The Daily Grind: What do you think we'll see for April Fool's news?

It's that time of year again. Tomorrow is April Fool's, which means that by and large, some of the news you will see will be true and some of it will be false. Luckily most of what we've seen in the last few years has been ridiculously obvious - like how our sister site WoW insider became Hello Kitty Online Insider for a day. There again, we are already being accused of trying to pull April Fools jokes, such as this comment on the Runes of Magic forums. (We guarantee you that our post from yesterday about RoM is legit, xReloaded.) That said, before all the craziness starts, we thought we'd ask you - what kind of things do you think we will see as April fools news tomorrow? Are there any games or companies that you think will be more likely to do pranks than others? How about yearly April fool's jokes? What do you think we will see there? Or are you planning to stay off the Internet until everyone regains their sanity again?

I fully expect to walk into a T4 RvR lake in WAR and get the chicken noise followed by a "April Fools" message just as the PvP timer runs out.

I'm just looking forward to WoW's incredible news, that will profoundly traumatise the community and send it into fits of retard rage.

I'm thinking NCsoft could totally fool it's playerbase by releasing a letter that touted their “new ideology on commitment to it’s subscribers”

Let's see.... City of Heroes has said that Issue 14 will be going live 'Soon' and that a free respec will be happening sometime in the next few days. Wouldn't it be nice if they decided to have both happen at once with no warning as an "April Fools day' joke?

In LoTRO we ended up as Level 1 chickens (you know... the white clucking bird) in the level 60 PvP area, the Ettenmoors, trying to make it from one side of the map to the other with the evil side determined to eat us and the good side trying to herd us over the entire map.
I did it, and have a "Fool" title to go with it.
It was a hoot.
