Deadly plague hits Warcraft world?

haha this was actually really funny. My guildmate Zug was trying to auction some stuff with his alt and he kept dying. I ended up climbing a cliff in the city so that no one could get near me.

Quite funny, but highly annoying. Lowbies dropping like flies.
 
I still dont understand, a bug or a real game virus? And if it was a bug, then how come its acts like a virus? Example, need to be the proximity of others to 'get it'.
 
My understanding is it is passed on to others from the ZG final boss via the pets which get infected. Then when they get back to IF, the pet is summoned and those in close prox all get infected which in turn they infect others if they don't die first. It is a bug and it will be localized to ZG ... very likely.
 
I have heard (not confirmed) that the disease was accidentally made like Azuregos' Mark of Ice, and it is also (on purpose) like Trogg's Radiation --- meaning that a) it affects not only living players, but their corpses and ghosts, and b) that it transfers from one player to another by an event that triggers whenever you take damage.

This would mean that it would affect players, their corpses, their pets, their pets' corpses, their ghosts, and their non-com pets. The problem is that, then, any player walking next to an infected corpse... it's kind of like the plague.

The way it devestated Archimonde was simple. A hunter, after killing hakkar, dismissed his disease-ridden pet. A few minutes later, in Ogrimmnar, he resummoned it in the Auction House. Suddenly, a very powerful disease began to infect the AH. Players, engrosed in their shopping, would often not notice the disease at all until they were standing in the graveyard. Because the disease is rumored to transcend death, the very act of walking to retrieve your corpse would cause living players near your ghost to suddenly get sick.

Widespread hordie death. And apparently on Archimonde they had a transference over to the Alliance too, in STV. FUN!!!

lol well it was an amusing bug.
 
K...that's hilarious!! Hope it doesn't happen in Terenas.

What I found the funniest about that article is that I actually understood it..not only that but I knew what they were talking about with the SIM thing...my first character died after I stressed out completely trying to get him better...stupid hampster :)
