I can't help thinking it's a daft idea to create an april fool's joke on march 31st. Because March 31st simply isn't April 1st so even if they reveal the joke then it has no validity to me. An april fool's joke has to be done on April 1st or it simply doesn't count. Not to mention having people pause other characters in order to create a daimon would be a frustrating exercise in futility that messes things up for a lot of realms if this isn't for real.
I really hope it isn't just a joke that leaves people with a bunch of adventurers because that's a sure fire way to aggravate people who paused otherwise useful characters, lost units, lost positions, for nothing.
