall of Monuments use benefits everyone and hurts no one.

If it were me, I'd have some come out of the Zaishen Chest as rare drops (like the Sinister Automatonic, Everlasting Transmogrifier and such). I'd also update the monthly tonic rotation to use twelve of the new models.

There are plenty of other ways to introduce them - art contests, promotional codes, or (God forbid) micro-transactions.

Agreed, those would be some sweet tonics and im sure theyd be quite desireable.
I really hope they dont put em as micro-transactions :0 although i doubt they would. But yeah, i agree with this

There's definitely plenty of potential in using these kinds of things as rewards.

Are you suggesting to replace the old tonics with a new rotation, or have a new set of tonics be released alongside the old ones? The first way doesn't really feel like it would accomplish anything.

A miniaturization tonic to shrink yourself would be nice too.

I'd try to reward playing PvE instead.

Maybe introduce a VQing Zbounty and after you VQ the area a chest appears and it has the properties of a ZChest? You'd get ZPoints towards your title and it has the drops the normal ZChest has, just that you can open it for free.
That unfortunately requires much more work input than just swopping some tonics or putting already available pet designs as extra drops within existing chests.

Look at the newest update text:

Fixed the size constants of the world.
See, size is a constant, not a per-creature variable.

I agree it would be cool, but it might not be as easy as some may think.
