WoW: Raid of the Living Dead?

Zombies have come to Azeroth! In a pre-launch event for Wrath of the Lich King, players can be infected by the plague, die, and rise again - as a zombie, with the power to infect others. Our friends at Curse have a guide to the event for any would-be zombie enthusiasts!

Damn fun event.

Even one player controlled zombie can wreak havoc on smaller towns. Groups of us managed to totally wipe Ratchet and the Crossroads off the map earlier. Also of note: alliance and horde can talk to eachother in Zombie-ish when transformed, so yay for being able to talk to the horde you just dropped.

Wow the actually updated an event ?

Sounds fun!

Seems to be an ever evolving event as well. While initially the plagued grain crates were only in Booty Bay, they're now all over, plagued roaches are infesting towns that create infectious clouds when killed and the incubation period for the disease is now down to only 5 minutes. Looking forward to see where this world event is heading.

This looks hillarious, might actually make me want to try WoW instead of playing Guild Wars.

Infection is now down to 2 minutes before zombification, a new boss has appeared in Karazhan and there are necropolises flying over all of azeroth spewing undead everywhere.

Something big is gonna go down soon.

Update:

Infection time down to 60 seconds, argent healers have all but vanished from major cities, turning them into zombie filled free-for-alls and necropolises are beginning to actively attack zones with squads of level 70 mobs you can drop for argent dawn quests.
