If you lived through World of Warcraft's Corrupted Blood incident, you'll probably remember it as one of the most memorable (and potentially terrifying) moments in online gaming history. This week, World of Warcraft Classic players got a chance to experience that very same plague anew.
Per Redditor Lightstruckx (via Massively Overpowered), players on Classic's Season of Discovery server managed to recreate Corrupted Blood a few days ago, carrying the eponymous debuff into the Alliance capital of Stormwind City, where it proceeded to decimate the population just like the first time.
Lightstruckx's accompanying video shows exactly the kind of carnage you'd expect from Corrupted Blood; players are taking periodic damage ticks from the debuff and dropping like flies as healers fail to outpace the relentless disease.
One commenter beneath Lightstruckx's video imagines the carnage if Corrupted Blood somehow made its way to one of World of Warcraft Classic's hardcore servers, which feature permadeath; you've got one life, and after you lose it, it's over for your character.
Of course, I hope this doesn't happen for the sake of everyone who's managed to build up a treasure trove of loot and gear in hardcore mode, but on the other hand, I can't...
