Zombie plague infects World of Warcaft

Just in time for Halloween, a Wrath of the Lich King zombie invasion has taken root in Azeroth.

Hey, Warcraft? Yeah, I think I can help with your little problem.

With just 20 days until the launch of World of Warcraft: Wrath of the Lich King, the early effects of the undead's looming arrival have manifested as a zombie invasion.

The first sign of trouble was the arrival of the Argent Dawn, who appeared in capital cities throughout Azeroth. Said the Dawn, "The plagued tendrils of the Lich King lurk close." Scary!

Then, the zombies.

The walking dead appeared outside major cities, and players unlucky (or lucky?) enough to come in contact with them were themselves infected with the zombie plague. Players have 10 minutes to find a healer before the plague takes hold. Becoming a zombie isn't as bad as it sound, though. Players are granted a new status bar and zombie abilities, which last until the player is cured by a healer.

And then the zombie crates showed up.

In the Booty Bay area, "Conspicuous Crates" appeared last night that can also infect players. The results, after 10 minutes, are the same as the zombies.

So I guess this game Wrath of the Lich King really is coming out next month and is looking to hit the release date and isn't going to pull a Burning Cruisade and get delayed. I remember one of my friends swearing that this would get delayed until next year back when they first said it would be out by the end of the year. He's like no way I bet it will come out next fall. That's what he said.

Yeah, it's cool that you can attack other people (pc's and npc's), and they'll become zombies, too...... you could amass your own little army.

....but they move too slow.
