    fix the sentence "An article in the Wall Street Journal announced that SOE has been in talks with Blizzard and Blizzard is set to purchase World of Warcraft franchise for $125 Billion dollars!", it's supposed to be sell instead of purchase.

    April Fool's jokes are supposed to be subtle- not blatantly obvious.

    fail.

    Might be somewhat believable if the article didn't say "Blizzard is going to buy World Of Warcraft".......

    but yeah, to call this game Fantastic is like calling Twilight the Godfather of vampire movies....

    A more interesting variant would have been "Blizzard to buy SWG from SOE and release classic servers that are pre NGE"

    I clicked to see what goof video you had linked to. I was expecting "Hitler reacts to..." or a Rickroll.

    Oh, THAT would have been cruel.

     

    A Pokemon-style battle system for vanity pets would have worked well, I think. A LOT of people would have fallen for that.
