Blizzard has an ongoing zombie event for their new expansion. Players can turn into zombies and attack their own faction in capital cities. They can also attack their own npcs. Anything they attack turns into a zombie. If a zombie npc kills a human player they still take a durability loss have have to waste gold on repairing.
Long story short blizzard allows wow player to war dec their own faction. Even with the little to no loss from dieing in wow, their forums are now a flood of pink rainbow tears. Some of the threads are real winners.

Yep and if I wasn't stuck in Afghanistan I would have re-subbed just to be a zombie
But yes, I mean.. C'MON, IT'S THE FREAKIN' ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE AND YOU GUYS ARE WHINING! WTF!
If this was Eve we'd already have the Mega Brain Eaters alliance and the Federation Anti-Zombie Task Force alliance, and I doubt anyone would be complaining.
Well, maybe some mission runners, but they don't really count. ----- My in Eve Profile My BattleClinic Page |

This is priceless, ok, appearently the zombies even move slower and are quite easy to avoid, but the little carebears still whine and cry.
Lets just hope all those that quit because of this wont come to eve. |

WoW players don't understand that the point of an MMO is to interact with other players and impact their play as well as them impacting yours. They have been locked in a cement sandbox for 5 years and as soon as blizz gives the playerbase some freedom half the community goes crazy with the new expanded game boundaries and the other half who should really be playing a single player RPG complains on the forums.
MMOs are about a world that sometimes does not go your way whether you like it or not.
thats why im playing EvE =] |

This is indeed true, but what ive noticed is due to ccp's avertising, alot of new people are ex wowits and want to export their thinking into this game, this is scary to me as there arent many mmos out there as well known as eve and as open to free pvp between players. |

Me too i hope CCP does not sell out to get more $$$ =/
UPDATE: All space is now 1.0 UPDATE: Piracy will get you perma-banned UPDATE: War-decing has ben removed from the game. UPDATE: You can no longer salvage Human players. UPDATE: New and better ships will come out every 2 months. Not different ships. The same ones with higher stats so players have to continually grind for isk to stand a chance. That way no one gets time to actually pvp. UPDATE: All money gained from territory control and large scale pvp will instantly be deleted from the game. You can only get Isk from PvP if its 2v2, 3v3, or 5v5. Massive combat in an MMORPG is not looked highly upon. UPDATE: if you lose a ship, it respawns in your clones hanger

Edited by: N''tek alar on 27/10/2008 08:09:14 This event is awesome tbh.
Oh and also, Zombies have a skill that makes them explode, Dying of course, But infecting everything near them.
It's quite fun to get infected, Hide, And go and explode in the auction house or bank, Infecting loads of people :D
*Edit
Oh and, Whoever said he didn't think anyone in eve would complain...
Are you serious? We'd have just as much whine as the wow forums tbh, Just imagine what'd happen when the mission runners realised that these zombies could attack them in high sec without getting concorded! |

Its mental fun. Stormwind on my server is completely saturated with zombies, its impossible to actually get to the back part of it. Ended up taking refuge in the bank with hunters using scattershot to keep the bastards away.
BUT, anyone trying to level is screwed. Zombies can kill the quest giving NPCs. Hell, I had issues running my dailies because all the damned zombies in Shattrath City killed my quest-givers.
Either way, my guild went on a zombie survival marathon last night, unfortunately I didn't make it out alive :<
People will whine though, they would in EVE. If some kind of spatial anomaly bust into the carebears missions and instantly vaporised all of their rats and ****ed up their objectives so they couldn't hand in their missions, you'd hear it then. OH you'd hear it then.
"OMG WTF ME NO DO MOAR MISSIONS STUPID ANOMALY NERF WORLD EVENT"
Tbh I can imagine the EVE-Whine being worse than the WoW-Whine, and after seeing how CCP folded to the Nano ships, I can imagine they would INSTANTLY reverse any kind of mission-busting effect.
So who's more carebear? Haha.
I could NEVER in a million years see CCP put something into EVE that massively disrupts EVERYONES play. In essence, it would be like turning Empire space into 0.0 for a few weeks. The whining would be EPIC. |

i havent played wow at all. yet after browsing their forum for like 5 minutes i had to stop reading, cause i might have died by massive laughter about how carebearish these guys are. thanks for bringing this up, cnuchavez
It's nothing personal. I just want your stuff, and more importantly the fun of the fight. |

Goes to show that even when you add the most awesome event to a game there is still crying about it. I am having a lot of fun zombie ganking those people on my own faction I never could stand, and I seem to not be the only one having that idea |

Well I was going to jump in and join those who laugh at WoW for once but this thread instead just turned into a EvE whine thread. How ****ed up is that ****.

There are plenty of examples when blizzard has caved in to forum whine as well.

some valid points except if blizz allowed "guild dec'ing" allowing alliance or horde to walk into any city and kill someone they have guild dec'ed the amount of whining would be immeasurable.
Combine that with loss of gear upon death and oh man..... Things would not be pretty. WoW is far more carefree than EvE.

Edited by: Ryan Scouse''UK on 27/10/2008 20:43:28 I now play wow & I have to say the zombie thing is amazing !! All over wow no were is safe! Your quest giver ur flight master everything can turn into a zombie with a 1min cool down,
If you attack or touch another zombie you will turn into a zombie unless you find a cure within 60seconds ( down from 120seconds ) It gets faster & faster as we get to holloweens end 31st Oct , Its dam right amazing think of OG if anyone plays wow here, the City its self 1 guy turns a group of guards into zombies next thing every guard is a zombie half people in the city are zombies only way to kill them is with range attacks.
Once you die a second time as a zombie you become a ghost & can reform into ur true self once more until you are hit by another zombie!
You can control upto 4 zombies ( none players ) you can run at players spill some kind of gas cloud which slows human players down or heals other zombies & you can bite there brains its amazing :D Sadly it will only last another 6 days.
EVE IS DEAD join everyone in WOW. You can find me on the Zen server & make sure not to join alliance as its full of kids. |

Nah, I gave up on it. Even after making a tutorial (that mitnal erased ) people still couldn't figure out how to easy link stuff and all I did was allow them to continue being lazy about it. Instead now I just post a note refusing to look at anything people link until it's easy linked.
Thanks for linking those btw
