Corrupted Blood

Was it a glitch? Or was it a fascinating study of the way real-word epidemics can spread? The jury's still out on World of Warcraft's Corrupted Blood debuff, which originated in the Zul'Grub instance and spread through several of the game's servers, killing lower-level characters by the dozens and infecting countless others. It was a major annoyance for some players, but others went out of their way to spread the disease - ah, griefers. At any rate, Blizzard was eventually forced to reset all the game's servers to kill the Corrupted Blood bug. If only swine flu could have been wiped out that easily.
