Plague ravages World of Warcraft!

I mean it quite literally. An online plague "Corrupted Blood" is wiping out players in the streets by the hundreds, both high and low level characters. You can see the full story here: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/technology/4272418.stm

Another interesting but slightly off topic articles can be found here, about other uses for video games in the growing modern world.

Including this one about behaviors caused by gaming:

Could this be the cause of the ever-so-annoying "Im 733t pwnz0r j00 n00b" culture?

Not surprised. There have been past bugs that had a similiar effect like the plague mentioned. But I'm surprised the plague became such a big issue that it's now in the news.
