In other WoW news, this is pretty interesting for WoW players as well:

I think the next thing is going to be a simulator of the spreading of virusses through sex with dogs and other animals.

I read this a few days ago on Ars and found it kinda cool. I wonder if they'll use this experience to add some depth to future patches or games.

yea my friend called me up and asked if I was on WoW.
he told me there was a plague going around that was wiping out entire cities. Unfortunately I was on an uninfected server.

Apparently the "plague" is just a bugged ability called Corrupted Blood that is the end-boss (blood god) of the new instance they added to the Stranglethorn Vale region. He hits everybody near his corpse with it as a final parting gift.

People found they could spread it using pets and such. They went in to cities and infected other people who, when they died, would trigger a release of the plague and infect even more people.

Blizzard tried server roll-backs to fix the problem but seems there were some isolated instances of the plague so it respread or somethin like that.

I wish I would have seen it.
