Hacker Attack Results in Thousands of Player and Non-Player Character 'Deaths' in World of Warcraft

Throughout history, wars and plagues have wiped out entire cities and civilizations, leaving behind nothing but corpses and tears. Strangely enough, the same thing happened yesterday in World of Warcraft when hackers took advantage of an exploit that allowed them to march through various realms, destroying every character they came across, even non-player characters (NPCs).

Thousands of players simply dropped dead, including everyone in Orgrimmar and Stormwind, to name just two of the affected realms. Blizzard later acknowledged the exploit, which it promptly hotfixed, though not in time for those who met their maker unexpectedly.

I can imagine how pissed off those who died are, but I really had to laugh when I saw this. The person who made this video was fortunate they could go into stealth to watch all this happening. I was wondering why he didn't try to kill the hacker...until I saw, toward the end, someone else try...and fail.

Sucks to be in that game, I guess.
