And yeah, it would be hilarious if Blizzard announced something real in among all the fake stuff. Or just plainly announced something real.

Moreover, with Blizzard's past and it's present, why in the world would anyone think this many things announced on April 1st would be real? I don't understand why people would think three major things would be announced on the same day, let alone April First, and it be real.
To avoid any confusion, I'd think if Blizzard was actually going to release info, it would be April 2nd, if they HAD to do it at the start of April.

The name itself is pretty cool, "The Archivist". I could see the Archivist from DnD kind of making a statement here.
Basically, The Archivist in Dungeons and Dragons could learn any spells he wanted, be it Divine, Nature, or Arcane, and he could cast them whenever. The Archivist was as frail as a wizard, but he was a lot more intelligent and crazed. He could do more than a Wizard could with spells, also.

It seems like this year, all the April fools jokes were poorly thought out and rather stupid. They seemed like immature things four or five year olds would think up, and not actual legitamate attempts at foolery. Most of Blizzard's past stuff rang true on April Fools, but was just too iffy to be real.
The BlackThorne online thing is just ridiculous, the Terra-tron just makes me angry like "Yeah, now I know why Starcraft 2 isnt out yet. They waste their time making stupid ass jokes with the in-game engine rather than finishing it" and the Archivist -seemed- real, until you read the backstory and even watch the videos. They also stole the "Shush" animation from the "Wail of the Banshee" spell from Baldur's gate, I forgot if it was 1 or 2 though. I did actually smirk at the fact they portrayed him as some book studier with absolutely no health though who was able to do some crazy things and then just die in half a hit and look pathetic... Obviously a joke, it was still kind of funny.
Overall, I may be negative, but I just thought the april fool's jokes were incredibly bland, unfunny, unimaginative, and stupid. Also, if you noticed, I didn't touch the WoW dance pad one. That's because that was so abhorrently fake and stupid I couldnt even really read about it or look at the screenshots. It wasn't funny -at all-, especially the "So you think you can /dance?"... That made me cringe.
