  1. This was a great event. This is a MMORPG. It was a great happening. If i had the debuff, i too, would infect everyone i could. It is a game. No one dies.

  2. After witnesing this first hand as a new player and just paid the $200 for the full game with all add ons, i logged off and never plaid again. I kind wonder if Im still infected, I didnt know what to do and logged out during the pandemic.

  3. It’s interesting that people who were playing at the time this happened can sometimes even tell you where they were in game and real life when it all started. Nothing outside of the real world has had that kind of impact on people like this did.

  4. "Enn Cee Peee" Damn it, and I thought I finally found a video on the case I could share in my epidemic study group. Look, you can't get such simple and important details wrong.. Enn Pee Cee, NPC, Non- Player Character.

  5. I'm still not even sure why the dev's could not just stop that.
    Would be easy by just patching in a extra bit of scripting for the effect to simply not work when not in the boss zone, that way it would also automatically vanish from all players after updating.
