The Plague Has Been Cured!
As we saw the progress with Grand Apothecary Putress yesterday, it finally seems like a cure has been found for the plague.
Tigole weighs in on the matter:
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
One thing I find interesting is his words of "...for now." It looks like we have a lot of things to look forward to over the next three weeks. Perhaps the last 72 hours we'll see the return of the zombies? I can only hope.
