Brain Flakes: Start your zombie day off the right way!

You'll probably know about the Zombie Infestation event that's currently on the go in preparation for the release of Wrath. If you don't, then zombies are appearing all over Azeroth and are attempting to turn players who in turn go on to infect entire villages.

So, being the RP-wannabe that I am I've refused to spend much time as a zombie (apart from when I found out that using Divine Shield whilst infected will instantly turn you) and instead am focusing on cleansing everybody that I can and patrolling the low-level areas near to Stormwind. Westfall seems to be a hotspot of Scourge activity, so I'm spending most of my online time there protecting low level questers and some of the more essential NPC's.

It's also a fantastic excuse to let rip with some of my more powerful anti-undead spells and give some players a taste of what a paladin can do. The zombies are currently rather easy to take down, however they're very likely to infect you with the plague which is proving harder to dispel as time goes by.

The constant development of the plague and new vectors (Cockroaches now) appearing in cities suggests that Blizzard are building up to something; Probably involving good 'ol Arthas paying us a visit sometime soon.
