Is this an April Fools Joke?  I can't tell because I've already been tricked 3 times today, and it's only 12:44 AM!  Another 23 hours to go!  /cry

If it was true, then why haven't SOE announced it on the EQ2 website or anything?  All we have is a press release, with no source, posted on April 1st.

The best April fool I've seen this year is Blizzard claiming the new WoW alliance race is going to be wisps.  They have a racial ability where they explode, causing massive damage and permanant death. What's even better is all the people on the WoW forums threatening to leave the game over it.

Not everyone raids. SOE will have a hard time selling this if this is true.

But, I believe this is yet another april fools joke from a fansite.

It was supposed to simulate someone falling off a turnip truck.

Comes from a old saying "Do I look like I just fell off a turnip truck?", when someone tries to con you.

100%? No, there's always the ridiculous chance I made up something that they're actually doing...
 
But I somehow doubt that :p.
