Sorry Norfy didn't see the message but yes I've done a few of the Halloween quests. I've done some of the dailies and I've been to every alliance inn with the candy jar. That got me a full level and a half so I'm 57 now because of it.
There's a PVP one in Southshore I didn't do and there are a good deal I can't do because I'm not 60 so...

Nah its ok. I logged off anyways cause I was bored. I'm in one of those dumb ass moods where I'm bored yet I can't find anything to entertain myself with. I don't feel like playing WoW, I don't feel like playing any single player games, I don't feel like watching TV. I pretty much just don't feel like doing anything that I normally like doing. I hate these little slumps. You ever get those?

Been in one all summer and can't get out of it so...yep. >_>
EDIT
Apparently....the Forsaken have completed their new Plague, as it's wreaking havoc on the server. If you're infected, you become PvP flagged...and that doesn't mean to the opposite faction. You can even attack your own faction.
It's extremely annoying and it serves to allow nothing but harassment, because when you're a zombie, you can attack NPCs. So you have high levels being dicks and slaughtering everything and everyone.
Don't expect to get any questing done in lowbie areas for awhile.

What is this, part of the halloween event? I'm rather confused... Whatever is going on, it sounds like it sucks, to be sure. Now is a good time for LOTRO I guess.

No, it's not for Halloween. It's for the expansion coming up. Apparently the Burning Crusade had a similar world event. This is a direct reference to the game lore, as this almost event for event happened in Warcraft 3.
Except in Warcraft 3 you didn't have high levels being dicks.

We don't know if it is arthas or the forsaken causing the plauge. It's a very fun event having zombie armies running around. I have been both a zombie and as a priest trying to cure the disease.
The event is supposed to evolve. The rumor is that tonight we will see a phase two with stronger scourge forces. I look forward to seeing the story unfold for the expansion.

I didn't know about this at all. Where does it take place?

Everywhere. There are now NPC zombies and now there are infected cockroaches (ew) in all the major cities AND they reduced the amount of Argent Dawn healers so it's almost guaranteed you're gonna be infected and zombified. I was very close to becoming a zombie because I went AFK to scan the AH and came back within seconds and the healer in the AH was finally bothered to heal me. I'm not about to find out if I lose durability for this. I'm gonna stick on LotRO until this passes over.
This ruined the Halloween even too because now all the NPCs can't stay alive long enough for you to do the dailies...and even they do, you don't, or there aren't enough people to help you. Wonderful timing.

Well if its still around tomorrow maybe I'll check it out. Even if it is a pain in the ass. Lili is now level 50 and can summon the powerhouse FelGuard. This thing is a freakin BEAST! I've also been really lucky with groups latly too which is great. I met a good pair while running Zul'Farrak on Tuesday and they invited me to a group again today. Its good to group again after 45 levels of solo play. EDIT>> This may make me sound like a complete dork but I noticed a few things that the female blood elf says are obselete since the release of the latest patch. /silly "You mean I'm stuck with this hair color?"The game has hairstylists now. /flirt "My Mana Tap brings all the boys to the yard!"Mana Tap doesn't exist anymore. Its all Arcane Torrent now. *endnerdyrant*

Zombie invasion!
OK I have 3 accounts of this because I play my three characters differently.
Hortario:
There I was strolling down the road in STV. What did I see near the arena? A zombie! Oh noes! So I proceed to attack.
Low and behold an army of zombies runs out of the arena and swarms me. I try to heal but it is just too much. POOF! I become a zombie.
So I joined their army and proceeded to slowly walk down to the horde area (Always forget its name starts with a G though) and we prepared. Soon the town was overrun with zombies. The Horde were doing their best against us but we were more in numbers. We had the entire town under our control when a raid of Horde came rushing in to take back the town. We fought for about an hour before the Horde finally drove us out.
It was an epic battle!
Almuhan:
I arrived in Orgrimmar only to find utter chaos. Zombies everywhere, people fighting only to fail.
I swapped into my healing gear and began dropping disease cleansing totems to try and battle the plague. It seemed to do very little. I was cleansing as best I could but we were overwhelmed. We continued to fight the invasion and pushed them back towards the entrance. There were bodies everywhere.
I have a video of the carnage that I need to upload.
Eventually the zombie army was defeated and we could relax a bit.
Vortia:
Stormwind was under attack. Not only did we have zombies coming at us from all directions but a Horde army decided to take the oppurtunity to attack. Vortia was doing her best to keep people healed and cured of the plague, but with all the healing needing done it was too much for her. Finally I found a group of 2 priests and a paladin standing in the middle of town just outside the auction house. I joined them and the 4 of us continued to heal and cleanse. I probably stayed in that exact spot for over an hour helping my people.
We eventually got rid of the zombies only to lose ground to the Horde. But then the most horrifying thing happend. The entire Horde army turned into zombies!
It was more chaos. Soon entire alliance groups were falling victim to the zombie horde attack. People were running around dying of the disease and the 4 of us could do nothing to combat the Horde zombies. The paladin fell first and we tried to revive him but were under attack ourselves. We spammed heals and cleansing and did our best, but soon it was down to only 2 priests. NPCs every where were turning and Stormwind was full of zombies once more.
We both ended up dying at the same time. We did our best but the invading horde army used the plague to their advantage. Sneaky bastards.
This has been the best event EVER!

At first I didn't really like it cause I just wanted to use the auction house and I got turned into a zombie. After when I chose to get involved it became fun. My stories aren't nearly as epic as yours though. This event has some quests too. Near Lights Hope Chapel in Eastern Plaguelands. I have them I just havn't done them yet.

Well finish those quests quickly if you want to. They received a lot of backlash about this that they're ending it early. Tomorrow I think is going to be the last day.

Yeah I can see why really. Lots of people in Trade are complaining about it.

Its not over. They found a cure for the plague (Part of the event it was not canceled early)
The Citadels are still floating over the cities though. They even lowered after teh zombies went away. Something BIG is abotu to happen.
