I actually prefer the new one, the old one it looks like just some kind of demon. The new one in my eyes, looks much Planes oriented and not just Abyss-like, like the old one would have looked if they had copied it completely.
I haven't forgotten the date. While it was apparently a joke response to a serious thread, I simply didn't see the funny. :shrug:
Maybe my sense of humor lies dormant for April Fools Day, as I don't like joke "news articles" mixed in with actual news articles. Makes it hard to find the interesting stuff, like that article on the new Dispell Magic.
