APRIL FOOLS (In-Game Prank by ArenaNet)

Hey guys,

Some may have noticed that their characters have had a most interesting change .

I logged on my male ranger only to find out that it was a female!! LOL
Some other people characters have also undergone this change (male to female and vice versa).

GG ANET, you made me LOL.

*Note - Changes are NOT happening in Kaineng

Before -
After -

LOL. My ritualist is now a bald man. Too funny. I love it.

Changes are happening in LA and Kamadan, but not Kaineng for some reason.

ZOMG TAKE SS!

Shing Jea is affected as well.

Screens or it never happened.

ROFL. Yeah it's really funny.

It's a good chance to take screenies of your char, as they walk on the other side.

On a side note, I wonder if this is a prelude to some kinda hairdresser, As each character is unique and not just a remodel of the one skin.

ROFL!!!! GG ANet. Everyone take screenshots of your character's sex changes while you can

Talk about gender issues... Didn't one used to have to go to Sweden for an operation like this?

the female is the original,i wish they could make the change permanent
male Fow>female fow

OMG, now there will be an insane amount of female wammos!

I seriously can't wait to get home and take some screenies! GG, Anet!

Some how, I think this will start a new wave of people demanding hair stylists and what not since Anet previously said it was impossible and now this...


I always thought male fow looked like a retarded chicken, but to each his own..

Guys, post your shots in Christie's thread over here:

Most of my characters look like crap as men (especially my warrior and Canthan ranger, who got "old man" faces). Necro and rit look okay, though...

LOL! When I saw this change, I must have said so many swears... i thought it was a weird glitch! Haha! Good one anet!

Normally:

Damn, my necro looks much more fun now. Please, A-Net, let me keep him as a male!

Amusing little event, but since it shows everyone how easily they can modify the character files, I have to wonder.



I know it's been long debated here as to if ArenaNet has the ability to simply change character features such as hair style (the argument people seem to have against the hair stylist being added to the game) and those folks who do know about coding have been trying to explain to them that each piece of the character is simply saved on the servers as a small string of data that re-creates the character each time you load them and colors them appropriately.

Since they've pretty much showed how easily they can allow changes with the characters (with this April Fools joke) do you think it will change the people's minds who are insistent that the characters are saved as solid image files that take up gigs upon gigs of space and editing such a file would require countless hours of work and as such ArenaNet has a valid reason for ignoring all the requests for a hair stylist?

If so, do you think we might get one soon?

dont you dare to mock the power of retarded chickens...
anyway here is my monkey

now i can finally join the the grotto rainbow crew

Same armor and the hair color is the same, etc. All I think Anet did was a little bit-twiddlin'...
