Does anyone know more about this Blood Plague?

Greetings all.

I don't play WoW, but I found a tidbit of interesting information on a Plague players could get from a mob called Hakkar.

I was hoping some of you guys could fill me in on this because that article got me curious :)

Haha, coverage on the BBC? Awesome.

It's exactly what the article says. The plague is a short lived dot that "infects" everyone around you every time it ticks. So you end up with waves of it sloshing back and forth through crowded areas.

I would guess a warlock or hunter pet became infected and the owner was killed by it, poofing the pet but not removing the dot (the pet could have also been intentionally dismissed). When they summoned it later, the dot ticked and voilà! Carnage akin to the classic Geddon's Bomb in the Auction House.
