The Lich King makes his move - Sir_Die_alot - 10-23-2008
I'm not sure if its on all servers yet but if you check booty bay there are "suspicious crates" that infect you. When you die you become a zombie that can then infect others. It's kind of a slower version of the Hakkar plague but deliberate this time. It's great fun in opposing faction towns. =)
An alliance on my server found something interesting: not only can you talk with alliance in ghoul, you can trade as well. We hooked each other up with pets!

I ask because my shaman is hated in Booty Bay, and the feeling is mutual.

Anyway, for lore geeks, this whole event has been nothing but totally awesome. I admit I find it a lot of fun myself, although I've been too busy raiding to really get a good look at zombie attacks, much less participate.
Quirks of the event: Horde and Alliance can cross-communicate and even trade items as zombies (this been patched out yet)? This opens a temporary hole where items can be moved cross-faction without the AH tax. The Gnome king and Vol'jin can be infected, although other leaders cannot. But the real cake came from an Elitist Jerks post:
Exemplar Wrote:Infect an alt. Log off alt. Wait for Wrath. Level main to 80. Log on alt. Spread disease to friend. Have friend disease main. Go to CoT: Cleansing of Stratholme. Infect Arthas...Fun. :)
I'm curious if they'll cleanse it from characters on login, eventually. Otherwise I expect a fair number of people to sit on infected alts and bring them out for special occasions to start the plague again. Shouldn't be too hard to re-infect yourself and log back off to repeat later.

Oh my, haha. Someone cleared BRD to the Lyceum, hearthed out, got infected, and went back to BRD. Upon becoming a zombie, they infected the mobs there...
End result: warfare. The fast-respawning mobs provided the zombies with plenty of food to eat and they became self-sustaining. All-out zombie warfare.

Third page of comments: "HOW I MINE FOR STEED?"
http://www.mmo-champion.com/ has a story about a new boss in Karazhan in connection with the zombie event, as well as a possible zone only accessible to zombies.

Edit: BTW I already have plague sitting on a couple alts just to pull out later. B)

To be honest, if I had know Invincible was buried there, I would've shovelled him up myself. I'm sucking badly on my progress towards Filling the Barn...
