Alongside a launch date, Blizzard shared Afterlives: Bastion, the first of Wow gold classic four animated shorts developed to expand the narrative of Shadowlands. The short centers on a familiar face from the Warcraft universe: Uther.

World of Warcraft: Shadowlands big pre-expansion event is live on the test servers and it has unleashed an unfathomably large zombie plague on gamers, turning Azeroth’s capital cities to undead wastelands. Countless zombies are stalking the streets, devouring any NPC they can find–even including a few that provide quests–and turning them into the undead. Players that get within arm’s reach may also be infected, giving them special zom-bilities and letting them attack other players to spread the infection. Obviously, Azeroth is in utter chaos.

To be clear, this is not happening from the live version of the match but on its own public test servers. It’s here that Blizzard tests upcoming modifications to the game, such as the coming level cap squish (maximum level players will only be level 50, together with all the new level cap being 60 if Shadowlands releases) along with the overhauled new player experience. But, sometime after this fall, this event will launch on live servers–and if it is anything like what is happening today, it’ll be a bloodbath.

I’m not exactly sure when the event is functioning as intended. The auction house, sellers, and even the lender are all unusable–which might be frustrating for players that, when the event is actually reside, are just trying to go about their day to day company.

On the WoW subreddit, players have also found ways to bring the zombie infestation outside of capital cities, making entire areas of Azeroth uninhabitable. It’s amusing to realize how much this mirrors a true zombie plague, as slain players and NPCs equally change to ghouls so their numbers are constantly growing.

Fortunately, WoW game designer Jeremy Feasel confirmed the zombie invasion part of the cheap wow classic gold event is only going to be busy for a few hours throughout the day instead of all the time. I’m actually a bit disappointed with that, honestly, because I believe it’d be fun to find an all-out, 24/7 invasion that gamers have to attempt to contain–something akin to World of Warcraft’s infamous Corrupted Blood incident.
