Once again, we have fake WoW patch notes, which we have reported in detail in our Patch 9.0.5.0.5 Early Draft notes post. Sorry :(īlizzard has, as usual, released some April Fools jokes! We had some site invasions, as well - On the site end, we had a special April Fools Goblin Rocket that would slowly take over our menus! This is how our site menus looked like once the takeover was complete:Īnd on Discord, Perculia's cat, Brightpaw, had finally gone rogue! All Staff members were changed to Brightpaw, and we even included a giveaway for 5 kittens! We did give away 5 Brightpaw store pets, but no, we were not giving away real kittens. Goblin Rocket Site Takeover and Brightpaw Discord Takeover We even came up with a fighting scene between Lich King Pepe and the Demon Hunter Pepe from A Tiny Set of Warglaives, and we believe that both Pepes would try to pass that fight as if they won it. A lot of special detail went on her right eye scar, to emulate the one given to her by Saurfang at their mak'gora just right.Īnd of course, now a staple to our April Fools jokes, we had to create another Pepe! This time we came up with, which would transform Pepe into the Lich King. It could be, though! Blizzard, we have the assets! Pandarens were once an April Fools joke, ball's on your court! Let's make another one happen!Īnother controversial take we tried to pull on this April Fools was a lore enthusiast's existential nightmare, a Redeemed Sylvanas! Her model was loosely based off her Warcraft III: Reforged Ranger-General Model and went through many iterations to look just right. We are sad to announce that Reverence is, unfortunately, not real. Reverence was so well done it did have a lot of people fooled, including WoW's most popular streamer, Asmongold. However, the biggest star of the Mawsworn faction would be their special mount reward - An undead version of Anduin's horse, Reverence! We created database pages for the item itself ( ), a grave for the horse ( ), and spent a lot of time on creating the horse model itself! So, why not betray your own Covenant and join the Mawsworn? Maybe Sylvanas was right, all along! We created the Sworn to the Mawsworn achievement, to show how easy it would be to betray your Covenant. Since their inception on beta, Covenants have been a controversial system, mostly due to how hard it can be to swap them around. Mawsworn Faction and Undead Reverence Mount We'll try to make sure he doesn't escape for next year. The Wowhead team loves their April Fools, and this may have been our best year yet! You can check all our April Fools content in great detail in our 9.0.9 PTR Build 38421 post.Īs usual, this took our datamining mastermind Stiven and associate songzee over a month of work, culminating on his very own secret datamining stream, which you can watch below! This is why we keep him in a cage, guys. Blizzard April Fools History (2016 and before).Looking for more April Fools related content? You can check our past April Fools spotlights!
