Blizzard are taking a similar strategy with WoW Classic
Public Group active 4 years, 11 months agoWorld of Warcraft: Shadowlands large pre-expansion event is live on the test servers and it’s unleashed an unfathomably large zombie plague on players WOW TBC Classic Gold, turning Azeroth’s capital cities to undead wastelands. Players who get within arm’s reach can also be infected, providing them special zom-bilities and letting them attack other players to spread the disease.
To be clear, this is not occurring from the live version of the game but on its public test servers. It’s here that Blizzard tests upcoming modifications to the match, such as the upcoming level cap squish (maximum level players will only be level 50, with the new level cap being 60 if Shadowlands releases) along with the overhauled new player experience. Butsometime later this fall, this event will launch on live servers–and when it is anything like what’s happening today, it is going to be a bloodbath.
I am not exactly sure if the event is working as intended. The auction house, sellers, and even the lender are all unusable–which might be frustrating for gamers who, when the event is really live, are only trying to go about their day to day business.
Over on the WoW subreddit, players also have found ways to bring the zombie infestation out capital cities, making entire regions of Azeroth uninhabitable. It is funny to realize how much this mirrors a true zombie plague, as slain players and NPCs both transform into ghouls so their numbers are constantly growing.
Fortunately, WoW sport designer Jeremy Feasel confirmed the zombie invasion part of the event is only going to be active for a couple of hours throughout the day rather than all the time. I am actually a little disappointed with that buy WOW Classic Burning Crusade Gold, frankly, because I believe it would be fun to see yet another all-out, 24/7 invasion that players have to attempt to contain–something akin to World of Warcraft’s notorious Corrupted Blood incident.
