Along with Shadowlands expansion changes going into effect, the pre-patch event is a scourge invasion. Though this will be the third scourge invasion longtime players of WoW will have seen, it's just the second time Blizzard has done a zombie infestation too. The infestation is simple in that NPC zombies will attack and can cause players to wow classic gold get a debuff on them, which, when it reaches zero, will then turn the player into a zombie and infect others. Additionally, there are plagued roaches, which, when they are murdered, will also cause the player who killed it to find the infected debuff. As a zombie, players get an entirely new set of abilities to use, and it may be a good deal of fun running amok in Stormwind or Orgrimmar. Obviously, when all this went live on the PTR, it caused no lack of consternation among players.

The principal issue is trying to do anything that isn't the zombie infestation becomes hard to perform, largely since participant zombies like to hangout at quest givers and other spots where plenty of gamers tend to collect. Since this event also will come with a whole questline that takes place from the zones around Stormwind and Orgrimmar, there is ample opportunity to camp out and possibly infect as many players as you can. However, one positive shift in the last time that the zombie infestation occurred is that Blizzard seems to have made it more difficult to disperse it into the rest of Azeroth. One of the first things I did when I got infected was to buy classic wow gold hearth to Dalaran, but when I came, I wasn't infected anymore. However, I was able to take it to Boralus through using the portal in the mage tower, so it's not a perfect system yet.
