Well, it makes it more real if there's plauge. What I'd do, is go off into the wilderness by my self, and stay away from all towns until it was fixed.

I don't have WoW, though. -sob-
I've played it, but I need £90 before I can get it to myself. So far I have... err... my sister owes me £10, and I have two lucky pennies... giving me a grand total of... 3 pence!

...

That's not nearly enough. :mad:

Well, I'm sure there are a lot of people who don't like the situation, especially if it's messed the towns up (as it seems to.). But at the same time, I'm sure there are a fair share of players who do think it's an interesting situation. Especially those who like to RP - as I understand things there's something of a derth of world events in WoW.

If I were playing WoW, I'd probably get a huge kick out of the situation.

Anyone who is "really pissed off" about the whole thing is being way too anal.

I wonder how this will fall out with BlizzCon happening next month and all.

I'd imagine that they'd release a strain of bubonic plague into the crowd. It's only logical.

I've never actually wanted to play WoW until now. That's awesome. xD

So I'm guessing the blood splatter is someone dying of the "plague?"

At any rate.....interesting.....this is an intriguing development. Still, I'm glad I don't play WoW.

No, I just don't appreciate having to dish out most of my gold to pay for repairs to my armor because of a frelling glitch. Gold is hard enough to accumulate as it is.

More information for those who are interested...

I'm actually still not entirely convinced that this wasn't planned, as it reminds me of the Warcraft III events in the human campaign with the plague. Adding a plague to an MMORPG and seeing what happens is a really interesting idea, and I'm not so sure it wasn't planned. It may just be a bit buggy, or they may be "failing" to totally fix the plague on purpose.
