The Somewhat Ambitious

Yes, the zombie threat is over. Blizzard have announced that a cure has been found. More likely, however, enough people bitched about not being able to do quests and whatnot, and they caved, which is a shame because… well, because there was something so satisfying about being hunkered down on the top floor of an inn in Stormwind with other “surviviors” whilst outside packs of brain-hungry assholes tore civilians to pieces. Anyway, as the below statement from Tigole on the WOW forums mentions, more may be in store. Maybe. It’s hard to tell, and even harder to care when I haven’t had a coffee yet.

We’d like to thank players for participating so zealously (and valiantly!) during the Great Zombie Plague of ‘08. Our intention with this event was to create something memorable and to literally change the face of Azeroth for a few days. This event is just one of many leading up to Wrath of the Lich King. As you know, the Scourge Invasion is now live as well and there is some other cool stuff coming up before all is said and done. Also, Hallow’s End continues on!

While we recognize that the event could prove to be disruptive at times, we hope you made the most out of it while it lasted. Part of playing in a “living and breathing world” means that things are going to change from time to time. We meant no harm but only wanted to create a lasting impression on players as they head to Northrend to defeat the Lich King. The Lich King’s goals (as you will soon learn) are to turn the Horde and Alliance not only on one another, but on their own kind as well. I think the plague truly demonstrated this firsthand.

So it looks like a cure has finally been found… for now.

Thank you for participating in our most memorable event to date… for better or for…. brrrrrrraaaaaains…

Couple of other important notes:

* The scourge invasion will continue for a few more days.
* The prologue event is not over! More to come!!
* The Karazhan boss will be up for approximately another week still
* We increased the respawn rate of the Necropoli
* Zombie cure should kick in by around noon PST

Incidentally, how awesome are block quotes? They make everything look so… wheeee!
