Is it just me or does Blizzard have a thing for taking awesome and incredible ideas and making them April Fools jokes?

I'd totally play Westfall Trail.

Also:

Where In Sanctuary is Deckard Cain?

Oh no! Uncle Deckard got lost while compiling notes for the Book of Cain! Help Leah find her uncle by solving puzzles and collecting clues about the vast world of Sanctuary. (Rated M for Mature)

I find it funny that only a few ours ago you and Verdande were clashing over Lordaerinian refugees.

Blizzard confirmation that I'm right. Official proof that Stormwind is populated by Lordaeroni.

If I was Bioware or Valve I'd strike back by announcing a Mass Effect DLC or a Half-Life 3 demo starring a race of squirrels who practice martial arts, or an "updated" version of Half-Life 1 that's inferior to the original.

That's the best thing I've seen all week.

Bravo Blizzard. You are the best.

Not necessarily. Consider that the Oregon trail was a historical game. The journey from Lordaeron to Westfall could be the original one taken by the lords of Strom (which stretched over most of the continent of Lordaeron) to the at the time untamed frontier of what would later be Stormwind and Westfall.

You know ? It would actually be pretty cool if Warcraft 1&2 were re-released.

The Wowhead news post actually has me kind of depressed. Some of those ideas seem legitimately cool, especially the last one.

Fun fact: SCII lead writer and friend-of-the-site Brian Kindregan previously worked for Bioware on the first two Mass Effect games before joining Blizzard.

Okay, I admit. I'd buy one if it were real.

There was another hidden April's fool at 1 a.m. in Germany - at least I think so - suddenly Deathwing called to me inside of the Undercity saying "Madness will engulf you" and shortly afterwards the Mistress of Hate said "I hate incompetent raiders". I almost jumped at that. Funny it was English although I am playing on EU-Alexstrasza with the German game version. . .

Ah, that's why I was hearing voices this morning. I thought it was DBM going wonky.
