This is funny as is, but to really relish the humor you must be an insider, a gamer, or at least an MMO gamer. Earlier this year there was much hoopla around the release of a competing MMO, well potentially: Turbine's MMO, The Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO). For one thing, the graphics were touted as "more realistic" than the "cartoony" graphics of WoW. And indeed, they were/are. It's really quite a lovely gamescape. However, the game itself is both derivative of WoW, and well, doofy.
And one of the doofiest aspects is the character class choices. One of the character classes you have the option to roll is the minstrel, i.e., the bard. His offensive weapon (pun intended) is his lute. Oh yeah, I kid you not. I know, I rolled one and played it for about 10 days. If the game were free I'd probably still be playing it, but I just didn't find it compelling enough or different enough to continue on a monthly subscription.
So... lol... It's April 1st, April Fool's Day, and we all know Blizz can't resist a holiday. And thus we have today's winner, the new class, the bard. ROFLMAO!
