Now this is cool.
I play WoW, and there's currently a world event happening on all the servers. It's a zombie invasion!
I logged on last night, and in the main neutral city (Shattrah City) were clouds of "plague" and zombies attacking guards and other NPCs.
I stood in a plague cloud and received a debuff - basically with a warning telling me to find a way to cleanse myself within 10 minutes or become infected! I let myself get infected, and became a zombie with unique zombie moves/attacks.
We ran down to Orgimmar (major Horde city) and attempted to zombify the city leader, Thrall, but the level 80 elite guards handed our asses to us (we're level 70 which is the capped level for players until expansion hits next month).
There are clues everywhere that this is just the beginning of the plague invasion. I haven't logged on yet today (I'm at work) but player reports on the forums are stating there's now "conspicuous crates" in a neutral town called Booty Bay, which when checked give you the plague. There are now plagued cockroaches running around the cities...
This is just so awesome and fun. We're planning to form a zombie raid tonight and try and infect as many towns as possible - you can basically infect NPCs like guards, flightmasters, auctioneers, quest givers - effectively locking down an entire town.
The gamemasters are hinting on the forums that this is just the beginning, and that the plague will NOT be so easily contained forever (eg at the moment, players of certain Classes can Cleanse the plague). People are reporting to already have seen the Plague developing a resistence to Cleanse. It originally was Cleansed quite easily, and now is taking *several* attempts.
I just think this is so cool, and since something like 10 million people play this game, it has the potential to be incredibly huge.
Stay tuned
