Deadly plague hits Warcraft world

Old news... but I found the funniest bit to be the last paragraph:

"The "Corrupted Blood" plague is not the first virtual disease to break out in online worlds. In May 2000 many players of The Sims were outraged when their game characters died because of an infection contracted from a dirty virtual guinea pig."

Yes, I've just read the article, which amused me greatly. Clearly WoW hasn't been stocking enough antivirals. :)

Although you have to wonder... how did people catch something from a dirty guinea pig? What were they doing to it? Do I really want to know?
