Lemme see if i got this right. We get demon summoning on April 1st. And the message when you launch it says "Get Demon-Summoning with the launch of Issue 17,"

April is the month that DS is available, no specific date was given.

Perhaps as an April Fooling. My money is on the 27th; the last Tuesday of April.

Closed beta friends and family starts for Going Rogue this coming week. I'd have to think the other test server is for the rest of us lunatics to test out Demon Summoning and Issue 17... soon(tm).


Thank you, City of Heroes, for giving me a superhero social network combined with amazingly smooth game play. Petitions signed with realistic expectations.

I17 hasn't had an open beta. Since I17 and Going Rogue aren't linked, one would assume I17 will have an open beta before it goes live.

I think the date in the topic title is all we need to know about this >.>

Google is famous for it. Guess when Gmail was announced?

Although I don't believe it to be the case here, the trick could be a double bluff; announce something possible, but improbable, will occur on the first of April. Then, after everyone had dismissed it as an April Fools prank, follow though with the plan.

And then there's situations like Think Geek, a few of their joke products have gone on to become real merchandise (the Tauntaun Sleeping Bag, for example)

I used to fiddle with my back feet music for a black onyx. My entire room absorbed every echo. The music was . . . thud like. The music was . . . thud like. I usually played such things as rough-neck and thug. Opaque melodies that would bug most people. Music from the other side of the fence.

This. A painfully obvious one at that.

T. S. Eliot, actually - we did that poem in school - it was...different - I still don't know if I get it

Give the guys more credit. We'll have a far more humorous April Fools announcement than this.

Just remember, the Devs love to pull a believable gag on April Fool's Day, so no matter what they post, take it tongue in cheek. Unless, you know, a patch comes down the pipe, and it actually happens. Then I'm, like, totally wrong.

That's another reason too - Google might make genuine April 1st announcements, but CoH is already known for its fake April 1st announcements among quite a few of its players.

Is this thread supposed to be a "pull april fools joke on the nubs" type deal?

The thread Two Ways of Get Going Rogue answers this Q doesn't it?

Or has new official, as in redname, information been posted on the forums?

edit: wait a minute....I answered my own Q right?

hahaha very good.

I'm guessing they're gonna flesh out the Clown Summoning joke from PAX East a little more...
