Idea for a new event: Zombie Apocalypse!

Everyone who died since boot would get recreated as a zombie. If you died 7
times, there would be 7 zombies with your name on them! The zombies could
perhaps arise in the wilderness and converge on large cities. Dying to a
zombie would cause another zombie to rise in your name, in the same general
vicinity.

While we wizards naturally love nothing more than fucking you up royally, you
actually want it, don't you? You're asking for an event that has no positive
sides for you? This is just my opinion, but I think we already have way too
many events that just messes with the players and doesn't bring any
fun-factor.
The idea seems to get some positive votes though, but at least I have too many
open projects at the present time.

Nothing prevents us from adding beneficial factors on this zombie-event if we
so wish :) And I think mortals might even like "fuck-up" events as long as
they're fun in some way :)
And now I added too many smileys on my post, but don't know how to erase them
any more. Sniffle :'(

Would be quite easy to build something benefitial in this event.

Something (or someone!) is obviously causing these zombies to spawn,
hence any players that can get it to stop (neutralize the item or the
person who is doing the zombification) should be awarded. Possibly a
boost to all players if it is done within a reasonable timeframe.

It would also give something to do in our vast overworld. And who siad the
zombies had to be Uber? Perhaps somewhere between vikings and zhents in power?

Something to consider would be a way to allow multiple people to benefit from
these fun 'screw you events'. Right now the way it works, all the highbies
get their highbie friends to kill the minimum amount of stuff needed to get to
the cool monster to get the cool benefit. Perhaps having a 'zombie commander'
or whatever mob/object there would be for each continent. Each player could
only get the spiffy benefit from one of them, which would allow those who
aren't the turbo super elite highbies to do a fun event and get some reward
every once in a while. For example, zhents. Super highbies X, Y and Z go
kill the dude with the whistle, then leave the rest runnin around town.
People killin the lame ones get nothing but a fast rising tune, while highbies
x,y,z get spiffy and not so hard eq.

And those who cant see should get infra, those who cant swim should get
waterwalking. Surely not seeing is just as painful as not ticking.

And those with no hands should get extralimbs, those with no eq should get
extrastats, those with no friends should get better solotunes, those with no
healingabilities should get better hpregens...
