Tomorrow is April 1st, April Fool's Day, a long, long time ago, in order to bring more game fun to the majority of players, the operation team of the ninth city and World of Warcraft contributed a lot of good-natured jokes to players every April Fool's Day, including many new game content development ideas, which made players stunned.
Let's recall the April Fool's joke of that year, do you believe it?
1. New race - two-headed ogre
On April Fool's Day 2004, World of Warcraft announced a very peculiar class, the two-headed ogre, since it has 2 heads, a character that will be operated by 2 players together. Does this seem unbelievable? Blizzard swore to teach everyone how to play.
"When a head is upgraded, his HP is added to the ogre's total hp."
"Below your avatar in the interface is your companion, and the head he operates goes to sleep after he goes offline. His vocational skills turned gray. ”
"Twice the head means twice as much happiness."
2. Panda people food delivery service
On April Fool's Day 2005, Blizzard announced that it would launch a "Panda Man Themed Restaurant", where players could enter /panda in World of Warcraft to order Chinese food, and a Panda Man would come to the door within 30 minutes.
If your food is not delivered to your home within 30 minutes by a panda man dressed staff, then your food will be free! ”
3. New race - elves
In 2006, it became known that Blizzard was working on its first expansion: Burning Expedition. Blizzard suddenly announces the new Alliance race in the expansion pack as Pokemon, with racial talents as:
Self-Detonation: Destroy the pokemon, disperse the buff on all units in the surrounding area, and draw 50 mana from the unit that was blown up.
Collector: Herbology, Mining, and Peeling skills increased by 10.
Tree Form: The pokemon transforms into a tree for up to 30 seconds. During this time, the elf's spirit increases by 300 points, but the dodge and parry chance of axe attacks is reduced by 50%.
They even attached photos of the test, a joke that probably deceived the most people that year. That night I excitedly went back to my dorm room to tell my college roommates that the new race for World of Warcraft TBC was the elves.
Moreover, elves can "die forever". All pokemon possess this racial skill that is powerful enough to destroy Archimonde. The self-detonation skill causes the elf to sacrifice himself to generate an explosion that draws mana from all surrounding enemies and allies. This will provide a fun new experience for many adventurers, especially those who love PvP! ”
