Petitions on the battle.net boards!

Well, as everyone have noticed it, the three newstopics on batle.net were obviously fake and thus their April's Fool Joke. Although the 0.999=1 (or whatever) joke was kinda lame, the other two had certain potential to be a interesting concept to be put into their games. The promise of additional neutral heroes/creep models/sounds/icons being added through patches seems quite interesting and just the thing to keep the game alive! Not to mention that some people here on the boards favor the goblins mucho because of their destructive yet funny way of causing havoc ^_^ Long live the goblin Tinker!

The other joke was about the ogre and the ability to have a character which is controlled by two players. Of course it sounds odd at first, but it can be a potential feature in a MMoRPG that could make WoW different then other MMoRPG's. Lets face it: how many MMoRPGS did you not have seen with almost the identical procedures of playing? All what would make WoW different from the others would be its stronghold on a large fanbase. If you take a look at Ultima Online ( old succesfull MMoRPG) you will notice that their features are most vast and interesting: how come that in like countless computer years the genre MMoRPG did not evolve (except on graphical lvl)regarding the way of playing the game?

Even if the concept "sounds" dumb or even suffers from technical limitations, it is still interesting nontheless and would be just the thing that the dull genre of MMoRPG need! What the new MMoRPGs in development need are new ways of playing the game, be that in a twoheaded ogre with another player or a metal gear solid - way of sneaking /breaking in a heavily guarded vault with another player during the night, not just a polishing up in graphics regarding the old -=whack monster with others-get stronger =- concept (There are some rpg's that offer new ways of playing, but I doubt they will get much success in this crowded market without a pre-existing fanbase).

Therefore sign the petitions now to make the jokes into reality! You got nothing to lose, so even if you are not going to buy WoW or play TFT, just sign for both petitions on their boards! ^_^ It is good to know that a concept will be in the game thanks to the joint effort of all people and your contribution!

I hope one or both of them come true, i wish i could post on both, but for some reason they won't accept my cd key.
