Over the past weekend, a significant virtual contagion emerged within World of Warcraft, specifically affecting the Moonguard server. This marks the second instance in the game’s history where a severe in-game affliction has spread extensively among its players, echoing a memorable past event.

Community analysis, initially highlighted by Wowhead, points to a specific origin for this widespread issue. The source is reportedly found within Brackenhide Hollow, a dungeon from the Dragonflight expansion, where certain foes employ a spell referred to as ‘Withering.’ This ability is believed to be the catalyst for the unexpected in-game outbreak.

This report is based on findings initially reported by GameSpot.
