Yes, one annonymous group of players (*cough*) spread it around Orgrimmar on Tichondrius on Thursday night, and the chaos and number of dead bodies was pretty amazing. The plague worked as follows: It did a couple hundred damage each second for three seconds and can spread to other players *and* NPC's. Normally, that amount of damage wouldn't be enough to kill anyone but people's mule alt's, but a group of players or NPC's standing next to each other (say, at the bank, mailbox, or auction house) would pass the plague back and forth to each other. The resulting number of dead bodies around Orgrimmar was quite fantastic as copycatters got the plague and continued to intentionally spread the plague themselves.
Any reports that I was among the instigating players of this little prank are fully without merit, unless they have screenshots and game logs to back it up. :whistling:
Edit: Looking at my screenshots, it seemed to do around 300 damage every two seconds, but it lasts only 3 seconds. So, basically, you get hit with it only once but you're contagious for three seconds and the person you give it to can give it right back to you.
