I hate it when I fall for these. Awesome prank, though. Totally believable.

Please fix it so that we can pause the characters that we just created. I can't play the game now because I can't pause my demon/advy.

Ah wait, i can just delete him.

Can I have the flavor text back to remind me that my character believes that he is a daimon?  That should be quite fun if daimons ever come back on Beluaterra.

The REAL April fool's joke is that some of the Daimons actually are totally real Daimons.

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.

It was probably April first somewhere in the Pacific.

Maybe you can put this in a "to do" list Tim.

We would love to be able to create Daimons, and we don't even need that much options.

Every April Fool's joke Tom plays winds up being a really interesting idea. I think the Courtier class started off as one, didn't it?

But yeah, the Daimon thing, I would venture to guess, is not ever going to happen.

Something that could actually be really interesting, to have a player-run Beluaterra invasion where the daimons are actually a player realm.

What's to prevent you from creating a character now and playing it as a daimon in disguise? Sure, no special powers, but if you're consistent, there's no real reason you couldn't.

I can't help thinking it's a daft idea to create an april fool's joke on march 31st.

The real joke was that we were honest about it being just a human with normal human adventurer abilities on march 31st. It was on April 1st that your daimonic abilities were supposed to kick in - and didn't.

And we've done this before, playing with the date a bit because everyone expects an April Fools on april 1st.
