We need an April Fool event

[Peptaru]

There was an XI site, wiki maybe?, that put up some kind of virus warning on their page for the day.... Iirc it didn't go over well, people were scared.

They give out an item, they warn you that this item is not for your use, and that any one person who uses it on themselves rather then passing on the goodwill (item) to another will suffer a terrible curse.


Item: Cursed Opo Opo hand: Grants the user a 25% run speed bonus and 50% exp bonus for 12 hours

If you use it on yourself your hands become Opo Opo hands for 12 hours... but at least you will be fast! .. no you don't get the exp bonus.

We need an April Fool event

We have one. It went in with the Easter event. In a extravagent conspirecy against you, they told everyone but you, thus making you our fool.

If it was up to me I'd have done the merge on the 31st/1st, then as soon as the first hit, post that they accidentally deleted everyone's chars, but would give everyone a months Free game time in compensation.

thats brutally mean, but it would be great to read all the forums post that spm the forums immediatly.

"Erase" everyone's gil then tell us you can't fix the error because the server doesn't keep track of gil just like how it never kept track of synths for achievements before they were implemented.

Joke is on them, I don't keep enough gil to miss it if it vanishes!

Take things a little further.. for that one day, all Retainers just vanish. You try to call your Retainer? Get the message.. "We're sorry, [Insert Name] has taken a temporary leave of absence to visit [insert some area we dont have in game yet, like something the Minstrel mentions] and leave it that.. then they all reappear the next day. No harm, no foul. People may get a little bent out of shape for it, but its a single day. Hell, we basically lost a full day with the server merge, atleast then we could still play lol

I think SE needs to hold off on the April Fool event. In April 2013 they should send out 100,000,000 gil to our inboxes.....then as soon as we withdraw it, we get a message saying "APRIL FOOLS!". With confetti, of course.
