I wondered, 'What has gone on here?' I decided to leave, having satisfied my curiosity, only to find a level 12 run up to me. He said 'Do you have the disease?' I said 'No, everyone's dead. There's an NPC over there. I think he's immune.' That player proceeded to run off to the nearest town, where I was headed. We found more corpses of more dead players. A level 53 started to follow me, asking if we should kill lower levels we see, so we don't get the disease. I was a dwarf hunter, and he was a Night Elf healer. Naturally, I chose to.

Must have been incredible. Did it feel like you were in a different game? The fact you went out to kill others to save your hide while others hid and some helped kind of shows how practical of a simulation this could have been, to a certain extent. I wonder what would have happened if this game combined the Dark Souls mechanic, except with the fact people could pillage you.

It quite literally sounds like the most awesome thing (granted, annoying) that has ever happened. How long did it last, if it was suppose to be a short term ailment? I'm thinking that major cities were all but destroyed?

Do you still hold a memorial for the deaths?

I think you're mistaking WoW with Runescape buddy


Either that or i got trolled.

I was there in Vanilla WoW , and so was my roomate and we're both 110% you didn't lose stuff when you died
