Guild Wars 2

I bought this game last night.
I downloaded it this morning.
I have the day off. It is not April quite yet. I go into work tomorrow and it will be April.

Being brand-new to the game, I would like to be able to play it. Even more-so now since I just spent the money on it. I have played other MMOs that celebrate April 1st and they do so in ways that are amusing for a couple of minutes and THEN YOU MOVE ON.

This is unplayable, and honestly since I have to go back into work tomorrow, I do not know how soon I’ll have the chance to play again without other RL things getting in the way. Frankly, it puts me on the fence about just pursuing a refund, even if it’s only for a day. The sheer irritation of this “prank” makes the game unplayable, at the least for anyone new to it, and makes me question whether or not I really want to invest my free time (and money) here.

Please reconsider this course of action. At the very least with something like this you ought to give us some means of toggling “Airplane Mode,” and similar things of this nature, to OFF.

Thank you.
