A bug in the game "World of Warcraft" has caused a plague that has killed thousands of players' characters. Corrupted blood from one of the bosses can kill weak characters instantly and stronger characters can heal themselves, so nothing was supposed to come of this. However, it was found that if a pet got infected with the corrupted blood, it acted as a carrier, infecting anyone nearby. Soon entire virtual towns had been lain waste by pets returning from this mission. It's interesting to see a computer bug act like a real life disease.
