"The New Plague" World Event

In the buildup to release for Wrath, Blizzard introduced in-game events much
as in the lead-up to the previous expansion: The Burning Crusade. Immediately
noticable were several new Non-Player Character's released into World of
Warcraft in each major city, starting zone, and outpost by the name of "Argent
Healer". These new characters are to help fight the New Plague that has been
released in Azeroth from "Conspicous Crates" found in Booty Bay, a neutral
faction city. Upon a player examining the crates, they would become infected
with a disease. After 10 minutes, or until the player was killed, the Player
would automatically resurrect as a zombie, and in turn, have his ability's
changed to those to help spread the infection. As time progressed, the time
limit to become infected grew shorter and the infection spread far and wide.
Sporadic invasions of undead also occured at set intervals.

Open play

Wrath of the Lich King was announced at BlizzCon 2007, and one zone and
dungeon was playable hands-on to the participants there. Subsequently, a
more complete version was available for play at BlizzCon 2008.

The 2008 Blizzard Worldwide Invitational (June 28 and 29 2008) also
offered hands-on play of Wrath.
