Seeing as how it&#8217;s a disease and most diseases are contagious, it shouldn&#8217;t be shocking when some players come back and haven&#8217;t been cured.<br \/>\nAnd that&#8217;s exactly what&#8217;s happened. Players are returning from this instance to towns with the diseases, spreading it, and Blizzard&#8217;s in a panic to keep things under control. GM&#8217;s have started to quarantine players in an effort to control the spreading, but players keep leaving the quarantine areas. Unless you&#8217;re above level 50, you more or less immediately fall over dead from the disease.<br \/>\nThere hasn&#8217;t been a patch to stop the plague, but here&#8217;s to hoping Blizzard doesn&#8217;t actually cop out and simply eliminate the virus from the world; this is one of the reasons massively multiplayer online videogames are so cool!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I have to agree: this is pretty cool. \ud83d\ude42  I love it when semi-smart programs hand you something you built that turns into something you didn&#8217;t.
