Dont Like the Invasion? Tuff Luck![UPDATED - Zombie Cure Found]

I can understand some peoples frustration with the madness that this event is causing. I normally don’t participate in these extracurricular activities such as holidays and world events. The achievement system will definitely change those thoughts for me.

Last night is a perfect example. I knew I didn’t have time to play, but still wanted to log on long enough to work the AH for a couple minutes…wrong. No big deal, I just logged off. GD zombies. So, wondering if there is any end in site of those of us ready for normalcy? Netheara sheds some light:

While we understand that there are people who are not enjoying the events, we can’t guarantee that everyone loves every event. That said, this one will continue until its end and has a purpose within the game for forwarding the storyline that leads into Northrend. It’s important and for many it’s fun.

It won’t last forever though.

While we don’t mind constructive feedback, this event will continue and has an end. It’s not forever, though some would like it to be.

If this event is causing you undue pain or stress, then, it might be a good idea to take a little time off until it is over. Again, it won’t last much longer and has an end. It’s important that you take care of yourself first and foremost above anything else.

And just as I hit publish on this post, Tigole drops this bit of info:

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…rrrrrrraaaaaains…
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

    Hmpf, can’t people just stop their usual gank and spank in PvE, PvP or economics and enjoy the damn event? It’s not even permanent but something special that will only happen once, yet they whine on… At least on RP realms this is so damn fun. People RPing with the apocalyptic setting, large groups of people organizing the defense and evacuation of civilians, healers who help the injured and infected, large masses of zombies assaulting cities while the citizens and fighters are making a last stand. Sadly enough it’s over now :(

    I for one liked the event.

    Yes, people were getting carried away with killing npcs, but it was all for fun. Think of all the crazy zombie attacks that could happen, or people making zombie movie from this.

    Like it was said, if you don’t like it, take some time off you whiney babies.

  • Darshanan said:

    damn right man! i loved it i was a pally like i said… and i got to pwn all the invaders and cleanse people…sometimes they even tipped and asked me to do it for money….

    I like how they did it to advance lore and create something memorable. I’ll remember it because it was annoying and it did nothing to advance this loreless game’s “story.”
