Obviously no one has had a chance to log in and check yet but I'm gunna hazard a guess that these very bare patch notes might be a cover for an April Fool prank by CCP.

Kind of. The main problem was that it stopped being a joke three years later…

Whats funny is that none of you checked your redeemable items after logging in.

Thanks CCP. Big smile

They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake.

I now have a loud "dinging' sound whenever I press my spacebar key.....





Thanks CCP.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Is this the sound?

Shocked

Once you realize what a joke everything is, being the comedian is the only thing that makes sense.

looking at all the threads going up in F&I, they are being very subtle about it... or they don't have april fools in iceland.

edit: looking at the F&I threads, i HOPE they have it...

No, but the new order CODE folk tend to treat every day as April fool's day and act accordingly.

This is not a signature.

I don't imagine the April Fools joke thing going down well on a Viking long boat in the past.

You know it's all fun and games until someone gets and axe lodged in his skull.

Hint... push the exit button, in your Captains Quarters, five times to find out what the patch did. Idea

a.k.a. the Captain's Closet. That place you go when you click the blue "Enter Captain's Quarters" button in Station Services.

It was the crown jewel of a really successful role-playing expansion a couple years ago.

OK, so I log in, and browser bookmarks don't appear on the Neocomm anymore. Click the "E" (neocomm menu) at the top, hover over accessories and another menu opens, hover over Browser bookmarks. Yesterday I had a list of Bookmarks open up, today I don't.

Oh Wait -

I get it! It's an April Fool's Joke. CCP BROKE things, then posted a message saying they FIXED things.

They probably have changed all the sounds to the sounds villagers make in minecraft.

But since everybody plays with the sound off nobody noticed.
