Also, they've redone the WoW PvP system. Now, you play Warcraft III.

Quote:You've all seen the sneak-peek articles of the upcoming Player vs. Player Battlegrounds system in our recent web previews. We're now taking Battlegrounds in an entirely new direction. Many players noted that the Battlegrounds resemble some aspects of Warcraft 3. Then it hit us; Why reinvent the wheel? Why waste resources on a project we've already developed and perfected?

The completely redesigned (and yet still very familiar) Battlegrounds system will allow us to better focus our efforts on creating game features that players really want, such as ordering various types of food in-game! You can see a preview of some upcoming intense Battleground PvP combatâ„¢ here.

We will continue to refine the implementation of this system over the coming year(s). You can view initial test gameplay screenshots of the Player vs. Player combat system below:

Heh, that's pretty cool.


/panda! - OB1 - 1st April 2005

Haha!


/panda! - Dark Lord Neo - 1st April 2005

I write about this in the Starcraft 2 thread and does anybody care? no, ABF makes a thread for it and suddenly it's like OMGBBQ!

April 1, 2005: Today, Dark Lord Neo showed actual emotion. I believe it was anger.

Because I posted more than a link, I bet. :)


/panda! - Dark Jaguar - 1st April 2005

Why don't they make delivery boys dress like this?

It would sure eliminate any delays in food delivery, with extreme prejudice!


/panda! - Smoke - 3rd April 2005

That's awesome.

When Blizzard announce Starcraft 2 they should do it on April 1st.


/panda! - A Black Falcon - 3rd April 2005

Yeah. :)

... hey, they've had April Fools jokes come true before...


/panda! - OB1 - 3rd April 2005

Like what?


/panda! - A Black Falcon - 3rd April 2005

The Pandaren unit, of course!


/panda! - Dark Jaguar - 4th April 2005

Well actually the joke was that it was an entire race. They only had the unit added due to popularity.

The joke that came true in it's ENTIRETY was the one about the gobling alchemist riding an ogre. The other one about a two-headed ogre playable race (with two players controlling one body) didn't come true at all, but that would be hilarious.


/panda! - A Black Falcon - 4th April 2005

Who knows, they could add a two-headed ogre playable race to WoW... :)

And sure, the Pandaren joke was about a race, but adding a Pandaren unit... it made the joke true! Yeah, it was because of how popular the Pandarens got... but still, it's pretty awesome that Blizz is cool enough to add a unit to their game just because an April Fools Day joke became really popular.


/panda! - Smoke - 4th April 2005

I still want the expansion pack, World of Warcraft: Revenge of the Pandaren.

In the end they get drunk and forget what they were getting revenge for.


/panda! - alien space marine - 4th April 2005

I bet we would see classes like Brewmeister and Drunken Boxer!

It would be weird to have a gauntlet glass , No swords,No clubs or anything like that , Just bare knuckles and fist the most would be a Gauntlet.



I bet they would add kegging and beer making as a job class too!


/panda! - A Black Falcon - 4th April 2005

Yeah... Pandarens and Two-Headed Ogres. Fun! :)


/panda! - Dark Jaguar - 4th April 2005

Hey only the Brewmasters drink!

...

Seriously, why not a geomancer?

I'll just leave this here.

Whelp, WoW had a good run.


/panda! - A Black Falcon - 26th October 2011

Playable Pandarens in WoW sounds pretty cool. :) And they started as an April Fools' joke, too...


/panda! - Dark Jaguar - 26th October 2011

Huh.... So they've pretty much given up taking the story seriously at this point? What's left for Warcraft 4?
