Corrupted Blood Incident Is Helping Researchers With The Fight on Coronavirus
For long-time WoW players, the recent Coronavirus pandemic is not the first time they have been dealing with a global-scale disease. In September of 2005, with the original release of the
Zul'Gurub
raid, a virtual plague broke out of the raid and proceeded to kill off entire servers for an entire week. Although the so-called Corrupted Blood incident did not cause any real-life deaths, the virtual pandemic did captivate scientists who played WoW.
In 2007, a research paper was written, mentioning how WoW's original disease spread could be used as a tool to model future epidemics in the real world, and now, more than a decade later, the same paper is being used to help scientists research a cure for the Coronavirus. In an interview with
PC Gamer
, researchers mention how the Corrupted Blood incident is helping the fight on the most recent epidemic.

To celebrate the first
Warsong Gulch Battleground Holiday in Classic

Rokman has put together a detailed Advanced Guide, highlighting every aspect of a premade match, covering topics such as timers for each respawn in Warsong Gulch, flag mechanics, map callouts, jump spots, phases of a match, class builds and items, consumables, equipment, where each player should be and should be doing during each phase of the match, and a detailed breakdown of team compositions for both Alliance and Horde.
