For those preparing to do events/RP in cities - it looks like something changed in the last half hour or so, and Bloodthirsty Ghouls have begun appearing in Stormwind Harbour and the Valley of Heroes.
There also appears to be some level of phasing attached as a bunch of people have disappeared.
It has begun.
Young heroes, I was once like you. You have come to this place seeking to bring judgement upon the damned.
You will venture deep into forgotten lands. You will see wonders beyond imagining. But, be warned. The land itself will rise up against you. Long forgotten terrors will smother your courage. Sacrifice everything as the final darkness falls… In the end, all that awaits you is death.
Only then will you understand, you’ve been following in my footsteps all along.
So come then, you heroes! Come in all your power and glory!
For in the final hour, all must serve the one… true… king…
Sharding is also back, yes. Stormwind is definitely sharded at the moment.
Which means we can forget about pre-patch RP, I guess.
Yep sharding has returned to Stormwind and Orgrimmar. It has come again. The Scourge are here to kill everything, including RP
Imagine if we could just shard all the OOCers that clog up trade district.
Also, it is worth noting that bloodthirsty ghouls =/= infectious ghouls. There’s been bloodthirsty ghouls dotted around Stormwind for the last week or so. Inconspicuous crates start spawning tomorrow, which cause players to become infectious ghouls.
Yeah - though I think they were much less frequent? It definitely feels like something flipped earlier. The Icecrown rare timer has reset too.
US servers or at least people as normal angry on their forums instead reporting ghouls and invasions and general chaos.
Edit: Ignore me, seems people are generally just confused due to the small hotfix.
I know that’s Lich King you’re quoting, but where is it from?
I think that was quoted on the raid against the Lich King, just before you face him.
There were a lot more crates spawning earlier in the day on NA servers, but they seem to all be gone now. NA is sharded too.
I wonder if the small icecrown rare hotfix sort of made things in the background go wonky with the second week ghoul invasion stuff. It caused a sharding hiccup at any rate.
Found it.
Thank-you, I was so unsure. Love that reveal trailer.
“Destructible Buildings”. Great use they made of that since then…
Azeroth would be just one huge wasteland if they had gone through with it.

Just in case anyone is interested, using boats and mage/portal room portals remove the zombie disease debuffs or even the zombie state.
However! Using a warlock portal and getting summoned even in an instanced zone (eg. Exodar) lets you summon an infected player and the debuff wont drop.

Happy infecting everyone!
I just want to casually mention this thread:
According to this thread, you get automatically flagged in SW / OG.
Is it time to grief OOCers to death in SW in the trade district?
It be.

The OP of that thread is weak sauce
