Warcraft characters turning into zombies, Lich King imminent

Eurogamer reports that the world of WoW is currently undergoing a zombie invasion which is all part of the up and coming Lich King expansion's imminent arrival.

From the article:

Infected crates in the town of Booty Bay give players ten minutes to be healed by one of the healers of the Argent Dawn faction - who have conveniently appeared all over the world - before they're turned into a shambling Ghoul.

If you fail (or succeed, depending on your viewpoint), you'll be hostile to everyone and everything in the game except other zombies, and you'll get a new skill bar with zombie abilities, including the ability to spread the plague to other players.

Sounds great. Any VG247 readers turning into zombies? No. Don't answer that.
