I was genuinely suprised how doctors and other professinals, whom I always took for intelligent and educated lost all their common sense and thought that their own problem is more imporant than the problem of somebody else and kept on annoying me until I could not work at all.... No, I decided NOT to go back to this. I rather drink more beers now.

Volunteers would run into Stormwind to get shit done, then run back out and had to be healed by Guild healers... It got even more intense because I played on an RP server, so it was treated as a pandemic!

@stedwards311 4 жыл бұрын
@@temporaneo617 It was fcking hilarious. Everyone talks about it so seriously, but half of the WoW community was having tons of fun using the disease to break the game. Only the lower level players who were taking the game more seriously and trying to get their quests done while all this was going on actually had any problems with it... them and the gold farmers. Most of the raiding guilds had players who took off their gear to avoid the repair cost from dying, and griefed lower levels in the cities by picking up the disease debuff on their pets, unsummoning the pets before they died, and re-summoning them in the middle of the Auction House or the bank, where all of the Chinese gold farmers kept their level 1 toons standing around so they could spam the chat channel with their ads. It pissed off the gold farmers more than anybody, and that's a hot take that nobody really talks about anymore. That's also why endgame players were having fun with it: finally, a tool to disrupt the annoying gold farmers letting people pay to win. But the key to all of this is a programmers' oversight... when you unsummon your pet, the debuff should be cleared. Normally, if you teleported out of the dungeon with the debuff active, it would be removed, to prevent exactly the sort of thing that happened. But that didn't happen with unsummoned pets, which let the debuff get out of the dungeon that it came from and spread around the rest of the game.

I remember logging onto WoW when the Corrupted Blood issue was going on. At first I didn’t notice that I had a debuff on me, but then when my health started going down really quickly I panicked a bit, and like everyone else begged for a healer. The debuff was a damage-over-time debuff which meant that every 30secs or whatever you lost a bit more health until you kicked the bucket. Once I was dead I had some time to read the public and guild chat - and then I realized that I’d been infected in the Horde capital (Ogrimmar). I logged off and checked back each day until they fixed the prob. It actually got into mainstream media if you can believe it due to the interest of epidemiologists. There’s loads about this on the internet including a Wiki page. This video was a great reminder of a whole bunch of misspent time spent from days gone by.

@Tommy50377 2 жыл бұрын
The problem is, in a game like that, there's no real risk to being infected or dying. You don't actually lose anything from dying, and just have to respawn. In WoW, dying has real consequences. You could loose items and loot that you spent a long time getting, and wanted to do everything you could to make sure you don't die. That's why it worked well in WoW, because people had good reason to avoid dying or being infected, whereas in a game like what you suggest, there's no stakes in it. A game over screen means nothing if all that happens is you have to respawn.

I was playing WoW during this event. I wasn’t a high level character but my server was one that got reset. Half of my characters were infected, I downplayed the issue but my internet was so slow I was unable to enter cities anyway. I went to the least populated cities when necessary and that’s how most of my characters got infected. The only 1 off that happened for me was a small camp in a questing area had somehow gotten infected and when I entered the camp I was killed. Knowing I was a small part in that pandemic is fun to me, has absolutely has no effect on my life though. Hell I don’t even play the game anymore.

Similar to how only weaker players will die to the effect, Covid can easily kill anyone who has poor immune response, those being children, the elderly and people with a condition. And just like in real life, stronger players(people) act like jerks and just spread the infection on unsuspecting players. When I first heard this story I thought it was ridiculous for people in real life to act like this. Yet with what happened, it is not so farfetched.

I remember that. I also remember when they try to introduce the 3rd expansion by infecting players and NPC which turn them into zombies. It was suppose to stay in the vanilla world but soon enough got into the 2nd expansion areas. Quests were not able to be done and lower level characters will die by high level zombies. Best time ever.

Reminds me of when I caused a bucket of water epidemic on a Minecraft server. Buckets were a banned item because of their griefing potential, so they weren't useable to low level players but they could infinitely duplicate because players could pick them up and they would stay on the ground. Therefore, walk over a bucket and it would fill up your inventory with buckets. If you dropped the buckets filling your entire inventory, it would spread to whoever picked it up, encouraging them to drop the buckets, thus allowing the buckets to spread and spread until you couldn't walk near spawn without having a full inventory of self-replicating buckets to throw away and inadvertently spread.

I use to play this game in the mid 00s. I think I stopped around 2012. The best moments in my life were in WoW. I’m now 35 with nothing to show for in life. I was feeling optimistic once again at the start of 2020 but the whole covid situation crushed that and now I’m stuck in a hole that I don’t know how to get out of this time around.

The players in WoW had some we were intentionally spread it. In the present, out of game with the Covid-19, some just spread it because they are douches. Especially during the spring break.
