All You Zombies: A Message From Your Lich King
My deepest apologies.
It is my understanding that my invading forces, in their attempts to besiege your cities and snuff out all life on Azeroth, have inconvenienced the activities of common civilians. In the future, I will ensure that your commanding officers are informed well in advance of planned invasion times so that they may properly fortify themselves.
I have also looked into the issue of my plague being too quick in its purpose and too difficult to cure. Please be reassured that I have taken the matter up personally with my top necromancers and that any further incarnations of said plague should be only a slight challenge for your natural immune systems to overcome. Please forward any additional complaints to either Kel’thuzad or Anub’arak.
Regards,
the Lich King Arthas.

That’s really funny. I really enjoyed that post a lot
I just hope Blizzard continues to do this in the future. The event added something to the experience of playing and was memorable. Sure it was a pain in the ass to do anything in Ironforge on Sunday, but it was still something I’ll remember.
I hope Blizzard doesn’t cave into pressure from people who complain loudly.

That post is so sincere, you could have jeff kaplan write that apology word for word and no one would be the wiser.
Then again, jeff kaplan wouldn’t apologize for fucking the neighbor’s dog.

What a sweetheart. Surely the Lich King Arthas didn’t want to inconvenience anyone, right?

Events are fine. Changing the world is fine. Enabling sh!tsacks to grief people who specifically selected to NOT engage in PVP play is not.
I’m glad I canceled my WoW account over a year ago (over queues), and the mismanaged crap like this event re-inforces that decision.
Handle events like Turbine. Asherons Call had world changing events, but you didn’t have to deal with mouth breathing misanthropes who got their jollies from ruining other peoples nights to participate. And for the most part, you weren’t forced to at all.

A well written response, elicited a chuckle from me.
Of course, it just underlines the disconnect between the parties: the importance of a distinction of in-game and out-of-game norms and the developers need to respect them. This is the “problem of evil” in RPGs – you want High-Fantasy Evil, not the banality of corpse camping and newb squashing.

And if there is one thing that’s banal, it’s a zombie apocalypse.

Aet:
Zombie Apocalypse == Good.
Auction House Griefing == Bad.
The difficulty of trying to get one without the other is why we pay the developers the big bucks.
