Yea, after being stuck in Moonglade for almost 20min waiting for the flightmasters to respawn, not once, but twice, I think at this point im going to cut back my play time to only being on for raids. Im honestly sick and tired of these juvenile delinquents griving people for the sake of thier own entertainment and Blizzard encouraging it and not lifting a finger to put a stop to it.

Im likely not going to be on till this crap is overwith aside from raids because I cant seem to go anywhere without being impacted negatively by another idiot player.

Sorry guys, this whole event is garbage imo and does nothing but put more tools in the hands of the idiots to make playing this game for the rest of us intolerable.

WotLK Zombie Invasion - Phase 4
The main phase of the Zombie Invasion has now started !
The infection now lasts 2 minutes instead of 5
Necropolis from the pre-Naxxramas events are back throughout the world ! The undeads are everywhere !
The quest to kill Tenris Murkblood is now available in Light's Hope Chapel !

Scourge Invasion - Phase 5
Disease has been reduced from 2 minutes to 1 minute ... Capital cities are definitely going to be a mess, especially now that most of the Argent Healers are gone.

[blizzard]Necropolis spawn rate
We have a hotfix going live tonight during the restarts that will address the issue. (Source)

Tenris Mirkblood (New Karazhan boss)
He's around for approximately 10 days. Because he's rare, he drops a bat for everyone. The Ripper is the rare item. (Source)[/blizzard]

[blizzard]We'd like to thank players for participating so zealously (and valiantly!) during the Great Zombie Plague of '08. Our intention with this event was to create something memorable and to literally change the face of Azeroth for a few days. This event is just one of many leading up to Wrath of the Lich King. As you know, the Scourge Invasion is now live as well and there is some other cool stuff coming up before all is said and done. Also, Hallow's End continues on!

While we recognize that the event could prove to be disruptive at times, we hope you made the most out of it while it lasted. Part of playing in a "living and breathing world" means that things are going to change from time to time. We meant no harm but only wanted to create a lasting impression on players as they head to Northrend to defeat the Lich King. The Lich King's goals (as you will soon learn) are to turn the Horde and Alliance not only on one another, but on their own kind as well. I think the plague truly demonstrated this firsthand.

So it looks like a cure has finally been found… for now.

Thank you for participating in our most memorable event to date… for better or for…. brrrrrrraaaaaains…

Couple of other important notes:

The scourge invasion will continue for a few more days.
The prologue event is not over! More to come!!
The Karazhan boss will be up for approximately another week still
We increased the respawn rate of the Necropoli
Zombie cure should kick in by around noon PST[/blizzard]

WotLK Prologue - Undead attacks on capital cities !
It seems that the big part of the WotLK prologue just started ! More updates to come as we gather more information about this.

Abominations and Frostwyrms are assaulting capital cities
Faction Leaders have been moved around to help with the defense
The event seems to repeat itself a few minutes after it ends
Few changes have been made to the "old" parts of the events, most of the Argent NPCs are gone, battle count has been reset, etc ...
