It is my understanding that my invading forces, in their attempts to besiege your cities and snuff out all life on Azeroth, have inconvenienced the activities of common civilians. In the future, I will ensure that your commanding officers are informed well in advance of planned invasion times so that they may properly fortify themselves. I have also looked into the issue of my plague being too quick in its purpose and too difficult to cure. Please be reassured that I have taken the matter up personally with my top necromancers and that any further incarnations of said plague should be only a slight challenge for your natural immune systems to overcome. Please forward any additional complaints to either Kel'thuzad or Anub'arak.
Regards, the Lich King Arthas."
*Snicker* Oh, that's good stuff. Personally, I remain indifferent to the event. I didn't get turned, nor did I kill any zombies. I did find it to be an amusing event.
I guess the discussion here is that if you are upsetting the main chunk of your player base, are you doing the right thing? Given the response to this world event...do you think Blizzard will attempt something like it again 'next time'? Or will they modify the event so as to be more "opt in"? Is there something to 'learn' here from the reactions of their playerbase...or was this exactly the kind of reaction Blizz wanted?
