Toys turning tables on Imperials and Rebels alike?  It may sound like a bad joke, but <a href="http://starwarsgalaxies.station.sony.com/players/index.vm"><em>Star Wars Galaxies</em></a> has never seen such dire straits.  The elusive and diabolical Dr. Fool (who has a Ph.D. in Evil Medicine) has returned once more to unleash his fiendish toys on the residents of Tatooine, Naboo, Lok, Corellia, and Endor.  These high-level toys -- some resembling miniature AT-ATs -- should be treated as hostile on sight and taken down without prejudice.<br />
<br />
Of course, for this April Fool's event, players are to be rewarded for their diligence.  <a href="http://www.station.sony.com/">SOE</a> is tempting all <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/category/star-wars-galaxies/"><em>SWG</em></a> fighters and lovers to disable the toys with a special title: "Toy Recaller."  This title can only be achieved on April 1st by taking down the malfunctioning toys before the stroke of midnight PDT.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/AT-AT_toy">Wookiepedia has more information</a> on this toy rampage, which coincidentally also happened a year ago to the day.  <a href="http://forums.station.sony.com/swg/posts/list.m?&amp;topic_id=890428">You can also read the aftermath of the 2009 event on <em>SWG's</em> forums.</a><p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com"><img src="http://massively.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Massively" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/2010/03/31/star-wars-galaxies-dr-fool-strikes-back/">Star Wars Galaxies: Dr. Fool strikes back</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://massively.joystiq.com">Massively</a> on Wed, 31 Mar 2010 15:30:00 EST.

<div align="left">Ahhh! Where's my gorgeous new 15k armor? What happened to my beautifully-rendered Necro?! Well, don't fret and take a glance at the <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/April_Fools'_Day">calendar</a>. <a href="http://www.arena.net">ArenaNet</a> has done it once again in <em><a href="http://massively.joystiq.com/tag/GuildWars/">Guild Wars</a></em> with a hilarious new prank for <a href="http://www.infoplease.com/spot/aprilfools1.html">April Fool's Day</a>. If you remember, last year there was the infamous gender-switching incident, where all male characters were female, and vice versa. That sure caused some heads to turn, and probably netted the most screenshots taken in one day, ever. We'll have to check with <a href="http://www.guinnessworldrecords.com/">Guinness</a> on that one, though. <br /><br />This year, they've taken the route of less is more. All player-controlled characters have been turned to stick figures. This doesn't affect heroes at all, which certainly makes for some interesting PvP battles. Although there have been <a href="http://www.guildwarsguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10273768">reports that these new matchstick men are buggy</a>, in regards to PvP armor assignment, but it's all in good fun anyway, right?<br /></div>
