I got rather close to one of them as I was leaving the area and noticed that when the NPC spoke, he/she said something about me having the taint of the scourge. Does anyone know if that's new, in conjunction with the current scourge or is that something they've always mentioned?
No, this is typical Scarlet Crusade silly blind zealotry. They've been saying that kind of thing since I first rolled a character back in Jan 2007, and probably much further back than that. Basically, if you're Horde, it sounds like they're having an aneurysm. If you're Alliance, you get stuff like "You have the taint of the Scourge!" or "You will burn in the light". Or somesuch nonsense.

I can understand why people were complaining about this, but seriously... Everyone should have had a
zombie plan
. Mine was to go to Winterspring, but zombies obviously have enough body heat not to freeze in Northrend. Gilneas was my second option, but they were rather adamant about not letting anyone through the gate. I had plans to leave for Aiur, but I hear the infestation there was much worse.
If you didn't want to participate? 5, boom, no durability damage. Even better, play StarCraft!
Everyone who quit? They were just dinner.

Exactly what I did since my gamecard ran out last Friday, didn't get a new one until Monday. Perfect timing to miss the worst zombie-ing and griefing :)

It makes sense, though, that they would want to kill anyone whose been tainted with the scourge if they're trying to fight it same as we are.
The scarlet Crusade attack any player. With or without a scourge invasion occuring and with or without the so called 'taint of the scourge' They seem to be a particularly extremist group in their beliefs and the only exception i have seen is if you were to go to Scarlet Monastery: Cathedral with the Ashbringer from BWL on you
Finally! Peace from infection at last. There are still frequent attacks going on in taranis, badlands, EPL, winterspring, and azshera (i htink thats all of them). when you look on your map to where you see both eastern kingdoms and kalmidor you can see purple skulls wherever the scourge are.
Don't forget Burning Steppes or Blasted Lands. A great deal of gankage seems to occur when the Areas currently under attack are either Blasted Lands or Burning Steppes. It doesn't seem to be as bad when other areas are under attack though *At least for my PvP server those are the hot spots)

Actually, in all four wings will they do this, but most people remember Cath because of the dialogue between Mograine and his father's ghost.
And the Corrupted Ashbringer was from the Four Horsemen of pre-WotLK Naxxramas, not BWL.

Ah my bad i was confusing it with
Ashkandi, Greatsword of the Brotherhood
But yeah i remember the cathedral event but i hadnt seen anyone with it in another wing so i didnt know if it was all 4.

Blizz's knee jerk reaction to end it.
The event isn't over yet. The Infection has been cured, but there's still 12 days till the expansion comes out. I bet they've got some huge invasion crap ready(like the TBC one), perhaps involving Frost Wyrms attacking the major cities, what do I know?
One last point: How come there's not more world events?
More world events? What should that be? Blizzard can't really keep track of a thousand world events at once. When the classis WoW came out, the Burning Legion attacked every major city. When the Burning Crusade came out, armies of the Legion charged through the Dark Portal, as well as Highlord Kruul attacking major cities.
Now, with the Wrath of the Lich King, the Scourge are attacking... see the point? It's to encourage the Alliance and Horde to gather their forces together, and move up into Northrend to put an end to the invasions, just like they did in the Burning Crusade.
You can't really blame them for not having any more major events like this, as they've got several (slightly)smaller events all around the year; Hallow's End, Feast of Winterveil, Love is in the Air, etc.
Yes. It would be great with major events all the time, but that'd leave some people with no option to enjoy the rest of the game.... Myself, I love Major events, and I'd do nothing but getting everything you can get in this event, if it wasn't for my account having been hacked a couple of months ago.
