i still think that every april fools that he returns to be a playable character...what do you guys think?
Nah. Blizzard always come up with interesting April Fools jokes like this and they're all pretty interesting and outrageous, but they never go so far as to reuse them much. I think blizzard will be announcing some new stupid stuff next april fools regarding Diablo III, not just recycling the same.
And yeah, I'm really used to all of blizzard's april fools jokes, but I wonder how many people actually thought the Archivist was real? Surely they all caught on, I mean, it was pretty blatant I thought. The whole internet seems to be out to get you on april fools, it makes it hard to not notice that date

Well I honestly thought he was real because it would (kind of) fit into the D2 world, i mean who heard of guessed of a witch doctors before?, and i thought they showed him blowing up to introduce a new death mechanic, but anyway, with so many character classes made(7 from the last game that they don't want to recycle...yet) they do have to dig deep so as to make sure every class feels unique (like the wizard and sorceress), or the witch doctor(and most likely) later to be introduced necro
and as a side note....yeah blizzard totally had me :-[
Some people are new to blizzard pulling these pranks. They do it every year sure, but each new year brings in new fans.
Over half my guild on WOW didn't even know that blizzard did this every year. They were quite startled to say the least. Most were amazed by the thought and detail that went into it. To which I explained that was rather the point, to entice you into thinking it might be real.
This is not helped when Blizzard tries to pull a fast one by announcing stuff on March 31st like they did two years ago.

-Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's First Law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one, and only, truth.
I only briefly watched the archivist page, and when I got to the bottom I saw that screenshot with all lines he'd say - and understood what I was dealing with
I thought they just showed some shots of Beta fill-in dialogs, I did read it late night after a long day of work and school, then didn't give it much attention again until i went back to the website for updates and saw he wasn't there( I thought i either had a realistic dream and was crazy)
They had me fooled at first, I was pretty much thinking "Wow, a librarian... I don't think I'm going to play this class...". Then I got a good laugh when I saw his skills and remembered it was April Fool's.

If anyone wants it, I have the flash file for the archivist, but read the rules before you do anything with it.
