wow classic gold: Shadowlands big pre-expansion event is live on the test servers and it's unleashed an unfathomably large zombie plague on gamers, turning Azeroth's capital cities to undead wastelands. Countless zombies are stalking the streets, devouring any NPC they can find--even including some that provide quests--and turning them into the undead. Players who get within arm's reach may also be infected, giving them special zom-bilities and letting them attack other players to spread the infection.

To be clear, this isn't occurring in the live version of the game but on its own public test servers. It's here that Blizzard evaluations upcoming changes to the game, like the coming level cap squish (maximum level players will now only be level 50, with the new level cap being 60 when Shadowlands releases) along with the overhauled new participant experience. But, sometime after this autumn, this event will start on live servers--and when it is anything like what is happening today, it is going to be a bloodbath.

I am not exactly sure if the event is working as planned. Right now, Stormwind is completely overrun with ghouls which are rampaging through the streets and slaughtering everything that goes. The auction house, vendors, and even the lender are all unusable--that might be frustrating for gamers that, once the event is actually live, are just trying to go about their day to day business.

Over on the WoW subreddit, players have also found ways to attract the zombie infestation outside capital cities, making whole areas of Azeroth uninhabitable. It is amusing to see how much the mirrors a real zombie plague, as slain players and NPCs equally transform to ghouls so their numbers are constantly growing.

Fortunately, WoW sport designer Jeremy Feasel affirmed the zombie invasion portion of the event will only be active for a couple of hours through the day instead of all the time. I'm actually a little disappointed with that, frankly, because I think it would be fun to see yet another all-out, 24/7 invasion which gamers need to try and contain--something similar to World of Warcraft's notorious Corrupted Blood incident.

The Scourge Invasion is only one part of Shadowlands' pre-launch event. Players may also venture into the frigid wastes of Northrend to buy wow gold classic fight bosses and earn powerful loot, and there is also a new story quest to try .
