  • WoW virus?

    I don't play World of Warcraft, but something happened so big that it made the news:

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4272418.stm

    In the last week, it added the Zul'Gurub dungeon which gave players a chance to confront and kill the fearsome Hakkar - the god of Blood.

    In his death throes Hakkar hits foes with a "corrupted blood" infection that can instantly kill weaker characters.

    The infection was only supposed to affect those in the immediate vicinity of Hakkar's corpse but some players found a way to transfer it to other areas of the game by infecting an in-game virtual pet with it.

    This pet was then unleashed in the orc capital city of Ogrimmar and proved hugely effective as the Corrupted Blood plague spread from player to player.

    Although computer controlled characters did not contract the plague, they are said to have acted as "carriers" and infected player-controlled characters they encountered.
    Blizzard tried to control the plague by staging rolling re-starts of all the servers supporting the Warcraft realms and applying quick fixes.

    However, there are reports that this has not solved all the problems and that isolated pockets of plague are breaking out again.
    NOSTALGIA IN THE WORST FASHION

      Lol thats actually quite amusing. Its a fully fledged plague outbreak. If a character dies does it stay dead, permanently? (or is it ressurectable?)

          You can ress.. all you have to do is to run from the closest graveyard to your corpse.I don't know if you keep the plague ( doubt it) but i allmost feel like getting it with my main (hardly play on it atm) and then run to the human starting place and give the plague to all the newbies there :fear:

              My father in law was telling me over Thanksgiving about this amazing bartender at some bar he frequented who could shake a martini and fill it to the rim with no leftovers and he thought it was the coolest thing he'd ever seen. I then proceeded to his home bar and made four martinis in one shaker with unfamiliar glassware and a non standard shaker and did the same thing. From that moment forward I knew he had no compunction about my cock ever being in his daughter's mouth.

                        It's not on Laughing Skull Hordeside, but I've seen it on a number of other servers. It's not on any of the new ones, obviously :] (although Dark Iron probably has it by now)

                          Run for your life, become a recluse hiding in the wilderness sniping off anything that comes near you! Not to mention screaming beserker chants at them.

                          BTW, are undead immune to this plague?

                            Yeah, everyone in IF is going "OMGWTF" because the plague is owning them. I think the new patch fixed it, though.
