April Fools!

April Fools!

We hope you enjoyed our April Fools' Day jokes this year! If you missed them, check out this year's pranks:

And so, the Blizzard Joke Squad go galumphing back whence they came, hiding amid the slithy toves that gyre and gimble in the wabe, busily plotting and scheming for the future. See you again next year!

Ok, there are clues to find April Fools jokes.
For the dung: They called it tomb of IMMORTAL darkness.
For the patch: 4.1.11, isnt that a strange number, 1 april 2011.
But I didnt found a clue for Crabby, if you found it reply me plzzz.

great joke this year guys XD but like 99% of people i would love to see The Tomb of Immortal Darkness actually make it into the game and Crabby the dungeon helper would actually be perfect because people of all ages play this game and it would help them :D

Nice Job, Jabberwocks.

I'd say you did well on this one, but pranks are meant to be funny, not disappointing. I, along with a lot of other players wish you had implemented Crabby. Perhaps you yet will... :)

THX Blizz for the biggest laugh I've had in ages!!

I'd also like to second Aldara's suggestion from the 4.1.11 patch page for a special to-scale 'fluffy white kitten' mount, especially for the taurens XD perhaps just for one day?

BEWARE THE RISE OF CRABBY!!

@Dimitrij: Usually I dont have a go when someone states opinions, but yeah, I dont like your opinion just there :|. So, next patch no-one should be allowed to do the new bosses? :D?

@Dimitrij: I agree with presidium, it's player attitudes like that, that spoil the game for a lot of people. if your a hardcore raiding guild hand picking players fair enough, but a general statement like that saying if your new and haven't had a try to learn it then don't bother playing is a bit harsh. I am sure you didn't watch a tactic video for every boss encounter in every dungeon and every raid that has ever been made? WoW should be for enjoying and having fun, not blocking people out and telling them they shouldn't be doing things to progress without wasting half their lives watching tactics videos, I remember the days when there were not any videos and you went and you figured it out as you went along, and it was very rewarding to down various bosses whilst working out what had to be done. There is far to much of that attitude around now and it is very sad to see.
