Listening to: Distant Skies - Strawpeople

Pablo forwarded this to me… it’s kinda trippy:

Heres 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 Corrupted
Blood. It does like 250-350 damage to players and [also] 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 general 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 immediately die).

GM’s even tried quarantining
players in certain areas, but the players kept escaping the quarentine and infect
other players.

UPDATE: BBC World have a story on
the plague.
