This in game virus just goes to show how complex this game is. No doubt a true player of this game would embrace this "kink". I wish they would launch it again. A smart player could use this "virus" to their benefit. Launching catastrophic attacks on majorly populated WoW cities is nothing new. Warlocks can easily set off a beast in a city which takes out anything it comes across. A virus is just more exciting in my opinion.
