A great day this was in RuneScape. Even I was fooled couple of times :). I was all day playing RuneScape and saw people get fooled all the time. Very many people very tried to be fooled by telling that kingdom of Asgarnis was open, I was one of them. Later in the evening it seemed very odd, but for some reason RuneScape Tips was down (maybe, because ssome problems in tip.it servers. And I don't know if this was by real Paul Gower, but he posted this message:

Subject: Player owned houses opening today IF...
Username: Paul Gower
Date: 1-Apr-2001 15:53

Today, if Mika Häkkinen wins Formula 1 Gradn Prix, Im going to OPEN player owned houses today!! If Schumacher wins, Im not going to open houses NEVER. If someone else wins I open houses after 2 months.

So put your thumbs up for
Mika Häkkinen!

That message became the most popular topic in RuneScape general chat ever, or that's what I think. There were more than 40 replies in less than hour and everyone was excited and hoped that Mika Häkkinen would win. Of course, I gotta say that I was one of many people that knew they couldn't open the houses today, because they ain't ready. I though something would happen, but not something like this again:

I had better pic, but for some odd reason it was deleted. There were more people than there were when guy called RuneScape was there fooling everyone. I'm not sure, but someone said that Paul Gower himsel showed up there on the other side of the fence telling: "I'm just watching formulas". After couple of minutes another guy showed himself, he was called moderator (and he was other side of the fence too). He was telling that the Paul Gower was fake, but he is the real. I had other hurries in same time so I don't know everything he said, but the main thing was, that he was saying Paul Gower to be fake. After some time aa rumor spread out, don't know if it is true (or if even the moderator said so), but they said that Paul Gower was HACKED! That could be even true, because it is odd that most of Paul Gower's posts in RuneScape general chat was deleted, or maybe this is just some well designed april fool by Jagex company :)

Couldn't write any loger, because of my annoying big brother... :(, altahough I made this a lot better afterwards.
