I AM MURLOC
Apparently Blizz's April Fools Day joke is a helluva lot more interesting than my poor druid.  If this were real, I'd so be there.

Bard Class!  


ETA:  Moltencore Console  provided by [info]dhole 

ETA II: (Five minutes later) Due to my completely oblivious state, I totally missed these as well.  Provided by [info]iwanttobeasleep.

Starcraft: Cows in space!

and Diablo:  Loot Pinata!

Wow, I managed to miss that one completely. How, I'm not sure. I'll blame the horde.

Skinning a bear should aggro every bears in a 40 yard radius.

Goddamnit, I was just about to make this post. . .

And you missed the other three pranks. (Don't feel bad, even Kotaku missed the Diablo one.)

Blizzard puts a lot of work into their pranks.

XD That'll teach me to post on three hours of sleep. I totally missed those. Adding 'em in now.

Yay! Everyone should have an opportunity to enjoy the awesome that is in those jokes.

Blizzard is by far the only reason to pay attention to April Fool's. I love the Tauren Marines. The WoW stuff isn't bad either.

I wish it wasn't a fool to tell me my realm is up, let me pick a character, and sit me at the loading screen and not let me load in. :/

The Kingdom of Loathing is 'The Kindom of Salad' today.
Everyones icons have been replaced with bowls of salad as have all the item pictures. Combat texts also have the word 'salad' replacing random words and salad fixings like croûtons, freshly ground black pepper and tomatoes replace body part names in hit messages.
Good veggie fun for a 'meat' based economy.

From the Tauren Marines page: There is a cow level

I was going to be pissy about the realms sucking it up today, but that murloc in the Tauren in Space link has just KILLED ME DEAD.

I desperately want Tauren marines in Starcraft II, and if World of Bard Hero was a real game, I would be all over it. xDDD

Oh, god yes. I love these elaborate pranks. Like the Zelda movie trailer.

They also put in a lolspeak generator on all the forum posts. Which, IMO, is goddamned annoying if you're actually trying to reply to RP threads.

Only slightly off-topic: I accidentally changed my realm because I'm a twit. Since none of my characters showed up, does that mean that I can go back to my old server when it's fixed?

Yep, just use the select realm button again, and all your characters should be there where you left 'em.

The City of Heroes/Villains board had a pretty good gag, too. They put up an announcement that all game sounds would be replaced with 'visual sounds' - word balloons of Biff, Bam, Pow, etc. like the old Batman show.
