April 1st Warning (no spoilers)

[Kurasu]

As I am in a European server, our April 1st is 6 hours earlier than yours. So I wan tto let people know this.

Make sure your sound in WoW is turned on.

That is all.

[cowmuflage]

Okay I'll go log on now.....

EDIT: okay seeing as I'm on a Oceania server I'm most likely going to have to wait ti'll the 2nd to see it be put in game what ever it is >.>

[Lupis]

Rofl, this is cracking me up.

[cowmuflage]

I still just get the Darkmoon faire sounds :S Ah well

[AdamSavage]

[Bonita]

I know what youre talking about and it scared the crap out of me when I logged on haha.

[Vephriel]

Hah, I love it. Simple but effective. xD

[cowmuflage]

I still get nothing

[AdamSavage]

lol It's a random sound each time you log in I think. I've had "Bonnnnne ssstorm", "Sooo Soft", "Champions, meet me at the Town Hall at once. We must take the fight to Mal'Ganis."

[AdamSavage]

I still get nothing

Try loading Deadly boss mods.

[Finduilas]

It's so funny, at first I thought Baradin Hold had bugged out but then I asked in trade and all others said they heard various bosses as well, now I only want to logg in and out

[JezzebelPop]

Just a FYI, It's not just on log-in, it happens when you use any sort of transportation method that involves a load screen. I was going nuts during our DS run when I released my spirit after a few wipes to Ultra and Blackhorn, I thought the spirit healer thing was whispering to me.

Then when I was travelling to outland using the portals and such like. Noone in the guild believed me, they thought I was joking. Then the raid leader heard XT's cries when he breaks a toy and they started believing. Someone mentioned April 1st and then I understood everything. :p

[Kurasu]

There were also a couple situations where it happened when I was just walking around or questing. I'm not *completely* sure what's triggering it, but definitely it's loading screens most times.

And yes. I was absolutely cracking *up*. I didn't want to spoil so that people could get a surprise.

Cowmuflage: I'm not sure why it wasn't working, unless it was a DBM joke instead of a Blizzard joke. .... which, you know, would make a weird sort of sense. And which cracks me up, realizing just *how* many people have DBM if that's the case.

[Miyon]

I need to hear this.. xD

[Sukurachi]

I'm pretty sure it's not a Blizzard joke..
the Blizzard April Fool's joke is on their website, and they went to great lengths for it.

Generally, Blizzard keep their April Fool's jokes to their official website. At least, they have so far.

BONESTORM!!!!!!!!!!

*snort*

That one had me laughing so hard I was crying for some reason. Oh man I remember when I was a fresh 80 and my old horde guild (way back when I was horde and not alli) kept dying at that dang boss. I used to have dreams with that battle cry in them just because we always had so much trouble with him. *headdesk*

[meepitco]

I heard "NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO" When I logged in ;n; It killed my ears.

[Aleu]

First thing I heard when I logged on...

"Despair... So delicious."

Log onto my druid for...

"Tiny creatures under feet! You bring Garfrost something good to eat!"
