Epic Troll is Epic

What do you get when you take a deviant warrior who trolls the warlock forums? Epic Rick Roll thread!

Recently Sar of Destructive Reach posted about a thread that appeared on the warlock forums demanding that Blizzard remove all warlocks from the game. Except all wasn’t as it appeared! No, instead the thread was perhaps one of the best planned Rick Rolls that I have ever had the displeasure to stumbled across. Ordinarily a link to the song or lyrics is embedded somewhere in a message or post. Such blatant attempts rightfully deserve the scorn that typically results. The original poster, however, was much more clever than that! Rick Rolls of this caliber are few and far between.

Astonishing many people who originally expressed disgust at his outbursts, Mac of the Detheroc US PvP server cleverly hid the lyrics to the Rick Asterly song “Never Gonna Give You Up” within his series of rants against warlocks. Nobody seemed to catch on that the beginning letter of each sentence spelled out a line from the song. Gleefully I’ve watched the thread throughout the day and laughed as more and more people replied without any idea of what was going on. Even though many people went out of their way to explain exactly what had occurred, it seemed that few people read beyond the original post. Ridiculous!

So, reading that today made me laugh. To see all of those warlocks get angry over a finely played Rick Roll was hilarious. Other than the fact that it was so difficult to recognize initially and many people couldn’t quite seem to catch on. ‘Locks in that thread just didn’t seem to get it. Obviously it was a troll. Very good one, too!

Everyone should take the opportunity to check out the thread “Remove warlocks from the game” for a quick laugh!
