Game is simply unplayable while the error or stunt persists.

It should be cleared up by tomorrow...

ok so its april 2nd and the problem still hasnt been fixed. I get its early in the morning but the prank is the most annoying thing I have ever heard. At first I didnt have a problem with seeing nothing but villagers but now thats gotten annoying too. please fix the issue soon so I can go back to enjoying the game instead of loathing it.

They may not be at work yet, the estimated time for the revert is 9:00 AM CEST.
