April Fools' Day 2009

Example of Character in Gwen-chan form

The 1st day of April, 2009, known as April Fools' Day, was celebrated in all cities, mission locations, and outposts. During the day all player characters level 2 and higher in these locations looked like Gwen-chan.

Notes

• Only a few emote commands have corresponding animations:
  • /afk
  • /beckon
  • /cheer
  • /clap
  • /fistshake
  • /flute (accompanied by a flute melody)
  • /point
  • /rank
  • /sit
  • /stand
  • /zrank
• Walking backwards, or slower than normal (for instance on the ice in Marhan's Grotto/Frozen isle) in this form caused the character to skip as Gwen does.
• Using a Form or Disguise did not change the appearance of the character.
• Exiting to an explorable area or mission removed the effect.
• Level one players were not affected.
• Due to how low to the ground Gwen-chan stands, zooming into first-person view caused your screen to view partly under the ground, creating some strange visual side-effects when moving.
