I do not see advertisements while searching the forums. I suggest that the prank for today is the removal of forum ads for everyone, even the people who have not paid to remove ads. (unless there was some announcement I missed or do not remember about the forums becoming ad free?)

But seriously this is just another in a long line of poorly researched, badly written, lazy attempts.

It really is starting to look like there won't be an April Fools Event today. It's a bit sad, but F/S will be better for the game than a silly event.

I had a thought that either the technical team had genuinely run out of new ideas for the event (which since 2012 has to be a mini-game), or the priorities have shifted towards finishing Frontiers and Strongholds, which is definitely not related to April Fools' Day.

I'll rather have F/S be released on the date they said then to have an april fools event, pushing the release date for F/S.

The April Fool’s Day prank is that it will actually happen tomorrow, where we will get Frontiers and Strongholds. Except it won’t be “Frontiers and Strongholds”, it’ll be “Wyomings and Ohios”. It was always Wyomings and Ohios.

Or rather, they brought back the pranks by not doing a minigame.

Remember the 2003-2011 pranks.

I mean, we would joke about this for years up until the actual game/prank was revealed. Always a 'back pocket' scenario but tough to use it more than once.
