The first of April approaches...


I suggest that, for the ONE day of April 1 only, the old server broadcast of a Stormreaver success or failure be put back into the game, and possibly added to other raids as well.


It'll be nostalgic, for those of us who were around then, it'll be a laugh for anyone who never saw it the first time, and it will give quite a noticable 'reward' for failing the Reaver... Enough that some of us might go in solo for a laugh :D



Likewise, we could consider adding (just for the day) a world broadcast whenever anyone slays Muck, or some other joke miniboss early in the game. "Heroes of the world rejoice! The great hero asdfasdf and his companions have slain the vile slime Muck and put an end to his campaign of world sewer domination..."

I really wish they'd moved the broadcast to the chat window.. A single line there in red for the Reaver and other raids wouldn't be the hassle the center-screen business was.. not that I minded that too much.

Better yet, make it a separate check-box in your channel options.. so people who don't want even that wont see it.. like DM Text...

Anythign that makes the world seem dynamic and full of people is good. /signed

Yep, the broadcast was annoying. Annoying, but in a funny way, just like the best of pranks.

Kind of like this - probably the best prank ever.
