Well, we're 1 week away from April Fools. Given that every year(at least for the last several) Blizzard likes to do fun and creative april fools content up on their website, anyone wanna take any guesses what we might see this year?

I'm guessing given the Starcraft 2 and Diablo 3 announcements, it'll likely have something to do with them rather than WoW this time.

Maybe an announcement saying Battle.net is going to become pay for play for both games? Given their recent announcements about SC2 I could see a great number of people actually falling for it.

General Sidenote: I really hope they don't make battle.net pay for play at some point in the future :)

For a kind of "I know that she knows that I know" spin on their April Fool's joke, Since everyone is expecting something, they should announce a MASSIVE project that everyone would kill for and would seem almost impossibly good. Then they should let it drop off as a joke. After a few months reveal that it is real.

I doubt they will do anything console-wise at all, unless it's to say they are working for consoles now. My bet is on a few SC2 units and a Diablo III boss or story.
