April Fool's Day is a strange occassion. Every year, it just seems to get worse. This is especially in online gaming circles. It seems that game developers just can't resist playing jokes on the community. Perhaps this is their payback, for all the ranting about nerfs and whatnot. Considering all the complaining I've done about Guild Wars, in love of course, I had a feeling I'd be a target today. Sure enough, an unsual thing happened on the way through Lion's Arch.
This is what my character normally looks like.
This is what happened today.
I have to say, I find myself strangely attractive. Ha... I look good as a pale, pigtailed, pyro, gothic chick. Apparently, your character's gender was reversed if you entered Lion's Arch or Kamadan, Jewel of Istan. I'm not sure why Kaineng Center was excluded. Anyway, you can see how my armor stayed the same. There's probably a database value that determines a character's gender. It looks like ArenaNet decided to flip that value for an April Fool's Day prank.
