World of Warcraft ‘plague’ swamps servers
World of Warcraft ‘plague’ swamps servers | The Register
Now this I found interesting. It must have fascinating to watch this plague spread across the virtual world of WoW, but probably also a little creepy. Perhaps it’s a little too much horror for a game that mostly consists of ‘kill the mob, steal it’s treasure’. There are indeed many a cry of “Why am I infected, I did nothing to deserve it, it’s unfair!”. Players want someone to blame and they are blaming the creators (of the game). Of course death in WoW is not permanent, it’s not like the characters are being wiped out forever when they get the plague, but it’s still causing distress. And in game? It’s certainly causing paranoia, segregation into ghettos, mistrust of others. Brilliant idea…
