Well, I guess now Blizzard can say “We told you so!” in regards to their comments that the zombie plague which started Thursday wouldn't last long.  Tigole posted today to announce that the plague has come to an end, but the Scourge Invasion itself still continues, and there's more to come for the prologue event in general, leading up to Wrath of the Lich King's launch.

We'd like to thank players for participating so
zealously (and valiantly!) during the Great Zombie Plague of '08. Our
intention with this event was to create something memorable and to
literally change the face of Azeroth for a few days. This event is just
one of many leading up to Wrath of the Lich King. As you know, the
Scourge Invasion is now live as well and there is some other cool stuff
coming up before all is said and done. Also, Hallow's End continues on!

While we recognize that the event could prove to be disruptive at
times, we hope you made the most out of it while it lasted. Part of
playing in a “living and breathing world” means that things are going
to change from time to time. We meant no harm but only wanted to create
a lasting impression on players as they head to Northrend to defeat the
Lich King. The Lich King's goals (as you will soon learn) are to turn
the Horde and Alliance not only on one another, but on their own kind
as well. I think the plague truly demonstrated this firsthand.

So it looks like a cure has finally been found… for now.

Thank you for participating in our most memorable event to date… for better or for…. brrrrrrraaaaaains…

He then followed that up with a reply to players concerning just what the end of the plague means.

Couple of other important notes:

* The scourge invasion will continue for a few more days.
* The prologue event is not over! More to come!!
* The Karazhan boss will be up for approximately another week still
* We increased the respawn rate of the Necropoli
* Zombie cure should kick in by around noon PST

And did the “whiners” win out?  According to Tigole, no.

Q u o t e:Whiners win again – come on Tigole, just let it run for a few more days

This has nothing to do with anyone whining. The event played out on it's scheduled course =)
