Rakghoul plague has infested Tatooine!

SWTOR keeps getting better, I like it.

I will give points to this. This type of thing is part of that 'certain something the game has been missing'.

You get to infect people on the station! Best part so far.

It's good to see EA putting in an effort for the player-base.

I jumped into the quest chain this morning. So nice to finally see some mmo things happening to this game.

Maybe they started playing their own game or actually hired someone with authority that actually gets it.

Still a long way to go but if they keep this kind of thinking up then it's a start.

World event happening RIGHT NOW. I SWtor US.

Be more accurate.

and one bit of effort doesn't make a terrible game good.

Wow they put One of the bosses in Outlaws den. That's where you can attack both factions.

We had two Imperial ops and two republic ops all fighting each other while fighting the boss. Crazy.

That is too cool. It'll be a while before I can jump in to try it, but I am excited.

I bet you are the kind of person that tries to give a little kid a brain freeze just to watch them cry aren't you. Party pooper >.<

The first year of WoW they made national news with a Plague that got out of control and killed everyone in the entire game off. It made the 6:00 news and major news papers. A huge MMORPG was still a novelty, and the idea that it could lose control of a diease and wipe out the player population was found amusing. Google it for an interesting look at gaming history. While you are at it google the WoW Guild ,"Loot Train", for how organized, virtual crime can infest a game. I was there to see all that first hand. I am History. Wait, that is Will Smith.

I don't know if cutting and pasting the WOTLK zombie infestation event is a long term solution. When they did it on WOW all that happened was the Carebear raiders complained all the time until they got it eliminated, I imagine the same amount of QQ will occur.

Besides it's not like using a wow event in a wow clone is groundbreaking or anything.

That was different, because it was meant to be a raid only plague, that got carried over into the non instanced world, where there was NO cure for it, and when they coded a cure it didn't work the first time. This is just a typical zombie event, hit someone someone becomes zombie that person hits someones they become zombie, grief greif, lol lol etc. But its meant to work that way so people wont die in massive numbers and get infected everywhere they go and immediately die again.

Funny, I play on an EU server and the plague has spread there too.

Try again...

Definately the right direction to be going in. These world events are what make an MMO pop. Logging in and finding something totally unexpected happening is awesome :)

Hopefully they wont make the same mistake FE made and end up with the "plague" spreading exponentially between players and getting out of control. Although that was funny. I think it was able to infect mounts and NPCs too. 

doing the quests for this event was the first time it actually felt like i was on a pvp server, which was something that was missing from the game.

It's sure as hell fun though
