I'd like to encourage those who are updating this forum with news of effects of the Scourge...for those of us stuck at work this has been very informative as to what we are missing. Please post more screen-shots so we can live vicariously through you while the man keeps us down.
Also, this forum will be a kind of documentary for those who start WoW after WotLK and hear about this event so please think about that when giving updates.
Thank you everyone who answers the call to scribe the events as they happen! You are a blessing to those of us who want, more than anything, to be participating but can't. :-)

Just be glad zombies dont exist in most instances.
THEN we'd be screwed.

This is old news but some people still may not know it.
As a zombie it is possible to enter through ANY portal in Shatrath. As a Horde Zombie you can travel through Exodar, Ironforge, Stormwind and Darnassus portal and Vice Versa with Orgrimmar, Silvermoon, Thunder Bluff and Undercity for Alliance.
I didn't think it would be that huge at first but in the past few days I've seen...
A failed Undercity raid
A successful Silvermoon City raid
A failed Ogrimmar raid
A failed Exodar raid
A failed Stormwind City raid
All from 10 - 15 happy go lucky zombies going through the opposing factions portal and then thinking "hey lets die and then summon more when we get our bodies back"
Not sure if its meant to be allowed or if it is a glitch but it is a hell of a lot easier for those trying to do the Wrath of The (Alliance/Horde) achieve,ent to kill 5 enemy players in each of their capital cities.

The ultimate mass money sink...
Anyone consider the financial implications of this event? Not only has using the auction house become impossible, repair bills are going through the roof.
I can be certain that none of my auctions that would normally sell on my server aren't going to because of this event and that it is unlikely I'll be able to put them back up on auction without corpse walking at least two or three times.
That's my QQ and I'm sticking to it.

I did have a thought of a certain benefit of the invasion. I bet this event is wrecking absolute havoc on gold farmers.

I'm not logging in again until this damn thing is over. I'm spending 50+ gold a day in repairs and I'm not even raiding right now. And that's on my priest! I don't even WANT to say how much gold is being wasted on my hunter with repairs, food to keep my damn pet happy since the idiots kill my pet first, and money not earned because i can't turn in a single quest.

*SIGH* This zombie hell is taking up too much of peoples mind now..
Several people (incl. atleast 8 from my guild) refuse to log in, until they are gone. I'm thinking of the same thing..
It's simply not fun, playing when you get insta-zombified (turned to zombie without being infected first), the second you land in Shat..
- You can't level a toon, as you get ganked all the time by superiour zombies
- You can't bank/AH as the toons you use for that is usually lvl 1 and ANY zombie can one-shot you.
- You can't fly around, ad flight master in most major cities are always dead.
SHAPE UP, BLIZZARD!: Stop this madness now, or loads of players will cancel their subscriptions before WotLK is released!

If you are taking part in the Wrath beta, it should. If not, it will when Wrath comes out.

I'm glad someone finally said it. From the beginning, the ability to turn into a zombie and kill any important NPC has seemed to me like it was designed to two things. 1) Disrupt the economy and 2) Relieve stress on the BG servers. Like childofnewlight said, repair bills going through the roof and the almost complete halt in all AH activity makes trying to earn a few extra gold for WotLK difficult.
I don't know about anyone else but my battlegroup was having some serious issues with the BG's constantly going down since the patch. Now, it's nearly impossible to queue. Problem solved?
The fine folks at Blizzard aren't stupid. They knew exactly what would happen if they gave people the ability to kill auctioneers, battlemasters and such.
With all that being said, I'm still enjoying the event. I just finished picking up my last piece of
Blessed Regalia of Undead Cleansing
and it's given my Argent Dawn rep a decent bump.
