I dont have any level 70 characters and was trying to raise a 25 level at the time, and this event was not geared for me. I was at a very goal-oriented stage in my gaming and not really ready for a change. Many I know are trying very hard to reach 70 before Lich King hits the stores, and I think that added to the frustrations. And, as someone wrote above, I play on a PVE server for a reason.

I actually was infected only once (being a Shaman I could cure myself) but found raising funds for my first mount to be more difficult. It wasn’t only that the NPCs were gone, but that no-one was trading low-level things.

Another problem I had with it was that I play this game to escape the Real World…and this was waaay to close to reality. The economy was failing in both places, we had suicide bombers…

However, and this is the funny part, in the end I am glad Blizzard did it. I actually did have fun thinking of work-arounds. If it had lasted longer, I think I would have lost patience.

The fact is. World of Warcraft is a game meant for entertainment and enjoyment. So lighten up. There is always an alternate place that you can go to settle your business. Majority of the time I am able to go about my business in World of Warcraft without any of the bander that these complainers are talking about.

Blizzard did not violate the terms of conditions like previously stated and Im pretty sure no one has even read them!!! I bet everyone here when the screen pops up when your installing the game. Just scrolls all the way down so the “ACCEPT” button at the bottom of the screen right next to the “Decline” button will light up so you can begin playing. Am i right? If someone says otherwise that they do read it. The obviously you have too much time on your hands and that is why you take World of Warcraft so seriously that a simple change to “stir” things up in the game will make you get mad.

Then you need to go outside and pick up a hobby like weightlifting or atleast jogging to stay in shape before you turn into Cartmen, from southpark, in the WOW episode they made. If you cant handle that because your not the least bit athletic then hey… you can do YOGA with your girlfriend or atleast go pick up COD5 or Battlefield:bad company just to give you some break from a game that is sucking your life away since your taking it so dang seriously.

Thats my simple advice and outake from..

-The gamer stereotype killer. Dont just play games…play sports.

Its bizzare. And stupidly self-destructive.

I hate how people get so mad about this, it’s just a bunch of 0s and 1s that is designed to bring the Warcraft Lore to life in a way previously unimaginable. This isn’t some game where the whole point is to do your dailies and whore the auction house, if it was then it wouldn’t be called World of Warcraft. If you really don’t want to participate in the event you can always so to a less populated city, such as Exodar for Alliance; or Thunder Bluff, or The Blood Elf Capital for the horde.

This is exactly what Blizzard said they were going to do when the stated that they were going to make players feel like Arthas is a threat right from the beginning.

With it being just a video game, I think people are over reacting, it’s about having fun and experiencing new things, not being a zombie that stares in front of a computer and does his dailies and checks the auction house as a constant routine. So in a Final Note, quit bitching, maybe read up on some Lore and try to appreciate what Blizzard is doing, either that or Uninstall the game and go play something else, you really won’t be missed.

Its just kids who refuse to adapt to a changing world.

i think blizzard should create a new class in the next expac specifically for people who want to moan, you could have an attack that doesn’t hurt certain classes but instead posts angry rants about class balance on the official forums.

That being said, yeah the zombies are a pain in the ass sometimes but it really is a neat event. Everyone is involved in it, having shambling hordes of player controlled zombies wandering the lands ties in perfectly with halloween. Going to town isn’t a safe area anymore and adds a bit of suspense and excitement when trying to do something simple as going to the bank. I encourage these types of things in an online world such as WoW. I just hope it doesn’t last too long though, lol.

Blizzard is violating thier own Terms of service.
They should be sued.

People don’t like this and are begining to vote with thier feet (those that actually have to pay for this service). Your mommys and daddys aside.

Thank Bliz for ruining a great game. I don’t care how “temp” it is, it sucks.
