MMORPG diseases!

I don't play WoW myself, being a bit hooked into Guild Wars at the moment, but I thought this was too cool not to mention

"...Hakkar, the god of blood, uses a devastating disease attack on anyone who dares fight him. Seeing as how it's a disease and most diseases are contagious, it shouldn't be shocking when some players come back and haven't been cured.

And that's exactly what's happened. Players are returning from this instance to towns with the diseases, spreading it, and Blizzard's in a panic to keep things under control..."

Heehee! They should just set up apothecaries, or a bath house or something. Maybe alter the disease slightly so it's less virulent in younger players ;) I think it's brilliant that it's acting just like a real civilisation.

Hmm... must remember to buy Fable: The Lost Chapters, and save up for Black & White 2
