I'll leave that on for a short bit, then shut the server down for good.

WD, hehe

I was actually looking through the windows files the installer added to look for any significant differences. I have a mac.

I knew it was most likely a gag, but you never know 100%. It would have been awesome.

It may have only been possible for a day. But those memories of jumping cycle wall will stay with me for weeks to come. Hopefully it can be made a permanent feature soon.
Hey, maybe those devs from yesteryear who were testing the server can help with the coding.

Well, the patch DID state...."April fool's day edition!"

Plus, that pic looked way too clean to me. I knew it had to be a render. The way the lighting looked, I knew it couldn't of been the game engine.
Good job tho! Had me going for a bit. lol

haha good one :)


It should have been obvious really, I mean it takes the dev's year to do pointless tiny improvements that dont do anything... as if they could make it 3D in 2008.


Now you have given everyone false hope, you MUST start development on the third dimension.

DAMN YOU ALL!!!! I knew deep inside it was a joke, but you had so many people saying it worked that I thought I was wrong. THIS WAS TERRIBLE UGH!!!!! Even my own clan members were in on it. I must go now to think of some kind of punishment.
The truth is out there.

Taco: The server has already been taken down, so there's no point.
