Wouldn't it be funny if a GM (sorry don't play WoW, but Everquest used to call them GM's) was online in this realm when this happened? The GM's like looking all powerful and this guy comes up and spoils his mood and kills him instantly and the GM is like "WTF just happened?"!!! Lol! That would be really priceless!

More awesome that the avatar was like a peasant girl, even more cool was the person who killed the peasant girl through a giant fireball from the sky out of no where to end the plague for a moment.

There were a few people comparing this to the plague incident in vanilla. What drama queens, this comes no where close.

It's not quite as completely awesome as the Lord British frag in Ultima Online (Killed the online toon representing the company running the MMO for you young'uns)... but it is very cool pwnage indeed.

Man if this happened back in the EQ days, now that would have been devastating. Back in EQ the exp loss from death was substantial. Fun times. I miss EQ.

Now this is the kind of hacking I like 5* to the hacker.
Now maybe the players can go down the pub, find a woman, and have some freaky S%$ ;)
