2011 April Fools

The 2011 April fools joke was a fake Behind the Scenes article. It listed a distraction and diversion called "TzHaar Hero", a Hunter update for hunting werewolves and vampires, a quest called "Gertrude’s Cataclysm", and the ability to summon unicorns. However, at the end of the article Jagex staited that the behind the scenes was in fact an april fools joke, and the real behind the scenes would follow later on that day.


 * TzHaar is a reference to the musical gaming series Guitar Hero.
 * Gertrude's Cataclysm is a reference to the quest Gertrude's Cat.
 * The "little pwny unicorns" is a portmanteau of "puny" and "pwn" stating that they would be small, yet deadly.

 * "Sailing" was mentioned, being a reference to the highly-anticipated skill, Sailing.
 * The default "wear" option of partyhats was to be changed to "tear", making the player lose the partyhat.
 * The "clipping issues" of the "Emperor's New Clothes" is a reference to a classical story, the Emperor's New Clothes.
 * "Fire these agitated birds to see if you can hit Pigzilla in Draynor Market and contribute to your team’s score. " is a reference to the popular iPhone game Angry Birds.
