Player reactions to WoW zombie plague are both positive and negative

I don't quite get what you mean by calling WoW static. World events, open air pvp, players running around everywhere interacting with each other, auctionhouses, an enormous and active community, continually expanding content etc.....

I wonder what you would call a dynamic game then (apart from Eve).

WoW (and pretty much all MMOs) are mostly static because no matter what the players do, nothing ever changes. Or at least not for long. No matter how many times the players kill Van Cleef, Ragnaros or Kil'jaden, they're still there for the next person to kill. No matter how many times players 'save' a town it is still in the same peril when you come though the next time.

The only time that things really change is on Blizzard's will, such as with the citizens of the Lower City Bazaar (Griftah, Cro Threadstrong, Granny Smith etc). Or in major events like the opening of Ahn Qiraj or the Dark Portal.

With this event though, players have more control than ever. It's still all scripted by Blizzard, and things will go back to more or less normal given time, but the players have more control over this event than any other in the past.

They can choose to be infected and infect others. They can choose to fight against the Scourge invasion or try to pretend it's not happening. (Sorry to all the people complaining that the event is interrupting their questing and such, but there's a major war going on here. You can't expect in a warzone to just pop off down to the store as if nothing was happening.)

And in the end, player-zombies make more interesting and devious foes than having some low level undead hanging around outside major cities waiting to be farmed for their event item drops.

WoW's pretty static, but you have to give Blizzard some kudos for trying to liven things up.

Still, their efforts pale in comparison to say Asheron's Call. Anyone who played it knows what I mean. Of course, most of you haven't since the majority of you began playing MMOs when WoW went retail or sometime after.

Dumbest thing that could ever been put in the game

I'm enjoying this event. Its something new and different and its only temporary. The people that are complaining are probably the same ones who complain that Blizzard doesn't add enough new content.
