It's been a while! And I'm happy to present my very first non-fully machinima WoW video! Crazy I know. The whole plan was for me to take it chill and make a non-machinima video so I don't have to work too hard, with my finals coming up. But this video ended up requiring more work than a regular machinima! so there you have it :)
The topic of the Corrupted Blood incident has honestly been covered to death. Especially when doing research for this video, I realised how many MANY articles and videos there are on it, and now with covid-19 being a thing and the two topics having some similarities, even MORE content has been made on it. It's nuts. Maybe I could have skipped making a video on this topic, but I have been planning this one for months and finally decided to get it done. I also just thought that it was a fun topic to cover in a non-machinima manner, so it is what it is!
And finally, with all of this virus chaos recently, I thought it's only right to try and raise some awareness around donating to those in need and the brave people on the front-lines, so they can have better chances making it out alive and well!
Thanks for watching as always! Be sure to Subscrabee if you liked the video, comment and share it around :)

Donating to the W.H.O. is a terrible idea. I respect your intentions but they are responsible for far greater loss of life through this pandemic.
Their spread of misinformation was a result of their corruption from the Chinese authorities. They claimed for a while that humans could not even spread the disease by droplets despite the evidence.
WHO seems to be controlled by China and the controversy they made is just outrageous, i would indeed not donate to the WHO after finding out what they did earlier this year, not to mention dodging the question of Chinas involvement with them. Cool and entertaining vid tho.
My statement is not about politics, the W.H.O. are partly responsible for the acceleration of the virus, this is a fact. I will never support them.
Blizz can add this to the game again to teach people what corrona is about. :)
W.H.O. and china lied and people died
Imagine starting this game for first time. You are in Northshire and every one is dead.
I had convinced my sister to join me in the game at that time. I had not played for a couple of weeks and uh ... was largely unaware of what had happened. I had exams at the time so I never checked out the new patch before trying to bring my sister in.
We both made level 1 characters to level together but uh ... that ... happened. So naturally I booted the lvl 60 warrior to check out what the devil was that about and then realized the large scale of the issue.
My sister always has been lucky when trying video games. Back in the NES era, she managed to get Zelda II and Castlevania games that actually were flawed and impossible to finish. Her first Wii never worked. So forth.
I don't know what's up with her really. Every time she touches something electronic it mysteriously starts to fail. Which is why I never allowed her to touch my rig.
I ain't superstitious about anything. Except her ability to render electronic stuff non working in a record time.
She ain't getting anywhere near my rig, ever.
Tywin Lannister cool... uh... Story... uh.... uuuuuhhhh... bro
@@tywinlannister8015 I think you meant to say that your sister was unlucky, not lucky.
@@Vistresian1941 Nah, because I meant it as a sarcasm.

When you realize Social Distancing is just splitting up to avoid raid mechanics.
Wow players are going to be the survivors PogU
yea we should really rename social distancing to "STAY OUT OF MELEE RANGE YOU !@#$!@# !@#!$#@
All of this false plandemic in order to test control mechanisms is a 50 DKP minus!

Where is a young Menethil prince when you need him to purge a city?!
he moved to retail and got jumped by a bunch of players
@@EnderGoku9001 still..waiting on that invincible!
He’s stuck doing the RP crap before culling of strath. Give him a minute.
Needs more than the city purged. Lol
"Either intentionally or intentionally" Nothing sums up hunters better than this.
I'm a Hunter and i can confirm this 100%
That's actually warlocks.
@@bubbykins4864 actually any class with pets, because people that choose it know they suck and hope pet will do all the damage for them.
Okay, I've watched like, a dozen videos on the Corrupted Blood incident. Hell, I wrote a paper on it in high school. By all means, I had no right to click on ANOTHER Corrupted Blood video. But this has to be perhaps the best one I've seen. The effort you put into the Machinima that accompanied your script was 10/10. Completely hysterical, I loved every minute. This is serious quality, man.
I agree, my I traslate that to portuguese?
maaaan, same. i wrote an entire fckn paper on this thing, and the question of wether it (and computer games overall) could be used as a model for actual real world pandemics, factoring in different responses from different palyers and how they dealt with it. my answer was yes. and a few years later, my entire fckn paper, and my final conclusion, was proven 100% correct by covid.
Ok stop over doing it 🤣
i was there when it happened - it were nothing special and happened during some days as i remember since i heard of it and got online to orgrimmar - yes skeltons everywhere some alive - next day life continued as nothing had happened , I felt like blizzard could have done more of the event and the illnes but noo , same tame lame stuff as they always do to not loose corporate money -nothing interresting
The fact that healers became medics to stop the plague is just heartwarming to know. Players whoes goal it is to help other players will always have a special place in my heart. That said, i would have propably been one of the spreaders... on purpose. :D
I always wished I had been playing as a healer at the time it was going around because I would have been one of those healers and probably would have been an organizer to create the safe zones and get other runners to help others out of the danger zones.
We cannot be heroes... without villains to overcome. :D
@@valan2736 My first and main character at the time was a paladin, and I hit 60 right before corrupted blood. The paladins on my server organized a server-wide chat, we set up coordinated aid stations in high-traffic areas and near flight masters, and ran them in shifts 24/7. We even went so far as to organize healer raids into the cities for players to do their banking, auctioning, and questing. My most vivid memories of WoW at the time were bubbling to run into auction houses and banks, throwing out as many heals as I could, and running out before DS wore off.
I went straight from level 55-60 greens/blues to Freethinker's and Judgment, thanks to corrupted blood. Several guilds on my server stopped progression and suspended DKP to organize tier 0-2 raids specifically to gear up healers to help in the overworld. I never even got my banana suit until Cataclysm. Getting my charger at this time is my all-time favorite WoW memory.
There were a few of us in the chat who hadn't gotten our chargers yet, and the raiders were having NONE of it. Their guilds chipped in and got us the arcanite, diamonds, and arthas' tears, and we organized this blowout server all-star paladin raid. Out of ten paladins, one had Thunderfury (the only one on the server at the time), another had Sulfuras, and three grand marshals were in this raid. That's how high-octane this raid was, and we spent the whopping twenty minutes it took to full-clear Scholo with mass pulls pissing ourselves with laughter on Ventrilo. After working nonstop for weeks together to put a dent in that shitshow, I think we all needed the catharsis.
valan2736 Blizzard should take some inspiration from amc the walking dead and create a expansion that is like the walking dead and players are forced to ban together and build out post and defend it from undead monsters trying to invade the players out post and people whos gathering professions are alchemy are the 1s who are responsible for creating vaccine potions to help prevent the players from being able to get the plague and spread it to other players oh and if the plague eventually kills you your character comes back as a undead monster that other players have to kill and the process repeats itself until the surviving players are able to take back there respected kingdoms from the undead monsters and cure all other infected players in the area
as a healer, i absolutely would’ve been a spreader on purpose because i could just heal myself through the damage and contract it as much as possible
I was a little kid when this happened and my dad who also played the game told me to just chill in mulgore until it blew over
I wouldn't mind more videos like this, your editing is really good.
Cheers man, I appreciate it! And that could be a possibility :)
@@CaptainGrim Pls make a video around the zombie infestation event.
@@CaptainGrim Your vids are way underrated man. You should have millions of views !
Hunters lifetime Kill count: More than any other class ever of all time.
More than THE WHOLE LEGION or THE SCOURGE
Hunter: "Could you imagine a world without Hunters?!"
*Imagines a guild that raids properly and everyone is kind with sunshine and rainbows*
Hunter: "God what a nightmare."
Meanwhile, Warlocks: Interesting. So I, the class that is more statistically likely to intentionally spread it, would disappear if the, lore-wise, better morally, Hunter didn't exist?
one time I was talking in world chat and people called me bad for being a hunter
It was my first character
they dragged me into some stereotype I wasn't a part of, and acted like I was the person in their head they imagined but I wasn't
they talked to themselves believing they were saying things to me
People are poor and delusional
Ja, The Simpson have a scene for anything.
Noone wants a raid group without hunters!!
(Like me) They can screw a 30 mins preparation in 1 second, who else can do that? :D
In my experience hunters are always the nice ones, I think it's about time we stop giving shit to people because of their choice of fucking video game class lmao.
Epidemiologists then : "It's cool and all but it's unrealistic; nobody in the real world would intentionally go and spread the disease just for shits and giggles."
Epidemiologists now : "I don't want to live on this planet anymore."
Mean either
Why are people so stupid
They actually took people infecting others into account, giving them some knowledge about behavior during the pandemic.
Actually, epidemiologists did pay attention to it. They actually used it as a case study for future pandemics and how some people would behave. There are actual scientific papers written on it.
@@linkblade0 a whole lot of good that did lol 😂
@@Ceece20 Eh, studying it could only do so much. I kinda doubt the World Health Organization anticipated Republicans politicizing a deadly virus.
The “man, I’m feeling kinda bored lately. Do you guys wanna summon a blood god ?” Got me good 😂 you freaking nailed that line
Such a relatable villain motivation.
I remember this. Stormwind was a graveyard, it was so bizarre.
This is how a true pandemic is.
Many people have never seen a TRUE pandemic, but you would know if you had, there would be dead bodies in the streets like India and Africa.
doom lord kazzak was a pretty good time too!
@@phatwcinfrcr Wasnt he the one you could kite from Blasted Lands to Goldshire?
I remember this, it was so bad that the CDC actually studied it to predict how people would react during an actual plague. And now, we have it, and it's... pretty much exactly like how it happened in game
E nigma Thats a crock of shit urban legend. The CDC learned nothing back then nor is it any smarter today. Back then it was wear a mask, then get vaccinated, now its both...maybe forever. The CDC cant get on one page about anything, but everyone washes their hands (no pun intended) by using them as the guiding agency.
That was by far, the favorite cherry on top of the whole story. Imagine an accidental in-game pandemic happening and the CDC steps in and says "Wait, don't reset yet. Let's observe for a while"
I don't think they actually asked blizzard to wait to reset, but that's how I imagine it lol
@@sefyravelvetpaw8166 The CDC did this irl though, with their gene therapy shots.
I think i read somewhere that at the time this actually attracted the attention of Pandemic specialists to analyze the behavior and the situation to know how a population reacts and it gave great insight.
I stoped watching porn to be here soo early.
i feel ya. i feel ya x')
HekMan Studios oh man now that is original. You should really consider becoming a comedian, in my opinion.
I remember the Corrupted Blood Plague. It was definitely an experience. All in all it was fun to see the community come together to try and find ways around it and keep each other alive. Good times.
My 10th grade science teacher was such a wow nerd. He used this very example to explain what a real world pandemic would occur. Naturally, we bonded quite well.
My pity. . . what a bunch of indolent s he just made if any of you absorbed any of the bollocks he was shitting
2:53 The gentle cough is the best part.
This was good, do moar
happy birthday again!
"remarkable prodigies" lol
I remember when Death Knights could target friendlies with their plagues for 2 hours that one time.
One thing you forgot to mention is that there was some discussion about studying the player's responses to the plague since they seemed to mirror what we have seen of some smaller outbreaks beforehand. It was thought that the players were too reckless because they could always resurrect.
Covid proved that not only was the estimation of people's survival instincts wrong, it also showed there were a lot more griefers IRL than in game.
I remeber this plague, i was legit terrified at the time, i played a human Paladin and luckily the plague didn’t hit the starting area yet, eventually i was ready to head to storm wind, and i was stopped by priests player characters telling me about how this plague was tearing through the server, needless to say i avoided Stormwind and ironforge both and did my leveling and grinding in the wilderness, moving from town to hamlet etc, eventually before i knew i was level 30+ or so just from doing quests.
Maybe MMORPGs aren't that bad.
Dude went off the grid while society collapsed
Even though I heard this story a thousand times, this was hilarious and informative.
I'm happy to hear it, thanks!
Captain Grim thank you so much for bringing us some smiles and fun
you sud cheach the MC pet bomb bug :D
Again you continue to show such a wonderful job animating these, and with better and more improved character facial expressions. Amazing work and keep it up! ^_^
Thanks Rab, It's much appreciated. Cheers! :)
and remember kids, if something is wrong it always must be a hunter's fault
Or a warlock, of course.
Soo, you mean Corona came because of the god damn Hunters?
@@BigDvsRL indeed , they pulled it.
Those first diabolical hunters back in the day who experimented with hiding their pet after infection deserve a server first achievement and title "Plague Bringer"
Hunters got told Zin'rokh, Destroyer of Worlds was on res for warriors so they released the plague upon Azeroth.
I do love that scientist used this as a study to further investigate how a real world scenario would play out.
Random events like this would be awesome to experience.
Well they did end up doing with the shadowlands pre patch
The best part about this whole incident is that the CDC uses this as actual data for plague response
Would have been cool, if it became an actual part of the lore.
It did
I'm just gonna say it right now, not even a minute into the video: as a hunter main, if I played in vanilla I'd have totally tried to join in on spreading it as soon as I found out how.
Hunters... All the time hunters.
Just the best class in the game. We are able to do so much things
It literally would not be a more perfect time for Blizz to bring this plague back for a little while
imagine wow coming back from self destruct mode by the power of CORONAAAAA!
@@zeehero7280 it did make a return, Valdrakken was on fire with it a while back
"HUNTERS!" lol I broke out in an evil laugh and i'm not even a minute in.
Infected people?
Hmmm looks like a job for our good guy Arthas.
"A sound plan".
8:45 - "Hakkar is confirmed to have a presence in the Shadowlands, so maybe we will get another mass extinction very soon".
Fast forward to year and a half later... Oh boy.
I am prob too late to the party but just wanted to add a mini-fact, the first hunter player that caused Blood Plague to spread to outside world didnt do it on purpose he simply wanted to save his pet from dying during the boss fight so you could say that road to hell is paved with good intentions :)
weird idea but what if he abandoned that pet and replaces it with another from the pet trainer? Surely a hunter like him has more than one
EnderGoku9001 He probably loved his pet and cared about it and didn’t want it to die
@@EnderGoku9001 Why would he abandon the pet when he had no idea what was about to happen because of it? I am pretty attached to some of the pets on my hunter and I would be pretty hesitant to abandon them.
@@EnderGoku9001 believe it or not
But main reason i Play Bm hunter is to Rp..
I take good cares of my pets ^^
"Man, would it be cool to rip off Pokemon in WoW one day, like pets battling or something, No, no, no, that sounds pretty dumb"
Burn, oof
Playing FFXIV this is like the equivalent of if you put the Burr burrow debuff in every town and city.... OUTSIDE OF A DUNGEON, and it constantly kept going up and never ended.

@@en21b you mustn't have played during legion then
I love that wow advertisements play before this every single time I come to watch it again.
I still remember me and my wife guarding the entrance to northshire abbey to protest the new players.
We did the same during the undead event.
Good times
The Corrupted Blood plague is one of the most fascinating moments in MMORPG history for me. The fact that it came about naturally, and spread essentially as a real pandemic would; that players created quarantines and enforced social distancing and that medics literally tried to heal the sick. It feels like an event that would happen in a real, living world. It also fascinates me that apparently the plague was even studied by epidemiologists in order to gain some understanding about the spread and control of real pandemics.
so epidemiologists have to use video games to learn how to control disease? lol sound fake as fuck
Another funny thing is the fact that people were intentionally spreading it or completely disregarding all instructions to stay in quarantine which are both extremely common real world circumstances and the #1 and #2 major problems with real world epidemics. No joke. Doesn't matter how effective treatments are if people aren't even getting them, haha. XD
Spread as a real pandemic would? I don't hide in corners waiting to cough on people as they walk by when I have the flu.
@@spankyjeffro5320 And what are those effective treatments you're referring to? I can only assume. Vaccines aren't vaccines if you can still catch the thing you're vaccinated from.
@@jamesofallthings3684 Vaccines are vaccines if they reduce both the chance of catching the illness and the severity of the illness. Not every virus is the same, some are very much the "get it once and never again" virus (measles, chicken pox, polio), and those respond to vaccines the way you think they should. Other viruses are repeat offenders (influenza, covid, pneumonia), so vaccines don't work as well for prevention BUT do reduce the chance you'll get them by preparing your immune system early. This also means that if you do catch them, the illness won't be as severe because your immune system will already be prepared to fight it off.
The guy banging his head repeatedly on a boulder is such a mood for 2020
That’s the tank lol
5:10 made me shed tears... so touching :'(
It was, but then I laughed when the scene ended ubruptly
*everybody is freaking dying*
"I have this weird feeling that something bad is happening.
"Oh yeah? What makes you say that" *drops dead*
"Oh, I dunno."
Two years later and even the thought of the scene with the pig's first cough makes me burst into laughs xD
OMG the boar coughing at the beginning just CRACKED me up for some reason.
That boar coughing has got me laughing like hell
the quality was orgasmic
I'm firmly in the camp of missing the zombie plague. That was a ton of fun
It would be awesome if a future zone had some kind of similar event, even limited to that zone, so you could go and enjoy it over there
I heard this plaque was so realistic in showing how people reacted to its effects and spread, that a group of scientists even studied it to find how better to deal with real life virus outbreaks in future.
Heard this story so many times from different RUclipsrs. This was the best delivery.
I really hoped that the bug would be back in Classic WoW too :(
didnt they actually use this to get some data about spreading and stuff?!
yep! there was some research around this, but it's been covered so much in every other corrupted blood video, so I thought I'd skip it :)
@@CaptainGrim ofc, nice vid as always!
Yes and it may have helped scientist build an hypothesis on how Corona would spread. But people are dumb and it spread like wildfire anyway.
@@dinovoldo544 0,04% death rate from covid-19 for people from age 0-60. :)
@@SteaksOnSpear You are correct, the death rate is low, but check the COVID-19 survivors stories. It's not pretty.
I spat out my food when I heard the headless horseman laugh.
Ah one of the best chapters in the history of hunters.
I always love to come and listen to our stories and remember our great comrades who carried out the sacred duty of every hunter:
“Yes, this is indeed a hunter weapon”
I would take shifts curing infected people who ran in to the auction house with the intent to spread it to everyone who was there trying to shop - good times.
This sounds freaking hilarious. Must have been a joy playing back then.
damn i lost my breathe when the boar coughed near the start, from then on i knew id love this video
This is the best editing for wow I’ve ever seen
And you still checks comments from a vid 3 years ago sub earned
I’ll never forget the clip of the plague spreading set to the “everyone has aids” song from Team America World Police…
I remember when this happened in game... bones as far as the eye could see in Orgrimar and Ironforge. Fortunately I was maining a holy priest at the time and already used to healing people through that. I remember trying to save people from the plague.
What about that one time warlocks released a living bomb at the auction house ? 🙃
The difference is comparing apples to jet fighters.
Living bomb was a non transmissible one time thing, the plague was self replicating.
A good bomb does help keep the Auction Bots twitchy.
When Nurgle decides to unleash a daemonic plague upon Azeroth:
I remember seeing that whole thing unfold as it happened. Archimonde was my home server and the entire situation was absolutely hilarious 😂😂. One of my favorite WoW memories back then.
You forgot to add that doctors and health groups actually studied this event as a example of how plagues spread
I helped spread this back in the day. Good times! Not as a hunter though. I regret not doing it more as it was the one a lifetime event where everything just aligned for it not to just be a bug but so much more.
I would definitely say yes to more history videos like this, coupled with your amazing editing, this was very entertaining
The appropriate use of “somethings not quite right..” here killed me

I loved that jab at "girl" players. Most of the times if a "girl" was dancing on a mailbox for money, it was a G.I.R.L, Guy in real life, behind it. XD
Never understood the obsession with the players gender. why care? yes some minority of players ARE female in real life but many of them are much less likely to "dance on a mailbox for money" as I at least hope most women have self respect.
