World of Warcraft Pimps April Fools' Day

April 1, 2009 7:58 AM

Esteemed developer Blizzard Entertainment kicked off April Fools' Day with word that World of Warcraft may soon add a new "Pimp My Mount" customization feature. "Tired of your mount looking like every other raptor, wolf, horse, kodo, or nightsaber out there? Then Z to the A to the zzber (whew, that's a mouthful!) will be glad to welcome you to his shop where you can epic-ize your mount with some phat total pimpage!"

Given that Blizzard has a rich history of embracing April Fools' Day, let's chalk this one up to a celebration of the holiday. But it is World of Warcraft, so you never really know...

As I said previously, I dearly hope this is just the European team doing a shit job of it. Blizzard is so much better than this poor, obvious attempt at humour.

  Totally agree. I never imagined it possible that Blizzard would disappoint me. :(

    no, but the overall delivery of the joke is sad and about 3-4 years late.
