The Plague Swarms through WoW
Not to make light of disease, but this is quite humorous:
via: Nyrath > MetaFilter > Wonderland > shacknewsHeres the skinny: Blizzard adds in a new instance: Zul'Gurub. Inside is the god of blood, Hakkar. Well, when you fight him he has a debuff called Corrputed Blood. It does like 250-350 damage to palyers and affects nearby players. The amazing thing is SOME PLAYERS have brought this disease (and it is a disease) back to the towns, outside of the instance. It starts spreading amongst the genral population including npcs, who can out generate the damage. Some servers have gotten so bad that you can't go into the major cities without getting the plague (and anyone less than like level 50 nearly immediately die).GM's even tried quarantining players in certain areas, but the players kept escaping the quarentine and infect other players.
Here is a video of it spreading through a village. You have to watch it. It's like spontanious human combustion... er, explosion rather.
Zul'Gurub was introduced in the version 1.7 update last week.
On some servers it's infected to many npcs to go into town. On some it is around and then dies off and comes back a few hours later.
Ripping good laugh, that.
