An virtual plague devastating a virtual world. This is just so cool. Science fiction is charging down this way from somewhere in the future.
Many online discussion sites were buzzing with reports from the disaster zones with some describing seeing "hundreds" of bodies lying in the virtual streets of the online towns and cities.
Blizzard tried to control the plague by staging rolling re-starts of all the servers supporting the Warcraft realms and applying quick fixes.
However, there are reports that this has not solved all the problems and that isolated pockets of plague are breaking out again.
Blizzard is the company that created the online game (World of Warcraft) which was infected far more than intended by a virtual plague.
