The plague hits WoW

Thanks to Martin for reporting this bit-tech.net news on the plague in WoW. People that fight the god Hakkar in Zul'Gurub get a disease debuff which is contagious, so some of them promptly teleported home and infected the major cities. The reaction of Blizzard is brilliant, they are treating it as a world event and report in character about the latest hotfix not working:

It appears that the hotfix remedy concocted to combat the recent Azerothian outbreak has not yielded desired results. At this time, our medical staff is continuing to develop an effective cure. We look forward to ensuring the health and vitality of the citizens of Azeroth in the near future.
