April Fools day is coming...what do you think Blizzard is cooking up this time? We haven't heard yet, and they haven't said. But Blizzard has a long tradition of pulling our legs right out of their sockets on April 1st. So just to get you ready, here's a quick roundup of what they've done in the past few years. Check them out first:
2004
Blizzard announced that two-headed Ogres would become a playable race...playable by two players, that is. Not many people fell for this one -- MMOs are all about being social, but playing a character with another player? A little too wacky to be legit.
2005
Pandaren Xpress. This was the real beginning of Blizzard's silliness -- Sony had just recently announced a (real!) deal with Everquest and Pizza Hut, so the announcement by Blizzard that they'd made the same deal with a Chinese food chain sounded legit to many news outlets (including Slashdot), and got quite a bit of coverage for a joke. Blizzard must have smelled blood in the water, because after this, April Fool's Day was never the same for them.
