Ambitious dream for an event: try to design a plague even just if its a one time event.

I think plagues are so cool in games. The fact that WoW had one and it actually contributed to science as to how they might spread, just makes me so proud to have been a part of gaming on MMOs. I think it would be amazing if the game had at least one big plague in the games living history.

Please please please! Make it like a bosses miasma or something and have a super cool plague doctor style cosmetic limited time event where if you catch the plague and survive, you get a cool title and a plague doctor mask and cloak or something!

We had the plague in EQ2, and it was horrible! Please, for the love of the gods, don't do a plague event.

Was that the Froglok introduction event thing? Fairly sure there was a plague attached to that.

Only part of that event I really remember was the raid and how bugged it was to start. My guild at the time were so pissed off at that event we didn't allow any Frogs to join the guild at all until RoK.

Excuse my horrible french but.... the fuck?

"The frogloks of Norrath were touched by the hand of the god of valor, Mithaniel Marr. They rapidly evolved from short, flimsy amphibians into a race that is both wise of spirit and formidable in battle."

The god of Valor, decided to bless... FROGS?!? Lions, Tigers, Wolves or Bears? Oh noooooooo lets bless frogs bruh!

Well, to be fair, that game did have a lizard based race, a miscellaneous cat based race, a rat based race, how far off the status quo would a frog based race be?

If you want to get in to the specifics of non-player races, things get even crazier.

No, it wasn't connected to the Froglok event. There was a single merchant you had to find that had an ingredient you needed to craft a temporary cure; there was no immunity as I remember it. There were people gleefully spreading it, and going into town surely made you sick, which meant getting to the broker, bank, etc usually made you sick, which caused interrupts in game play. Mostly people just stayed away from the 2 major cities. Being sick was a big PITA, and it did not end naturally with people getting cured, it was ended at a fixed date. It came out later on that this plague and plagues in other games launched about the same time were a coordinated social experiment.
