The 1st day of April, known as [[W:April Fools' Day|April Fools' Day]], was celebrated in [[Lion's Arch]], [[Shing Jea Monastery]] and [[Kamadan, Jewel of Istan]]. In these towns, all player-controlled characters had their genders reversed (i.e. a male character would show up as a female in these towns, with the corresponding facial features, hairstyle and skin color, and vice versa). In addition to appearance, characters' emotes were also reversed.

==Notes==
*This event was not added in to the updates page; although, on the date they made the preparations for the free access event, there was an unusually long download amount and time. This is most likely when they added in the coding.

==Trivia==
*Many people liked their new appearances, so [[Gaile Gray]] said she would ask if an NPC could be added to change players' genders as they wish; however, Gaile mentioned that we would likely be unable to choose the face or the hair style. More on the [[Gaile/Frog_Talk/20070401|Gaile Talk]] of the event.
**In one of Gaile Gray's [[Gaile/Frog_Talk/20071029|talks]], she mentioned developers are mulling on making a gender-changing tonic.
**Eventually, as a part of game's [[Game updates:April 2009|4th anniversary updates]], a stylist was added to the [[Great Temple of Balthazar]] named [[Anatomical Engineer Llye]]. This NPC allows players to change a character's appearance and gender for [[Makeover Credit|an additional cost]].
***An [[Gilderoy Le Fleur|additional stylist]] was added to [[Pre-Searing Ascalon City]] in the [[Feedback:Game updates/20260225|February 25th, 2026 update]] as a part of [[Guild Wars Reforged]].
