This is exactly what I thought.
This is the first "news" type site I've hit today and I didn't realize it was April 1st until I read this post. Luckily they're not selling to IGE though! lol
I'm a woman, but all this pink is driving me crazy. Flowers and hearts do not go well with MMO's.
As soon as I saw the part about shifting to the female aspect of gaming, I knew it was a joke. We are still very much a minority in the MMORPG world, unfortunately.
Nice April Fool's, though. Reminds me of the one Wizards.com did last year with the "My Little Pony Roleplaying Game." Sad thing is my 7-yr-old daughter was actually excited by the prospect...
Well, time to go switch the color scheme back to normal before I go insane.
All you have to do guys, is scroll down to the bottom of the website page and select from the theme selection . Its up to you how you want to view your page . There are four choices So more more pink , your eye balls are saved. For me I am keep the pages pink, just for today its driving my sons nuts lol
Well, as "on of the 5 girls" who visit this site, had this not been a bad joke i too would have been disappointed and disgusted. Just to let you "guys" know, not all girls like pink, flowery foofoo stuff, i for one can't stand the color. Ok that's this "girls" side of thing....Later.
This actually brings up a good point, why not have multi skins? I`m not the biggest fan of pink, but after looking at gloomy dark navy blue for so long I actually welcome the change. So, as it seems they have the ability to skin the whole site on a whim and still have the original, why not have say ten color and style themes to pick from? Or better yet, give us a little toolset to customize the look ourselves, an MMORPG sandbox, well of the website variety.

Am excellent Apriil Fool's joke!
Has a Class Action Lawsuit been filed yet for all of us with burned retinas from all the pink or do we have to wait for Monday?
On a lighter note, My 16yo daughter may actually visit this site now.
