WotLK World Event, Time to Eat Some Brains!
A World Event has started today for the release of Wrath of the Lich King. It come in the form of a Zombie attack! What’s cool though is the zombies aren’t NPC’s, they are YOU! There are a couple of ways to get infect, but once you have the infections if you go uncured for 10 minutes you turn into a zombie. As a zombie you will be hostile to everyone including your own home city.
The source of the disease are crates located in Booty Bay as seen in the image below (courtesy of WotLKwiki)
As a zombie you gain the a few skills that you can use to help spread the infection:
If you die you will return to your normal self or if you get too close to a Argent Healer. You can also, of course, be cured by normal disease cleansing player spells. If you don’t die or get cured as a Zombie there is rumor of a debuff that is automatically added called Impending Doom that will kill you off.
Here are a couple video I added real fast to show the infection and zombie conversion of the event:

The Zombie conversion!
Bornakk posted a FAQ about the origins and a Q&A about zombie life:

Awesomeness.
Truely awesome
Sounds like history is repeating itself. The second great purge is amoung us. Burn Azeroth as the Mighty Arthus did Stratholme.
its pretty cool but i honestly thought that blizz would do something diffrent. tho like selket said it might add to lore
BRAINS
This is pretty fun… before Captain Funkill comes in to “help” by curing diseases and destroying the army. :/
muhahaha look forward to this.
mmmm brainssssssss
Check it out guys, this could get ‘worse’ – http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=11676598984&sid=1
This event is immensely fun! Last night I turned half of the Brackenwall Ogres into a nigh unstoppable army. =) Any players running through became my victims as well… All fell before the might of the Scourge, even a few of the 70s that appeared to stop my reign of terror succumbed to the overwhelming numbers. All in all, it was great fun and I managed to stay a zombie for over an hour of destruction!
Eat…
Brains…
Aww. Here I was hoping they would pull a Resident Evil reference.
Itchy…
Tasty…
“The crate it says : ‘Made in Andorhal’ .”
this is fun, but the whole thing where u die if you dont kill humanoids is pretty stupid
Heh this is a blast. I spent about 2 hours as a zombie terrorizing Darnassus, that tiny village on the outside and Darkshore. Course it bugged out a bit later and my hunter pet still followed me as a companion lol! I had an army of about 5 (counting pet) decimating every guard and bringing more zombies in.
Brains!
A few guildies and I took the fight directly to the Scarlet Crusade. We got infected in Ironforge, and headed straight for Southshore, and hoofed to Hearthglen in the north of WPL. It was a blast while it lasted…until Highlord Tirion Fordring managed to take down my entired army. I really wish you didn’t have to keep killing to stay alive. And the griefers who are cleansing suck. But other than that, it’s a great event!

Little update on this for you guys!
There are now critters in SW (Roaches) if you kill them you become infected.
Heres a shot for you all:

Hugging isnt advised.
The griefers that are cleansing? LoL, pot meet kettle.
This was fun for awhile, but it ticks me off just a bit when I have to wait for battle masters to re-spawn before I can queue again. I understand Blizzard’s perspective on the plague and everything, but sometimes it just gets a little ridiculous.
@Seren:
This event is only temporary, meaning you can only enjoy it during the short time Blizzard allows for it to continue. If people are purposely curing you/slaughtering your Scourge forces, then they aren’t exactly allowing you to continue to have said enjoyment. Yes, griefer is indeed the right term here.
But don’t worry, those people who actually *want* to have fun with this while they still can will happily continue to kill your quest givers out of spite.
[...] you may have seen yesterday, or read about already on deathknight.info, MMO-Champion, or WoW Insider, zombies are on the loose. And by on the loose I mean I would of [...]
I need a really really big fat tasty brain
I’m a big ghoul that Pallies try to contain
I’m a big strong mindless Champion of the Scourge
Something that Arthas couldn’t purge
I am a servant of the Lich King
When you see me you go to your map and ping
You get a raid group to try and take me down
And trust me I can do much more than give you a frown
I’ll eat your flesh down to the bone
Then raise you into the mindless unknown
I’ll raze Stormwind, Orgrimmarr, Undercity, even Darnassus
Can’t see me comin? Go and get some glasses
I see you and your big armored head
Means I’ll have a big feast when you are dead
To torture you, I’ll rub into metal mesh
Thn I’ll eat you and your tasty flesh
BRRRRAAAAIIIINNNNSSS!!!!!!
(Sorry, I was bored.)
BTW I messed up *I’ll rub [you] into metal mesh
