The Scourge Invasion

(I'm a little pressed for time right now. I'll elaborate further on my thoughts about this World Event, but for now, I want to reprint the technical advice posted by Bokaia of VeCo server to the server forum about how this works.)

Says Bokaia:

"Getting Infected
- Get bitten by a current zombie
- Stand in the puke cloud (Retch) too long

"Turning into a zombie
- Wait 10 minutes after you are infected
- Die while infected. This includes getting killed by a zombie, or losing in a duel or suicide (aka jump off a high place)
- Using some of the existing "immunity" abilities like Stoneform, the paladin's bubble, or Ice Block for mages.

"Being A zombie
- Take your gear off, you get durability loss when you die, gear has no weight on the zombie skills
- You need to feed to heal yourself. You lose HP just standing around and you are a "soft" target.
- Retch heals zombies that stand in it. Make sure you stick together in a group, the more the merrier.
- Mangle! heals you with each bite that lands

"Unbecoming a Zombie
- If you are infected, seek out an Argent Dawn Healer, they are scattered about the lands, usually in the cities there are a few
- Have another player Cleanse you (or cure disease).
- Die as a zombie. This will be like you died normally and requires a corpse run (or get rez'd by a player)."

I for one am grateful for this useful information.

I'm gone for a week and you post nothing!?!?!?!

What's to post? You're the only one reading this. You probably always were.

I'm not going to waste my time writing something that only one other person reads--especially when nobody thinks anything I say in-game is worth hearing anyway.

There've been days lately when I've thought about turning in my rank. What's the point of being an RP officer if nobody thinks they have to listen?

Well you always get the perks as an officer >.> . Anyway you haven't really been screaming out for the guild to go here. And yes no one will know about it until you move to the WOW rp forums.....no they're not that scary.

Yeah, I'm not going to throw a tantrum over this. I've pointed the guild over here many times, and never get any results.

I'll think about the RP forums. I've seen how some of those folks behave, and I'd rather not have twenty of them over here ripping me to shreds about how I still have a level-20 set of mail bracers on a 44 paladin. (Never mind that they're really quite sweet bracers; I'll still hear about it.)

Of course, if I'm mistaken about the nature of the regular crowd on said forum, I'll happily oblige ya.

Well the normal crowd is usually polite and welcomes new things......the others though?....who knows. But do it!
