All player characters above level 1 in various locations were turned into Gwen-chan.

The 1st day of April, known as April Fools' Day, was celebrated in all cities, mission outposts, outposts, and guild halls. During the day, all player characters above level 1 in these locations look like Gwen-chan.

In addition, fake update notes were made. All developer note updates on April 1st 2009 were fake, and as such, should not be taken seriously.

Notes

• Only a few emote commands have corresponding animations:
  • /beckon
  • /cheer
  • /clap
  • /fistshake
  • /flute (accompanied by music as seen here)
  • /point
  • /rank
  • /sit
  • /stand
  • /zrank
• Using a Form or Disguise does not change the appearance of the character.
• The effect is not active in explorable areas, missions or PvP area and it also does not apply to level one characters.
• Gwen does her "catch a butterfly" animation every few seconds.
• Due to how low to the ground Gwen-chan stands, zooming into first-person view will cause your screen to view partially under the ground.
• When walking backwards, Gwen still skips.
• A fellow Gwen-chan appears to have bald patches when viewed through grass or when she is submerged underwater.
