April Fools: Mini-pet Poop? - On Warcraft Pets

[Mania]

Okay, this has got to be one of the stranger bits of information to come out about the upcoming cataclysm expansion, but ... let's reserve judgement until we see how this plays out, okay?

As always, Warcraft Pets has all the details: http://www.warcraftpets.com/news/perma. ... _even_pets

A snippet for you:

After rave reviews for Perky Pug's rather unorthodox "butt scooting" idle animation, companion pets are being given the ability to, well... relieve themselves in the expansion. I know, I know. It sounds disgusting. But believe it or not, even defecation can be cute...

(And let's keep this thread as .. err .. clean as we reasonably can, please.)

April Fools joke if you ask me.

[Gimlion]

Yeah, personally, any Cata news you here today, Well, I just wouldn't trust/post until it's confirmed... These ALL sound like april Fools jokes. xD

Yeah and if you search the site a bit it is. But it gets tiring clicking all the links just to discover yes it is an april fools joke hahaha.

I don't mind the quirky, obvious jokes like these, but I really hate sites that make something completely believable just to mess with you.

Well blizzard's Jokes started Seemingly Very believable, and April Fools Day or not, people were tempted to believe them, but now, they just are too rediculous to believe

[Saturo]

Gimlion is correct. For example, this is the joke of 2006, the EVIL PATCH! http://www.wowwiki.com/Patch_1.11_(Evil ... wikiaphone
Compare that to Pimp My Mount.

Difference is obvious, ya?

[Gimlion]

I actually thought that the Aquarium was somewhat believable, given it was posted any other day than today... I could see blizz doing something like that, seeing as all characters are able to learn fishing

[Mania]

Yes, this is an April Fools' joke. I've changed the thread title to avoid future confusion.

El's Extreme Anglin' and Warcraft Pets are Petopia's official sister fishing and minipet sites (respectively), so I wanted to highlight what they did for the holiday -- especially since I almost never bother with anything myself.

This is one of the more believable April Fools jokes, given Blizzard's obsession with poop quests...

My favorite joke, though, I think would be the very early "patch notes" that claimed, among other things, that Night Elves would lose experience from jumping. :P

Wait... You write El's anglin'?

[Mania]

Wait... You write El's anglin'?

Oh no no no ... I just meant that I view their sites as similar in many ways to mine, so I think of them as sister sites. (I probably also shouldn't say 'official', since I haven't exactly asked them yet. )
