Death knight plague epidemic strikes Azeroth
Late last night, Azeroth bore witness to destruction not seen since its populace became the unfortunate victims of Hakkar's Corrupted Blood plague. Deathwing himself could not have foreseen the havoc unleashed by the unfortunate bug which allowed death knight players to cast their plagues, Blood Plague and Frost Fever, on friendly targets. The bug was hotfixed in the early hours of this morning. The Corrupted Blood plague of 2005 was so virulent that, even without willing player carriers, it would have spread throughout Azeroth perfectly well on its own. Last night's plague epidemic was quite different: it had no ability to spread on its own at all. The infection came entirely from the hands of death knights themselves who, true to their nature, decided global extinction was the path to success when presented with the ability to enact it. Two days ago, September 13, marked 7 years since the original Corrupted Blood incident. A new epidemic is certainly one way to celebrate the anniversary, but WoW Insider recommends a candlelight vigil as a potential alternative for 2013. %Gallery-165453%
Death Knight creation bug solution
There is a bug currently affecting the creation of Death Knights after you have installed Wrath of the Lich King.If you get an error when creating the Death Knight, and you have met the requirements of having a level 55 character on the server in which you're creating the Death Knight, just make a new level 1 character first.After that character is created, you can then create your Death Knight without any more problems.I have to wonder how the bug came to be, and why they weren't able to fix it. We probably won't know either of those answers. But at least we have a quick and dirty fix.Happy Northrending!
